Solid tining greens

 As soon as the frost had cleared on the greens the weidenmann was out solid tining with 8mm solid tines to a depth of 175mm. this will aid drainage, relieve compaction and give the rootzone vital gas exchange for healthy root growth. We should have all the greens finished for tuesday next week, weather permitting.
