STMA Conference 2013

This year the STMA conference was held in Daytona Beach, Florida. This year it only took us 11 hours to get to the conference, versus the three days it tooks us to haul equipment out to Long Beach. We started preparing about 6 months before the show, but still managed to wait until the last minute to get a few things done. It's amazing that when you have a whole year to prepare for something, you still wait until the last minute. We were excited to see other vendors and some of our customers. STMA did a great job putting on the show and we look forward to next year!STMA Innovative Product of the Year.

Did you know that adding more seed in midseason can help lessen wear and tear on Bermuda grass turf? This is exactly what Paul Patterson of the University of Alabama Huntsville does to help keep their softball field in pristine condition throughout the season. Paul also shares a few other tips to help get your field looking good all season long.It is always a challenge keeping an athletic field in top condition, here are some of the practices we use at UAH on our softball field to accomplish that. We overseed each fall with 16lbs of rye per 1000 square feet. During the season we add 2 lbs per 1000 more in mid March. Adding more seed in midseason helps fill in worn high traffic areas and lessens wear and tear on the Bermuda grass turf.
