Abstract/Contents: | Proposes "the use of Native American grasses and wildflowers" as "an alternative to the highly maintained, elite, cool season turf used on the majority of..golf courses." States that the reason for proposing this is that people in the golf industry are "running out of good water supplies for irrigation, fertilizers are becoming cost prohibitive, and....the [possible] long term effect" of pesticides on the environment. Discusses potential installation methods for the Native American grasses and wildflower mixes, including hand seeding, hydraulic seeding, and seeding with the Rangeland Grass drill. |
