Ten posts no one read in 2024

I’ve shared the posts from 2024 that got the most views. Then there are these 10 that got the fewest.

For reference, the median post in the top 10 got 754 views in 2024. The median on this list only got 74!

Part of the reason for few views may be a lack of interest in the topic. But it may also be the time of year or time of day when I published this, or perhaps it’s a poor title or a boring thumbnail image that didn’t draw much attention.

When you see this list, you might find one you missed the first time around. Or you may have more time now to have a quick read of these.

Here they are, counting down from number 10 to the post with the fewest views in 2024.

[10] November, Converting clipping volume to dry weight is one that you should be aware of. It’s useful to be able to make this conversion.

[9] March, An example of ample DLI is yet another example of temperature being the controlling factor for growth of cool-season grass in a way that light is not. I have written about this at length, and will continue to, or will refer to this and other posts on the topic, until the questions slow down.

[8] November, Sand in clippings also answers a common question, and explains why I recommend volume for rapid and routine clipping measurement instead of mass.

[7] June, Reconstructing soil P from “disassembled” soil samples is one that I quite enjoyed, and one that I continue to work on.

[6] October, Seven minutes of outstanding contributions is a nice one about the GCSAA’s 2025 Outstanding Contribution Award recipients, Drs. Larry Stowell and Wendy Gelernter.

[5] October, Top ATC2x episodes is one of those that I like to put together to check the statistics about something, but these types of posts tend to be of niche rather than of general interest.

[4] November, Reel Turf Techs podcast was an announcement of my appearance on the show. Also has a pretty cool photo of fairway mowing in 2010. Definitely want to have all those cutting units set up the same.

[3] December, The Indian Ocean tsunami and Tublamu Navy Golf Course has grass info and a link to an article I wrote for Golf Magazine about the tsunami and what happened at the Tublamu Navy Golf Course in 2004.

[2] November, The questions I ask introduces the Turf Without Borders podcast, the latest addition to the ATC podcast network. I ask a standard set of questions at every course I visit. Now it’s a podcast.

[1] December, The Talking Greenkeeper’s holiday extravaganza was only on the site for 11 days. If we were to rank this for views per day, this post would be one of the top ones! That’s what I’m going to tell Joe when we discuss this. I may also suggest that all publicity is good publicity.

You can have a look at the posting dates for these, and see that the DLI one from March, and the “disassembled” soil samples from June are the posts that really stand out. Everything else on this list was from the final three months of the year.
