THE ROLLER IS BACK INTO OPERATION!!!
Finally after eight weeks of waiting for the hydraulic pump to be shipped out, it has arrived and has been installed. (In case your wondering, the pump came from Australia, no air shipments). So know there's two brand new Toro mowers and the practically brand new roller in operation mowing and rolling the greens.
AERIFICATION UPDATE
After 10 days the greens have healed well. We did begin mowing them three days after aerification and after ten days I have lowered the height of cut from .128 to .117. One more week and I'll restart the Primo (growth regulator) applications and as stated the roller is back into action on daily basis.
DISEASE UPDATE
The circles on the greens are from a disease called Fairy Ring. There will be three application of a fungicide put out. The first was applied four days after aerification and ten to fourteen days later a second application will be applied. Then ten to fourteen days later a third application will be applied.
BLUE COLOR ALONG FENCE-LINES
Some of you may have a noticed a blue color along the homeowners fence lines. I have began to spray this area with RoundUp and a Pre-emerge mainly to cut back in our labor output. It's a win win deal for the homeowner plus the golf course maintenance. Overall it will stop invasion of grass from the golf course into your planter beds plus your fence line will not be overpowered with weeds or high grass.
The modern hydraulic pumps provides a high pressure shaft seals enable full system pressure on the outlet port, and eliminate the necessity for external drain lines.
