Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine the effects of multiple years of annual leaf mulching on turf performance." Results to date indicate that "leaves have no effect on turf visual quality or color. Leaves have no effect on turf growth measure by clipping weights. Leaves have no effect on mat or thatch depth. Leaves have no effect on soil pH or nutrient availability. Leaves have no effect on incidence of red thread, pink patch, or dollar spot. Leaves have no effect on weed infestation. The results are very positive and suggest that mulching tree leaves is an economical method of disposal with little risk of decreased turf performance." |
