The videos below show my assistants Jeff and Nate wrapping up our late season fertilizer application.
If you are out playing this weekend, you may notice the course is wetter than normal. This is because we have been watering this fertilizer in as we apply it. The fertilizer we used has both a polymer and sulfur coat protecting the nitrogen. Water acts as the catalyst for the release of the nitrogen. This coating gives us a little more control over the nitrogen release and will hopefully protect some of that nitrogen over the winter, leaving enough to feed the turf when the soil warms up in the spring. Hopefully, it will also be around to help stimulate any new spring seedlings that emerge as a result of our dormant seeding.
The hot dry summer took its toll on our non-irrigated areas so we have ramped up our late season fertility program to include these areas as well. In total we have fertilized 180 acres of maintained turf over a two-week period.
