Hancock's Centipede Grass is a low-maintenance, low growing crawling lawn grass with medium leaf texture and pale green color.

Centipede Grass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) was introduced into the United States from seed found in the baggage of Frank Meyer, a USDA plant explorer who disappeared on his fourth trip to China in 1916. It was initially used for low-maintenance cemeteries and eventually for lawns, during and after the Great Depression, and is sometimes referred to as "lazy man's grass," or "poor man's grass."

Adaptation

Hancock's Centipede Grass Seed is very popular for home lawns in the Southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Coated Seed vs Raw Seed

Coated seed contains a clay-based surrounding shell that increases moisture retention and helps to reduce insect or fowl consumption. Coated seed contains approximately 50% coating weight, or inert weight, per pound of seed. Coated Centipede Seed is also easier to see after it is applied. Raw seed is pure, raw seed just like it sounds. Raw features no fillers, coatings or treatments.

For new lawns, seed Hancock's Centipede Grass Seed any time it can be prepared, except in late summer. Planting in Florida should be accomplished no later than the end of August due to the chance of frost damage to young seedlings. Early Spring plantings should include 1-2 lbs. of Winter Rye Grass as a cover grass per 1000 sq. ft.

Prepare the seedbed by tilling the soil. Remove existing grass and debris. Apply 10-15 lbs. of a complete fertilizer per 1,000 sq. Do not use a weed-and-feed fertilizer product! Distribute seed evenly over soil surface by using a cyclone-type spreader. Mix with sand for best results and even distribution. Plant by raking the seed into the soil to a depth of no more than 1/2 in. Keep the seedbed moist constantly for two to three weeks after planting. Hancock's Coated Centipede Grass Seed should germinate in 2 to 3 weeks. After germination, water only as needed.

Maintain your lawn by mowing at 1.5 to 2 in. in height. Cut no more than 1/3 of the leaf off during one mowing. Use sharp mower blades.

Fertilizer should be applied to Hancock's Centipede Grass in 1 to 3 applications, from spring green-up through fall. Do not apply nitrogen too early in the growing season (particularly in north Florida) or subsequent frosts may damage the grass. Likewise, don't fertilize too late in the year, as this can slow regrowth the following Spring. If applying water-soluble fertilizers at the lower application rate, it will take more applications to apply the total amount of fertilizer needed for the year than if applying a slow-release fertilizer form.

Depending on the existing vegetation, seed rates should be adjusted to fit your specific needs. Higher seed rates will increase coverage on existing lawn applications.

The best hand soap bars PERIOD.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Wow! I am actually VERYYYY impressed with this soap. Believe me when I tell you I have tried everything from $5 for 6 bars soap to $50 for 1 bar soap (not an exaggeration). And I can wholeheartedly say this is the absolute best bang for your buck when it comes hand washing/soap. To me these little bars are absolutely awesome for hand washing. I use the scrubby bar when I have a ton of grease after eating say pizza or something & and then I use the moisturizing bars for all other hand washing. These bars blow away some of the best artisan expensive bars I’ve used like Caldwell Massey or Gentleman’s Nod or Ariana & Evans. These are now go to hand soap bars and I will use nothing else because these are so good. I don’t use liquid soap because I feel like I can never get it off and it feels like it’s always still stuck to my skin even after rinsing and rinsing and rinsing so I like using bar soap and I like bar soap that really dry out your skin for your hands and these little bars do it extremely well without over drying your skin. I do wish the scent was a bit more powerful because all 3 bars have a nice scent each. Tried the sandalwood bar in the shower and like I suspected go with the 6oz bars for the shower because these little 3.5oz guys just go too quickly for all over body use. So for the shower, I’ll use the 5.3/6oz bars and my hands these little guys will now be my go to!

Great Quality Soap with a Clean, Masculine Scent
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I recently got the Rinse & Robust Men’s Bar Soap Set, and the bar I’m holding in the picture is the Leather scent, which my husband has been trying out first. It has a rich, masculine fragrance that smells clean without being too strong. The soap lathers nicely, rinses off easily, and leaves his skin feeling soft instead of dry. The set also includes Sandalwood and Teakwood, which both smell amazing in the box. I can already tell they’ll be just as refreshing. Each bar feels well-made and lasts longer than most store-bought soaps we’ve tried. The packaging looks great too, so it would make a thoughtful gift set. So far, the Leather scent has been a hit. It’s a classic, smooth, and perfect for everyday use.

My honest thoughts on this soap.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I think this soap is very good. The texture is nice and the scent it omits is amazing. It is a little smaller than they are letting on and it is quite expensive. But if you like quality over quantity then this is for you.
