4 FERTILISERS - Lebanon Technologies GRANULAR FERTILISERS Lebanon Turf, a worldwide market leader in the manufacture and development of turf fertiliser. Lebanon Turf products incorporate the very latest in patented nutrient release technology and granule formulation. Proven in their home market in the US, we are delighted to offer Lebanon s best ever products to ALS customers for Whether you are applying to golf greens, sports pitches, lawns, landscapes or general amenity turf the Lebanon range offers uncompromising quality and top performance to suit the budget of today s turf managers. Key Benefits MESA hoof proof controlled release nitrogen in patented single particle form, even if the granule is broken MESA release technology ensures consistent and controlled release of Nitrogen where coated slow release products can fail. Ultra-low application rates and high longevity offer cost savings and a more environmentally friendly approach to turf management. Some things just don't work when they're cut in half Achieve extended potassium release and outstanding longevity using Lebanon s patented EXPO particle. But MESA Does! ½ a piece of MESA is still MESA More about Lebanon Turf s Patented Technologies (Look out for the logo next to the fertiliser) MESA is the first nitrogen source to combine ammonium sulphate with methylene urea in a single particle. The result is an effective and efficiently controlled nitrogen source. MESA provides a consistent, brilliant colour. Unlike SCU, MESA does not rely on coating or lose its slow release attributes when cracked. With MESA, even if cracked, the granule still maintains its slow release properties. That's why half a piece of MESA is still MESA! (Typical nitrogen release: 6-9 weeks) EXPO has been designed to extend the benefits of potassium. Expo is a unique, patented, single-particle made by combining methylene urea and potassium sulphate. It goes beyond standard potassium sulphate found in most fertiliser; Expo was specifically designed to deliver a more efficient, costeffective, controlled release source of potash. It is only available in Lebanon Turf Products. (Typical nitrogen release weeks; typical potassium release: 6-8 weeks) Composite Technology is a patented breakthrough in the fertiliser manufacturing process that produces a superior fertiliser. We start with premium forms of nitrogen and fuse them with phosphorus, potassium, and micro nutrients to create a completely revolutionary, homogeneous granule. The result is a granule with better particle dispersion, better integrity, and a higher measurable amount of nitrogen activity. IBDU has the highest amount of available WIN, this waterinsoluble-nitrogen source provides controlled release, without leaching or surge growth. Nitrogen availability that is not dependent upon soil temperatures or microbial activity results in an extremely versatile and long lasting feeding. Experience a more evenly fed and consistent stand of turf while reducing the number of applications. (Typical nitrogen release: weeks) Meth-EX 40 is the most efficient, high activity methylene urea complex available today. Meth-Ex 40 is nitrogen source that provides extended microbial release without the need for coatings. Microbial release, dependent upon soil moisture and soil temperature, allows nitrogen to be released when the turf needs it most. The result is colour response often the same day of application, minimal surge growth and maximum long-term response. (Typical nitrogen release: 8-10 weeks) 4 How can something that works so fast, last so long?

9 Scotts Greenmaster Pro-Lite 25kg Pro-Lite is the Scotts registered trade name for a new type of micro fertiliser granule technology that contains zeolite in a homogenous form. Zeolite s molecular structure is a 3D cage-like framework of silica and alumina molecules. Due to the spaces and channels in each molecule it acts as a microscopic sponge. Excess oxygen is held in the framework and creates a negative charge that holds cations and water molecules until needed by the plant. As a result zeolite gives improved longevity, dispersion and a more homogenous granule. Quick turf reaction Pro-Lite/zeolite technology enhances longevity Fine granule for quick dispersal Scotts Sportsmaster 25kg Many fertilisers in the Scotts range contain controlled release elements providing nitrogen over an extended period. There are circumstances, however, when the turf manager may not need all the benefits these particular products can give. Sportsmaster products fill that gap. The Sportsmaster products contain compound granular fertilisers. They are manufactured as mini-granules providing ease of application and an even distribution. This ensures even growth, quality and colour over the whole area and prevents unsightly specking effects.

