The good weather does continue

After my last blog we were supposed to get a period of wet and unsettled weather. Thankfully a lot of the heavy rain circled around us and hit other areas of the uk. Overall we had 3mm of rain which was welcome and keeps us looking defined but without the excess growth.

Grass growth in General is beginning to slow, as mention previously semi had continued to grow at pace, even this is beginning to check up a little. At times there was too much for the machine to disperse so blowing excess grass was the only option. 

The course remains in excellent condition, judicial use of the irrigation system is producing fast greens which more importantly are smooth. The good weather, aeration and nutrient regime is giving good top growth but underneath is creating a good rooting environment. 

Here good white roots are seen extending below the bottom of a hole plug. 

Now growth has slowed we are concentrating on a few smaller jobs that are still outstanding, the tree on 14 and an irrigation problem ft left of the 1st green.
