THIS WEEK’S FIELD THOUGHTS

There’s no doubt, the Beacon Puddle Sponge is one of the best ways to remove puddled water off your infield skin. That’s because it will not disturb the infield soil or topdressing material as you set the sponge in place to soak up the excess water. Using brooms and roller squeegees on your infield skin to push water off is a BIG NO-NO! As that water is pushed around it picks up infield soil and topdressing, which helps to develop low spots, and will drop that material off at the edge of the skin in the grass which quickly contributes to building lips. Those lips further impede water movement off the infield skin surface, often making puddling issues chronic…
