Not only do I feel your pain, I know that these guys have taken a HUGE STEP forward asking you to help. Yes, you have to use that hose IF you want to protect against that lip and it is so anoying seeing someone turn a gator or other machine fast on the dirt throwing the "dirt' onto the lip. Then, they also dump the drag along the lip area. It drives me crazy. On an infield, "attention to detail is everything." Congrats on getting to do something that you will enjoy and that the public will take note of.
What’s most frustrating to me is that none of the things it takes to keep a ball field looking great is difficult or requires expensive specialized equipment. The problem is when you add up all the minutes it takes, it becomes a huge task. Not many people want to spend an hour detailing a field after they’ve just spent 3-4 hours preparing for and participating in a game.
I’m not real good with either taking pictures with the phone, transferring files, or getting them posted on-line so they can be seen but I’m gonna try to put up an example of what I’m going through with the “lips”. As many times as I’ve done it I’m still amazed at how that dirt piles up and how much of it there is.