All calcifuge (lime hating plants) such as azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolias, conifers, as well as many ericas and alpines can benefit from regular top dressing with Sulphate of Iron. Sulphate of Ammonia 25kg Sulphate of Ammonia is sometimes known as ammonium sulphate. Ammonium sulphate is an inorganic compound used as a fertiliser to supply nitrogen to plants. It is made by a commercial process that causes ammonia to react with sulphuric acid. When added to water it becomes soluble and thus is readily taken up by the plants, with effects being noticed in under 10 days. Since it is highly soluble in water it also means that it leeches from the soil easily, thus requiring regular applications. Sulphate of Potash 25kg Sulphate of Potash is a quick acting fertiliser to boost flowering and ripening of fruit. The fast acting fertiliser which provides the essential nutrient potassium. Provides greater strength and vigour in plants leading to improved resistance to weather and disease. Sulphate of Potash promotes the development and colour of flowers, resulting in high quality blooms and more abundant fruit yields. It is particularly beneficial to tomatoes. Superphosphate 25kg Superphosphate encourages strong root growth and healthy plants. Fruit, root and seed crops will produce higher yields and ripening will be improved. Superphosphate is one of the keys to success when planting out seedlings, rooted cuttings and transplants. Fish, Blood and Bone Meal 25kg Fish, Blood & Bone contains the three major nutrients for strong and healthy plant growth. The nitrogen in Fish, Blood & Bone encourages strong growth and healthy rich green foliage, whilst the slow steady release of phosphate promotes vigorous root growth. The added potash promotes flower colour and improves ripening of fruit and vegetables. Bone Meal 25kg Sterilised Bone Meal is a slow release organic fertiliser to encourage root development. It provides both phosphates and nitrogen, two elements essential for healthy plant growth. This slow, steady release of nutrients over a long period make Bone meal an ideal fertiliser for bulbs and herbaceous plants, shrubs, roses, fruit trees and strawberries. Dried Blood 25kg Dried Blood is a fast acting organic fertiliser, rich in nitrogen, which promotes above ground growth and healthy foliage. Especially beneficial when growing leaf crops such as lettuce, spinach and cabbage. Dried Blood also makes an excellent top dressing for foliage plants in the greenhouse and conservatory. Hoof & Horn 25kg Hoof & Horn is a high nitrogen feed for plants that produce large amounts of leaf, especially vegetables and corn. Nitrogen is needed to make leaf protein, so plants that make large amounts of green leaf can benefit from top dressings of Hoof and Horn. Examples include brassicas such as cabbage and kale, as well as lettuce, courgettes, and rhubarb. High quality leaves are also important for corn/maize to produce good crop yields. Urea 46% 25kg Urea supplies more nitrogen per ton of product than any other dry fertiliser. It contains 46% nitrogen; this means that each ton of urea supplies 920lbs of nitrogen. For comparison, a ton of ammonium sulphate supplies only 420lbs of nitrogen and a ton of ammonium nitrate supplies only 670lbs of nitrogen. The higher nitrogen content means lower transportation and application costs per pound of nitrogen Application Rate: All straight fertiliser products should be applied as directed on the packaging.

(30% more plants, 30% longer roots) Targeted nutrient application (Feeding the seed, not the weeds) Better wear tolerance Reduced Poa annua levels Environmentally friendly (reduced losses of fertiliser to the environment) Labour saving and cost effective Feed per seed iseed is a nutrient seed coating that consists of seeds and coating materials. The coating consists of a combination of fast acting and slow release fertilisers. Per 100kgs of bare seeds, 20kg N and 4kg P are applied to a field. This means that in the case of Agrostis where we are sowing at low seeding rates and all the problems that entails, we now have a ready made solution for sowing at easier rates. As the fertiliser is coated onto the seeds, the germinating and developing seedling receives the benefit, not the surrounding plants. This is particularly important when overseeding into a competitive sward. The nitrogen and phosphate in iseed are up to four times more efficient compared to broadcast applied ordinary fertilisers. Effectively the amounts applied in the above example would then become 80kgs of N and 16kgs of P per hectare. Johnsons Sports Seed All Johnsons mixes are both TurfGuard and Growmax treated. TurfGuard - Increased germination and establishment TurfGuard is a specific strain of the soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis, which is commonly found in the soil, on roots and on leaves. Applied to grass seed its spores germinate and rapidly colonise the root system of the new plant. This provides a barrier to soil pathogens while producing beneficial growth hormones that assist the grass plant in numerous ways. GroMax - Turf Grass Seed Treatment GroMax is a unique and effective new seed treatment which stimulates the soil's micro-flora, resulting in improved root growth and turf establishment, stress tolerance, and enhanced water and nutrient uptake in grasses.

