Roll Around on the Grass

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

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.

Sustainable Describes the New-Age Lawn

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

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.
