<br />For a more in-depth <br />understanding of the <br />contributions of conventional <br />lawns, please see the <br />attached: <br /> <br />. "Ecological Researchers <br />Surprised To Find Lawns <br />Provide Benefits To Urban <br />Environments", by Dr. <br />Doug Sold at, Department <br />of Soil Science, University <br />of Wisconsin-Madison. <br /> <br />, . "The Role of Turfgrasses in <br />Environmental Protection <br />and Their Benefits to <br />Humans", by James B. <br />Beard and Robert L. <br />Green, Journal of <br />Environmental Qualitv, Vol. <br />23, No.3, May-June 1994. <br /> <br />. "Environmental Benefits of <br />a Healthy, Sustainable <br />Lawn", from University of <br />Minnesota Extension <br />Services, SUUS. <br /> <br />The most common mistake <br />that owners of conventional <br />turf grass lawns make is that <br />of over watering. A good <br />base of black dirt that is well <br />maintained is the best way to <br />reduce the amount of water <br />needed to produce a healthy <br />turf grass ground covering. <br />But care must be taken not to <br />provide more water than is <br />needed to accomplish this <br />goal.
