I was very hesitant to vertidrain greens this week. They looked and rolled great, but I knew that infiltration rates were not right. Water was moving slow and we were seeing an increase in disease due to salt accumulation. Looking back, I'm really glad we decided to go ahead with this process. One tool that has been really beneficial in minimizing surface disruption is a Tru-Turf roller that I was able to borrow. This is definitely something I will be putting on my wish list for the future. Not only will it help reduce surface disruption following future aerifications, it will also allow us to keep the greens smooth and firm without reducing our mowing heights.
