Throwing Sand, Mulch and Water

Today we took advantage of not having a Monday outing.  We spread a moderate topdressing across of all our greens to help in aiding the last push to heal aeration holes.  Directly behind the sand, we applied pre-emergent for crabgrass and goosegrass combined with a plant protectant against fungi and watered it all in.  This application calls for a high dose of h2o so it was nice to have the golf course to ourselves to successfully irrigate throughout the morning.

We also got started on the annual mulching of landscape beds.  This year we decided to go with compost instead of mulch.  Compost breaks down much quicker and results in a richer soil medium for plant growth.
