| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the use of scrap tires to improve sports fields, tracks and pathways. Explains that the process involves "incorporating crumb rubber from shredded tires into the soil to a depth of three to five inches." States that "the results are described as twofold: on grass playing fields, the soil does not compact under heavy use and the grass grows luxuriously, resulting in a very resilient surface." Notes that "this process won't work on all soils." |
