Instructor: Ted Moriarty A successful installation or renovation project depends on determining the best and most feasible course of action to take. This requires making decisions in the field regarding three key elements – sprinkler pressure, spacing, and flow based on the manufacturer’s specifications. This leads to good distribution uniformity and therefore conserving water while keeping the plants healthy. This class will address the fundamental hydraulic principles supporting these three important elements, with an emphasis on spacing and nozzling. Part 1 of the class will focus on choosing the proper nozzles and spacing given existing site conditions that may require “out of the box” solutions. Part 2 will address difficult areas which need to be irrigated with the goal mitigating water waste, such as overspray. New techniques using different approaches for mixing and matching different irrigation equipment will be covered.

Instructor: Scott Knowles Comprehensive cashflow management is difficult for small fast-moving companies. Unless absolutely necessary it’s not worth the cost and time for most Green Industry businesses. However, all business owners/operators must have an eye on their cash position so the company can function smoothly. Using the Current Ratio is easily utilized to gauge your cash position, is fairly easy to calculate, will tell you where your cash situation is now, and give you benchmarks to strive for in the future. This course will help a business owner define the Current Ratio and what the numbers tell you. The course will also explore tactics to improve your ratio and avoid cash-traps.

Instructor: Keith Schweiger Knowing how much rainfall was received over an irrigated lawn can be a critical component to increasing the efficiency and conservation of irrigation water. Determining what rainfall data is reliable and relevant for a specific site has always hampered its effective use in managing the irrigation system. Whether the rainfall data comes from the internet, weather stations, or tipping rain bucket devices, the water manager must know it is accurate to apply it to an entire site. This course discusses real examples and shares some practical experience of using rainfall data to help the stakeholders of a property choose the solution that best fits the site’s management requirements.
