This week, we are cutting back the wildflower areas on the golf course and giving them a major overhaul this year. Wildflowers always start out spectacular with a colorful mix of annuals and perennials but by year 3 or 4, they tend to become a monostand of one type of perennial that outcompeted the other species in the mix. In addition, weeds become an issue and detract from the areas. Therefore, we are cutting the areas back and applying a non-selective herbicide to kill everything. This winter, we will get in these areas and till the soil; really turning it over. Next spring, we will hydroseed with a new wildflower mix and by early summer, we should have a really nice stand of color.
