How Green is Your Lawn? (via Teatown Thoughts)
Posted by ecocanyon in Lawn & Garden on Mar 9th, 2011 | 3 commentsI am reading “Producing and consuming chemicals: The moral economy of the American Lawn” by Paul Robbins and Julie T. Sharp for a Society and Sustainability class at Arizona State University, where I am a nontraditional student studying sustainability.
This blog post came up when I was researching for a less technical article. Teatown is in the next town over from where I grew up. I remember it well.
Here is a website for growing and maintaining a sustainable lawn: http://www.safelawns.org/

Teatown… how perfect. And, EcoCanyon. Again, brilliant. Welcome to the world of Blog. I hope I’m your first official “follower.”
This looks like one to follow! Best of luck with the blogging life. If it’s like your other ventures, it’s bound to be successful.

Thanks for the link. If you have a lawn another way to maintain it with less water is to switch up your Arizona sod variety. Evergreen Turf is growing a new sod variety called TifGrand that is great for shaded Arizona lawns, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t require more water than usual. This will be great because a lot of people waste water on areas that don’t grow in the shade, so TifGrand would resolve that issue. Good luck in your sustainability class!
