When it comes to sustainability, the life of your landscaping is as significant as the initial design. But often it’s the design that gets the bulk of the attention from developers, grounds maintenance crews, parks districts and even private golf course groundskeepers.

Reprioritize, says Michael Chaplinsky, founder and president of Turf Feeding Systems—the fertigation system that attaches to any irrigation system. Professional Grade Fertigation systems are affordable for, parks districts, private golf courses, government agencies and even homeowners with substantially-sized lots are turning to Turf Feeding Systems for precision irrigation that combines water with constant delivery of nutrients resulting in a lush, green lawn with a bountiful root system to keep it strong all season long.

Golf courses, says Chaplinsky, have some of the most sophisticated irrigation systems in place and have been using fertigation for years. Some of the finest golf courses—Spyglass Hill, Pebble Beach and The Broadmoor in Colorado, Springs—have fertigation systems.

The City of Colorado Springs has 72 fertigation systems in use on more than 450 acres of parks, sports fields and landscaping citywide. City officials embraced fertigation when it became evident that they could drastically reduce the maintenance budget by using Turf Feeding Systems versus the labor involved in applying dry fertilizer and the fact that constant delivery of nutrients through the water system results in an optimum plant rather than sporadic fertilization spring through fall.

If your landscaping is stressed and not flourishing, it’s likely the result of inappropriate watering and lack of nutrients. When the two—water and nutrients—are delivered in combination, the plant absorbs nutrients simultaneously with the water for better benefit. It could be compared to working out versus being a couch potato.

After all, if your landscaping isn’t thriving and looks spotty and stressed, no one will notice that the design is interesting.

The cost of water used for irrigation in the high plains of Colorado has caused a number of metro-Denver homeowners to permanently abandon thoughts of having a lush, green lawn.  Besides the high cost of water, the new “green” mood of ecologic sensitivity has inspired some homeowners to plant low-water-intake plants like native grasses and cactus.

Still nothing can replace the long summer afternoon spent rolling around on the lawn like kids once did.

Turf Feeding Systems to the rescue!

Turf Feeding Systems uses fertigation and high-analysis liquid fertilizers that add special, non-harmful, organic liquid nutrients to the water as it irrigates. That means, says founder Michael Chaplinsky, that the nutrients get directly to the plant where it needs food, resulting in a healthy root system—the foundation of a thick, lush plant, whether it’s a lawn or landscape plant.

Turf Systems relies on Growth Products, a specialty fertilizer manufacturer with its complete line of high-quality liquid fertilizers that can be injected through the irrigation system at a price at or below dry fertilizers. Plus the cost of labor to apply the dry fertilizer is eliminated.

Appropriate water and food are the two things that can return a stressed lawn into a soft carpet of green within one season.

It’s sort of ironic to consider that “green” thinking doesn’t mean a lush, green lawn when using old-school techniques for watering. That’s where the new best practices of Turf Feeding Systems comes into play. Using Turf Feeding fertigation systems, the water delivered to plant areas—lawns and other landscaping—is precisely measured and includes fertilizers in the water, making it the most effective way to apply nutrients while irrigating at exactly the right times and amounts.

Wasting water is an ecologist’s nightmare.

Plus it can be expensive to overwater using old-fashioned garden hoses. Even the labor costs of having dry fertilizer applied are increasing non-stop.

Michael Chaplinsky, founder and president of Turf Feeding Systems, spends his days meeting with groundskeepers, maintenance crews and government agencies seeking a solution to the high cost of watering and fertilizing the landscaping in their care. Turf Feeding Systems uses Growth Products, a specialty fertilizer line that manufactures high-quality liquid fertilizer that can be injected in the Turf Feeding irrigation system. “The beauty in this application is that the water amounts uses are precise, eliminating overwatering,” explains Chaplinsky. Plus the application of fertilizer in the water rather than using dry fertilizer, makes for an even application, eliminating waste and over-fertilizing.

Called “fertigation,” there’s no system to compete with the advantages of Turf Feeding Systems. That’s why cities, park districts and highway departments are including purchase of Turf Feeding Systems in their 2009 budgets.
