The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Total organic material measured in the soil will include plant parts and thatch. Soil organic matter, on the other hand, excludes plant material. This episode discusses this distinction and shows the valuable information that can be obtained by measuring total organic material in addition to soil organic matter.

Show Notes

This episode is about soil organic matter (excludes plant material) and total organic material (like it sounds).

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.
