| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential usefulness of starweed, highlighting an attempt produce a pure green of it at Waihi Beach Bowling Club in Waihi Beach, New Zealand. Details methods used to establish the turf, stating that "propagation was intensified by running the mower over the area both ways without the catcher when the seed was mature." Reports that "after four years almost complete coverage of the green had taken place, eliminating in the process hydrocotyle, grass, pearlwort, and moss." Describes management practices, focusing on fertilizing, watering, and mowing. Concludes that "the only disadvantage is an inclination of starweed to reflect bright sunlight in the early morning when playing West to East." |
