About this listen

 I discuss technical turfgrass topics with turfgrass managers, scientists, greenkeepers, and whoever drops by the ATC office hours. There's a lot of talk about the work done to create playing surfaces for golf, and also about growing grass for sporting surfaces of all sort, and also some talk of lawns.© 2025 Asian Turfgrass Center Golf Nature & Ecology Science

    Autumn #OM246 review: 7 year timeline with Chris Tritabaugh
    Dec 1 2025

    Chris Tritabaugh and I share and comment on the latest #OM246 test results from what is now a time series stretching over the past seven growing seasons. We discuss what has changed, what hasn't, how surfaces perform, and how total organic material (TOM, or #OM246) data can be used to nudge surface conditions in the desired direction.
