First time doing a poster here at @ASA_CSSA_SSSA. Come visit me at poster 1245 as I showcase my work titled “Leveraging phosphorus limitations and microbial bio stimulants for the establishment of non-sod forming Turfgrass species over plastic”.

Prefect example of "get as much OM as you get away with". 18-24% (w/w) in top 20mm is about the high score I find on Creeping Bent on cool season grasses in Scandinavia and still good greens. Rare, but possible.

Thank you @TuckahoeTurf for the awesome stabilized sod, Sidekick for the sidekick, and my amazing team of three. It was only 18 rolls but with the help of our equipment and team we got it done in about 4 1/2 hours. Not bad for some nerds!

@rbearssturf from @michiganstateu is helping North America get ready for the @FIFAWorldCup. The carpet-mat systems are an option for temporary renovations that provided quality ball rebound, but the next factor to investigate is how to handle thatch! #itrc2025

Roots!!!! 18 month mature, conventionally harvested sod, established in a sandy loam, transplanted to a sand based root zone and left to root for six weeks. This is the result. Shout out to Shaafsma sod farm and a beautiful thing called research :)

Had a great time participating in the harvest and install of @desertgreenturf sod into @SoFi stadium with the DGT crew. Unreal efficiency (10 rolls/7 minutes) and unmatched sod quality. I came, I saw, and I learned. Thank you, Nathan Cox for the amazing opportunity.
