People often have a misconception of the difference between a liability and an asset. I have come to understand an asset as a commodity that generates income and a liability is a possession that does not. While we will be speaking about having a lawn, and I understand...

Several years ago when we adopted our biological program I was not well-versed in all of the nuances and idiosyncrasies of how microbiology interacted with the soil in the plant root. Since then I have a much fuller understanding of how it works in the benefits of...

Have you ever asked yourself why you have to expend so much water, so much fertilizer, so much herbicides and fungicides? I see a lot of people getting frustrated with their lawns, with their lawn service, with their water bill and the whole process. As a matter of...

Immune systems as you and I know it do not exist in plants. They rely on a different mechanism to defend their tissues. They rely on beneficial microbes to accomplish their method of immunity against pathogenic microbes that spread disease. Almost all of the lawn...

Technology is constantly changing, improving and being adapted to better the human experience to make our lives more productive. Ironically, humans typically are resistant to change as it can challenge our comfort, our routine and our order in life. The initial...

For a long time, the way we’ve all been taught to care for our lawns has been pretty straightforward and, let’s face it, a bit outdated. But now, with a better understanding of biology and new technologies, it’s clear that the old methods are costing us more than they...

When it comes to lawn care, it’s easy to fall into the trap of quick fixes. One of the most common misconceptions I’ve encountered is the belief that you can solve deep-seated lawn issues just by ripping out the grass and laying down new sod. It sounds logical on the...
