Hi Michael,

Thanks for sending the draft statement of what you are doing.  I am impressed by what you are doing to create regenerative lawns.  Your turf cultivation techniques should significantly reduce the need for the excessive use of agrochemicals in turf cultivation. Your methods reduce fertilizer and other agrochemical (fungicides and herbicide) applications.  This reduced negative environmental impact of turf may be important to people that want to reduce negative fertilizer and agrochemical contaminant impacts on the environment and on people.  

Yours,

James White
