ATC Office Hours

About ATC Office Hours

I discuss technical turfgrass topics with turfgrass managers, scientists, greenkeepers, and whoever drops by the office hours. There's a lot of talk about the work done to create playing surfaces for golf, and also about growing grass for sporting surfaces of all sort, and also some talk of lawns.

   Autumn #OM246 review: 7 year timeline with Chris Tritabaugh

   Chris Tritabaugh and I share and comment on the latest #OM246 test results from what is now a time series stretching over the past seven growing seasons. We discuss what has changed, what hasn't, how surfaces perform, and how total organic material (TOM, or #OM246) data can be used to nudge surface conditions in the desired direction.
