The Lush Green Revolution: Exploring the World of Turf

In the realm of landscaping and outdoor aesthetics, turf stands as an emblem of verdant beauty. Its lush green carpeting transforms mundane spaces into vibrant sanctuaries of relaxation and leisure. From sprawling lawns to compact backyard patches, messiturf has become a cornerstone of modern landscaping. This article delves into the diverse facets of turf, its installation, maintenance, ecological impact, and emerging trends, offering a comprehensive guide to enthusiasts and novices alike.

Understanding Turf: A Brief Overview

Turf, also known as sod or grass, refers to the layer of soil with grass and its roots, typically used for lawns, sports fields, golf courses, and landscaping. It provides an instant lawn solution, offering an immediate green cover without the hassle of waiting for seeds to germinate and grow.

Types of Turf

Warm-Season Turf: Varieties such as Bermuda grass and Zoysia grass thrive in warmer climates, offering excellent durability and drought resistance. They flourish in regions with hot summers and mild winters, making them popular choices for Southern landscapes.

Cool-Season Turf: Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescue, and Ryegrass are examples of cool-season turf varieties. These grasses prefer moderate temperatures and are well-suited to regions with cold winters and mild summers, such as the northern United States and parts of Europe.

Artificial Turf: With advancements in technology, artificial turf has gained popularity as a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass. Made from synthetic fibers, artificial turf resembles real grass but requires minimal watering and upkeep, making it ideal for sports fields and high-traffic areas.

Installing Turf: Step-by-Step Guide

Site Preparation: Begin by clearing the area of any existing vegetation, rocks, and debris. Grade the soil to ensure proper drainage and smooth the surface for uniform turf installation.

Soil Testing and Amendment: Conduct a soil test to assess pH levels and nutrient deficiencies. Amend the soil as necessary by adding compost, lime, or fertilizer to create an optimal growing environment for the turf.

Turf Selection: Choose the appropriate type of turf based on climate, sunlight exposure, and intended use. Consider factors such as shade tolerance, wear resistance, and maintenance requirements when selecting the turf variety.

Laying the Turf: Start laying the turf along a straight edge, such as a sidewalk or driveway, to ensure a neat and uniform appearance. Stagger the seams between turf rolls and avoid stretching or overlapping the pieces.

Watering and Rolling: After installation, water the turf thoroughly to promote root establishment. Use a lawn roller to press the turf firmly onto the soil surface, eliminating air pockets and ensuring good soil contact.

Post-Installation Care: Keep the turf well-watered during the establishment period, typically the first 2-3 weeks after installation. Avoid heavy foot traffic and mowing until the turf has rooted firmly into the soil....see more.

Maintaining Turf: Best Practices

Regular Mowing: Maintain the optimal mowing height for your turf variety to promote healthy growth and discourage weeds. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time to prevent stress and scalping.

Watering: Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth and drought tolerance. Early morning watering is recommended to minimize evaporation and fungal diseases.

Fertilization: Apply fertilizer according to soil test recommendations and turf nutrient requirements. Use slow-release fertilizers to provide a steady supply of nutrients over time, promoting steady growth and vibrant green color.

Weed Control: Monitor the turf regularly for weeds and apply herbicides as needed. Use selective herbicides to target specific weed species while minimizing harm to the turfgrass.

Aeration: Periodic core aeration helps alleviate soil compaction, improve root growth, and enhance nutrient uptake. Core aerators remove small plugs of soil from the lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeply into the root zone.

Pest and Disease Management: Keep an eye out for signs of pest infestations and turf diseases, such as brown patches or yellowing grass. Implement integrated pest management strategies, including cultural, biological, and chemical controls, to minimize damage and preserve turf health.

Environmental Impact of Turf

While turf offers numerous aesthetic and functional benefits, its cultivation and maintenance can have environmental implications. Some key considerations include:

Water Usage: Maintaining lush green turf often requires significant water inputs, especially in arid or drought-prone regions. To conserve water, consider using drought-tolerant turf varieties and implementing water-efficient irrigation practices.

Chemical Usage: The use of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides in turf maintenance can contribute to water pollution and harm non-target organisms. Opt for organic or slow-release fertilizers and minimize chemical inputs whenever possible to reduce environmental impact.

Biodiversity: Monoculture turf landscapes offer limited ecological value compared to diverse native plant communities. Incorporating native grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs into turf areas can enhance biodiversity and provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife.

Soil Health: Intensive turf management practices, such as frequent mowing and heavy foot traffic, can degrade soil structure and deplete soil nutrients over time. Implement soil conservation techniques, such as compost applications and reduced tillage, to promote soil health and fertility.

Emerging Trends in Turf Management

Drought-Resistant Turf Varieties: With growing concerns about water scarcity, breeders are developing turfgrass varieties with enhanced drought tolerance and water efficiency, reducing the need for irrigation in water-stressed regions.

