Hi, thanks for the kind words. I don't follow the same process with the outfield, because of time purposes. I do a pretty generic overseed with a lot of shortcuts.
Great to see how this work is done on a sport field. That's allet would be a dream to operate let alone own it. Would like to use some of this processes on my home lawn.
Great work as usual. Love the new mower. Are going to put more seed on those bare spots? We are going to start doing our field on Nov 15th. Hopefully the weather stays warm and the prep goes well. Wish me luck.
Love what your doing man im a groundskeeper in goodyear arizona at the Cincinnati reds spring training facility we just started this process getting the fields ready
Do you keep your players off the field during the fall? We do fall baseball where we are and don't get done until the end of October. What type of grass do you recommend for cold climate areas? GREAT VIDEO!!!
Great job! Looking to do something similar for our high school field in Wisconsin. Right now, we have lots of weeds/crab grass growing on the infield, would you recommend spraying for weeds before you mow to 1” and dethach? You have this type of weed killer that supposedly kills the weeds/crab grass but not the actual grass. Thanks for the help!
I use Speedzone Southern for weeds, however it won't kill crab grass. I haven't found anything effective that will kill crabgrass, but not everything else.
have you ever heard of rhizome split aeration, also called other names depending what state you're coming from? They look like thin ninja stars instead of plug aeration. You cut the runners in two directions and they sprout out faster than over seeding "Bermuda Grass"
There was a lot of rocks in it, and it kind of clumped up and hardened up in spots. I actually found a few chards of class, which I couldn't believe. I had used it before last winter to level before SOD and it was great. In regards to the germination rate, that wouldn't be affected, but the Silica sand is so easy to work with, is perfect for leveling, never has any other material in it and it drains so well. The only downside is the cost.
What would be your suggestion for amount of seed needed to overseed a baseball infield and outfireld, roughly 2acres. We are trying to contract out as we are new coaching staff for our team, and we have received different amount numbers from 100lbs(from former head coach) to 400lbs. Do you have any suggestions?
This was a fantastic video but without a quality mic it was hard to understand and where music was added, Well, I had to give up on you demonstration. That was a disappointment because it could have been a classic tutorial.
