Down and Dirty
by Patrick White

Long before the days of television gave us “Extreme Makeover,” sod was pulling off exactly that feat—totally transforming the look of a site in short order. It may be tempting to think that sod is magical; just lay it down, and what once was a mess of dirt and weeds will forever more be a lush bed of green grass. Not so fast.(continue)

Avoiding Hard Pans
by Rocky Womack

Greens need coring or aerating to keep them healthy. Golfers may not always appreciate the timing of coring, but they sing the praises of the greens and course superintendent when their ball rolls true on the surface. (continue)

Infield Maintenance
by Dan Bergstrom

The art of infield maintenance is focused on consistency. At all the baseball fields I’ve managed, I’ve always looked for the same kind of infield mix, testing out in the range of 60 percent sand, 20 percent silt and 20 percent clay. Those percentages aren’t the complete equation.(continue)

Worker Woes
by Jenan Jones Benson

With labor shortages and immigration and H-2A woes, it seems there is no end to the difficulties growers face in hiring workers. If you learn of a reliable source offering quality laborers at a reasonable cost, you likely would be interested, but be aware that a new wrinkle has emerged; those workers may not be who they seem.

Current Issue
Back to Work?
by Patrick White

The only good thing about being at the bottom is that there’s nowhere to go but up. Assuming that the forest products industry—hit as hard as any industry in the recent economic downturn—has indeed reached the bottom, then there’s hope for improvement. (continue)
