Kevin Mercer has been in the turf management industry for over two decades and has worked on golf courses, sport fields, schools and universities. He has been a good friend to EarthWorks for much of his professional career and a true steward of the environment. Kevin recently released a new book, Environmental Solutions for Grounds Management, which is available for purchase from Amazon and other book retailers. The book focuses on three areas of grounds management: stormwater management, biodiverse habitats, and carbon fertility and composting. Any grounds or turf manager would benefit from this publication. Kevin reviews the book section by section and shares with us his insights and motivation for writing the book. Kevin has always had an understanding of the important role that grounds managers play in the impact of the environment in their communities. We talked about the success that his horticultural practices have had on the recruiting of new students at the schools he has managed. His new book is a road map for any grounds manager who is interested in biological soil management and environmental stewardship. Take a listen and pick up a copy of the book, it will give you some practical ideas to improve any turf and grounds management operation.
