The objective of this project is to determine the                          feasibility of a novel system for producing grass sod using                     organic wastes as a substitute for topsoil.  In this system,                    the grass seed is germinated in organic waste spread over                       polyethylene film.  When ready for harvesting, the sod may be                   rolled like carpeting leaving the polyethylene sheet in place                   for the next crop.                                                                   The proposal leading to this Phase I award was submitted                   in response to NSF Program Solicitation 87-8, Small Business                    Innovation Research.  The concept was evaluated, if found to be                 technically feasible, would utilize the resource potential of                   otherwise wasted materials, conserve topsoil, water and                         fertilizer, and improve the efficiency with which sod is                        produced.
