facilities and fields was a big step.<br />
"At our old training facility, we barely<br />
had drainage. It was clay soil with maybe a<br />
couple of inches of sand on top, and anytime<br />
it rained, we had puddles across the fields,<br />
which we called bird baths.<br />
"So, getting 10 inches of sand for our soil<br />
system was great, but having the SubAir and<br />
hydronic heating on top of that was the icing<br />
on the cake."<br />
Having these technologies in two of the<br />
three and a half fields is one thing, but<br />
controlling and monitoring them is another.<br />
After being introduced to <strong>Soil</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> and all<br />
it would do for the groundskeeping team,<br />
Andrew quickly utilised them across the site.<br />
"Over the years being in groundskeeping,<br />
my biggest positive is that I'm not afraid to<br />
try anything new technology or equipment<br />
based. I love the latest technology, trying it<br />
out, seeing what I like, and seeing if there is<br />
anything bigger and better out there.<br />
"Seeing what <strong>Soil</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> could do with<br />
SubAir and our hydronic heating was eyeopening<br />
– how they control and automate<br />
those systems together seamlessly, while<br />
watching the data, moisture and soil<br />
temperatures from wherever you are is a<br />
game changer.<br />
