P fertilizer & Poa, the #MLSN time issue, and #ClipVol annual totals

In this episode, I discuss sixteen year old bentgrass greens that have also gone sixteen years without  P fertilizer. The greens are also free of Poa annua. Then I discuss how fertilizer recommendations made from soil tests are a lot more precise if the time duration over which the fertilizer is being recommended is considered explicitly. And I explain why, when measuring #ClipVol, you will get value from annual totals too.

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.
