Turf School Day Thirty-Two

This morning we had an agronomy class in which we talked about trees and turfgrass. How they compete for nutrients, water and how the trees are detrimental to the turf health because it blocks sunlight.
We then had an irrigation class that covered pump house construction. We talked about getting permits, pump house size and design, and how to plan the building process.
We ended the day with a soils class. We furthered our discussion on Nitrogen fertilizers. Today we talked about deficiency symptoms, how much fertilizer to apply, and how to determine plant needs.
