Wall To Wall Fertilizer Application
Today was the completion of the first phase of our wall-to-wall fertilization application. In this phase we completed fertilization of all of the rough areas on the golf course using Polyon. This slow release product will help the golf course "glow" in about one month from now. The second phase will be covering the fairways. The method we use when fertilizing wall-to-wall is a bit different than most, if not all, other golf courses. We apply the fertilizer with walk spreaders. I know some think this may be crazy, but I believe it is necessary. One main reason that it works well for us is that we use a different product on our fairways than our rough. We don't want the Polyon to spread into the fairway and vice versa. Also, it assures that the coverage of product will be near perfect and there will be no waste of product spreading into the native grasses as if you were using a larger PTO spreader or Lely. If anything else, it is a great workout!
