Some Sod Touch Up

By the very nature of sod, it is historically thatchy to hold up when it is harvested.  And our sod that we bought from West Coast Turf is no exception.  With the high humidity this sod is "over-growing" and has become prone to scalping which is occurring on the month old sod.  This has become noticeable as we have lowered the HOC.  To combat this issue tomorrow we will do some minor spot aerification of select areas and hand fill with sand.  This should handle the issue at hand.  We will address 15 tomorrow.

Additionally tomorrow we will continue our light topdressing program, and spray the greens with growth regulator and fertilizer micro nutrient package.  We just got the hydraulic hoses back this afternoon and the topdresser is now ready for action.
