Turf Love in Putnam County
This summer Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County began its Turf Love Program, a county-wide program designed to get participating homeowners to protect water quality by learning and using lawn care IPM principles. The program consists of: * Lawn Site assessment by Master Gardeners
(click here for site assessment survey and here for lawn survey questionnaire)
* Soil nutrient analysis
* Turf Love Journal - a homeowner diary
* Best Management Plan
* Kick-off Saturday Workshop for participants
* Mid-summer contact by Master Gardeners
* Super Turf Saturday workshop at end of September .
They hope to expand the program next year to other counties.
If you are interested in being part of the expansion let us know.
