Before the time of the lawn mower, there was grass and sheep, and the sheep ate the grass. The grass was short, but the process wasn’t very efficient. For places, such as Utah, this was fine, but in more settled areas this lack of a lawn mower caused a problem for landowners.

Smooth brome is an introduced cool-season rhizomatous perennial grass known to invade throughout northern Great Plains. During the spring of 2013, we implemented an experimental study at the smooth brome invaded mixed grass prairie site of eastern South Dakota to evaluate mowing as an effective management tool for controlling smooth brome. Unlike earlier studies, our research focused on exploring the response of smooth brome below ground bud bank size, composition, and tiller establishment under different mowing frequency. Experiments were conducted using four specific types of treatment- Control (no mowing),

According to Stuart Chase in rich land poor land “grass is what counts, grass is what holds the earth together.” There were a lot of new farming inventions created in the 1930’s but with these came a price to pay. This was partly the cause of overplowing but this also damaged the grass and tore it apart. This eventually led to the stuff above the grass to break up and become loose. After everything breaking up the wind would catch it and cause a dust storm just like the overplowing caused dust storms.

On September 21st, Christine Brennan reported Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand while the national anthem was being played in National Public Radio’s (NPR) online portal (www.npr.org). All through the National Football League 's preseason matches, Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, refused to stand for the national anthem. He clarified that he took this stance to point out what he sees as wrongdoings against African-Americans and different minorities, especially with regards to certain atrocities in police activities. Kaepernick has stated he is showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which was sparked by a number of police killing innocent black people. When addressed by journalists after the first occasion when he did not stand for the national anthem, Kaepernick stated that, “he would not show respect or pride in a flag for a country that continues to oppress African Americans and people of color.” He added that this was much bigger than any game and that it would be selfish on his part to look away. He also claims that there were bodies lying on the streets and people were getting away with murder. I don’t think Brennan understands why he chose not to stand fully. I think this also could have led to more attacks from other writers and reporters that have been inform of his true reasoning. I do not think he was disrespecting the flag or people that fight for it, but just making a stance to get

Recently, the use of lawn pesticides and chemicals has grown enormously with home owners and golf course management in hope of attaining "the perfect turf." However, the negative effects that are associated with attaining ones "dream turf" is primarily caused by the direct use of pesticides and chemicals. The chemical pesticide industry fails to address these issues and has made every effort to keep this information from the public.

Both authors explains “The erosion control effectiveness of turfgrass is the combined result of a high shoot density and root mass for surface soil stabilization, plus a high biomass matrix that provides resistance to lateral surface water flow, thus slowing otherwise potentially erosive water velocities. Therefore, perennial turfgrasses offer one of the most cost-efficient methods to control water and wind erosion of soil. Such control is very important in eliminating dust and mud problems around homes, factories, schools, and

Before the drastic events of the dust bowl, white settlers, lured in by extremely inexpensive land, arrived to have lives as farmers. However, to obtain this land Native Americans were forced off of their own land, leaving millions of acres with thick prairie grass. This seemingly indestructible grass could survive lightning strikes, harsh winters, blazing summers, and the most anhydrous droughts. Sadly, when the settlers arrived, the destruction and removal of the grass from the vast plains began. To accomplish such a feat, farmers used axes, sharp blade plows, and some farmers even used their bare hands. In only two decades, millions of acres of prairie grass was completely obliterated, just for wheat to replace it. Thankfully for the farmers, the wheat was fruitful, for plentiful rain ensued the planting of the wheat. At this time, humans destroyed the prairie grass.

Washington’s coach, Tom Brown, states, “It makes us look even quicker. The turf gives you a lot more traction, and some of our kids fly”.

Finally, according to easyturf.com, they say that “Turf eliminates yellow and brown grass stains found in organic soil, it provides a clean backyard, keeps the house free of tracked in dirt and mud, and reduces water use by lawns up to 70%”. In my thinking, installing turf in fields is way better than getting dirty, regular

Turf is the conventional surface—which most South African football fields employ—but dirt tracks are also sought-after locations. Synthetic surfaces are used at a number of race courses as well, particularly in the UK, which is also known as all-weather tracks.

The landscape of your educational institution’s grounds is an integral part of everyday life on campus.Your students shelter in the shadow of its trees. The shrubbery and hedges border the confines of the lawns and sidewalks where they will think the thoughts, compose ideas, and create the memories that last a lifetime.
