Grow Baby Grow

We are now just over three weeks into the growing process of our new Dunes greens.  The new Tif dwarf is coming in very well.  We anticipate our first mow to be in the next 7 to 10 days.  We have begun to hand topdress some of the areas that are a little weaker with a combination of greens mix sand and very fine mulch.  The addition of the mulch will allow the area to retain moisture better and for a longer length of time.  It will also drop the pH of the soil and allow the fertility in the soil to become more readily available to the plant.  This will allow the very young plant to take advantage of the nutrients we are providing it before it is leached through the soil due to all the water being applied.

Thanks and have a great day!
