Fundamentals of Growing Turfgrass
Пра гэту электронную кнігу
The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
Grass is the forgiveness of nature - her constant benediction. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal.
Grass is the cheapest plant to install and the most expensive to maintain.
Sedges have edges, and rushes are round, grasses are hollow. What have you found?
Fertilizer does no good in a heap, but a little spread around works miracles all over.
By means of water, we give life to everything.
