hortconsulting. com/Iowa Dr Eldon Everhart is one of the very few of my college professors that is still active in the horticulture industry. Others (such as Alex Shigo, Bob Partyka, etc) are nolonger active. Question: Anybody else know of these folks? Been educated by any? Does anybody have over 40 years experience in the horticulture industry? Does your current "expertise" rely upon "definitions of terms" in somebody's book?
This "name tag" is from "ChemScape" (ChemLawn's tree/shrub care division from the 1970's & 1980's). I still have a shirt or two just like the one here. ChemScape was decades ahead of its time. ChemScape attracted the "most renowned" arborists/ horticulturists in the world (including icons such as Dr. Bob Partyka, and Dr. Alex Shigo). I will match my "practical knowledge" with nearly any so-called expert that "pays an annual fee to belong to a group". Been doing so for 43 years. Bottom line...
A healthy lawn keeps weeds out, and the more grass you have growing, the less room there is for weeds. Regularly scheduled lawn care encourages the new growth that forces weeds out, leaving you with an emerald carpet that will be the envy of the neighborhood.
Building the health of your soil with an organic lawn maintenance program benefits your shrubs, trees, and other garden plants as well. Since the roots of your trees and shrubs extend into the soil under your lawn, they are affected by any treatments that are used on the grass.
Crabgrass is the bane of every homeowner wanting a nice lawn. An annual, it germinates, sets its seeds, and dies within a year; its seeds can lie dormant for three years. Best management practices require eradicating it before it has a chance to set its seeds.
