Milou and just throwing more black sand on the ice. Melt baby melt!

@GangsterofGods It was 2” deep of sand and rubber that was slowly infiltrated with clay over 5-6 years from home plate. I needed a tool that would not damage the turf but remove the material. Compressed air was the answer. Tines, knives, metal brushes were going to damage the turf.

@HoosTurf I’m guessing nap is just too deep. I’m a big fan of tools for the job. Instead of damaging hands. Other than a vibratory vacuum. Idk if those exist btw. lol.

Become a sports turf manager at a prestigious University they said. It’ll be fun!

@aMAYSingCam I can confirm I was in attendance.

@HoosTurf Hey I know where that is! ;) (think this is from 2012-2013 (when Jameis Winston was playing RF for the Noles)

@Cgustafson14 @mowdaddy53 Looked into top keeper 1001 yesterday. Great suggestion and one is on its way. You understand the square footage we are trying clean and refill in 2.5 days with 3.5 people, right?

@HoosTurf Grab a henko top keeper to break up the clay and infill, use power broom and vacuum to clean it up. Can also look into the Commerical floor cleaners that suck up the water @mowdaddy53 does that method

@motownmoron I do not listen to Morons ALOT!

@HoosTurf Maybe don’t listen to them next time 👍

@GangsterofGods Own one. No

@HoosTurf Won’t a power broom work. One that looks like weed eater. Buy a broom.

@Jhaut7 I am fortunate 100% of the time, grateful 90% and trying hard to be grateful 10% of my time.

@HoosTurf Still a cool job. Beats the hell out of some other jobs out there.

@mushroomlantern They did and it is! MOST of the time. 10% of the time you question life decisions.

im not sure anyone ever ever said this

@McCrackenZach Well spoken

@HoosTurf Work half as hard and make double gfym

@McCrackenZach I am happy for you, ZACH! Well spoken!

@McCrackenZach Exactly what do you do to earn some fiat to feed yourself?

@Internet009 Exhibition….its a good name.

@_Cody_Slaughter We were at 120 PSI with dropping down to a half inch valve and 30” pipe with no nozzle.

@HoosTurf Is that just compressed air? What psi? This would work well for a similar project I have .

@CardsSimp It likely would if it was wet and we used a metal brush. I still need the turf to appear somewhat intact. I questioned the abuse to the turf.

@HoosTurf Wonder if a construction sweeper would do it

@cscarrgo Six year old synthetic turf surrounding home plate at our baseball stadium that we cannot replace just yet.

@HoosTurf that's not real grass?

@CatholicPacman Well, I ate more than I wanted today if that is true.

@HoosTurf Microplastics

@motownmoron Morons, you know!

@HoosTurf I’m sorry but who has ever said this

Around the 145th Scott Stadium field prep.

Our Good Hands net might never get a break, but our grounds crew does 😌 @allstate @hoosturf  #GoHoos
