What's the deal with the variance parameter in the growth potential equation?

This discusses how changing the variance value in the turfgrass growth potential equation will change the shape of the curve as one moves away from the optimum growth temperatures. I also demonstrate a new feature in the Restream software I use to record.

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.
