| Abstract/Contents: | Provides tips from the Chicago Bears head groundskeeper, Ken Mrock, for winterizing turf fields. Suggests to aerify turf at the end of the season to potentially open up space for air and water to move into the root system. Advises repairing, reseeding, or resodding worn or damaged turf prior to winter to ensure the turf will come back healthier in the spring. Recommends using turf blankets to lengthen growing time in the early winter months and to promote earlier green-up in the spring. Suggests adjusting seeding options and fertilization timing by region. |
