Today on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, Master Gardener and KUCI Staff host Bill Brooks talks with an expert on one of the most ubiquitous features of Southern California landscapes. The topic this week is TURF! We’re talkin’ Lawn and Grass landscaping including the terms Turf, Turf Grass, Sod, and Lawn which all mean the same! Bill talks with Mike Henry, former Turf Advisor in Orange County and one of the originators of the Master Gardener program in this county. Mike’s vast research over the last 40 plus years has made him an expert in all things turf-related. Just about every aspect is covered in this short one-hour show such as decisions: seasonal (cool/warm), seed/sod, meadow/manicured; what fertilizers to use and when; maintenance (mowing, weeding, watering). How about Artificial ??? Join us to find out the ins and outs, and pluses and minuses of growing grass here in Orange County.
