Through various methods of measurement, researchers concluded that synthetic turf systems are not inherently ‘dirty’, but performed better than natural sod when observed in controlled studies. However, the survival of bacteria is largely reliant on the availability of nutrients, and while artificial grass has no organic matter for bacterial growth, bodily fluids such as mucus…

Interestingly, researchers have identified that the survival of bacteria on synthetic turf is largely reliant on the availability of nutrients, rather than simply an absence of an antimicrobial control agent – as reported by Waninger et al (2010) – implicating antimicrobial viability of even non-treated artificial grass systems in applications with reduced traffic and limited exposure to bodily secretions; this delineation is important, as…

Moss phlox is difficult to beat for a carpet of lovely blooms. Throughout the spring, little needle-shaped leaves are covered with masses of blooms in shades of white, pink, and purple. This floral beauty can grow in a wide range of soil conditions, from acidic to alkaline, and excels in sandy, loam, and clay soils.…

The PerfectGroom utilizes a rotary comb to groom the artificial grass blades, while simultaneously picking up debris and depositing it into a catcher. Additionally, some consumers may note that PerfectGroom resembles a traditional lawn mower. The resemblance is similar but key differences are present. Specifically, the main difference is the specialized comber and the fully…
