Characteristics

Hancock's Argentine Bahia Spring & Summer Grass Seed Mix is a great replacement option for problematic lawns and pastures, especially in warmer climates. Its deep and dense root structure allows it to perform well under drought conditions and it is one of the most environmentally-friendly lawn and pasture varieties available.

Argentine Bahia Grass has wide, broad leaves with a light to medium green color. Bahia's require a minimum of 8 hours of sunlight for optimal growth. Once established, Argentine Bahia Grass produces 10 to 12 feet of deep and dense root structure. Hancock’s Argentine Bahia grass seed is the best lawn grass and pasture grass seed available for southern climates, especially Florida. This variety makes an excellent low-maintenance permanent lawn grass or pasture grass for horses, cattle, and any other type of livestock.

The Brown Top Millet is added to assist in fast ground coverage, retaining soil moisture and preventing soil and seed erosion. The Brown Top Millet will germinate in 7 days under optimal conditions and grow for approximately 65 days. It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed to prevent the Brown Top Millet from overcrowding or shading out the Argentine Bahia seedlings.

Coated seed is surrounded in a clay based coating which aids in moisture retention for germination, birds tend not to eat the coated seed, and it is easier to see where it has been spread. The coating takes up a portion of the bag, which means less seed per pound but you are getting the added benefit of the coating. The raw seed is just how it sounds, seed in the purest form - not coated or mixed with anything.

Hancock's Argentine Spring & Summer Grass Seed Mix contains:
Argentine Bahia Grass Seed - Coated
Brown Top Millet Seed - Raw

Hancock's Argentine Spring & Summer Grass Seed mix typically has Argentine Bahia Grass Seed and Brown Top Millet Seed. The percentages of mixes can vary slightly from year to year. Please call our office with any questions (800-552-1027).

Soil Prep

  • When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
    • If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product’s manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period. 
  • When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippings. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.

 

Seeding

  • Seeding Rate: 2 - 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 100-150 lbs. per acre
  • Overseeding Rate: 1 - 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 50 - 100 lbs. per acre
  • Spread at the recommended rate based on total area and whether it is bare ground or pre-existing vegetation.
  • Spreader Settings: There is not any one setting that applies for all brands of spreaders. We recommend reviewing the seed settings chart that came with your spreader or contact the manufacturer directly. Ensure you are choosing a seed on the list by the manufacturer that closely resembles the seed you are choosing to plant.
    • If you have any concerns on what setting you should use, we recommend always starting with the smallest option then adjusting it to match the recommended seeding rate.

 

Fertilizer

  • Grass like all living things need food to survive. Food for grasses is fertilizer. We recommend fertilizing every 3 - 4 months with Hancock's 16-04-08 Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer. Our 16-04-08 Lawn and Pasture Fertilizer is custom blended to provide a slow-releasing, water-activated economical fertilizer. Hancock's 16-04-08 Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer can be applied at a rate of 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 250 lbs. per acre. The most probable cause of a declining lawn or pasture is poor nutrition. If you have any concerns about your soil, we recommend getting your soil tested to determine what nutrients you are low in as well as your pH. The results of the soil testing will give you the best information to amend your soil for the best grass growth.

 

Watering Schedule

  • For best results, water your lawn each morning and evening for 30 minutes based on weather conditions, until the new seedlings have reached the height of 3 - 5 inches for lawns or 8 - 20 inches for pasture.
  • Once they have reached that height, water 3 times per week as needed. 
  • For best results, keep the soil moist while not over-watering the area or creating puddles.

 

Germination Time

  • Brown Top Millet - 7 days, under optimal conditions
  • Argentine Bahia - 21 - 30 days, under optimal conditions

 

Mowing Requirements

  • Lawns: Mow at 3 - 5 inches regularly.
  • Pastures: Mow or allow grazing to keep pastures maintained at 8-20 inches.
  • It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed at 3 - 5 inches to prevent the Brown Top Millet from overcrowding or shading out the Argentine Bahia seedlings.

Exceptional Comfort and Warmth!
I recently purchased the quilted covers for my king-size bed, and I couldn't be more pleased with the product. This blanket not only fits my wife and me comfortably, but it has also become our go-to choice for exceptionally cold winter nights. What surprised me the most is the incredible warmth provided by such a light blanket. It's one of the lightest blankets I've ever felt, yet it manages to keep us cozy and warm throughout the night. The quality of insulation is truly exceptional. Another highlight of this quilted cover is its ease of maintenance. It's incredibly easy to wash, maintaining its softness and fluffiness after each wash. The softness is akin to lying on a cloud, making it a delightful experience every time we use it. The overall design and craftsmanship of the blanket are top-notch. It's not only functional but also adds a touch of luxury to our bed. The fluffiness and cloud-like softness make it a perfect companion for a good night's sleep. In conclusion, I highly recommend the quilted covers for anyone looking for a combination of comfort, warmth, and ease of care. It has exceeded my expectations in every aspect, and I am more than satisfied with this exceptional product.

