All you ever wanted to know about Turfgrass NutritionBy OcelarisIve read quite a few books on plants and chemistry and this one gets right down to the point with all the various options on amendments and cautions about application etc... This is all you ever need to maintain your yards nutrients. It does require a reasonable chemistry background to make sense of this; i.e. advanced chemistry in high school or basic college chemistry. I bought this book after hearing about it on a webcast from [...] and [...] . And I highly reccomend it for hobbyist lawn aficionados.