Low-Input Turf Management: Landscapers and homeowners are embracing low-input turf management strategies, such as organic fertilization, minimal mowing, and natural pest control, to reduce environmental impact and maintenance costs.

Smart Irrigation Systems: Automated irrigation systems equipped with soil moisture sensors and weather-based controllers are gaining popularity, allowing for precise water delivery based on real-time environmental conditions, thus optimizing water use and promoting turf health.

Pollinator-Friendly Landscapes: Incorporating pollinator-friendly plants and wildflower meadows into turf areas supports declining pollinator populations and enhances ecological diversity, creating vibrant and sustainable landscapes.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving world of landscaping, turf remains a timeless icon of natural beauty and recreational enjoyment. Whether adorning residential lawns, athletic fields, or public parks, turfgrass enriches our lives in myriad ways.

By understanding the nuances of turf selection, installation, and maintenance, we can cultivate vibrant green spaces that enhance both our well-being and the environment. As we embrace emerging trends in turf management and stewardship, we pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future—one blade of grass at a time.

The Magne Estate

Hell is comprised of seven rings dedicated to the seven deadly carnal sins. The rings are that of the sins of pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and slothfulness.

But these rings weren’t predetermined sections people who committed those same sins in life would end up living within after their death, it is simply where they all collectively ended up due to being drawn to each other and building up their own communities, and there is much overlap between them. Pride demons can visit and live in the greed section of Hell, and vice versa.

These seven rings make up the seven distinct communities within Hell’s Pentagram City, the home of almost every mortal sinning soul in that dimension. Then, there is the native ring and the royal ring. The native ring surrounds the outside of Pentagram City and is home to all of imp kind. Or, at least, all the imps that aren’t owned by other demons elsewhere in Pentagram City.

As for the royal ring, that is where all of the Hellish Royalty reside to some extent, and it has the whole of Pentagram City surrounding it. To go any deeper all of Hell must pass through the royal ring, but not many are allowed through there by those who keep guard of the gates that separate the royal ring from the seven sinful rings. But even still, the royal ring isn’t the center.

Instead, the center of Hell is one large space of land no bigger than Switzerland is, and it has a large wall to separate it from the rest of Hell proper.

This stretch of land is known as the Magne Estate, and as the name suggests, it is the home of the ruling family of Hell. The Magnes. But, they aren’t the only ones who live within the near skyscraper in height black walls that surround the very edges of the Magne Estate, as an entire village stretches out across the fields of grey grass and trees with white leaves.

This city is populated by the thousands of imp families that are Lucifer and Lilith Magne’s slaves, albeit if only because their ancestors were conquered and enslaved by Lucifer.

This city, known as Devil’s Quarter, looks as though it were directly lifted out of the 1910s of the United States of America and wouldn’t look dissimilar to that of Main Street U.S.A. Walt Disneyworld, especially since the massive black, grey, and white Magne Castle looms over the city from every direction due to it being at the dead center of the Magne Estate and Devil’s Quarter having risen up around the castle over the centuries.

Considering how the Magne Estate looks and the fact she grew up there, it comes as no surprise Charlie is quite similar to Disney’s various princesses.

The Magne Castle, massive and very gothic in architecture in look, sits there directly on top of where Lucifer crashed into the surface of Hell. As such, the hole in the cavernous roof that covers all of Hell in every possible direction that Lucifer made when he was cast down from Heaven, looms directly over the castle and the rest of the Magne Estate, allowing everyone there a clear and horribly perfect view of Heaven in the sky.

Being bathed in Heavenly light is what bleached and discolored the natural landscape of Hell that the Magne Estate now holds complete claim over.

As stated before, grey grass, black dirt, tress with white leaves, and dark grey trunks naturally grow within the walls of the Magne Estate, the only color present in this stretch of land being the ones that were added artificially by Devil’s Quarter’s citizens to color their homes and places of business.

But Magne Castle is not colored, it has been left to match the colors that surround it naturally, as at the time the Heavenly light had yet to discolor the land and it would stand out as different amongst the red colors of Hell that once sat there.

There is much to talk about for the Magne Castle and Devil’s Quarter, but this post here is all about the Magne Estate, and I’ve fully explained the Magne Estate as much as I think is needed right now. So we’ll get into Magne Castle and Devil’s Quarter sometime later.

For right now, I hope you guys have enjoyed this post! I very much enjoyed writing this whole thing up.

