Wendy Bounds gets on the field at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, to learn how grounds pros make their "striping" patterns in the grass - and explores what tools homeowners need to achieve the same look at in their lawn.

I love striping my yard. It was challenging at first because depending on where the sun is it can be hard to see your lines. I’ve found that mowing with my roller in the early afternoon when the sun is almost behind my back is the best time to be able to see the patterns. Rye, fescue, and Kentucky Blue are great grasses for this effect

The Phillies use Kentucky Bluegrass and Rye .. absolutely the best 2 grass types to have this effect! Spot on man! Great comment!

It can easily be understood she is speaking of present day MLB. It was opened in 1912 and is the oldest park in the MLB. I am not a Red Sox fan :P

If the stripes are only seen from high above why would you stripe your lawn..?

@shoebert31 7 жыл бұрын

more noticeable from on a baseball field from high above

@alexk1682 7 жыл бұрын

aaron cupps not entirely true. They are very noticeable from the curb but relative to a birds eye view not as much contrast. Notice when they show the cover of the book, you can clearly see the patterns from nearly a standing elevation.

Fenway is not "the oldest baseball park in America." (0:19) It's just not. And why does she refer to a ballpark as a baseball park. I've been a Red Sox fan for about 40 years and I have never heard that term in my life. This from a Wall Street Journal reporter? I'm getting out 19 seconds in.
