Why soil samples should be air dried before sending to the lab

The procedures of soil sample collection and handling before sending to the lab are important. Reduce unknowns and variability in the test results by drying the samples prior to sending them to the lab. Also, collect samples to a consistent depth. And let the machines at the lab remove thatch and verdure.

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.
