Make Lawns Great Again
The problem with lawn care is simple, talking about water, mowers, gas, and fertilizers.

When it comes to grass soil has a big part of its growth if the soil is not collecting the right amount of nutrients in the grass will not grow. Soil isn’t the only problem with grass.

The average person doesn’t know that they can actually water a lawn wrong, the reason for that is improper knowledge of what they are doing. Because of this the grass can turn a light yellow color and possibly die from this problem. If caught soon enough the grass can recover well, but that is not the case for the plants alive around the grass affected by the water (Feehan). The plants around receiving too much water like bushes or unestablished trees will most likely die. Homeowners and uneducated lawn managers need to understand that the amount of water a lawn needs is more important than the amount of water the person has. If grasses and plants are not overwatered the life of both will be longer and …show more content…
Zac Reicher, Professor of Turf Grass Science, and Rodney St. John who is a PhD Agronomist say when looking for someone to take care of a lawn to make sure they have all the credentials. Failing to do this can be a fatal decision to the owner’s landscape. Some people are uneducated and will cause the problems stated above. Zac and Rodney believe that a lawn care specialist must idolize every aspect of education and certifications they can. This involves being able to spot problems and stop them in their tracks. This is a solution to where if people only hire the educated and qualified all of the people who are amateurs and doing things wrong will be weeded out and

...w can anybody think you are going to care about anything more important? A well-kept lawn can convey to a person that you do care, even about the little things. It can also reveal your attitude towards work. One of America’s earliest statesmen, Benjamin Franklin, once said that “It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.” This quote reveals another truth about work. The fact is that work does not necessarily have to be work. Mowing your lawn does not have to be a chore that needs to be done. It can be a great way to relax and get some exercise. It all depends on how you choose to view it.
The debate on artificial turf continues to rage on. Artificial turf has been structurally designed to be a safer surface than grass and to be unaffected by weather. Have engineers succeeded in their goal? It has been said that artificial turf has different properties than grass, and when forces act upon it, artificial turf reacts differently and causes more injuries. I have played the majority of my sports on artificial turf over the last couple years. I have always wondered if the artificial turf has any effect on injuries. Obviously I want to play on the safest surface possible. Is artificial turf that surface? This paper will answer the research question: In what ways does artificial turf affect player injuries?
Hi I'm Jackson Cates, and this summer my brother and I are looking to mow lawns in order to fund our trip with the Legacy band to Ireland. I'm going to be a senior the upcoming year while my brother is going to be a freshmen. I've also mowed other neighbor's lawns and it taught me an abundance of valuable skills and would like to learn even more while teaching my younger brother.
The concepts of self and reality are running themes in recent eras of poetry, and these themes are all too often associated with ideas of meaninglessness. In Larry Levis’s, “Some Grass Along a Ditch Bank” (1985), the writer brings in these different themes as the narrator contemplates grass around a farm and its relationship with the world around it. The poem is set in the farm setting that is so common in the works of Levis, and the ideas he explores about grass can easily be transferred to, or symbolic of, the ideas that the poet may have shared concerning relationships between people. Despite these connections and the deeper meaning of the poem, however, critics read this and other poems as having primarily nihilistic themes. This and other of his poems have been read as being, “bravely and madly about all-living-and-all-dying” (Halliday 92). Death and life are themes in Levis’s poem and do appear in this one, but nihilism requires that the artist also explores a general lack of meaning. Instead, reading this particular poem while considering its relation to the self and relationships, demonstrates that Levis’s focus is more on the general concept of the isolate, meaning that he writes about the lack of the individual’s ability to come to establish understanding between people, rather than a complete lack of meaning in life.

Turfgrass is any kind of grass that can form a ground cover and can be mowed at a reasonably low height (Christians, 2004).The benefits of turfgrass is to lower surface temperature, prevent soil erosion and enhance beauty and aesthetic value of a piece of land either for lawn purpose or for athletics. The main purpose of using turfgrass is to stabilize soil and to add to the aesthetic value of the landscape.(Duble, 1996). Turfgrass is used as a major component in maintaining landscapes and is widely used as ground cover in home lawns, parks. Golf courses, playing grounds and cementeries (Gould and Shaw, 1983). Benefits of turfgrasses can be classified according to their functional, recreational and aesthetic purposes Turfgrass includes many functional, recreational, and aesthetic benefits (Beard, 1994) (Beard and Green, 1994).

Summary In this paper we will look at permaculture as an ethical solution to the ecological crisis. In doing so, we will utilize many topics from the course as well as additional bodies of knowledge to aid in broadening the scope of our central theme. We will explore how permaculture can propagate itself across disciplines from ecology, urban development, social and environmental justice, consumerism, the commons, localism or bioregionalism, and sustainable food. In addition, we will analyze current case studies on permaculture and its practical applications.
Many people around the world need water. Around 780 million people are unable to get clean water (One Billion Affected). People who do have access to clean water in their homes, have to pay a fee. The people who struggle to live obviously do not have enough money to buy water. People who are unable to have clean water have a good chance of dying either from disease or from dehydration. At least 3.4 million people die a year from water problems such as sanitation (One Billion Affected).
