Greens aerification complete

Greens aerification went very good the last 2 days.  Here is a look at our process.

#1 - Deep tine aerification with 1 inch solid tines on 4 inch centers 8 inches deep
                to improve drainage, create channels for roots, water, and oxygen

1" deep tine holes

Deep tining

#2 Hallow tines pulling a core - 1/2" tines, on 1.25" centers, 4" deep
Pulling a core
#3 - Sweep up plugs, blow off the green

That is a lot of holes...


#4 Roll to smooth the green out and do a final cleaning


#5 Topdress with pure sand


#6 Brush




#7 Finished product - continue to work in sand all week with brushing and irrigation
