The EW Podcast - Kevin Hicks and Jack Higgins - The Case for More Diversity

September 10, 2026·1h 2m
Episode Description from the Publisher

For the first time, Kevin Hicks and Jack Higgins sit down for an EarthWorks Podcast of their own, and the conversation covers a lot of ground. They compare East Coast and West Coast turf challenges, from drought and water restrictions to changing turfgrass selections, mixed-species stands, bunker construction, irrigation investment, and the growing importance of managing the entire property rather than just the most visible areas.The discussion also turns heavily toward soil biology, mycorrhizal networks, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and what those systems may tell us about building healthier, more efficient root zones. Kevin and Jack share thoughts on fall aerification, seeding, Myco-Replenish 3-3-3, Ecolite, Sea3, K-Vantage, and using the fall season to rebuild turf after a difficult summer. They also offer a glimpse at some of the changes underway at EarthWorks, including advances in soil testing and compost production.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ EW Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/
