Turf Courses

What would life be like with no open spaces covered in lush green lawn? Places to relax while the kids run around or tumble on the soft surface? Places where cricketers or rugby players entertain us, or horses thunder by with sod flying from their hooves. Turf Producers Australia notes that turf is a major source of comfort and beauty in our lives. They go as far as to say that turf plays a critical role in the general health and welfare of Australia. Well-managed turf is probably good in most circumstances, but it takes a lot of study to know the right variety of grass for each situation. It takes a good foundation in horticulture to know how to prepare the ground for new lawns and how to maintain existing ones. Anyone working in the turf and lawn industry needs to be familiar with equipment options from the most basic push mower to the most sophisticated lawn tractor. And a good knowledge of the many lawn care products on the market is essential for those who wish to make a living selling them, as well as those who need to purchase them.

Turf courses from Courses Direct provide all this information and a lot more besides. You will learn about turf management and turf maintenance, about weeding and feeding and about pest control, both cultural and chemical.
