Nic van den Bosch asked : "what Astroturf consists of" ? "AstroTurf is a registered trademark of Textile Management Associates, applied to a particular kind of artificial turf. The term is sometimes used as a generic description of any kind of artificial turf.
AstroTurf was invented in 1965 by employees of Monsanto and patented in 1967 under the name "Chemgrass." It was renamed AstroTurf after its first well-publicised use at the Houston Astrodome baseball stadium." source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AstroTurf ************ "Astroturf is made of nylon fibers which are five-eighths of an inch long stitched into a tightly woven mat." source : http://www.chuckiii.com/Reports/Miscellaneous/astroturf.shtml ************ Regards, Viateur _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
