OK, we admit, this isn't a frequently asked question! But it has been asked a few times and we got an answer.

Archaeologists have discovered bowling balls, pins and other equipment in an Egyptian child's grave dating back to 5200 B.C. So we know that Egyptians were playing a form of bowling centuries ago. In Germany, back in A.D. 200, village dances and celebrations included a similar form of the game -- they rolled stones at nine wooden clubs called kegles. Bowlers in Germany are sometimes still referred to as "keglers." Bowling was recorded in England as early as the 1100s.

All of the green mixes on the shelves contain artificial colorings (usually FD&C Yellow or Blue). We do not believe in artificial colorings, additives, or preservatives. The natural color of our mix is a result of the blended juices that we combine to come up with the perfect margarita mix. We do use ascorbic acid, more commonly known as Vitamin C, to maintain color consistency.

Absolutely. Our SofTrak synthetic green system utilizes over 6 pounds per square foot of a specialized rounded quartz silica (RQS 2000) that can be found only in Texas and Minnesota. The sheer weight of the quartz silica (over 3 tons for a 1,000 sq.ft. green!) anchors the turf in place, causing it to conform to the slopes and contours that we carefully design and sculpt into the base.

The Green Show is a parish-wide event held on the first weekend of December. Goods made by parishioners through workshops are sold to the community.

The Preview Party is attended by a majority of the parish and is a wonderful way to see all of the parishioners.

You can read more about them by reading Tree Types or http://www.realchristmastrees.org/treetype/concolor.html. Christmas tree growers do use insecticides to prevent damage by insects ... but only when absolutely necessary. Most growers now use insecticides that are very specific to the insect they are trying to control. In this way, they can minimize the effects to other creatures.

This is a very common question in the summer. In lakes that are over-enriched with nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, algae tend to prosper and create "algae blooms." One group in particular, blue-green algae (Cyanophytes) can be quite bothersome. Blue-greens tend to form large colonies that float on the surface of the water.

Guidance on sowing or planting wild plants on road verges, village greens or other areas of the countryside is available from Flora Locale. You should read this guidance carefully as there are many situations where it would be a mistake to plant wild flowers. Make sure that you plan properly before doing any planting, and remember that seeds or propagules used in your project should always be of local provenance.
