Rturf
I’ve been doing some teaching, or demonstrating, how I use R software for data analysis in turf-related matters. See the full list of rturf posts. The initial project is about stimpmeter measurements and ClipVol.
Sand topdressing measurement by exact methods
There are a lot of reasons to apply just the right amount of sand topdressing. Too much is no good, and too little is a problem too. The starting point with figuring out the right amount of sand to apply to your turfgrass is to know exactly how much you’ve been applying.

A behind the scenes look at soil testing
Soil testing is amazing. Many critical parameters can be measured on a small sample. The test results can then be used to improve turfgrass performance, adjust soil pH, apply necessary fertilizers, and much, much more.

Turf video playlists
I’ve been adding new videos to the ATC YouTube channel and as I’ve done that a lot of the videos fit nicely into playlists. If you haven’t checked these out yet, I recommend doing so.

New seminar section on the website
There was a time when I habitually made seminar handouts as web pages.1 Then I stopped doing that. From about 2015 I was posting seminar slides on my SpeakerDeck account. But I haven’t been doing that for a couple years, and I now generally make a video screencast of a presentation if I really want to share it.

Key moments automatically added on videos
Some videos on the ATC YouTube channel have chapters—timestamps—that I have added for different topics. I haven’t done that for all the videos, but it is really cool that YouTube has identified some of the topics and added the timestamps automatically.
