Quotable quotes"A student of turfgrass culture will find a study of soils pertinent to his understanding of the problems of growing grass. ...Only in horticulture does the value of the crop justify extensive soil modification or even soil construction." p. 155
"Fertilizer, the most important tool of the turf manager, affects color, vigor, form, and density of turfgrasses; turfgrass weediness; extent of rooting (and consequently irrigation needs and hence degree of compaction); extent of injury from disease, insects, drought, heat, and cold; and frequency of mowing and rate of thatch buildup." p. 209-210
