Many baseball and softball facilities take a back seat in late summer as fall sports take priority at the high school and
recreational levels. Many times, the ground staff will apply glyphosate
to kill/control unwanted weeds and grasses on infields and warning
tracks. Bottom line, if the decision is made to apply these products be
VERY CAREFUL with the application. Here are what infield edges looked
like at a high school I visited this week:
Needless
to say, these edges have been severely damaged. Sod will need to be
installed to re-set the edges. To avoid this, consider a couple
options:
1. Drag infields and warning tracks 2-3 times per week and edge fields at least once a month
2. Apply Sureguard after play to limit weed population. Click

Only when baseball players use rubber rings on the knobs of baseball bats is when they do not get little red spots on their hands from batting baseballs that they do not have to use corn blades to remove those little red spots from their hands because of hitting homeruns violently over the fences and walls. This is a taboo subject on the internet and that is really too bad that is never mentioned and shown.
