Inside the current issue
Summer 2010/2011 Turfgrass is a positive sequester of carbon Its official! Turf tested positive as a carbon sequester in three different studies. One study found turf sequestrates between four to seven times as much carbon as a modern mower discharges. The others were less clear on amounts, but all three studies show turf could be one of the biggest crops when it comes to sequestrating carbon, based on the sheer volume of land under turf cultivation. This is great news for golf courses and other sporting facilities. The days of turf professionals cowering to environmentalists over negative press must cease. It is time we fight back with science on our side.

Silent Running Up until recently the phrase "environmentally friendly" translated in most greenkeepers' minds to "costs more and doesn't work as well". As with many technologies today, this is no longer entirely the case.
Experienced hands If there is anything to worry about in the world of greeenskeeping, it’s that the younger people coming into the trade might not get the chance to experience the kind of learning curve Brett Long has enjoyed.
