Andrew McDaniel (https://twitter.com/drumcturf) joined me as a special guest on this episode to talk about the extra hole at Kawana's Fuji Course (https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/best-extra-hole-in-golf/) and about tropical turf management at Nikanti GC in Thailand with #MLSN, #ClipVol, and #OM246 (https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/all-the-hashtags-in-a-tropical-climate/)

This is an obvious concept but the implications are complex. If soil organic matter accumulates more rapidly in young soils, and if one wants to manage soil organic matter most efficiently, then it makes sense to keep the soils in an older, rather than in a younger, state.

I discuss my visit to (and seminar at) the University of Florida, and consider whether soil organic matter content stability over time might be related to the inherent accumulation rate of said organic matter.

I discuss two presentations from the ATPI conference in Galway, Ireland, how one might think about soil "deficiencies" when doing soil test interpretation, and discuss my tissue testing manifesto.

I discuss tests for soil organic matter, and explain the distinction between those tests and a different kind of test for total organic material by depth. I also talked briefly about a new MLSN film.

• I discussed the "A Tale of Two Tests" blog post which describes the value of measuring soil organic matter (SOM) and also measuring total organic material by depth (#OM246): https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/tale-two-tests-soil-organic-matter/
