Jack Higgins and Joel Simmons, two passionate agronomists, sat down and shot the breeze on some of their favorite topics. First up was the cold, wet spring that many areas of the country are battling—and one superintendent's struggle to get his Zoysia grass to green up in the chilly conditions.The conversation turned to rhizophagy, a fascinating and increasingly popular subject in the regenerative agriculture world. Rhizophagy refers to a symbiotic relationship between soil microbes and plant roots, where microbes enter the plant, deliver nutrients, and are then released back into the soil to begin the cycle again.Next, they dove into soil humification in sports turf and how more and more turf managers are recognizing the importance of biological soil management.When Jack and Joel get together, the conversation is always lively, entertaining, and packed with insights.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/
What a treat it was to walk and talk with Olee on what might be the most beautiful lawn in America. There are U.S. Open golf courses that would envy his uninterrupted, three-acre pure stand of turf-type tall fescue, mowed at a pristine 3.25 inches. As we strolled, Olee shared stories about soil building and broke down his annual fertilizer plan. He keeps it simple, stays consistent—and the results are out of this world!Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

Each year between the holidays we run a “Best of” podcast where we choose one guest from each of our three podcast hosts and share a piece of the podcast recording. It is always a challenge to choose what we call “the best” when each week we have an informative and fun guest who is passionate about turf. So to all of our guests we say thank you because you all have made the EarthWorks Podcast one of the most listened to in the industry. For the “Best of” we have chosen the Jack Higgins interview with our friend Pat Quinlan from Fairmont Country Club in New Jersey. Jack's podcast was recorded early in the season, not long after the GIS Trade Show. The second segment is Kevin Hicks' recording with Turf Technology Consultant, Benton Hodges. Kevin, a self-proclaimed luddite, had a blast talking about AI and other technologies that are up and coming in the turf industry. Finally, Joel Simmons had a chance to meet Golf Course Architect Jim Nagal at the US Woman's Open at Lancaster Country Club and sat down with him for a very special podcast.

At the end of each year the EarthWorks agronomy team gets together for the last podcast of the year. Kevin Hicks, Kirk Castner, Jack Higgins, Joel Simmons and newcomer Marshall Evans go around the table talking about the events of the year, the weather, and some ideas that we have formulated throughout the turf season. It was hot and dry in most corners of the country, even more so in the east and south than the west but it was a tough year all around. Of course, we talked about the many successes that we saw and bounced around some ideas that can make any turf manager's life easier. As research and experience have shown us, a dry hot summer can lead to fairy ring problems the following year. Carbon and soil biology is always on our minds, and we discussed it often in this five way conversation. This a relatively short podcast but is full of the fun and informative information you've come to expect from this crew. Everyone at EarthWorks thanks you for all the wonderful support. You have made the EarthWorks Podcast one of the most successful podcasts in the industry. We wish you, and your families, a wonderful holiday season and hope you can enjoy some time off.

Jack Higgins and Joel Simmons take some time out from a busy travel schedule to share their thoughts as we hit the midsummer point of 2024. They talked about some of the great golf tournaments we have had a chance to participate in this year, about some horrible weather conditions that we are seeing, and some ideas to fight your way through these conditions. As with any mid-season review, and especially this year's, we talked about how we are seeing sodium and bicarbonates building up in clients' soil audits and the potential harm that will do to turf quality. One solution that is really taking shape is the use of KVantage in the spray tank. The available potassium is showing great promise in keeping potassium in the plant and buffering out sodium which helps to slow down sodium induced wilt stress. As always we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs while creating this podcast, but we did cover a lot of valuable ground when it comes to getting through the rest of the season.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.comPodcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

