Turf School Day Twenty-Five

We began the day with a quiz in turfgrass maintenance. The quiz mostly covered information about the soil and nutrients. It was 20 questions true or false, and was pretty simple. We then learned about setting up a fertility plan. how much to fertilize, when to fertilize, and what type of fertilizer to use.
We then had our tree and weed identification classes. We learned a few new trees today then went out and walked around the Rutger's Gardens to look at some different trees. For the weed id class the teacher went out and collected some weeds for us to indentify to prepare us for our upcoming id quiz.
The classes are interesting and I am beginning to study and remember the various weeds and their names.

There is a big storm rolling in so our class is cancelled for tomorrow. Hopefully they do not close down the airport so I can get to Christina's. Can't wait for some good home-cooked meals, and to see the Tarbets!!!!
