The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Grass growth varies by season. And a common question is "how much should I expect my grass to be growing?"

This is a discussion of my blog post on sand topdressing amounts over five years, and how it happens that the five year total is actually less than I once recommended by applied in routine maintenance in a single year.
