Which is more important? Roots or green foliage.

 

Which part of the turf are your constituents going to grade you on: the thriving, green foliage above the soil or the length and density of roots below the surface? At the end of the day, your constituents want the greenest turf possible. Very few pay attention to what occurs below the surface. However, roots are important not only for the good of your turf but also for the environment. Learn to use your soil and roots as an asset and make it one of your major considerations when designing your programs.
