Wastewater sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants in Nizhny Novgorod and soils based on them, prepared with different ratios of sludge, sawdust and peat, have been investigated. Sewage sludge-based soils contain plant nutrients and are suitable for use as fertilizing materials in green building. Under the conditions of a three-year lysimetric experiment on cereal lawn grasses, a significant efficiency of organic soils was noted in comparison with traditional soils. The lawn maintenance regime revealed differences in the mixtures of fertilizing materials in terms of the effect on the productivity of the phytocenosis. Use of sewage sludge containing large amounts of heavy metals as one of the soil components undoubtedly leads to increase in the amount of these toxic elements in the soil as a whole.

Official Recognition

In their attempts to be more environmentally sensitive, many thousands of homeowners propose, or actually implement, alternatives to conventional lawn maintenance. In many cases, the perception of “naturalness” incorporates un-mowed grasses and forbs believed by the homeowner to be reminiscent of fields and pastures. A previous study of municipal attitudes toward this phenomenon revealed a wide variety of responses, ranging from laissez-faire, through official recognition and registration to strict prohibition and vigorous enforcement. The current expansion of this study focused on larger cities and their suburbs, especially newer subdivisions. In contrast to the general air of tolerance expressed by many smaller, midwestern towns for alternative landscape plans, provided they are well-maintained, larger cities and suburbs appear generally much less tolerant of nonstandard lawn maintenance. Failure to maintain lawn grasses at a standard height will almost certainly lead to enforcement of lawn maintenance and weed control ordinances in a majority of the cities surveyed, no matter what the intentions of the homeowner.

Lawn Maintenance

There is a renewed interest today in organic lawn care and a trend among many homeowners to consider long-term environmental concerns in their lawn maintenance programs. The term "organic" can cover many different aspects of lawn care, including fertility and pest management. There is also a certain amount of confusion and misunderstanding over the concept of organic lawn care and what it entails, and as to whether products are beneficial or fall into the “snake oil” category. This document is ENH883, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