The species selected have been carefully chosen for their suitability for horses and their ability to reduce the risk of Laminitus when compared to standard horse mixtures. This long term mixture has been formulated to support the diverse demands horses place on a sward. A horse paddock has to not only provide a source of food but also an exercise area, placing great stress on the sward. Couple this with the need to produce some winter forage and it is obvious why some horse paddocks look completely bare by the end of the summer season.

30 GRASS SEED SCOTTS PROFESSIONAL SEED The Scotts Professional Seed Icon Programme The Scotts Professional Seed Icon Programme makes it easier for you to identify grass varieties that are bred for tolerance to extreme conditions and to solve common turfgrass problems, reducing the use of inputs and saving money as a result. Each of the seven trait specific programmes - drought, cold, shade, wear, salt, visual merit and low grow - is identified by a distinctive icon. What do the icons mean? The icons help you identify, at a glance, varieties with specific attributes that help you meet the challenges you face in the establishment, maintenance and ongoing health of your turf. You'll find bentgrasses, fescues, ryegrasses and more, available with wear resistance, shade tolerance, salt tolerance and other important qualities you need, identified with one or more icons. Each icon is a symbol of excellence. Years of research led to the development of these trait-specific grasses which have been subjected to intense trials and have met or surpassed rigid standards for measuring tolerance or resistance. Therefore, turf professionals can be confident that the grasses they select will meet their specific needs. How does the icon programme help me reduce the cost of maintaining my turf? Our varieties have been bred and selected to help you conserve water, apply fewer chemicals and grow premium quality turf with fewer weeds. Shade Tolerance Icon Varieties awarded the Shade Tolerance icon help you maintain a strong, healthy stand of turf in hard to maintain shaded areas. Salt Tolerance Icon Varieties awarded the Salt Tolerance icon help you maintain a beautiful, green turf in high-saline soils. They are ideal near seashores, particularly on Links courses. Drought Tolerance Icon Varieties awarded the Drought Tolerance icon have been bred to withstand the heat and drought of summer. Cold Tolerance Icon Varieties awarded the Cold Tolerance icon have been bred to withstand winter kill from frost. Visual Icon Varieties awarded the Visual Merit icon have been bred specifically for their rich, green colour. Low Grow Icon Varieties awarded the Low Grow icon reduce your mowing frequency and thus lower labour and machinery costs.

39 WORM CONTROL Castclear Worm Deterrent 10L CastClear is a unique combination of nutrient materials that have been clearly shown to reduce worm-cast levels on sports turf. A unique non-pesticidal nutrient that increases turf health and deters wormcasts. CastClear contains more than 5% amino nitrogen with more than 15% bio-organic sulphur. Close scientific evaluation has shown that this new product does not kill worms or reduce populations, but does deter worms from travelling through treated soils. It is unique in using an environmentally friendly surfactant system that moves the nutrient into the upper soil structure and fixes it there; providing good persistence of deterrent effect until breaking down to natural nutrients absorbed by plant roots. It can be used with absolute safety from first tiller formed on new seeds at low rates of application, and year round on established turf.

Leatherjackets can cause serious damage to turf. The adult crane flies are active in the late summer to autumn period with each female laying about eggs. These hatch into larvae in about 14 days and remain in the soil for about 9 months before pupating and then hatching into the next season's crane fly. The larvae feed on the turf (and roots) biting off stems at or just below ground level, resulting in the turf dying back, often in clumps. This leads to bare patches which are then prone to weed invasion.

