| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the "reduced use of fungicides and herbicides, as well as water conservation, healthier soils and protection of sensitive ecosystems...[and] compost and compost tea." Describes how Dean Piller, superintendent of Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, introduced compost in "all the surrounding flower beds and shrubs." Details Pillar's experimentation "with the application of compost teas that are sprayed on the fairways, tees, and driving range." Mentions "A-1 Organics, based in Eaton, Colorado, [which] composts a range of municipal, agricultural and industrial organics at four sites in Colorado." States that "Pro-Gro [compost]...makes up 80 percent of the total fertility applied to [the] fairways via two applications" at The Country Club at Castle Pines, in Castle Rock, Colorado. Profiles the Blackburn Meadows Golf Club on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada, stating that "the golf course [has been maintained] as an organic facility in order to preserve and protect its delicate nature." Concludes that "an organically maintained golf course is a way of the future and without these maintenance practices, the turf grass industry will fade as chemical regulations become difficult to accommodate." |
