Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the construction of "an 18-hole golf course on a 238 acre wooded site on the Island of Martha's Vineyard...One of the 36 conditions of approval was that the golf course be managed organically; with organic defined as elmininating the use of traditional synthetic pesticides and using only natural fertilizers." Explains that those in charge of construction "mixed [the] topsoil with the partially decomposed forest litter"; "selected only grasses that tested well against diseases common to [the] location"; "cleared away most of the trees on the site"; "lined all 19 greens with plastic"; took great pains not to compromise the excellent drainage characteristic of a sandy site"; and "installed perimeter wells prior to grow-in to monitor ground water quality." |
