Well it is official... I have successfully jinxed ourselves. We are taking the plows of the trucks today and you know what that means, it will snow. Well I hope not.
We are going to be doing our first fertilizer application today. We will be applying an Amonium Sulfate product at .75 pounds of Nitrogen per square foot. This will give the turf a good kick in the rear and allow us to start to get a nice "green up" for this spring. The fertilizer does not have any Phosphorous so as to follow the proposed state guidelines on fertilizer applications. Honestly, we do not need to apply Phosphorous because we can make what is in the soil available to the plant with the use of Calcium. We continue to groom the skinned areas of the baseball and softball fields for the practices and I will be searching for a mat to put down in front of the pitchers mound for batting practice. We are already starting to loose turf.
I promise to have some photos soon.
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
