This type of corrective programme only succeeds with constant control of the environment and its pressures. We have a long way to go, significant quantities of weed grasses are present in the putting surfaces. In some cases we are still working on the causes of the problems, until we can properly address these problems we will fail to achieve our desired goals. In these problem areas it could be argued that overseeding is a waste of time until we address fully the underlying faults. In many other areas however the environment is spot on and the introduction of fine grasses is merely accelerating what is happening naturally.Richard Cutlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406113868099714731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292595433305726118.post-32431550799321977002008-11-15T19:57:00.000+00:002008-11-15T19:57:00.000+00:00Simply changing the environment will encourage the...Simply changing the environment will encourage the existing finer grasses to flourish and take greater dominance. This process of change may be enhanced and accelerated with overseeding.My perception of general opinion regarding overseeding is that it is a total waste of time, effort and money. Many greenkeepers hardly notice a difference achieved by overseeding, let alone the golfers. This lack of success may be due to incorrect overseeding procedure or maintaining the wrong 'established environment' i.e. unsuccessful germination or failure to establish. Overseeding (if carried out correctly) can really help improve the quality of our greens.writer41ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955132112968124824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292595433305726118.post-41546508139942858402008-11-13T14:53:00.000+00:002008-11-13T14:53:00.000+00:00writer41ukOut thatch removal and overseeding was c...writer41uk<BR/><BR/>Out thatch removal and overseeding was carried out in August. We consider this to be the best time to maximise germination and recovery. We feel regular in-season scarification is too aggressive with regard to the fescue content of the sward. We do not want to compromise the good work that has taken place here over the years by over-stressing the fine grasses in the greens. Even verti-cutting is carried out only occasionally. Greens are brushed two or three times each week and groomers are used from time to time. As I have said, we do not have a significant thatch problem in our greens but we do have issues with species composition in certain areas. We try to create the right environment for fescue and bent grasses to flourish. This means fewer and less aggressive mechanical operations coupled obviously with careful control of nutrient and water inputs. Our operations are tailored to produce dry, moderately infertile conditions. We do not disturb the surface when meadow grass is seeding and we aim to keep as tight and dense a sward as possible. When following this approach it makes absolutely no sense to continually carry out scarification or verti-cutting. This would only serve to create gaps in the sward for poa to exploit. With each linear or vertical aerification we add some seed. The infertile slow growing conditions we provide mean the seed we apply has the greatest chance of success. When the seedlings emerge we would typically apply some N at a fairly low rate to help the new grasses along. <BR/>We find this approach works in our situation. I personally have found this approach to be successful on a number of golf courses. You may have different experiences and may follow a different approach, which may well work for you, but at here La Moye we feel our way will work in the long term. But alas, only time will tell.Richard Cutlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406113868099714731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292595433305726118.post-86565849562109679752008-11-12T21:31:00.000+00:002008-11-12T21:31:00.000+00:00as i said thatch removal can be done throughout th...as i said thatch removal can be done throughout the year without being too aggressive as growth will allow the greens to recover when done in there dormant state causes more damage to the sward as well to overseeding if hit by exceptional cold spells can cause seedlings to die off which can be expensivewriter41ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955132112968124824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292595433305726118.post-87838938779181660772008-11-12T10:30:00.000+00:002008-11-12T10:30:00.000+00:00writer 41uk, JackThis blog is in use for the sole ...writer 41uk, Jack<BR/><BR/>This blog is in use for the sole purpose of informing La Moye members, visitors and interested parties about what is happening on the golf course and why.
