Sheep Experiments On Canals At Sunnyside Project
The National Irrigation Journal reports a plan to use a flock of five hundred sheep to keep Sunnyside project canal banks weed free this season. The sheep will cover the area three times, then be fed white clover and blue grass. A similar method has worked in Washington Park Chicago for years, keeping turf in good condition and reducing park maintenance costs. The close cropping by sheep may strengthen root growth and stabilize canal banks.
