The Root Development Podcast

Doug and Kevin review the Rutgers turf event as well as Doug's relationship with Steel Green Manufacturing,

A big boy SGXL has been purchased and we will have both reviews and videos of this beast on the turf.

What a difference between June and July! Many states are getting record rains after extremely dry conditions in June.

We are seeing Dollar Spot and even more devastating turf diseases with the constant blade and soil dampness. Doug and Kevin talk about this and much more.

Both Kevin and Doug get 4-5 inches of rain on the east coast and they share their experiences with what they are seeing. They talk about turf disease as well as the quickly upcoming overseeding season!

This week we host Chris Stoudt of Stout Lawn Care. Chris and his partner started Stout Lawn Care about 4 years ago. The conversation starts right at the very beginning from when Chris was in the restaurant business and took his operational skills into the turf management field. Chris explains how they have quickly grown to their current size and he talks about their growth goals and how they will achieve them.

Wow, It is June already, how is this possible? Doug and Kevin dive a bit deeper into O2-YS as Doug was with Mark Nichols for a few days and Kevin is 3 weeks into applying O2-YS with his application two. They touch on watering and the absence of rain, moisture meters and other cultural practices that may help get us through our hot, dry weather so far this season.
