| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the challenges created when maintaining turf shaded by buildings. Maintenance tips suggested include: mow frequently, raise cutting heights, and spike or use turf reinforcements. Suggests spiking or Verti-draining with heave to combat heavy compaction. Mentions that shaded areas tend to require less irrigation. Also mentions blends of cultivars and species useful in shaded areas. Other considerations discussed include undersoil heating, traffic reduction and supplementary lighting. |