This is when the young grub larvae are active and the temperature is above 12ºC (54ºF). The nematodes (Heterorhabditis megidis) seek out the chafer grubs and attack the pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they release bacteria that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killing the pest. They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduce inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer must be used within 3-4 weeks of being received. Do not apply Nemasys Chafer Grub killer too late, since the grubs start to move down deeper in the soil and become inactive until the following spring. However, as this move downwards is temperature dependent, in some years it may still be alright to apply later. As long as the grubs are near the surface and the soil temperature is above 12ºC (54ºF) nematodes can still be applied. Pack Sizes: 100m 2 or 500m 2 Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer Apply when the young leatherjackets are active in the soil, this is typically late August through to the end of October. When you start to see the adult daddy-long-legs (towards the end of August) you will know that in a few days they will be laying eggs. These will hatch quickly, therefore, aim to apply about a week to two weeks after you see the adults. The nematodes (Steinernema feltiae), seek out the leatherjackets and attack the pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they release bacteria that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killing the pest. They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduce inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. Apply to moist turf when the soil temperature is above 12ºC (54ºF) and water them in well. The nematode needs to be washed well in so that they reach the roots where the leatherjackets will be. Make sure the turf does not dry out after applying nematodes.

It controls emergent and floating weeds including especially difficult to kill species such as reeds, rushes and sedges. When used as directed there is little risk to spray operators, wildlife or the environment. Roundup Pro Biactive may be used for the control of aquatic weeds in the presence of fish if used in strict accordance with the recommendations in this section. For information on susceptible weeds and algae for all the above treatments please contact the sales office. Before any application of the above chemical is made an application to the Environment Agency must be made and approval will have to be given in writing by the same. Specialist equipment and spraying licence will also be necessary.

The special formula works where many bacteria cultures fail. It is 100% safe for fish and desirable aquatic plants. Blanket Answer is simply added to the pond by pouring the mixed powder and pond water from a designated watering can evenly over the surface. The pond will initially take on a milky appearance, but this will clear after about 5 days. An 800g bottle is sufficient to treat 10,000 litres (10m 3 ) of water body. A 30ml measuring cup is supplied with each pack. One level scoop will treat 285 litres. Remember, nothing is to be gained by a higher than recommended dose. Most users of Blanket Answer have found that after one dose, no more is required. But in the unlikely event, more can be added later if needed. Application Rate: One 30ml Scoop per 285l Pack Coverage: 10,000l Pro Crystal 4.09kg ProCrystal controls swimming or floating unicellular and filamentous algae found in ponds, lakes and all stagnant expanses of water favouring their development. These algae develop and proliferate in nutrient rich waters and are the main cause of oxygen depletion of the water following their decay. Apart from the aesthetic unpleasantness caused, they create a physical obstacle to activities such as irrigation, water sports, fishing and fish farms. ProCrystal is a plant-based inert powder inoculated by 6 strains of class 1 bacteria (over 6 x 10 bacteria per single-dose sachet). It very quickly consumes and degrades the excess nitrogen (nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen) and phosphates that algae feed on to develop. The algae die swiftly after treatment by being deprived of the nourishment essential to their development. Many tests conducted on infested bodies of water show the rapid reduction in nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in water treated with ProCrystal. How to Use ProCrystal is used by distributing the unopened sachets uniformly on the surface of the water. It may be applied from the riverside or from a boat. The sachets should be thrown directly onto the surface of the water requiring treatment. The dosage varies according to the depth of the water and application timing: Depth Application Frequency Dose per 100m² Less than 1 metre Initial Every g Application days Maintenance Every g Application days More than 1 metre Initial Every g Application days Maintenance Every g Application days Excalibar 25L - Barley Straw Extract Excalibar is an established, environmentfriendly extract of barley straw preparation to fight and control algae. Not a herbicide. It comes as an easilyapplied solution, and is harmless to fish and other animals Produced under carefully controlled conditions, and is batch-tested to MAINTAIN CONSISTENT CONCENTRATIONS OF ANTIALGAE COMPOUNDS 100% active from the moment it is poured into the water, and blocks further growth of the algae present. Because it does not directly kill the algae, Excalibar should ideally be used as a preventive tool, and added in the spring, before the algae begin to grow strongly. It can still be used under algal bloom conditions, but may take some weeks to bring the bloom under control, as the algal cells expire. Suspended algae (green and blue-green species) succumb to Excalibar more quickly than filamentous types Application Rates: When used as a preventative - 5l per acre for weeks 1 & 2 and then week 3 onwards 1l per acre per week.

