After a week of much needed rain, we are pushing along. Almost 4 inches of rain tested out our new bunkers and added thousands of gallons of water to our irrigation pond! Unfortunately, we found an issue with one of our new bunkers. Cypress Tree roots have stuffed up the existing drainage causing the bunker to hold water. Our solution was to trench a new drain to the creek.
Standing Water in the new bunker
Hundreds of roots from nearby trees
Installing new drainage, including solid pvc pipe in tree root zone to eliminate roots from penetrating thinner, traditional drainage pipe
We also mowed greens for the first time in over two months this past Tuesday! It seems spring may have sprung!
