How to keep wild bermuda from overtaking my hybrid bermuda?
Q. I have a high quality hybrid bermuda lawn. I repaired several areas with bermuda grass seed. I used a mixture of 3 different types of bermuda that comes in one bag.

A. There are no selective herbicides that can control common Bermudagrass in a hybrid Bermudagrass lawn. A non-selective herbicide like RoundUp is your best control option. Your hybrid Bermudagrass does not produce viable seeds, therefore, it is propagated vegetatively (sod, plugs, stolons). Repairs should be made with like hybrid sod, plugs or stolons. You could verticut an area of your existing lawn and use the stolons from this area to repair the bare areas. Princess 77 is a common Bermudagrass that is propagated with seed and comes closest to the finer balded hybrids. The hybrids generally tolerate lower cutting heights better than the commons.

What chemical reactions occur in hybrid cars as opposed to regular cars that run on gasoline?
Q. I have to do a rough draft for a chemistry project and I have had no luck finding information so far. My topic is to explain the chemical reactions that occur in both a hybrid car and a regular car in order to compare them. If you know anything, please help. Websites and online sources would be appreciated.

A. Gasoline combines rapidly with Oxygen in a heat (spark) induced explosion in a basic car engine. Toxic gases are the chemical output, including carbon monoxide. When combined with a electric motors that recharge from braking action, no chemical processes are involved, just electro mechanical. This is the Toyota Prius method. Using hydrogen fuel cells is another matter. When hydrogen and oxygen are combined to produce energy, the "exhaust" is non-toxic water.

For those that purchased a hybrid vehicle, how much did your electricity bill go up at your home?
Q. I am considering purchasing a hybrid vehicle, however, I have heard you don't save much because you have to recharge it every night with electricity, so it sends your electric bill up. I have also heard the cars don't have alot of power. Any thoughts?

A. most hybrid cars dont need to be plugged in any more. Some work on the brakes when you are stopping the brakes charge the batteries it is called degenerative braking it is complex but it works and electric vehicles are pretty fast now and you would not know the difference if you were behide one
