Biological Soil Management is a “soil first” agronomic philosophy that relies on carbon based fertilizers to feed needed microbial populations. The sports turf industry can be tough on the soil when there are forty thousand set of feet running over the golf greens or dozens of sports teams playing up and down the field. Biological Soil Management starts by first balancing the soil chemically so that it can physically open up, this allows air and water to move through the soil profile. When we have air in the soil, and we feed the soil microbes available forms of carbon, the soil starts to blossom.
In this podcast we revisit four separate podcasts featuring three clients and our chemist, Lawrence Mayhew, to discuss why we use carbon in our soil programs.
