Organic Turf Management
From Frank S. Rossi, Cornell University
Organic Turf Management: An article in the Wall Street Journal discussed the development of Organic Lawn Care. The article can be viewed online.
The accompanying video to the article is very entertaining and highlights the need to renovate an existing lawn as a means of reducing weed invasions and then keeping up with weeds through physical removal. An additional sidebar reviews some six steps to an organic lawn. This is a typical main stream press review with little input from turfgrass professionals but does outline the issue very well.
