I am happy to say that the purchase of the skin tarps for the baseball and softball fields was a great idea. We had the laser-grading and edging completed earlier this winter and then we covered the skinned areas. When we took the tarps off yesterday, the playing surface was perfect after a few spins around with the groomer. The moisture content was right where we wanted it to be. After looking at the weather report... I thought we were going to have a quick light shower in the morning today. Little did I know that it was going to rain all day. Needless to say the tarp is not helping us rolled up on the tube.
The fields will be open today and ready for the first practice of the spring season. In my four years here at EA, this will be the first time at the start of the spring season where the teams are out on the first day.
We are continuing our search to fill the groundskeeper position. We are hoping to have it filled by Friday of next week.
Joe and Mike are doing some finishing touches to the equipment today. Joe is working on his water tank and compost tea brewer. Mike is working on the mowers. He is busy attaching the reels to the our two units.
Next week we will hope to get the fields lined and start mowing and applying our first fertilizer.
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
