Superintendent Todd Lime’s Willingness To Try Soil Oxygen Product Agriox Helped Keep His Course Looking Its Best Despite the Summertime Demands of High Temperatures and Heavy Traffic
October 13th, 2008
When the heat of mid-July started to stress our greens this year, a few of the high-traffic walk on areas 
started to show signs of black layer developing. I’m the type of guy that likes to stay on top of new techniques and experiment around the golf course, so when a sales representative that I trust recommended we apply Agriox to increase the oxygen in our soil and offset the anaerobic conditions, I went ahead and put it out. At first you couldn’t tell if it was having an effect, but after two weeks even the worst areas began to make a recovery. Before long it was clear it was working because the grass was looking healthier all over. Anything that can help put oxygen into your soil is a benefit, and so we plan on sticking with the maintenance program and will be looking at some of the other Geoponics products as well.