43 WETTING AGENTS Hydrate 10L Hydrate is a unique proprietary blend of soil active surfactants formulated for monthly applications in professional turf management. Hydrate corrects the conditions associated with water-repellent soils symptomatic of localised dry spot (LDS) often found in golf courses, sports fields, turf farms and managed residential lawn situations. Hydrate will improve the rate and depth of water penetration in organic acid coated sandy soils, and impermeable compacted soils. Hydrate will improve irrigation efficiencies by reducing pooled water over hydrophobic soils and reduce runoff. Hydrate will improve turfs playing conditions and result in operational cost savings to golf courses and public recreation facilities. Hydrate becomes an even more important management tool in regions where limited water resources are a growing public and environmental concern. Hydrate can be used all year round. Optimal performance is obtained when used with regular maintenance program of monthly applications during the growing season. Application timing and rates of Hydrate may vary upon the time of year, soil type, thatch depth, and local environmental conditions. Hydrate performs best when initial application is made early in the growing season prior to environmental conditions that produce plant stress. For regular lawncare, apply on initial dose of 20l per hectare followed by monthly maintenance treatment of 10l per hectare. Note: For best results, irrigate immediately after use or apply when rainfall is expected.

When used it cuts the waxy layer on plant leaves to speed the uptake of glyphosate. It can thus be most useful in a number of ways. Firstly it will enhance uptake to kill difficult weeds such as bracken, Japanese knotweed, brush wood weeds, sow thistles and others. Secondly it will speed up the action of glyphosate to reduce the time it takes to work. Thirdly it will speed uptake if rainfall is threatening and ensure the glyphosate works in marginal conditions. Finally, for normal weeds, its effect will enhance the effects of glyphosate enough to allow a considerable reduction in application rates and still give excellent results. Use at 2% of spray solution. Every spray operative should keep some handy! MIXTURE-B IS A TRADEMARK OF AMEGA SCIENCES Adjuvant Oil 5L Useful and economical spraying aid to assist in sticking chemical to the target and improving rainfastness.

52 LINE MARKING LINE MARKING & LINE MARKING EQUIPMENT Primo Maxx 5L The world leading turf growth regulator, Primo Maxx, is now approved for mixing with line marking paint - helping to retain line visibility for up to 50% longer. It also maintains turf quality and eliminates the time, cost and inconvenience of restoring lines burnt-out with total herbicides.

54 IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT T400 Portable Travelling Sprinkler The Tracker T-400 offers a very economical solution for supplementing seasonal watering needs of ¼ acre (1000m 2 ) to 2 acre (8000m 2 ) areas. It is also ideal for irrigating athletic fields, cemeteries, or other large campuses where an underground system is impractical. Built to last, with precision German engineering and high quality materials, this portable powerhouse can irrigate an entire football field in just two passes. Tracker T-400 requires minimal labour to operate. Powered by water, it pulls itself along a nylon cable and automatically shuts down when it reaches the end of it. Simply connect Tracker to a 1 (25mm) reinforced heavy duty hose (which can be connected to a water supply at the end or sides of the field). Unroll the cable and anchor it to a stake at the opposite end of your field. Then set the speed control (which controls the application rate of the water) and turn on the water. Requires minimum of 6 BAR water pressure at hose. Features Adjustable speed control 360ft (110m) nylon cable Provides maximum irrigated length of 400ft (121m) Galvanised anchor stake Water turbine drive and gear box Standard full or part circle sprinkler 8-15 GPM (30-56l/min) Specifications Weight: 80lbs (36kg) +10lbs (4.5kg) for shipping materials Size: Length 33 (833mm), Width 22 (559mm), Height 22 (559mm) Materials: Aluminium, Brass, ABS Options 1 x 100ft heavy-duty reinforced hose 1 brass quick coupling valves, keys Larger sprinklers (requires larger hose/more pressure) Watering Guide The area which can be irrigated by the Tracker depends on the weather (temperature and supplemental rainfall) and the time available for watering. Well-fertilised, healthy grass requires approximately 0.35 (9mm) of water daily during the hottest time of the year, and about half of that during the cooler seasons. Two sprinkler nozzles, #6 (8.8 GPM) and #7 (15 GPM) are supplied with the Tracker to accommodate varying watering requirements. The Tracker can drag up to 360ft (110m) of hose allowing a maximum irrigated length of 400ft (122m). The width of a travel lane is typically 70 to 85 feet (21 to 25m). As a guideline, the Tracker will water about 2 / 3 acre (2,760m 2 ) in 8 hours. Water Source: The Tracker requires at least 9 GPM (34l/min) at 50 psi (3.3 bars), which is typically available from 1 (25mm) or larger pipeline. Larger areas may require up to 15 GPM (57l/min) at 85 psi (5.4 bars). The watering guide chart included with each Tracker T-400 contains additional information.

