Fertilizer Application


This week we have been finishing up with our second installment of our first application of fertilizer. Pictured here is Justin applying through a Lely spreader to hole #6. This fertilizer is one of my favorites. It is a quick release that provides great results. Very high in Nitrogen to get the turf into gear after hibernation from the wintertime. It also contains almost 4% Iron which gives the plant a deeper green color.
By applying this synthetic fertilizer it not only gets the turf actively growing, but it also helps reduce the amount of weeds throughout the course due to the dense turfgrass population. We apply this fertilizer to allmaintained areas except the greens.
Our second application or "summer application" contains a lot of organics due to the increased soil temperature to optimize its results.