Some responses to Earthworm Discourse:

g u e s s    a g a i n

Honestly, though, I still rescue earthworms from sidewalks and have since I was a child in our little informal, weird-girl, after-school bug-club, as I’m sure many of us did and still do. All life has value. (Still feeling confused about the ethical/ecological implications of rescuing non-native worms. When so many United States cities present as sanitized, sterilized, anonymous concrete-asphalt landscapes - covered in manicured non-native grass lawns - are the already-firmly-entrenched non-native earthworms causing much more damage in residential lawns if you save a few, so long as you avoid introducing them to intact ecological sites outside city limits? No pun intended, but that discourse is a whole other can of worms. Discussion for another time.) So I’ve seen some disparaging remarks made about the Moral Character of non-native earthworms, so obligatory statement: Earthworms of course are not villains or actively malevolent. Colonization; Indigenous dispossession; empire; profit-oriented thinking; industrial monoculture; large-scale geoengineering over years to reshape the entirety of the Turtle Island and Latin American landscapes as if they were “bountiful” European farms populated by “familiar and comforting” European species, etc. -  earthworms are a physical manifestation of those issues.

-----

[Spokesman Review - 20 November 1999. Andrea Vogt, staff writer.]

Two of the largest and most iconic native earthworms on the continent are actually found west of the Rockies. Shout-out to [a commenter] for explicitly name-dropping the beautiful and alluring Palouse giant earthworm (Driloleirus americanus), a rare and elusive species, one of the earthworm species actually native west of the Rockies (from the Washington-Idaho border in the Inland Northwest). [More on the worm.] It lives in the Palouse Hills; in the nearby Nez Perce Prairie and Lower Clearwater canyon system; and in some sites in Washington’s East Cascades ecoregion. Much of the Palouse has been converted to agriculture, damaging the soil, and the worm was apparently missing for decades until recent encounters confirmed that it’s still alive. The Palouse giant earthworm and the endangered Oregon giant earthworm (Driloleirus macelfreshi) - from prairie-oak woodland of Willamette Valley - are both contenders for the title of “largest native earthworm in North America.”

Excellent info:

Nice to hear some info on boreal environments, thank you @theeclectickoalastudent - This is also how tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavoritum) - native in North America east of the Great Basin - were artificially introduced to Mediterranean California: People were importing salamander larvae as fishing bait. (Pretty brutal to begin with, if you ask me.) And now the iconic, unique California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) - endemic only to California and which was already endangered - is forced to directly compete to reclaim its own oak woodland and chaparral habitat from its introduced relative. And we can’t let United States “conservation” and land management agencies and institutions off the hook for the obscene and mind-boggling scale of damage they’ve historically done stocking non-native sport fish species in watersheds of the American West, followed by the stocking of non-native crustaceans to feed the fish. (Speaking of non-native species threatening salamanders, I was [just] hyperfixating the other day on how the Mazama newt - endemic only to Crater Lake, Oregon - may soon be driven extinct by the voracious introduced crayfish species Pacifastacus leniusculus.)

-----

Important disclaimer, by the way: I also wanted to clarify something, so I’m reposting some text I recently shared. Regarding the worm post, I wanted to say: [I know some people who have shared “unleash earthworms” posts clearly did so because: fun; irony; joke; etc. (And, yea, I really like imagining invertebrates/writhing creatures as emblems of resistance/anti-imperialism: “We’re worms, we’ve been stepped on for years, we persist! And our reward for submitting to the decay of the soil is to be engulfed in the loving embrace of one million mycorrhyzal fungal tendrils; by submerging ourselves into the soil we are really a s c e n d i n g.”) I was not vauge-posting about y’all. Like I said previously, I think peoples’ hearts are in the right place and I generally like people I meet here in anti-imperialist/ecology-oriented circles. I think that the originators of the most recent iterations of those posts were clearly being playful. My green tea-fueled ranting about Problematic Worm Etiquette is mostly due to: (1) sometimes I get Like That, (2) I’ll concoct any excuse to talk about Great Lakes regional ecology, and (3) I know some - not all - people were taking “release worms!” advice seriously, so figured it be nice to be explicit.]

On that note, regarding earthworm introduction as a means to improve your own access to food (via garden) or food (via using them as fishing bait): I did definitely see some people being serious about this, so it’s worth noting the irony of a well-meaning action which nevertheless deliberately introduces European species, erasing/degrading native ecology, and also resulting in the destruction of Indigenous foodsheds. Reshaping the Earth, remolding the continent, and promoting the physical/literal invasion of a European species in the hopes of making the land more “fruitful” and “bountiful”? In my US and/or Canada? Just as likely as you think.

Really important stuff right here:

Sugar maple is important.

I talk too much, but @big-edies-sun-hat said it more tastefully:

--

@nonsensikelly - Thank you for the info. (And yea, earthworms are well-entrenched in temperate North America.)

-----

I really am not a good person to ask. (Though I’d identify some blatantly obvious solutions - Indigenous autonomy and land management; the dismantling of industrial monoculture crop extraction and associated industry; etc.) I’m not a soil scientist, botanist, entomologist, or technical ecologist/biologist (more into environmental geography/history). However, I had your comment in mind when I wrote [this post] about loss of forest understory and savannafication in the Midwest, addressing why it is that so much earthworm research comes from schools/institutions in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ontario, due partially to the critical ecological importance of the northern central hardwoods forests as a frontline against worm expansion into boreal environments.

