Frank Rossi and I discuss what I've called my "least favorite experiment ever"

Frank Rossi from Cornell University joined me to discuss an experiment he conducted (and I helped with a little bit) in the early 2000s. We discuss the performance of the control treatment, fertilizer choice, sustainability, and take home messages from the experiment.

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.
