What's up Pete!! Keep on keeping on. Never realized there was so much hate out there for your success. This week I was called a GCI "cheerleader" for giving an honest review of your seed. I won't say this name, but he's down in Salisbury, NC. Update....I've been blocked from the Fescue Freaks page and wasn't gonna call him out, but Olee Poole is butthurt.

Looking great Pete! Have you ever considered using a tow behind top dresser or Utility vehicle mounted unit like is used on golf courses? While a bit of a learning curve at first, they are quite a bit more precise than dropping buckets of sand around the field... although really any method works.

@bradammons101 Жыл бұрын
Why would you use a regular mortar sand for leveling/topdressing? The clay and silt particles are way high in red mortar sand. You need a clean washed sand or you will eventually lock up the rootzone of the turf. You need a USGA quality Washed Fairway Sand or at least a washed White Mortar Sand for for sand leveling Bermuda. Yeah, dump trucks on playing surfaces are always a no go. Always been a fan and a subscriber to multiple guides. Best of luck with this part of your business.

Pete, I have two ball fields that I am maintaining. I am considering core aerating next week because of poor drainage. I then will be sand capping the fields (both infield and outfield) and then giving it a nitrogen app shortly after. Normal frost date is Nov 1st. Does that sound like a wise plan?
