I specifically chose each of my sites along with the golf course superintendents so that they would be in very out-of-play, but still visible, areas. This mostly means that they're either waaaay far away from the fairways or right on top the tees. The plots are also relatively small--the total area they take up is about 45m x 5m, and there are 1m Roundup-ed buffers between each of the four treatments, which allow folks to walk through the sites without damaging the wildflowers too much.<br /><br />I have another project which focuses on pre-existing naturalized roughs on golf courses, and MAN do the golfers destroy those sites. It's always a rodeo with my naturalized roughs.<br /><br />If you have any other questions, lay 'em on me! Really enjoy your writing and hearing about all the natives in your backyard.<br /><br />EmEntomoloGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090038586520250914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212578917739539697.post-34758590959467201092012-06-12T16:24:13.077-04:002012-06-12T16:24:13.077-04:00Hey EntolomoloGal,
Very interesting. If I had my ...Hey EntolomoloGal,<br /><br />Very interesting. If I had my life to do over again, I'd sure love to study Entomology. Nonetheless, Curious though, given my former attempts at golf, How do you keep the wayward golfers from beating the hell out of the OP plots? By the time I tried to get my ball out of there, it'd look like a sand dune?<br /><br />And love your writing style. Reminds me I've got to loosen mine up. Keep up the great work.<br /><br />Halthe Native Plant Neophytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964345056110233269noreply@blogger.com
