Finishing off a bunker whose leading face has been repaired using EnviroBunker
Assisting in this action is the monthly application of Farmura’s Porthcawl liquid feed, which commences each year in March and continues into October when temperatures are above 7O
C.
Applied at a rate of 10 litres per 1,000m2
mixed in fifty litres of water, the
blend of organic ingredients includes seaweed, iron and trace elements designed to feed, condition and green-up the sward. “The results have been very effective again in encouraging the re-establishment of finer grasses,” commented Andrew. “The final link in our application chain is Primo Maxx, a liquid growth regulator that is helping produce and maintain
more consistent and truer playing surfaces. By boosting sward density, Primo Maxx is proving a useful additional aid in the management of Poa annua.” Recognising that the finer, native grasses needed additional assistance in re- establishing themselves strongly across the greens, Andrew instigated a course- wide species exchange programme in 2011.
The first season involved 15mm hollow- coring of all greens and the broadcasting of Johnsons J Fescue, a 100% fine fescue blend, applied at a rate of 35gm/m2
and
then brushed-in, the complete process being repeated three times over the growing season.
