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.

Easy to clean,
Size: 10-Piece Set, Color: Copper
Oh, my! This cookware is amazing! It's heavy gauge aluminum so very doubtful it would ever warp as my last set of thin aluminum did. I like the steam escape holes in the lids. Very nice set and a great price. I'd highly recommend?

Great pans at excellent price
Color: Ivory
I waited way too long to purchase these pans. GAMECHANGER. I love the pans, they cook perfectly, no stick and cleanup, a spray and a wipe and spotless. I have purchased many pans that have let me down and ended up in the garbage. I love the beautiful white color also. Excellent price. I could go on and on…

Amazing deal!
Color: Linen Gray
This was my first time trying a ceramic pan, and I’ve only had these three days, but so far I am in love. I’ve made grilled sandwiches, scrambled eggs and fried shrimp with the tiniest bit of butter in the pan, and no sticking! Cleanup is so easy. Just wipe with a sponge, rinse and dry. They’re nice and heavy, so heating is fairly even. Nice stainless steel handles so they can be used in the oven. And I got three of them for just over $30 on a flash deal, which is insane considering the high quality. Great value for the money! Will have to see how they hold up. I did purchase new softer silicone utensils to keep the surface nice. And I’ve laid down the law to hubby… NO non-stick spray on these!

Absolutely as good as other brands!
Color: Linen Gray
A nice looking set of non stick pans! I have bought GreenPan and GreenLife? pans over the last 15-20 years. None have ever lasted more than about 3 years. I do cook a lot. These work as well and I like the price. Clean up easily. They have good heat distribution. Don’t know how long they will last, but for the price, it will be good. They are truly nonstick. Heavier than expected. Quality pans…not flimsy at all. I highly recommend these!
