Mr. Grass in the lab
I unknowingly began my career as a mere hobby gardening while still in High School. I pursued this line of study and later achieved my plant science degree at UNH where I did research on the working Horticultural farm. I accepted a career in the turf industry where I have remained for nearly 25 years. I began the turf division for Chippers in 2008.
In 2008, the ETC (Essential Turf Care) program was launched with my hand-picked selection of products, philosophy, and education. With 4 years now complete, the ETC program has thrived and expanded with the addition of Brian Ducharme in the Concord area. I am a certified ISA Arborist, Plant Health care professional, and a Master Turf Manager. With so much practical field experience and knowledge in the industry, I decided to launch this blog in order to assist and entertain readers. I am the current president of the Twin State chapter of BNI and welcome you as a guest if you desire to increase your networking power and grow your business.
For additional information, please check out “THE ABC”S of a great lawn” on the home page, top right. Here you can find past posts I have written by topic such as lawn care companies, lime, fertilizer, or even core aeration!
Just one thing I would caution you on the nematodes, they die within 5-10 minutes when exposed to sunlight, so unless someone is watering them right away they die. Thats what prevented me from using them in my buisness, and as far as milky spore we are too far north. Good site
Thanks for the great feedback. Yes, I am planning on using two hybrid strains and yes- I am aware of the fragility of how long they last on the surface. The plan is to spray them in the rain or with showers to move them into the soil. I did this on a ball field where the client could not irrigate with even standard grub control so this will be the same scenario- different product.

Wow Mr. Grass -
Great blog you’ve got here. I agree about the snow, in fact, I wish it would snow year-round so that I wouldn’t have to touch one single blade of the green stuff. By the way, has anyone come up with maintenance-free grass?
Looking forward to our meeting – soon I hope.
