Greens Aerification. One Week Later!


     It's been one week since we aerified the greens with 5/8" holes. Today we're mowing the greens for the first time. We're getting some sand in the baskets, but we will  mow daily, and should have all the excess sand picked up by Friday. Because we gave the greens extra fertilizer the past two weeks they are growing nicely and the holes are filling in quickly. Last week we actually verticut the greens twice. Once on Wednesday afternoon and again on Friday afternoon. This process pulled up some sand, but when the greens were dragged following the verticutting, the sand filled the holes up to the top.
