This past weekend the J&D Turf Crew was at Zionsville HS installing FieldSaver 50 amendment on the baseball and softball fields. The fields were very soft coming out of winter due to 2 factors. An absence of the correct sand sizes and the lack of clay in the existing mix. So, enter FS 50 amendment.
The first photo simply shows the pile of FS 50 in the parking lot at ZHS
The next 2 photos below shows the adding of the FS 50 into a topdresser and topdressing the FS 50 on the softball field. It is critical to add the FS 50 with a topdresser
The next photo below show the softball infield with one pass of the blecavator on the back arc. When using the FS 50 product it is critical to blec the material into the existing infield to a 3-4 inch depth.
After blecavating and rolling the infield, the nest step is laser grading. A photo of Tom on the laser grading is below
The photo below is after the laser grading is complete. This is before the addition of calcined clay
