Five things to know about soil pH, and how to get the best fertilizer recommendations

I recommend keeping the soil pH between 5.5 and 8.5 when you are managing fine turfgrass. This episode explains why that is the recommended range, and also considers the recent GCSAA nutrient survey and the phenomenon of different N, P, and K application rates between those who soil test and those who do not.

What is The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods?

I discuss ATC blog posts, with supplementary information, stories, and the reasons why I thought the topic was worth writing about, and worth reading about. Thus, a doublecut of these topics. This covers grass selection, playability, and all the work done to create a certain type of turfgrass surface.
