Fine Fescue Beds

Today we are finishing up our annual process of weedeating our fine fescue beds, this is being done not only to promote density, but also we will follow this afternoon with an organic fertilizer called milorganite. Milorganite uses microbes in the soil that break down nutrients to make it plant available, this activity occurs when moisture is adequate and soil temperatures are warmer during spring months. The fine fescue areas on our golf course offer a wide variety of not only aesthetic appeal but a great contrast of light yellows to a deep green rough, but also offer a great solution to shady or drought prone locations as well.
