Botanical walks, ecoregions, and MLSN for lawns with Maggie Reiter

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Maggie Reiter joined me to reminisce about the grasses one can find at the back of the 7th green at Pebble Beach Golf Links, to consider soil test results for lawns, what the biggest problems are on lawns and whether solutions exists, and much more.