Easy to view ruler make this the easiest tool to see what is really happening with their turf. Soil Compaction Tester/Penetrometer Compaction causes serious problems on many soils and can be a serious problem for turf managers. Compacted soils result in poor root and plant development. Compacted soil is dense; rooting may be adversely affected. Mega Pascal scale on as standard. Compaction severely restricts the manner in which soil naturally manages water; both by holding water near the surface of the field - and by limiting the ability of plants to take up water and nutrients from below. Excess surface water makes fields difficult to work in the spring and fall. A compacted zone means that fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides you apply cannot be utilised efficiently. If they are not absorbed, they can be wasted away easily. 58 DID YOU KNOW WE DO SANDS, LOAMS AND TOP DRESSING? SEE PAGE 19

64 CONTRACT SERVICES DRAINAGE & CONTRACT SPRAYING Drainage Systems BLEC Vibra Sand Injector Area of use - Golf Greens The Blec Sand Injector is 1m wide. Slits are cut by discs at 25cm centres to a maximum depth of 14cm, 20mm wide. An oscillating cam causes vibration of the injection legs, which enables the slits to be filled to full depth without bridging, whilst shattering the surrounding soil. The Sand Injector will handle moist sand, leica and 2-6mm grit. (Needs to connect to existing drainage for operation to provide full drainage benefits). BLEC Sandmaster Areas of use - Sports Pitches and Golf Fairways The injection system on this machine is on the oscillating cam principal as described for the sand injector above. The machine is 1.5m wide, slits are cut by a rotary decompactor, blades set a 25cm spacings and cutting 15mm slots at a maximum depth of 20cm. Thus the ground is decompacted prior to the injection of drainage material, and ridging does not occur. Suitable for the application of moist sand, leica and 2-6mm grit. AFT Whizz Wheel This system was specifically designed to prolong the life of compacted, water logged golf greens for 10-years or more without the need for reconstruction. Not only is this a much cheaper alternative, it enables the character of existing greens, often built up over decades, to be preserved. Instead of material being added to the green, soil is taken away and replaced with 6mm aggregate (a silicate aggregate) - slits are then connected to an existing drain, or ALS will construct drainage to a suitable outfall. Benefits are: Reduced use of temporary greens through water logging Resulting improvement in greens soil structure Better playing conditions Improved root development Earlier spring growth and reduced disease susceptibility I have had a good working relationship with ALS for a number of years. The guys that come on site are very conscientious and never have to be supervised. I would not consider using any other contractor.

Lantra Awards/NPTC Qualification In addition to our own courses, we work closely with a network of training partners throughout the UK to offer a full range of land-based training to individual candidates including the popular Safe Use of Pesticides (PA1, PA2, PA6 etc.), Arboriculture (chainsaws eg CS30/31, brushcutters, hedgecutters), Land-based Machinery and Equipment (mowers, tractors, ATVs etc.), Health and Safety, and First Aid courses. If you have a group of 4 or more we would welcome your enquiry for a bespoke course delivered at your premises. Other Pitchcare-designed courses include: Essential Management Skills Especially developed for groundstaff team leaders and supervisors, this 2-day course is delivered by trainer and careers counsellor Frank Newberry. Three months separate the two days so delegates have the opportunity to implement new techniques and then bring their experiences back to the group. An outline of the course programme can be found in the training section of the Pitchcare Website. Dealing with Difficult People and Situations This one day course is of value to anyone whose working environment brings them into contact with the general public, e.g. public parks and gardens, village or community sports facilities and play areas, school sports fields, local authority amenity land, theme and leisure parks. Inevitably such people will meet situations of potential conflict and misunderstanding. Such events demand well-developed communication skills if they are to be dealt with sensitively with the best possible outcome being achieved for all concerned. Lawn Care for the 21st Century A 1-day course designed by Phil Sharples, author of The Lawn Guide. The course is designed primarily for the keen amateur gardener who wishes to produce and maintain a domestic lawn, but it would be equally beneficial for anyone looking to produce a professional lawn. The course includes a section on organic practices.
