Witt, Wertheim speak about healthy lawns, waters on ‘Love Maine Radio’ show
Amy Witt and Frank Wertheim of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension were recent guests on “Love Maine Radio,” part of Maine Magazine. The episode, “Happy Lawns, Healthy Waters #243” explored the topic of healthy lawns, and their relationship with local waters and the ecosystem. “Without excessive irrigation and excessive fertilizer and pesticide inputs, you can still have a nice lawn,” said Wertheim, an Extension professor of agriculture/horticulture based in York County. Witt, a home horticulturist in Cumberland County, agreed with Wertheim and added “a healthy lawn starts with healthy soil.”
