i agree with the others. frequent fertility, 2-3 deep waterings a week.
I roll my green, all the time, quite frequent. It does have effect on the speed, but the turf hasn't suffered, and my greens several years old.

: Topdress lightly once a week
: absolutely no rolling for immediate

: Brett, thanks for help. I am in
: Long
: Island, NY. I have only fertilized
: once (last week). Sod farm told me
: the bent was pretty juiced up when
: delivered (6 weeks ago). I use
: 18-24-21. Green is only 400 sq. Ft.
: So I use less then 1/2 lb. Should I
: go with higher Nitrogen fertilizer
: or is it to late? Should I roll
: after topdress or let it be? Thanks

: 6 week old bent sod green. I cut at
: 1/4" at least 5 times a week.
: Color is ok, wish it was a little
: richer. It has been in the 90's
: here so I am a little hesitant to
: fertilize. On closer inspection
: there is still alot of room between
: blades and some yellowing below.
: Just wondering how this works am I
: missing something or just need to be
: patient? Water twice a day morning
: and late afternoon 20 min. 400 sq.
: ft. Roll is ok but still a little
: bumpy. Have topdressed twice in May.
: Am I done for the rest of the
: season or should I continue to
: topdress? Thanks Gang.
