| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Christ the King Cathedral School and Catholic Church in Lubbock, Texas, highlighting its expansion of practice space for sports. States that "the site was an open field featuring native grasses and uneven surfaces...With limited time before the practice season began, crews faced the final step in building a sturdy practice field that looked good and performed under extreme conditions." Explains that it was determined that "hydraulically applied mulch was needed to prevent soil erosion and aid in grass establishment" and mentions that "though the field surface was flat, [site workers] were concerned about impending rain events and wanted to be sure the hydromulch took to the soil." Discusses how "a noticeable glitch during the application process lead to initial concerns about how well the mulch would perform - the mulch was mistakenly applied at a rate of 2,500 lbs [pounds]/acre instead of the recommended 3,000 lbs/acre. But crews decided to wait it out and to be prepared to distribute a second application, if necessary." Concludes that "in addition to quick vegetation establishment, the use of HydraCM and seed was at least five to ten times less expensive than placing sod." |