@mi-el-lat​ I know @cedar-glade already responded to you and it’s worth reposting:

also from cedar-glade, but formatted so the link is clickable:

you can get idea about how gray the knowledge of both invasive earthworms and the effects of potentially invasive predators are from many articles out now a days trying to figure out ecological dynamics of earthworms in any shape or form. https://www.inhs.illinois.edu/resources/inhsreports/may-jun00/worm/ 

Since a lot of invasive earthworm research and dialogue focuses on the Great Lakes region, we’re in luck because Tumblr might have a resident expert so to speak, since I’m pretty sure @starfoozle specializes in Great Lakes-region invasive species. Regarding “What Can Be Done” to rally community effort, for someone with experience in Midwest landscapes specifically involving citizen science and community engagement with ecology, shout-out to @glumshoe.

And if you’ve got questions about botany, soil, and plant ecology generally, these people are much better scientists than me. They know exactly what they’re talking about and I cannot recommend them highly enough: @spatheandspadix / @botanyshitposts / cedarglade, again ... all of whomst also have firsthand experience with plants and ecosystems of the Midwest and Great Lakes.

Sorry for the long post!

purple.

Own Knowledge:

Purple is a secondary colour as it is a result of mixing the primary colours blue and red. 

I have a personal connection to the colour purple because I have a vitamin deficiency which causes bruising on my legs excessively. 

I currently have over 30 bruises on my legs. 

An influential novel in my adolescence is The Color Purple by Alice Walker. 

I was raised by a Catholic mother and observed in the masses that the priest’s robes worn during the Advent and Lent seasons, purple reflects sorrow and suffering.

The colour also came to symbolise wealth, power and royalty because in antiquity purple dye was very expensive.

Depending on your spiritual beliefs you make think the next sentence is phoney. A ‘spirit guide’ once observed that my aura was lilac (a purple tint). 

My birthstone is an amethyst which is a precious stone consisting of a violet or purple variety of quartz.

When I was growing up I had a really big lavender bush that my family used for restlessness, insomnia, headache and pain as well as for  flavour in food. 

Purple ink dissolved in water was hosed onto protesters, during apartheid, to locate them once the crowds dispersed.  In the English language, the word "purple" has only one perfect rhyme, curple.

Purple Idioms:

Purple prose – writing that is more complicated and formal than necessary.

Born to the purple – Someone who is born to the purple is born in a royal or aristocratic family.

Purple State - In U.S. general elections, a state that votes in roughly equal proportion for candidates of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Primarily heard in US.

Purple Patch - A section of writing that is showy and extravagant and often stands out in contrast to the rest of the writing in a piece.

Purple Kush - a strain of marijuana

Shrinking violet - A negative term for a very shy person. Purple squirrel - a term used by employment recruiters to describe a job candidate with precisely the right education, experience, and qualifications that perfectly fits a job’s multifaceted requirements. The assumption is that the perfect candidate is as rare as a real-life purple squirrel.

Purple in Nature:

Book Recommendations:

“In the colour spectrum this linear sweep of colour is bent and joined at the ends so that the shortest and the longest wavelengths overlap and form purple.” (The Luminous and the Grey by David Batchelor) “Purple gives way to blue. The blue gives way to purple.”   “A mere two days after his arrival in New Guinea in 1914 he could write in his diary: ‘Felt not too distinctly or strongly but surely that a bond was growing up between myself and this landscape . . . the purple glow in the west penetrated the palm grove and covered the scorched grass with its blaze, slithering over the dark sapphire waters.’” “... amid the turquoise vegetation, you see rich purple stones overgrown with weeds.” “Fires had been started in a few places. Marvellous spectacle. Red, sometimes purple flames had crawled up the hillside in narrow ribbons; through the dark blue or sapphire smoke the hillside changes colour like a black opal under the glint of its polished surface.” “...while indigo, so hugely important a commodity for some two thousand years, this blue that is also black and purple, became the colour that supplanted colour when, beginning in the fourteenth century, the aristocracy (male and female) used indigo to have their clothes dyed deep black in a widespread process of European discoloration in both Catholic and Protestant countries.” “ The beauty of old Indian ‘painted calicoes’ lies first of all in their colour, which is the first thing to strike the eye. Lovely rich tones of rose, from full crimson to delicate shell pink, purple fading to palest lilac... “ (What Color Is the Sacred? by Michael Taussig) “‘Purple’ is defined in the new Oxford Dictionary as ‘a colour intermediate between red and blue’. Blue is defined as ‘a colour intermediate between green and violet’ and violet is ‘a bluish-purple colour’.” “alpenglow - The purple gleam on alpine snow” “amaranth -The reddish-purple or deep crimson colour of the leaves of the Amarantus. The words amarantin, amarantine and amaranthine, signifying ‘fadeless’, ‘immortal’ or ‘unwithering’, refer to Pliny’s imaginary and never fading amaranth flower. Also a purple food additive (E123). “   “amethyst- Violet-purple or purplish-blue (particularly in heraldry); from the Greek meaning ‘preventing intoxication’ a characteristic once ascribed to the stone of the same name.“

