Toro was out this morning at HCC and used a protoype machine to test the 9th fairway. This machine measures soil salinity, soil compaction as well as volumetric water content in the soil. It is a tool to help superintendents determine inputs required in addition to seeing how efficient their irrigation system is. It would cost about $18,000 to do the entire golf course. However, since this is still being tested, there of course is no charge. I hope to have the results in 2 weeks.
