It is similar, but not the same. Be careful, when phoning round for quotes, be sure to get a price, which is for a square metre. Some non-TGA growers charge a square metre price for a square yard or a half square yard (a square yard is 20% smaller than a square metre). Not at all, turf is a mat of living grass plants; the soil is only the carrier in the same way as soil from a pot plant is.

These are just processes that remove most of the dissolved minerals from water. Many orchid growers with poor quality water will use one or the other to produce high quality pure water for use. To repeat the warning above for pure water users, you must use a complete fertilizer including calcium and magnesium, and be careful of the pH after adding the fertilizer.

A Certainly this depends on many factors. The Motz Group has provided the Boosters with a two-year extension to their 8-year performance warranty. With proper care and maintenance the 24/7 Artificial Turf System will last well beyond the 10-year warranty period.

Research has shown that one synthetic turf field can provide the same play capacity as up to six grass fields. Turf fields greatly increase available scheduling options and flexibility of field use, permitting maximum participation for our student-athletes. The rapid drainage qualities and consistent playing surface of turf fields provides for safe year-round use in all types of weather.

No. The different turfs we sell have different features. However, most people prefer the nylon turf. Review Selection of Turfs.

No, but we do provide referrals to reputable landscapers or turf layers who would be happy to lay your turf for you.

Canturf is delivered via one of our forklifts and our friendly driver will place the turf on your site and put the pallet back on the truck.

Canturf accepts most major credit cards, cheques and cash. Eftpos facilities are also available at our Fyshwick Farm when picking up your turf.

You can work your area out by clicking on our lawn area calculator or you can fax us your layout with measurements (preferably in meters) and our trained technicians will work out the area and amount for you.

Turf toe comes from hyperextension of the MTP joint of the great toe. This can range from a mild sprain to complete dislocation. Predisposing factors include hard artificial playing surfaces such as Astroturf, soft soled athletic shoes that allow hyperextension of the forefoot, and pre-existing limited motion of the first MTP joint. Treatment is usually directed towards stiffening of the forefoot of the shoe, using an orthosis, or taping.

The turfs own weight will usually be enough (approx 1/2 lb per sq ft), but some infill is required to help the fibers stand up naturally to help prevent "matting", and this infill will additionally assist in weighing the turf down so it doesn't shift or move. A combination of sand and rubber infill seems to be the most popular. Many prefer the "soft" feel of rubber granual infill for where use is greatest, and sand infill (it's less expensive) for those lawn areas less frequently used.

We prefer the term alternative turf to synthetic or artificial turf. It is a carpet made of polypropylene, polyethylene or nylon fibers constructed to simulate real grass. Today's turf is an integral component of an overall system that more closely resembles natural turf than its predecessors, yet outperforms natural turf without intensive maintenance.

There are no funding programs currently available to assist with start-up or beginning farm operations. Current financial programs focus on more industry level support through industry development funds where partial funding may be accessed on select projects, such as those that involve new product development, research or marketing. Information on these programs is available from the BC Investment Agriculture Foundation and from the BC Agriculture Council.

In commercial growing monitor your CO2 levels. LED lights emit a large amount of absorbed light, which may require slight augmentation of CO2 levels (300-500 PPM).

No, many growers will have a mix of all levels of greenhouses. They will often integrate different types and styles of greenhouses to optimize crop quality without compromising economics. Thus a grower must know where the greenhouse will be built, local zoning and codes, weather patterns, and what time of year the crop will be grown.

Ask the grower to post you an up to date ‘TGA Certificate of Turf Characteristics’, this will advise you of the quality before you buy, in accordance with the TGA standards for quality.

WideStrike??? Insect Protection will be priced to the value it brings to growers by providing excellent season-long, broad-spectrum lep control.

Growers benefit by eliminating all crop damage and losses caused by the boll weevil and all costs related to controlling this pest. Once the boll weevil is eradicated from an area, growers typically experience an increase in cotton yield of at least 10 percent, significantly more in some areas. Moreover, resurgence of beneficial insects preying on other cotton pests further reduces the need for pesticides, resulting in additional cost savings.

Finca Leola S.A. is a Costa Rican corporation or Sociedad Anonima which is owned by two equal partners: Fred Morgan (president) and his wife, Amy Morgan. They started Finca Leola in 2002 with business and farming backgrounds and planted their first trees in 2003. They're getting excellent growth because they have volcanic soil (although they're far enough from the volcano to be safe) and because of the care they give to the trees.

Each year the PD/GWSS Board makes recommendations to CFDA for the assessment rate which by law can be no greater than $3 per $1,000 of value. In 2001 the rate was set at $3 per $1000. In 2002 - $2 per $1000; 2003 - $2 per $1000; 2004 - $2 per $1000; 2005 - $2 per $1000; 2006 - $2 per $1000.

Our turf fibers have been manufactured to resemble real grass." Our turf fibers have been bent and spring-set to help prevent "matting" over time. The fiber component consists of UV protected "polyethylene," which is the softest fiber component in the industry. LazyLawn turf only requires a small amount of sand infill to stabilize the root of the fiber and weight down the turf.

The difference between Mirage turf fibers and other synthetic turf begins with the manufacturing process. Our specially designed spring set turf fibers are manufactured to interlock with each other, creating a realistic bent fiber look, just like "real bent grass" greens. Most deep-in-filled synthetic turf has straight end fibers that must be sand filled and periodically rolled with a heavy water-filled sod roller. Our turf fibers have been manufactured to stand-up naturally.

The program calls for the complete removal of grass to qualify, in some instances we have allowed some small turf areas in the back yard. Xeriscape principals allow for small "functional" areas of turf for pets and children to play on but it must not be the dominate area and only in a back yard. A. What we are looking for is the total landscapable area of you property, how much of that still has grass and how much of that is desert landscaping.

The green grass blades are made out of a polyethylene fiber which is "infilled" with a 70% rubber and 30% sand mixture. The entire turf system is manufactured by Sportexe, which currently has fields at M & T Bank Stadium (Home of the Baltimore Ravens) and the Louisiana Superdome (Home of the New Orleans Saints). You'll be playing on the same exact surface as NFL teams as well as several college stadiums.

Competition in the synthetic turf field construction business has become very intense. This has resulted in pressure to cut engineering corners. Some designers have even omitted drainage systems from their designs in an effort to further reduce costs. The shortsightedness of this strategy is not always immediately visible.