“anthocyanin(e) or anthocyan - A group of pigments providing a large range of colours in flowers, plants and fruits including blues, purples, violets, maroons, reds and pinks – producing red when acid; blue when alkaline and violet when neutral.

History of Purple:

As civilisations developed, so did clothing and coloured dyes. The earliest purple dyes date back to about 1900 B.C It took 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of the pure dye - which was hardly enough for dying a single item of clothing the size of the Roman toga. It’s a no-brainer, that this colour was used primarily for garments privileged individuals. Over the course of history, purple pigments and dyes became less costly and complex, but one thing has remained the same: Purple symbolises nobility and luxury to most people in the world.

Bases on surveys in Europe and North America, purple is the colour most often associated with rarity, royalty, magic, mystery, and piety. When combined with pink, it is associated with eroticism, femininity, and seduction.

Symbol of the Feminist movement (Second Wave) in the United States (1970s). The purple colour was chosen as a tribute to the Suffragette movement a half-century earlier (First Wave). In the West, purple is the colour most associated with vanity, extravagance, and individualism. Among the seven major sins, it represents vanity. It is a colour which is used to attract attention. Purple is the colour most often associated with the artificial and the unconventional. It is the major colour that occurs the least frequently in nature, and was the first colour to be synthesised. Purple is sometimes associated with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. It is the symbolic colour worn on Spirit Day, a commemoration that began in 2010 to show support for young people who are bullied because of their sexual orientation. Purple is closely associated with bisexuality, largely in part to the bisexual pride flag which combines pink – representing homosexuality – and blue – representing heterosexuality – to create the bisexual purple. 

Purple in Art:

Henri Matisse, Les toits de Collioure (1905). Henri Matisse and the other painters of the Fauvist movement were the first to make a major use of magenta to surprise and make an impact on the emotions of the viewer.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a Magenta coloured banknote of ₹2000 denomination on 8 November 2016 under Mahatma Gandhi New Series. This is the highest currency note printed by RBI that is in active circulation in India.

“Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast.”

By ED TRAVIS

Matt Corey, Chief Marketing Officer for PGA TOUR Superstore, leans forward to make his point, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

In other words, all the grand plans in the world won’t work unless the company’s people are committed and feel part of the them.

It sounds simple however that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The proof is in the doing…and PGATSS is doing in spades.

The golf merchandising landscape is littered with failed ventures that attempted to sell to consumers conditioned with “gimme a deal” mentality fostered by Internet sellers and marginal brick and mortar operators whose primary strategy was continuous discounting in the hopes of producing sales.

So why is the privately-owned PGA TOUR Superstore succeeding?

In a wide-ranging interview Corey emphasized the answer for them is being able to engage a customer’s emotions, desires and wants as well as needs. He talked about the essentials beginning with ensuring store employees interact positively with customers. This goes beyond simply having a company policy to greet visitors walking in the door and speaks directly about employee training and even more importantly to the attitude they bring to the job.

“They go out of their way to say yes,” Corey said with a slight smile that didn’t mask the intensity of a mantra reflecting the culture of the entire organization. Making visitors into customers and customers into advocates is all about the employee/customer interaction plus the facility itself.

Each location is designed for customer involvement and it starts with the huge putting green just inside the front door that’s ideal for testing out any of the hundred or so putters lining the perimeter. Down one side of the store are hitting bays with golf holes projected on a screen and launch monitors making it easy for golfers to try the latest driver or irons. Trained club fitters and PGA Professionals for swing improvement are on hand or the bays can simply be a practice range when the weather outside is frightful.

Corey used almost the exact words as President and CEO Dick Sullivan did in an earlier interview to point out a basic philosophy that sets them apart and produces a massive advantage over other retailers saying, “This is a relationship business not a transaction business.”

Though perhaps not the most profound description for the almost startling success for the Roswell, Georgia based company, it is dead-on particularly when applied consistently and enthusiastically day to day.

Corey explained the three keys to success in what can be for consumers a bewildering marketplace with choices running the gamut from green grass to big box retailers to small shops and then of course there’s the elephant in the room, the Internet. His list starts with offering a complete depth and breadth of service, something impossible for Internet sellers and very difficult for small shops. Next is engaging customers in the process which includes having fun testing equipment using the hi-tech systems capped off with employing passionate people not on sales commission.

