It is time to aerify fairways. The weather has been favorable. By the looks of this picture you may not even notice that big green tractor.
I love this aerifier because there is nothing to break, especially with all of the rock in the fairways.
We aerify fairways in three directions with this wheel to disturb as much of the surface as possible. There are 5/8th inch tines on the back and open up great holes. After letting the cores sit and dry out we drag them with a large plastic mat to break up the dirt from the thatch and plant material. Once the dirt is free, we use a large blower to push the thatch into the rough to be disbursed by mowers.
Today we attacked 4 & 5 fairways. The rest of the week is planned as follows:
Tuesday: Fairways: 6 & 7
Wednesday: 2 & 8
Thursday: 1 & 9
The back nine fairways will be aerified next week.
