| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Sierra del Rio Golf Course, near Elephant Butte, New Mexico, the state's first totally organic golf course. States that "the biggest goal at Sierra del Rio is a 66 percent reduction in the amount of water needed for irrigation, compared with courses of similar size and climate, where synthetic fertilizers are the main source of turf nutrition." Describes the process of modifying the course into becoming organic, such as mixing granulated sulfur and organic fertilizer into the sandy soil. Concludes that "even though [there is] beautiful grass growing at Sierra del Rio, there are people who show up and say it will never work." |
