Pick Correct Material for Outdoor Patio
Kansas State University's James Nightwonger advises choosing patio materials by use, maintenance, and aesthetics. Concrete offers durability with options like redwood grid or exposed aggregate for visual appeal. DIY-friendly grid helps pour one square at a time, while exposed aggregate requires an experienced contractor. Brick on a sand bed also presents a practical option.

Student conducts weed experiment near Tribune
Richard Waldren a Kansas State agronomy junior tested a light exposure theory on ten acres near Tribune. Under Dr Kurt Feltner’s guidance plots were worked day and night across sandy loam and silt loam soils revealing a 40 percent germination drop for pigweed and devils claw when cultivated at night. The study suggests daylight exposure might awaken dormant seeds and calls for further research into light filtering and timing for farming.
