Putting surface management, the turf speedo (growth ratio), & surprising results with T-Jay Creamer

T-Jay Creamer joined me to discuss bentgrass & Poa annua (bent-Poa) management with a surprisingly low annual N rate, almost no use of PGRs, and no aeration (other than occasional needle tining) for more than two years. The results surprise me, and they may surprise you too.

We discussed this blog post about the turf speedo: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/turf-speedo-looks-like-this/
