It’s the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the Stadium and Bronco Hill fields are set to go! (more…)

Now in the middle of summer, we have attempted to reseed bare spots with scattered success, and most of our fields are suffering from the excessive heat and disciplined irrigation settings. So we have discovered that to prepare our fields for the fall, a more aggressive irrigation schedule is needed. The following settings have been programmed for the five fields the Booster Club maintains:

These were built on the previous settings, with the major change being that  a daytime “spritz” allotment has been programmed into each field on a 5-day per week basis, more or less. This schedule will be in effect until just before school starts again.

If you have any questions, or concerns, please let Jim Hartley know at 987-8373 or jhartley07@gmail.com.

The new settings are in place. With this plan, which requires irrigation during specific hours, only three days per week, the Field of Dreams fields will use approximately 50% of the water that might be applied in a normal year. (more…)

The third straight year of drought has mandated restrictions on water use through the summer - what will this mean for the fields we worked so hard to build and maintain? (more…)

Look soon for a page on this site to see when mowing, aeration, and fertilization are planned. The intent of this schedule will be to coordinate use, irrigation, mowing and field use as one or more of these should not happen at the same time.
