Timothy Grass Seed

Variety: Climax

Plant 10 - 15 Lbs. per Acre

Timothy is a bunchgrass that grows 2-4 feet tall. It grows best in cooler climates. Timothy is used primarily as a hay crop. When planted in the majority of Tennessee conditions, summer droughts cause stand reduction. Stands are not expected to last more than 3-4 years. It is a popular hay crop for horses, although orchardgrass and tall fescue can also be used successfully.

Timothy was introduced to North America by seed carried from Europe by early settlers in hay, litter, manure and ballast cleaned from ships. It was found growing in New Hampshire in about 1711 and was named "herdsgrass". It was first given the name timothy in 1747 and soon became an adapted, high-quality hay plant. It spread from New England into eastern Canada before 1800, and then westward as the country was settled.

Description

Timothy is a rapidly-developing, short-lived, perennial bunchgrass with shallow, fibrous roots extending downward to about 4 feet. Its crown consists of a group of bulb-like sections called corms. These produce a mass of basal leaves and usually one leafy stem of 20 to 40 inches that ends in a seed head. All leaves are soft, light green and 2 to 6 inches long. The single seed is small and is enclosed in an awned, urn-shaped husk. Individual timothy shoots are typically biennial, but the plant maintains itself as a perennial through the development and growth of new shoots from bases of older culms.

Adaptation

Timothy volunteers readily and is adapted to the cooler, moister areas of Montana, especially the poorly-drained alluvial soils, where it grows vigorously. As it is very tolerant of acidity, withstands some spring flooding and does well on waterlogged soils, it is well suited for use in low-lying, peaty areas. Timothy also thrives on clay, silt and sandy soils in cool climate regions with precipitation greater than 15 inches per year. It is winterhardy, persistent and fairly free from problems caused by insects, diseases and other pests. It is widely adapted and can be grown successfully under a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. Timothy is hardy at elevations up to 9,000 feet. Timothy survives a few weeks of flooding during the winter, but only a few days in the growing season. Seedling vigor is good and stand establishment usually is rapid. It ranks high in productivity among the grasses.

Use for Hay

Timothy is well suited to hay production, and timothy hay is especially desirable for the horse hay market. Growth is erect, easy to harvest and a full yield is normally possible in the first production year after seeding. Because of its bunch growth habit, it is less competitive for nutrients when grown in mixtures with legumes. Bunch growth also allows for alternate-row seeding which makes it ideal for mixtures with alsike and red clover and, in some cases, it is preferred for use with alfalfa.

Its main drawback is the serious loss of quality (protein) experienced if it is not harvested for hay before the bloom stage. Growing timothy in mixtures with legumes and harvesting early will overcome this problem. Although timothy is fairly tolerant of low fertility, the application of fertilizer, especially nitrogen, increases both yield and protein.

Timothy has been the standard hay for horses. When cut in full bloom, its high energy and low protein content were ideal for working stock. Its popularity is due to the fact that the grass seldom lodges, and is easily cured into bright, clean hay that is free from dust or mold and which can be handled with little waste.

Use for Pasture

Where adapted, timothy is commonly used for pastures. Spring growth is not too early although yield and palatability are very high. Leafy shoots are of excellent quality. Like smooth bromegrass, however, the main growth occurs in early summer and the tall shoots are easily overgrazed. Pasture rotation is critical and a much greater area is required after mid-July to compensate for decreased growth rate.

This grass is palatable to cattle and horses at all stages of growth. Deer and elk appear to only graze mature timothy plants after other grasses have been used. As a pasture plant, it is relatively short-lived and stands are soon depleted unless provision is made for natural or artificial reseeding. It produces an open sod that is easily weakened if heavily grazed.

Seeding

Timothy is recommended to be planted at a rate of 10 - 15 lbs per acre.

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.

BEST PILLOWS EVER!!!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I am very picky with my pillows because I have a bad neck and I can never seem to find a good pillow. But I tried this pillow because it had everything I was looking for and the price was great! You get two of them and they are absolutely awesome.! normally I would need to lay on two pillows to try and get comfortable but with these pillows I just lay on one and I wake up with no neck pain. They really have a nice cooling effect. They actually puff up immediately after opening them. All you have to do is just shake them up and the pillow just puffs straight up.. It comes with extra cushioning if you want it to make it firmer and if you don’t want it as firm as it is, you can actually take some out. It really is such a beautiful pillow. It’s perfect in every way to me being such a picky pillow person. You just lay your head down on it and it forms around your neck and your head and when you get up, it goes right back to its normal form. It doesn’t get flat and I love it. I completely recommend this to anyone who is a person who has a hard time finding a really good pillow.
