Dragging
Your Baseball Field Turf |

Step
seven in baseball field turf maintenance is to drag the turf to mix in
the seed and topdressing |
| |
|
| |
| What
you're going to do Now
that the field has been aerated, the cores have sat for a while, a topdressing
application has been completed and seeding has been done, these materials
must be blended and forced into the aerification holes for maximum benefits.
This is best accomplished
by dragging the field.
Why you do
this
This forces the materials
into the aerification holes and the turf.
How you do this
Slowly drag the entire
field with a mat drag.
Tips
- Go slow. A small
hand drag works well for the infield.
- A larger drag
can be pulled by a small riding mower or tractor on the outfield.
- Note that this
is the same drag you use to drag the dirt.
Mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake
I see is folks afraid to run the infield dirt drag across the grass. It
will be OK. The grass is not hurt by doing this. |
