Using Aeration Plugs To Fill In Thin Areas In The Rough.



Nothing goes to waste on this property...Many have probably noticed we have started using the aeration plugs from the greens to fill in thin areas in the rough.  Most of the areas have been void of grass for decades probably so we decided to start using the cores we harvest from the green to fill the spots in and then we seed them with some shade tolerant fescue grass to get them to fill in and provide cover in these areas.  Many of the areas have big roots exposed so the plugs actually cover them up nicely and gives us a medium to seed into.  Many will notice a lot of these spots have already started to grow.  Just another example of putting all bi-products from the course maintenance to good use!
