That time of year again

As soil temperatures are warming up, soil biology is coming to life, a perfect time to apply the first brew of the year. For those who aren't familiar with the compost tea process there is a lot more information on my blog from April 2013. Basically a 24-36 hour brew or agitation of aerated compost in water creates benifical fungi that is then sprayed on the greens. Around 8 applications will be applied throughout the year. 
We also cut the range for the first time 
We have great facilities at the golf club, which are available to members and visitors, why not give them a go?
Also we gave bunker faces their first cut before raking. Tees have been divoted to fill in all winter wear and play.
