@DukeGroundsCrew I like the tractor set up you have it on. We need to find a smaller one like that and leave it on it @Tar_Heels_Turf

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

@CUSportsTurf @Tar_Heels_Turf .5 lbs for the quick release we put out yesterday.
Always shoot for 1lbs/1000 of N for the Lebanon - last about 10 weeks
For summer we shoot for 1lbs N / 1000 for the ATS - last about 5/6 weeks

Total for summer is about .25 lbs of N a week
Total for rye is about .15 a week

Commencement recovery has started with a verticut and aerification. A roll and some granular fert tomorrow @Tar_Heels_Turf

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

@bsully0587 @Tar_Heels_Turf Ran like a Cadillac even at native soil Finley fields today

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

@Sparertime @Tar_Heels_Turf Not typically but feel free to follow along to myself or @Tar_Heels_Turf and ask any questions you may have!

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

@CUSportsTurf @Tar_Heels_Turf Today we went with Yara 21-7-14 100% quick release to give it a jump while we have 90 degree weather. Also due for our regular fert program of Lebanon 20-0-25 100% slow and ATS 22-3-11 50% slow

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

It’s a good day! Thank you @bsully0587 and @smithturf!

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

Quite the learning experience! We’ll make improvements for the next field but can’t wait to see the results at football practice. Improved drainage, firmer, faster, leveled, and smoothed the transition back flat with the artificial surrounds are just some of the perks will see

[Drew Miller @drewmmiller2]

Practice Football looks a little different here at UNC. Fraise Mowed, Aerated, Top-dressed and put out some Fertilizer. Can’t wait to see the results here soon!

[Fleetwood @fleetwoodmac_32]

When solenoids go bad. Lessons learned but guys were a big help today to get playing surface firm to play tonight. @DuraEdge #bosh

@AlexisRogers130 @UNCFootball @CarolinaGreenCo @Tar_Heels_Turf Thanks! Hope all is well in cali!

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

Kenan Stadium is ready for some @UNCFootball! Smooth conversion back to a football field and all good to go to finish out spring ball. As always @CarolinaGreenCo knocked it out of the park

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

Going to be back ready for UNC Football before you know it! @earthworksturf triple 3 as a preplant then a roll and water right after it’s laid. GameOnGrass Tahoma in perfect condition from @CarolinaGreenCo

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

Field removal has begun at Kenan Stadium!

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

@UKsportsturf @Tar_Heels_Turf Haha very unusual for us here this early so we’re trying to make the most of it! Hope it stays for us and heads yalls way soon!

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

4 direction verticut and lowered the height to .400 on the half of the field not getting replaced. Looking to get as much sunlight into the canopy as possible. A week in the mid 90s will help a bunch to push the Bermuda! Back to football by Saturday!

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

@BananaBall_ weekend in Kenan was a blast! Great people to work with. Not only do they care about a great fan experience but also the experience of their host.

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

Laser grade and flood! Only some fine tuning left before the Bananas come to UNC

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

The process of going from gridiron to banana ball has started at UNC! The field at Kenan Stadium will look a bit different here soon

[Ryan Anderson, CSFM @Ryan_Anderson96]

One of the cool parts about this project is getting to test out different packing clays we haven’t used before on the mound and home plate. Would look to use these in our bullpens and at softball
