My current research is focused on organic lawn care and sustainable food systems. I am harvesting and fermenting the organic lawn clippings in vacuum bags to make silage. My first objective is to demonstrate that organic lawn clippings can be made into grass silage and that this material can be stored for winter livestock feed.
