| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "an innovative project to establish a research program that will see a local school oval transformed into a complex irrigation and turf-monitoring site." Explains that "the Grass Roots project was conceived in 2004 when Canberra, along with the rest of Australia, was in the midst of the worst drought in its history." Describes the grasses used for the project including Trancontinental couch, Rhizomatous Tall Fescue (RTF), Eureka Hard Fescue Blend, Premium Tall Fescue Blend, and Sir Walter Buffalo. Concludes that "what distinguishes this system from other products is a flat polyethylene strip attached to the underside of the drip line. This prevents the downward movement of water away from the root zones." |
