3 How did you learn to manage an infield skin?

4 The Apprentice 2010 JMBP, Inc. All rights reserved.

5 How do you measure infield skin performance?

6 In baseball we have forward running and side to side movements.

7 It s a Balancing Act Moisture Load Bearing Dry Damp Muddy Shear Strength Softness Stiffness Compaction Hi Traction Cohesion Looseness

8

9 MOISTURE

10 How do you know you have the right moisture content?

11

12 O H H

13 Attraction to Soil Gravity Surface Tension 4-12% Moisture

14

16 Water Infiltration Sandy Soil Clayey Soil

17 Infiltration Rates Sandy Soil Clayey Soil Time Depth Time 15 min hours 40 min hours 1 hour hours hours

18 Have you had any struggles managing moisture?

21 PARTICLE SIZE

22

23 Soil Particles, Your Infield s DNA Coarse Sand Rock/Mineral 2mm to.5mm Fine Sand Rock/Mineral.25 mm to.05 Clay Mineral Below.005 mm Gravel Rock Particles 2mm or larger Medium Sand Rock/Mineral.5mm to.25mm Silt Microsand.05mm to.005mm

24 SILT is a microsand particle similar to sand in shape has finer and smaller pores than sand retains more water, but is not sticky on its own

25 CLAY is a microscopic mineral particle shaped like a flake or platelet has the largest surface area and absorbs the most water has electromagnetic charge that causes attraction

26 Coarse Sand Medium Sand Fine Sand Silt and Clay

27 What is your ideal particle size?

28 Ideal Particle Size It Depends ASTM F Sieve # % Passing

29 +

30 Coarse Sand 35% Medium Sand 15% Fine Sand 20% Silt and Clay 15% 15% Silt-to-Clay Ratio = 1

31 Have you had any issues with mixes in different regions?

32

33 Parent Material Gives Infield its DNA Alluvial Stream Deposits..Arid..High Moisture and High Temperature (South).Grassland soils (Great Plains)

34 Parent Material Variation years of dealing with regional weather Coarse Sand 35% Medium Sand 15% Fine Sand 20% Silt and Clay 15% 15% naturally binding soil particles as long as key requirements are met higher or lower particle values can be acceptable

35 PROBLEM SOLVING

36

37 Have you amended an infield?

38 Replace or Amend Infield? Soil Particles Clay/Coarse Sand or Custom Amendment Helps get closer to ideal particle size Mineral Calcined Clay Reduces surface hardness and absorbs surface moisture Gypsum Increases infiltration in arid mixes Organic Stabilizing Agents Maintains damp soil consistency across moisture range and provides cohesion

39 Stabilizing Agent works into pore space

44 What type of infield mix do you have now?

47

48 THE SCIENCE OF SKIN INFIELDS

49 How would you minimize new construction headaches?

50

51

52 New Construction Tips Use compacted native soil base, no filter fabric. Dump infield mix in clean area, no contamination. Install new mix at 4 depth and laser grade ½%. Infield heads and hose connections save time.

53 Maintenance Reduces or increases stiffness Maintains level Manages moisture

54 Can you take us through your maintenance routine?

55

60

61

62

63 1. Measure infield performance by 3 scales: load bearing, shear strength & moisture 2. Damp soil consistency gives natural cohesion 3. Soil particles are infield s DNA & performance guide 4. Ideal particle size depends on you and parent material effects how mix weathers 5. Soil, mineral or organic amendments help infield 6. Types of available infield mixes are harvested, engineered, stabilized & waterless 7. Construct new infield 4 thick over native base 8. Maintain to achieve proper stiffness, keep level and manage moisture 9. USE THE ART, BUT UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE OF SKIN INFIELDS

64 Thank you for your time. Any questions?
