Venting

The weather has been mild this winter and we have been taking advantage of the increased temperatures.  Typically the spring time is the best time of year to grow roots in our putting surfaces.  One way to do this is by venting the greens and adding nutrients.  On Monday we vented greens, and today we are adding nutrients.  The increased temperatures will help develop new roots so our putting surfaces will be strong deep into the summer months.  The below pictures will show tiny holes that have little affect on the putting surface.

1/4" solid tine holes that let oxygen into the soil profile


The ball roll is unaffected by our venting practices
