December-February 2024-25 temperature ranking since 1895-96 according to Prism climate data. Globally, this was the 2nd warmest Dec-Feb period, but the Contiguous U.S. was the outlier. Congrats!

December-February 2024-25 precipitation ranking since 1895-96 according to Prism climate data. Many more areas are in shades of brown/red than are in shades of blue/green.

Recently had an inquiry about this. N mineralisation estimates are made from soil organic matter (humus) test results. One does not use total organic material (#OM246) data for mineralisation estimates. These are two completely different tests.

So that podcast account has a couple glitches, but it did announce the new episode, and the replies to that post do show up as comments. I also take this chance to recommend the episode. It's all over the place, in a good way. #TurfAndTrains

Turfgrass Twilight Zone: "where warm-season grasses can be grown in summer but are not wholly satisfactory in winter and where cool-season grasses do well except in the summer"

The thumbnail didn't show up, so I'll get right to the point by sharing this chart from that post. You can find the #ClipVol range at which you get the desired green speed. #TurfHacks

Of the 61 new ATC blog posts in 2024, these 10 had the fewest views. I give them another chance here. Two in particular, one about soil test P and another about DLI in winter, are worth a look. #TurfReads

New post on the ATC website about the fixed rates of fertilizer that are common in research, and a growing realization on my part that grass demand for nutrients varies but the application rates don't.

New #ATC2x episode about pendulum swings in N supply and sand topdressing. Are #ClipVol, #TurfGvX, and #OM246 anything different? I suggest it will take some decades to find out, but I think they are. Also, industry veterans, historical N rates, & more #TurfHacks. https://share.transistor.fm/s/79b…

I was at DMK yesterday and took a few photos from Terminal 2. See my Instagram (www.instagram.com/asianturfgra...) for more photos, going back to 2006 before BKK opened. #TurfTourism #planespotting @pgrbill.bsky.social

Did you know it's easy to predict the maximum quantity of clippings produced for a known amount of N supplied? #TurfHacks #TurfGvX #ClipVol

This is 16 photos, and 1 map, and is a 6 minute read based on word count because I added a little commentary about each of the photos. #TurfTourism

This explains #MLSN: "No matter what kind of grass you are growing, or in what climate, the calculation of nutrient requirement using the MLSN guidelines has already accounted for 100% of the nutrients that the grass can use."

This post about organic material accumulation in sand rootzones of different ages has been pushed out of the top 12 posts on the ATC website. It's still a good bit of information to be aware of.
