| Abstract/Contents: | Details the use of compost made from recycled garden waste in golf courses as a means of adopting sustainable practices. States that in 2006 a study showed "97 per cent of people in grounds maintenance or landscaping sectors ranked the adoption of sustainable practices as a top... concern, with 86 per cent saying they also had a positive attitude towards compost." Discusses potential benefits of compost, including slow-release nutrients and water retention rates as well as the production of "humic substances and polysaccharides which bind soil particles into aggregates keeping soil grounded and more resistant to erosion." Explains specific examples of golfcourses using compost, their methods, and the positive results. |
