Topdress and Spike

On Monday, we went out with a light top dress and spiked with 1/4" solid tines on the greens. With the warmer weather, the soil temperatures are high enough for the Tif-Eagle to have a slow growth rate. This is the process we use to help with the smoothness of the putting surface and to increase the oxygen in the soil. Oxygen is crucial for the survival of the root system and the microbial population.