Our friend and very first podcast guest, Josh Saunders, Director of Golf at Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania is hosting this year's US Women's Open. It has been years in preparation, hundreds of hours of planning, including course renovations, team building and turf management. All that work has culminated in a course that is ready for a major tournament. Jack Higgins and Joel Simmons were there and were set up to record interviews with Josh and his team, and as many of the volunteers as possible. The results were enthusiastic, exciting conversations with turf managers who were up early, working late, tired, but very proud of the work they were doing. The team starts each day at 3:30 am, they work to get the course ready for play until about 6:00 am just in time for the first tee times. Then it's time for breakfast and a team meeting. Afterwards the volunteers head back to the hotel for a little down time and some sleep. At 4:00 pm they arrive back at the course for dinner and another team meeting and receive their evening assignments that last until well past dark. We asked a bunch of Josh's team members and a few volunteers and about their experience. We talked about their job assignments, the friends they made and the overall experience. Everyone shared their thoughts about how beautiful this golf course is and how ready it is to host a major golf tournament. If you ever wondered what it's like to participate in the management of a major golf tournament this podcast will answer that question.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/
Coming to you directly from the 2024 US Women's Open at the Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster Pennsylvania! What a great opportunity, and pleasure, to speak with Josh Saunders, the hosting superintendent, and his former mentor, Pete Wendt, from Congressional Country Club to talk about what it takes to get ready for a major championship tournament. We sat down a couple of hours after Josh was able to see the start of tournament on Thursday morning, which marked the culmination of over two years of hard work. Jack Higgins and Joel Simmons had a chance to hear about what it takes to pull off something of this magnitude. Josh talked about the challenges of managing a team of 120 volunteers and staff to make sure that they were ready for the week. It was clear that Josh was excited to have Pete and other fellow superintendents stop by to support him as he hosts his first major championship. A great conversation among old friends, and a real insight to the behind the scenes of the US Women's Open.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

Jack Higgins has been the Northeast Agronomist with EarthWorks since 2009. In 2020, when Covid first hit, we were concerned about staying in touch with clients and it was Jack who suggested the idea of starting the EarthWorks Podcast. Today, the podcast team of Jack, Kevin Hicks and Joel Simmons has recorded over 200 podcasts and reached thousands of turf managers and friends. In this podcast we hear Jack's story and learn about his time at St. Andrews Golf Club, Penn State and Lehigh Country Club. Those who know Jack understand his passion for biological soil management, greens keeping and watching turf managers succeed. Be sure to check out some of his reels found at https://www.instagram.com/earthworks4home/reels/, the company's eCommerce residential division, to enjoy more of Jack's trademark style and sense of humor.

We are very excited to announce that the EarthWorks Podcast has reached its 200th Episode! This project was started in 2020, at the beginning of COVID, when we weren't sure how we were going to be able to stay in touch with clients and friends. Jack Higgins, one of our hosts on the EW Podcast, came up with the idea and we never looked back. As we celebrate our 200th episode, we have close to 1000 listens every week, and our archives are constantly being searched and older episodes are being found and enjoyed multiple times. Our goal was simply to help our clients tell their stories, many of which have been very successful using Biological Soil Management, others are just good friends of the industry. Everyone has a story and if that story helps just one turf manager discover a better way to manage their property than all the work we put into it is well worth it. This week our three podcast hosts are being featured and have invited one of their favorite guests to join them for a short thank you. Joel invited Glenn Smickley, the General Manager of the California Golf Club, who he credits for much of the success of EarthWorks. Kevin met with one of our most popular guests, Dave Wilber, Turfgrass Consultant Extraordinaire and they talked about construction projects in the turf industry. And, last but never least, Jack brought back one of our favorite Lawn Care Operators, Jay Lo Monaco from Paul's Best Lawn Service where Jay shared his story of how carbon based fertility changed his business model. We can't thank everyone enough for listening to the EW Podcast and Turf Talk over these past few years.

“If we're not talking about drainage, then we're not having the right conversation.” This has been the mantra for our guest, Pat Quinlan, as he's developed the long range plan with the members at Fairmount Country Club. Fairmount borders the Great Swamp National Refuge in northern New Jersey, and as you can imagine, managing soil moisture is the key to success at this golf course. Pat is a great conversationalist. Beyond telling many great stories about his career and path to Fairmount, Pat discusses the many projects underway on the golf course. From internal drainage in greens and fairways to a new capillary concrete bunker rebuild, Pat's focus is on the member experience.

A constant curiosity and deep love for plants seem to be at the root of Blooming Beds' success. However, in talking with the owner and entrepreneur Wayne Jackson, it is evident that his intelligence and business acumen that are the engine driving the success. Wayne uses the phrase, “extract the full ornamental value from the plant.” That is something that is easy to say, and in merely thinking about the subject, one might assume that any living plant is providing full ornamental value. In reality, extracting full value takes knowledge and effort, and that is what you can expect from this conversation!Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/