Corey joined PGATSS in 2013 and currently responsible for marketing and the e-commerce business plus he manages the company’s partnership with the PGA TOUR, the Golf Channel, multiple corporate sponsors and the Drive, Chip and Putt program. He earned an MBA from Georgia Tech and before joining PGATSS was Chief Marketing Officer for Golfsmith.

A good example of management’s “outside the box” thinking was their booth on the floor of the PGA Merchandise Show in January manned with company executives looking for candidates to fill slots as teaching professionals, in sales and in event marketing. The results were exceptional with approximately 50 qualified candidates.

Asked about this ongoing concern to find, hire and retain the right people Corey says a presence at the PGA Merchandise Show was more than appropriate, so to speak fishing where the fish are. It also gave the company the opportunity to support and expand relationships with Show-sponsor PGA of America and the LPGA plus the various university golf management programs.

This recruiting effort is not to be thought of as some “major strategic initiative,” to use the current buzz words, but simply an example of the kind of thinking that puts PGATSS in its unique position.

Owned by Arthur Blank, co-founder of Home Depot and owner of the NFL Atlanta Falcons and MLS Atlanta United, they presently have 36 locations in 16 states and plans for 50 by the end of next year. In 2018 they had 7.5 million customers and it is evident the company works hard to make each store a place where families are welcome--play on the simulators, use the hitting bays and putt on the artificial green.

Especially impressive are the array of lessons for women (individual, group, Get Golf Ready) and for juniors (individual, U.S. Kids Junior, LPGA Girls Golf) not to mention free Saturday morning clinics open to all skill levels.

PGATSS also puts time and effort into development of employees and consider it an investment in the company’s future not just another business expense. A large part of that development is having detailed knowledge of the products being sold so in January 160 staff members met at Streamsong golf resort with equipment company representatives for the latest information on the 2019 lines of clubs and balls.

A multimillion-dollar investment was also made last year to improve the company web site and mobile portal acknowledging the pervasive use of smartphones with the goal of making the online experience especially checkout to reflect what customers experience in the stores. Corey described them as the best in the industry.

Five more stores are scheduled in 2019 and management is aggressively investing in store growth though Corey was quick to point out many times the location of a new store is predicated on the real estate. The numbers have to work from the start and entering a particular “good golf market” may hinge on the cost of the real estate. New locations this year will include Sarasota and North Miami in Fla., Denver, Austin and a second store in Boston.

Measured in sales numbers their approach is working. In 2018 sales grew by 14 percent with strong increases in same-store volume plus double-digit growth in e-commerce. The good news was shared across all departments with clubs, men’s apparel and golf footwear leading the way.

But make no mistake. The essence of the PGATSS success is the culture or as Corey put it, “A culture with the spirit of wanting to help our customers play better.”

How to Have a Lush Yard Without Using Too Much Water

By Sarah Fowler | September 20, 2021 | The Washington Post

Plants native to the Southeastern United States are seen at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Bridgewater garden in Manchester, England. (Felder Rushing)

If you love the aesthetic of a full, brightly colored lawn but are worried about water consumption or live in a drought-prone area, conscientious planting and a few simple steps can help create a luscious look without water waste.

Across the United States, native plants have become an increasingly popular landscaping option, particularly in drier areas. Although they can grow beautifully without a lot of maintenance in the right areas, climate and soil nutrients affect their growth, so native plants aren’t a one-size-fits-all option, even within one state.

“Depending on where you are — on the Gulf Coast, in Maryland, California, wherever you are — native becomes something different just over a couple of hundred miles,” says world-renowned master gardener and author Felder Rushing. For example, Texas bluebonnets are native to the state but don’t typically bloom in Houston, Rushing says, because that area gets too much rainfall. But travel 50 miles north, and bluebonnets abound.

Native Isn't Always Best

You don’t need to be tied to the idea that you can only use native plants. If the climate is suitable, native plants don’t always have to stay where they originated to thrive, Rushing says. Instead of calling them native, the famed horticulturist refers to those as “locally adapted plants.”

Rushing recommends native plants from Africa for growing in hot, dry climates, for example. “Okra is a vegetable that will grow with no care at all,” he says. “Rather than choosing native plants, look at the plants that do well . . . and use those as your backbone plants.”

Rushing recently visited the Royal Horticultural Society’s Bridgewater garden in Manchester, England. Eighty percent of the plants in its larger displays were native to the Southeastern United States, he says.

“They’re using them because they work well and they have extra benefits,” he says. “It’s like growing a plant because it’s an heirloom. We don’t grow plants because they’re heirlooms; we grow plants because it worked well long enough that they become heirlooms. ‘Native’ and ‘heirloom’ are artificial construct words. We’re looking for good, durable plants that just happen to have a history of doing well.”

