Why I recommend annual soil testing for professionally managed turfgrass grown in sand rootzones
One of ATC's soil testing clients had soil pH drop from 6 to 4.8 on tee surfaces from 2019 to 2022, with no soil testing in the three years between. For sand rootzones, I prefer annual testing because it allows one to catch these changes and adjust before things change too much.
I discussed these blog posts.
