Whilst the maintenance of artificial grass is minimal when compared with real grass, proper maintenance is paramount in ensuring a long lasting, high performing artificial turf.

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid- Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now. [3] I disagree that the top sentence of this post was not an answer, when the question asks if there are " any other possibilities aside from the rhyming slang version above?", and I gave exactly that: another possibility. Grasses (Poaceae) are one of my favourite botanical illustration subjects. I adore drawing and painting them. I have written a blog on my passion for this family of plants before. However, I wanted to take another look at the way grasses are put together. I also want to introduce beginners to basic grass anatomy and terminology. This will help you start to understand these glorious and diverse plants. I can't comment yet, and I'm not sure if it's acceptable to respond to comments below, so if not I guess it can be edited or removed.

The process of pushing liquid plastic through a fixed cross-sectional profile, that is then cooled to form the necessary fibre shape required. This process can be used to form a variety of fibre shapes including ‘W’ or ‘C’ shaped synthetic fibres. Now and again, we use some technical terms in our guides, so we thought it would be a great idea to share our top ten most used and tell you just exactly what they mean, right here, right now! Involves cleaning, removing debris, reinvigorating the fibres and topping up sand infill as necessary.

Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover rooves, and to weave baskets.

The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else". Drawing a plant is one of the best ways to begin to understand it. I hope this crash course in grass anatomy will help. Anatomy of Grass: Overview of the Plant If you’re interested in learning more about British and European grasses, there are some really good reference books out there. The “bible” of grasses is C.E. Hubbard’s Grasses; Colour Identification to the Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns of the British Isles by Francis Rose, Collins Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns of Britain and Northern Europe by Fitter, Fitter and Farrer. You could also take a look at Collins Flower Guide by Streeter although it’s rather arrogant of me to suggest this as the grasses plates were all completed by me (with a great deal of help from David Streeter!)

The culm of a grass has “knees”, these are known as nodes. These nodes might be at a bend in the culm, or just on a straight run of the stem. The culm tends to be swollen at the nodes. They may be hairy or smooth, depending on species. This bending at the nodes is known as genticulate growth. Some people confuse grasses with sedges and rushes; remember that grasses are the only one of these groups which can “bend at the knees”. The magazine Detective Story even ran a serialised story entitled The Snake In The Grass throughout 1925, so it's probable that the term appeared in other American crime fiction of the time; perhaps even some films. To grass in British slang is indeed to inform on a person to the authorities; a grass is an informer. The noun starts to appear in print in the 1920s and the verb a few years later. We’ve since had grasser in the same sense; in the 1970s supergrass appeared for a police informer who implicated a large number of people at one go.

The experts are instead favourably disposed towards another slang term, to shop. This dates from the sixteenth century, when it meant to imprison (it comes from the noun shop, which in low slang then referred to a prison). By the early nineteenth century it had taken on the sense of providing the evidence by which a person was sent to prison, hence inform. A grasshopper might therefore have more obviously been a shopper, not a copper. Shopper begins to be recorded in the sense of an informer around the time grass starts to appear.
