Just a Poke

We will be spiking the greens on Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th. This process is necessary to relieve compaction which facilitates root growth heading into summer. A second important outcome of spiking is channels will be opened allowing vital oxygen to enter the rootzone. The great thing about using these cross-tines is that I can achieve the necessary agronomic goals while limiting surface disruption to the golfers.
A double roll behind the aerifier usually is sufficient to bring back smooth and puttable greens.
