I Gotta Get Me Some New Grass!

The people who make Scotts fertilizer are close to making it through all the red tape and government regulation so they can release genetically modified grass that resists weeds, crab grass, and doesn’t need as much water or mowing. Very cool. This would have been available quite a while ago if it weren’t for the mamby-pamby crybaby “environmentalists” who have an irrational fear of anything “GM” (genetically modified) related.

Read this very cool Wired article about the grass and the guy who is going to make it happen. I was surprised by how much turf there is planted in North America and what the positive and negative effects are. Hopefully this technology will go a long way toward making everyone happier…cleaner water…cleaner air…less time spent mowing, fertilizing and weeding.