Use Local Grass, and Water With Care

In the Western United States, where irrigation is the norm, native grass will perform better, says master gardener Mike Hauser, who works with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension.

Specific to Arizona, galleta, sand dropseed, Indian rice grass and grama grass are better for growing during a drought than fescue, rye and Kentucky bluegrass, Hauser says. In addition to what type of grass you choose, water conservation can come from learning how often your lawn needs to be watered.

“People too often just put their sprinkler timer on and let it go,” he says. “The question is: How do you know when the plant needs water?” Because many people don’t have a soil probe lying around, Hauser recommends taking a long-shafted screwdriver and sticking it in the soil. If the screwdriver slides in “like a hot knife in butter,” the soil is still holding moisture and doesn’t need to be watered. When the screwdriver shaft doesn’t go farther than an inch before hitting dry soil, it’s time to water.

“That’s the key,” he says. “When you water and how much you water is only half of the equation. The other half of the equation that people very, very seldom engage in is: How much water is my plant using, so that I know when to water it again?”

Hauser has found that people will give their lawns a quick watering in the morning and evening, but that can be a wasted effort that wets the soil’s surface and doesn’t get to the roots. With the screwdriver method, you’re watering less, but, he noted, “you’re giving it a good, deep soaking.”

Particularly in drier climates, the soil surface dries out first. So if you’re only watering the first half-inch of your lawn, the roots will be in the first half-inch. However, if you’re watering down five or six inches, that’s where the roots will be, and they’ll be safer from the dryness caused by dry climate damage.

If you’re watering with a sprinkler system, don’t forget to adjust your timer. Plants don’t need as much water when the weather cools off, but the typical homeowner doesn’t adjust that timer throughout the year, Hauser says. Doing so not only helps your lawn or your plants, but it also decreases your water consumption.

Forgo a Blanket of Grass

In northern Arizona, where Hauser lives, precipitation is between about 12 to 14 inches a year, with half of the rainfall in the winter and half in the summer months, so continuous ground cover isn’t common.

“If you’re using city water, it’s fairly expensive. . . . Most all of the ground cover that people have here is a little bit of a lawn in their front yard or their backyard; there’s not a lot of landscaping for ground cover.”

Some homeowners have chosen to forgo grass entirely, he says, leaving exposed soil or choosing to landscape with shrubby or decorative rocks.

Speaking at an event in West Texas recently, Rushing recommended that people put one sprinkler in the middle of their yard. Then, wherever the water hits, “that’s all the lawn you need,” he said. “You can have a lot of beauty in a lawn that’s not much bigger than a carport if it’s surrounded by whatever naturally covers the ground in the countryside, which could be gravel or sand, native plants. Limit the size of the lawn, and make it where it’s a shining gem, and then accessorize it with plants that do well in that area.”

Planting How-to

Here are tips on creating a garden or lawn that looks great but doesn’t require a lot of water. And don’t forget: You can also contact your local extension office. It’s a great resource, usually with a free list of locally well-adapted plants.

Don’t Look to Your Neighbors For Guidance. Get out of the suburbs. Rushing recommends driving around your area and finding old farmhouses or visiting cemeteries. If a plant grows in a cemetery, it will grow anywhere, he says. By “looking outside of suburbia,” you can find trees, shrubs and flowers that grow well with little to no care.

“Don’t look in the suburbs for ideas, because suburbs have a lot of irrigation,” Rushing says. “See what’s doing well in gardens that don’t have irrigation systems.”

In cemeteries, you’ll often find a tree, two or three shrubs, and four of five perennials scattered throughout. Pull those together in one spot in your yard, grouping similar shapes and sizes close to each other, and “it looks like you know what you’re doing,” Rushing says.

He adds: “It’s like a bouquet. It’s like Rumpelstiltskin, weaving golden garments out of common straw.”

Less Is More. Groups and combinations of accent plants can go a long way.

“Don’t feel like you have to have wall-to-wall plants,” Rushing says. “You don’t have to have a green mustache of worms hugging your foundation. A few accent plants here and there create a focal point without you having to do unnecessary water or pruning or fertilizing. You don’t have to have all of those plants that Grandmama put around her house.”

Rushing adds that having plants all around the base of your home is a style from the 1930s and doesn’t work in hot, dry climates.

If you’re just starting out, Rushing has this advice: “Think home cooking. Anybody can make a home-cooked meal, but we start out thinking it’s got to look like something a chef made. Think home cooking and not fine dining, and you can do it.”

“Beasts choose these presidents freely?” The Sir’s eyes narrowed. “They attempt to do something that approximates fairness?”

Sir Sleepy of the Bunny Nest (A Novel of the Revolution) Book One: Conquest Chapter 18

“A number of the best views of Washington can be found on the George Washington Parkway,” Leo said to Lucky Blue across the front seat of the car. They’d been driving for a while. Outside the car, the night was deeply dark. “You know how to get there?”

