Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation-Sponsored Webinar Discusses Backyard Conservation and the Lawn of the Future
NACD webinar series imparts strategies for structuring urban conservation initiatives
An emerging R&D concept at The Scotts Miracle Gro Company––the "lawn of the future"––shows how an array of innovations are working together to allow homeowners to have a beautiful outdoor space even as water resources become increasingly limited. During a recent National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) webinar, ScottsMiracle-Gro scientist Phil Dwyer, aka Dr. Phil the Lawn Doctor, reviewed this holistic approach to backyard conservation, covering all aspects of lawn and garden care including sustainable grass varieties, targeted fertilization, smart watering and drip irrigation. Participants gained insights on new ways to enhance the water use efficiency of lawns both through the evaluation of new smart watering technologies and the best cultural practices for protecting water resources.
