| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses thestandards for silt to clay ratios in infield skin mixes, low-budget mixes, and "what questions should readers ask of their material suppliers to help get the best results?" Provides several recommendations from industry professionals, including "[to manage] a low budget infield skin the most important thing is to have a well balanced soil and identify how much time you will have to maintain and if you will be able to water it." Recommends that "the supplier should try and get an idea of their client's expectations and make sure they are aware that no matter if the mix passes these requirements it will not take care of itself." Notes that "the physical properties of quality skinned infields at the professional level and the maintenance required to manage them are vastly different than those of recreational fields." States that "one of the biggest misconceptions with infield mixes is that they must drain." |
