Using #OM246 test results to get net organic material accumulation rate

When you know the rate at which organic material is accumulating in the rootzone, you can adjust sand topdressing rates with more precision. You can also start to check how any changes in maintenance can have an effect on the accumulation rate.

The blog post discussed is this one: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/inexorable-rise-soil-organic-matter/

The Shiny app to calculate the accumulation rate is: https://asianturfgrass.shinyapps.io/om246/

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.
