News Flash! North Korea Invents Grass!
The Institute of City Management of the Democratic Peopleâs Republic of Korea has bred a new species of turf. It, a variety of the short golden turf, is very popular among people. Yumm, tasty! It grows only 6 centimeters so that it does not need to be cut. The new species spreads its stalks and leaves more than four times as fast as other species of the golden turf. With nodes shorter than other species by a half, the new species strikes so many roots to cover the soil and thus prevents soil from being washed away by rain. Its thick leaves keep the soil moist, so they remain green even in the dry season. And it comes back to life easily. The color of the turf and its seed is light green, which resembles a green carpet. The color remains unchanged by November. Be great for all those North Korean golf courses, if they had any. The turf has been planted on Yanggak Islet and in different parts of Pyongyang. Lunch is now being served. Posted by: Steve 2004-03-16 |
