The construction of the new sports turf research area at the Iowa State Turfgrass Research Facility is going surprisingly well in spite of a very wet summer (See June 15 blog http://iaturf.blogspot.com/2015/06/nick-christians-june-15-2015.html). The area has very good surface drainage and pretty good subsurface drainage. Dan and Zach finished the irrigation system late last week and are in the process of settling the trenches and placing the sand on the sand-capped area.. On Friday of this week, Derek York of Bush sports turf will arrive to do the final grade. Seeding will take place this weekend if the weather cooperates. Stay tuned for further updates as the area is grown in.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this effort.
