Some things that people do when using/maintaining a field can drive you completely nuts.
For example, on an all dirt field, taking the drag up and over the mound which takes the infield cinder based dirt and mixes it with the mound clay while breaking down the mound with the weight of the cart/tractor.
What do people do that, while trying to make things better, messes up your field?

I can't stand it when people use sand as a cure all for a wet field. I know sand is in the mixture for making a field but I'm talking about the guys who throw sand on a damp area. You get enough sand on the field next thing you know you lose the firmness of the ground.

Well our city doesn't really do a lot to keep our field nice, everyone's too busy mowing the golf course so to make things easier they decided instead of having to chalk the lines in the outfield they'd just kill the grass along the foul line to make a permanent line. ugh.

AARRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!! Your exactly right! Nothing hacks me off more than when our guys stack buckets together that don't fit, thereby "welding" them together. Speaking of, does anybody have a good solution for separating said buckets?

Tell you what Ryno...you start outfitting your buckets with lids like the one shown in the photo and your guys won't get near them, let alone stack them...
...the only exception, of course, is if they really, really gotta go!

Bucket un-sticking; someone told me to drill holes in the outer bucket thus letting in air etc... sounded good.. did not work. I still have a couple of stuck buckets... anybody else have an idea?
