Topdressing by rote isn't the best way to do it, with Chris Tritabaugh
Chris Tritabaugh joined me to discuss sand topdressing, a long-running conversation we've been having with Dr. John Kaminski, the quantities of sand and N that are recommended vs. the amounts that seem to be required in modern turf maintenance, and much more.
We discussed this post from the ATC website about nitrogen, coring, and sand: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/i-was-surprised-to-read-this-about-nitrogen-coring-and-sand/
