| 1/12/26 | A blunt conclusion about coring | Scientific writing is not always as clear as this.

| 1/5/26 | If soil is above #MLSN, add only N? | This episode answers that question with how I recommend doing this. For today, we don't need to add N. But the soil nutrient levels decrease with time, we can predict how much the grass will use, and I make fertilizer recommendations looking into the future, rather than waiting to test again before making a decision to apply.

| 12/22/25 | Nutrient recommendations when clippings are removed vs. returned | When grass clippings are returned to the turf, the quantity of nutrients required as fertilizer is decreased.

| 12/10/25 | Soil nutrient values in units of "years of use" rather than units of ppm | The #MLSN method for nutrient recommendations involves an MLSN value that the soil is not supposed to drop below. But what does this value mean, when converted from the usual units of ppm (mg/kg) to how many years it would take grass to use that much of the element?

| 11/28/25 | How to make greens soft, and the opposite, making soft greens harder | This episode explains the steps I'd take to change greens from too hard (surface hardness and ball bounce, not hard as in difficulty) to just right.

| 11/24/25 | Sand quantity as depth, and a suggestion to measure sand application rates | Expressing sand quantities as a depth makes communication easier. But to know the depth, you need to know how much sand was applied to begin with. I've been surprised at how many turf managers don't know the exact amount applied. This short episode explains why I think you should measure sand amounts.Blog post discussed was https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/sand-topdressing-by-depth/Sand rate unit conversion calculator at https://asianturfgrass.shinyapps.io/om246/USGA video on measuring sand https://youtu.be/7tPilHP5QiAATC video on measuring sand by exact methods https://youtu.be/6LurONpyg5MRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/ | 24m 03s | ||||||
| 11/7/25 | The right rate for N and sand topdressing: how I do it | I explain how I answered a couple questions about how much N and how much sand a particular grass might require.

| 10/7/25 | Fertilizer quotes from Piper, Oakley, and Arthur, and #MLSN | Piper and Oakley wrote that "there is nothing mysteriously beneficial in their formulas" and that mixed fertilizers are "extensively advertised" but "are not to be recommended." Arthur wrote that soil testing is a "commercial gimmick" and that fine turf with clippings collected needs only "a little nitrogen in spring, no phosphates, and very little potash." I recommend an article I wrote that attempts to explain this in the context of #MLSN.Blog posts discussed are:- https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/very-generally-used-not-to-be-recommended/- https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/jim-arthur-mlsn-and-precision-fertilization/Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/ | 34m 16s | ||||||
| 10/1/25 | Turfgrass soil sample depth, and what a pesticide-free golf course looks like (photo gallery) | I explain why I recommend collecting soil nutrient samples to a 10 cm (4 inch depth). I also discuss the importance of repeated soil sampling in order to check the change in test results over time.
