In this video, I explore the findings of the research article “Tall Fescue Rooting as Affected by Deficit Irrigation” (HortScience, Volume 42, Issue 3). The study, conducted by Jinmin Fu, Jack Fry, and Bingru Huang and published June 1, 2007, investigates how reduced irrigation impacts the rooting behavior of 'Falcon II' tall fescue grasses using minirhizotron imaging.
I’ll walk through:
The study’s experimental setup using varying levels of evapotranspiration (20%, 60%, and 100%) Key findings such as the surprising increase in root length and surface area under severe water stress (20% ET) Practical implications for turfgrass management and water conservation strategies
Whether you're working in turfgrass management, water-efficient landscaping, or just curious about plant responses to water stress, this video unpacks the science and its real-world applications.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
