| Abstract/Contents: | [Entire text] "Everybody feels they have the worst conditions to work with to produce a good turf, no matter their location. In Atlanta and the Southeast we have our own challenge. Life is a series of actions and reactions and we can frequently do well if we can cause the action rather than always having to react. As we plan for any occasion, such as a vacation, a fishing trip, buying a house, and growing grass, the more variables we address and use in our plans, the better chance we have to survive the occasion for which we are planning. It is those unplanned for 'things that happen' that may cause us to have some stress at one time or another. In the dictionalry, stress is found between strength and stretch. If we use our strength to plan, and stretch our imaginations as we get ready, we can be ready for each day. Not only do we have our bodies to take care of, we have the grass plants to take care of as well. For our bodies we can eat the right foods, get enough rest, get exercise, and plan our work. For the greass, we can soil test, fertilize, mow, aerify, water, apply pesticides, and adjust for weather conditions. As we plan our work and work our plan, we can tell the grass what to do." |
