The Tennessee Smart Yard Program, with Amy Dunlap, Agricultural Extension Agent, University of Tennessee (Episode 111)
Manage episode 426152312 series 1525100
It is long past time that we reexamine the traditional notion of the American Yard.
The highly manicured weed free turf grass lawn with associated ornamental shrubs can be highly wasteful in terms of the use of energy and water consumption. The widespread use of herbicides, fertilizers and pesticides by homeowners can be detrimental to the environment. Of prominent concern is the pollution of rivers and streams by chemical and soil runoff in storm water.
The University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension has developed a comprehensive program to assist homeowners and property managers in making the transition to a style of yard stewardship which is, at once, more practical and also more thoughtful environmentally. Hence, The Smart Yard!
Our guest is Amy Dunlap, Agricultural Extension Agent ( Agriculture and Natural Resource specialist ) for Davidson County Tennessee.
