More potassium than grass can use or the soil can hold has an inevitable result

When more potassium is added than the soil can hold, that potassium disappears. At least most of it does. This episode discusses research by Jackie Guevara at Michigan State University where this very effect was measured. The implication is, add a reasonable amount of K.

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.
