Welcome to the blog, we've managed to complete most of the work that was planned for March.Greens, tees and weak areas have been fertilised to strengthen the grasses.Top dressing of the greens as started with us aiming to deliver one hundred tonnes over the next few months. The start of our monthly applications of wetting agent, sea weed and micro nutrients as also been applied.
Compared to last spring we've noticed earlier signs of leaf growth on the horse chestnut trees and hawthorn bushes around the course. And in monitoring soil temperatures we are gradually seeing the temperature rising.
We targeted small areas on a couple of the greens with the pro core fitted with 8mm hollow tines. Cores were removed at a depth of 25mm to reduce any potential fibre build up.The area's were top dressed, rolled and back in play with minimal surface disturbance.
In April we hope to get in to a regular pattern of cutting and course presentation along with the top dressing, aeration and spraying applications.