A 5 star WIN - such a soft, so fluffy, perfect cloud duvet comforter that feels expensive but isn't. Like sleeping in a cloud.
My fiance' and I both had king size duvets - mine from Ikea, down alternative, a few years old, and I'm not sure where his was from, but his was true goose down/feathers. After going away for the weekend to stay at a lovely vacation home, we got a bit spoiled with the comfortable bed and great linens there, so when we came home we decided it was time for a bed makeover. Since I love to research, I spent hours scouring Amazon for something that looked like it was actually a great comforter at a great price. This duvet is everything we wanted and more. Oh my GOSH...it is SO fluffy. SO soft. It's my marshmallow cloud comforter. The inside fill has a silky soft feeling to it when you press on it - it sort of slides in your hands when you touch it, like the fill has a light, silky feel to it Even when I sit on the end of the bed to do something, I can feel how comfortable it is to just even sit on. It makes our old duvets seem pathetic, like something you'd go camp with. This duvet is as nice as the bedding we had where we stayed in our vacation home. It feels like it has medium weight, but it's warm - quite warm for the weight. We keep it cool in our home at night so for us it's perfect. The material is so soft. We covered it immediately with a beautiful cover because we want to keep it in perfect condition. I also notice that even though both of our old duvets were king size, this one (also a king) just seems bigger. Our bed is a queen and the king size fits perfectly over it, it drapes over the sides just far enough. Also, my fiance' likes to roll up in his covers when he sleeps. He has plenty of room to do that without taking any of the duvet from my side. :) Verdict - it's amazing, I feel like a princess sleeping under this duvet. It's amazing for this price, amazing. All 3 of us give it 5 stars - me, fiance' and our cat who now won't get off of our bed. Someone mentioned that it doesn't have loops on the corners. That's true, it doesn't, but you can always sew those on if you want to. I found a kit for that on amazon too. But trust me, this comforter is worth sewing loops if you really want them. However, like others, we haven't found that the comforter moves or shifts in the duvet cover at all. It stays very well, better than any of my old comforters did, and I've had a few. Perhaps it's the loft that keeps it in place so well. I'll check back in after some time to let you know if if stays nice.

Soft, Cozy, and Perfect for All Seasons – Great Value for the Price!
Size: King, Color: Grey
I purchased the Utopia Bedding All Season Down Alternative Quilted King Comforter, and it has been a great addition to our bed. The comforter is soft and has a nice, lightweight feel that’s comfortable year-round. It provides just the right amount of warmth without feeling too heavy, so we’ve used it both during cooler nights and warmer weather without feeling overheated. The grey color is rich and stylish, adding a modern touch to our room decor. The quilted design keeps the filling evenly distributed, so there are no cold spots, and it holds its shape well even after washing. The corner tabs are a nice touch for securing it inside a duvet cover, though we’ve also used it on its own. It’s easy to wash in the machine, and so far, it’s held up well with no signs of pilling or fading. One minor drawback is that it’s a bit thinner than I expected for a “down alternative” comforter, so if you prefer a super fluffy look, you might want to layer it with an additional blanket. That said, it’s perfect for a clean, streamlined appearance on the bed, and the comfort level is still very cozy. Overall, this Utopia Bedding comforter is a fantastic value for anyone seeking an affordable, all-season option that’s easy to care for. It’s comfortable, versatile, and stylish – a solid choice if you’re looking for a dependable comforter for everyday use!

So great to use as a Duvet insert or as a Comforter on it’s own.
Size: King, Color: White, Size: King, Color: White
I recently purchased this Duvet Insert/All Season Comforter and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The bright white color seamlessly complements my furniture and walls, adding a clean and elegant look to my bedroom. What I appreciate most is its versatility; it keeps me warm during the winter months while also providing a cool comfort when the temperature rises. I love that it's lightweight yet still offers that cozy, snug feeling, which is why I haven't felt the need to use a duvet cover. The initial setup was a breeze—I simply took it out of the shrink wrap, tossed it in the washer and dryer, and it was ready to use immediately. There was no unpleasant odor upon opening, which is a big plus. The functionality of this comforter is commendable; it serves well both as a standalone comforter and as an insert for a duvet cover, making it a practical addition to my bedding collection. After washing and drying, it retained its fluffy shape and vibrant color, further enhancing my satisfaction with the purchase. Overall, it's a great product that combines style and comfort effectively.
