Ah, but if you manage the soil foodweb correctly, you can slow the rapid
vegetative growth of grass and not have to cut as much, but still maintain green
color. Same with most any other plant.

We are trialing this with a few turf people to figure out what the ratio of
fungi:bacteria, AND bacteria to protozoa, fungi to FF nematodes is to control
this.

There's always more that we can do with the critters. We just need to
understand exactly what they do, and why.
