The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Grass is alive (hopefully), so it uses nutrients. That means the nutrients in the soil go down over time. When using MLSN the way I do it, you'll make an estimate of how much the soil nutrients will go down, and from that you can get a site-specific fertilizer recommendation.

Grass uses nutrients, so we can expect the soil nutrient level to be lower tomorrow than it is today. By making a prediction of the decline in soil nutrient levels for a specific time duration, one can come up with a fertilizer recommendation that ensures the grass will be supplied with all the nutrients it can use.

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.