“Sure do.” Lucky was still sitting on the Beast’s right shoulder and keeping its Fleshy Piedmonts firmly on the wheel. “I’ve taken in those views several times. We’ll pick up the Beltway and then be around to it. Not too much longer now.”

“George Washington?” Sir Sleepy of the Bunny Nest looked up from his low spot on the seat between Leo and the Beast, which was staring passively at the landscape while Lucky guided its driving. It seemed calmed by movement.

“A famous Beast leader,” Leo said. “He was the first of what is called the President of the United States.”

“How does one get to be a president?”

Leo’s beard fluffed out happily at the question. “Over the history of what Beasts call the United States, Beasts have divided themselves into different political groups. Each group picks the Beast they’d like to be president. Then the Beasts chosen by the various groups are judged together in a thing called an election.”

The Sir looked at Leo curiously. “An election?”

“The general idea is that the Beast chosen by the largest number of Beasts becomes president, but it doesn’t really happen that way. Beasts split themselves into artificial geographic regions called states. Within each state there can be only one Beast winner, and each state has a different number value assigned to it, based on its population, and,” Leo frowned, “well, I’m not sure it’s worth going through all the details. Let’s just say that ultimately, after many complications, one Beast wins.”

“Beasts choose these presidents freely?” The Sir’s eyes narrowed. “They attempt to do something that approximates fairness? I have to say I doubt it.”

“No no no.” Leo shook his head vehemently, his big bunny beard flying around and catching the headlights of a passing Beast vehicle. “There’s no fairness. Only powerful Beasts are eligible to be president. Then Beasts manipulate each other frantically until a final decision is made. As with all Beastly things, what they tell themselves an election is, and what it actually is, have little in common. The goal of an election is for Beasts to do something unfairly while claiming it’s fair.”

Unsurprised, the Sir shook his head. “A few key principles make clear everything about Beasts that a bunny needs to know, it seems.”

Leo nodded. “Maybe so. In theory, each individual adult Beast gets a vote, although in practice, many Beasts don’t vote or are prevented from voting. Each group that’s supporting a Beast tells as many lies as it can about the goodness of its own potential President Beast and about the evil of the other potential President Beasts. The group whose lies are most convincing to the largest proportion of Beast states has their potential president become president. It’s not always obvious which lie will flatter the largest percentage of Beasts at any given time.”

“What happens to the smaller Beast groups that do not win?”

“They become available for abuse. Although they often defend themselves well enough to fight another time. Of course, the most abused Beasts, in the election process and any other, are the neediest or sickest or most helpless Beasts, most of whom play little or no role in elections. A Beast that senses weakness in another Beast will tear it apart if it can.”

“Yes.” The Sir looked at the Beast on the seat next to him as it stared placidly at passing lights. “This Beast is helpless in the face of other Beasts, but it would be a mistake to let it loose around any weaker animal.”

“Of course even the Beast that wins an election becomes available for abuse,” Leo said, “since the losing Beasts immediately start a new round of lies in order to prepare for the next election.”

The rabbits lapsed into thought in the darkness of the Beast vehicle. The lights of other Beast vehicles continued flashing past them.

A while later, Lucky said, “Here’s George Washington Parkway. First rest stop with a good view of the city coming up shortly. We can probably park there, get out, and have at least a little sleep before morning, when we’ll be able to see the city.”

Soon Lucky pulled into the rest stop and parked the car. The rabbits jumped happily out of it. It was still night, although bits of lighter darkness hovered along the horizon. “How can Beasts stand being in those things so often?” the Sir asked.

“You get used to it,” Lucky said. “Still, of all Beast creations, Beast cars are maybe the most damaging. Kills Beasts in them, kills animals that get near them, kills the air, kills the land and water that needs the air. It’s not any one car that does it. But the sum total of all Beast cars all over the world is more deadly than any of their intentional weapons.”

“Story of Los Angeles,” Jack chimed in. “One, anyway.”

“I shall find some grass and brush to lie down in and get clean,” the Sir said. “I realize that we had to use the Beast car and will have to use it again. Still, there’s only so much that a bunny can stand.”

The Beast was whining, trying to stay in the car. Muffin was yanking at it.

“The Beast could get in a lot of trouble if another Beast found it sleeping in the car,” Lucky said. “Make it step out.”

“I kept its Beast ground cloth for situations like this,” Muffin said, “as well as several Beast blankets. It probably feels exposed outside, although it’s a feeling more than a fact.”

“We’ll find a way to keep it warm,” the Sir said. “We can’t tolerate misbehavior. Smack it, will you?”

“Sure.” With his long legs, Muffin gave the Beast several firm kicks, none that caused any pain. It stumbled out of the vehicle.
