Brett, I've been reading your recommendations on top dressing, etc. I have a 3 year old putting green, and I have some "bumpy" spots. I've been top dressing lightly with scheduled irrigation and fertilization. What process do you use for top dressing? Also, I live right up the road from you (up SR 77 in Broadview Heights, OH). Thanks... Tony --Previous Message-- : do you use 1/2 a pound of fertilzer or : nitrogen. 1 pound of N does not mean : you weigh 1 lb of material out of : the bag. Read the directions. 400 sq : ft green you should use 2 1/2 pounds : of material out of the bag. This : will be roughly 1 lb of N. Do it : once a month until satisfied with : the growth. I'm in Akron, Oh so : pretty much same climate. Don't ever : roll your green, it causes what you : try to avoid by aerating, if not : smooth top dress every week lightly. : : --Previous Message-- : 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 : : --Previous Message-- : topdress lightly once a week to get : a : smooth roll. As far as color where : are, and how often and how much : fertilzer do you use?? : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : : : : :
