THIS WEEK’S FIELD TIP
When you’re nail dragging your infield skin, make sure you stay away from the turf edge and remember to corner slowly.
It’s also important to stay at least 6″ away from from the turf edge. Dragging too close with your tractor can push material unnecessarily into the turf edge, creating a lip. The same is true for cornering too fast with your tractor — you’ll have less control and more material will be tossed into the turf edge forming a lip over time.
For more information about scarifying your infield, checkout the Scarifying the Infield Skin lesson at GroundskeeperU.com. Or, click here to watch a video demonstration of nail dragging.
