Well, the one good thing about a rainy day is that I have the time to update the blog...
Over the past couple of days, we have been busy setting up the athletic fields. One job that is quite possibly the worst is installing the "fence topper" to the baseball and softball fields. We were very fortunate to have the help of Joe and our athletic equipment manager Mike Herron. Without them it could not have been completed.
The pat few days have kept us busy. With spring athletics underway, we are back to doing our normal field maintenance. We have yet to drop any mowers, but the reels are on and are ready to go. We painted lines on field I (Nolan Field) for boys lacrosse. JV will have to utilize that field until we have the sod grown in on field E. We have also topdressed the skinned areas with Turface to condition the infield. It makes for such a better playing surface.
Today we get to test the skin tarps with the rain. Our hopes are to pull them off tomorrow and be ready for play in the afternoon. If it works it will prove to be a great investment.
Today also sees the finsihing touches on some equipment maintenance. The beverage cart will be up and ready to go for the first set of games.
The EA-Grounds blog is to allow the EA community to track the progress of the grounds work here on campus. It will show photos of field work, tree work, and have some tips for the EA community regarding care of the plant material here on campus
