Following the work done on the green last week, the absolute has done it’s job and gently killed off the moss (see the picture of the blackened green below. The grass has not been damaged just the moss killed). We cut the green again today, still at 8mm however, on Monday, weather permitting, we will be cutting to 7mm and sarrol rolling the green to keep it well aerated. Hopefully towards the end of the week or early next, we will be completing the last of the major work days before we open on the 25th. We plan to brush the green (this will stand up the lateral growing grass) followed by a cut to about 6mm. We will then sarrol roll again and spread the spring feed into the well aerated surface. The green will be cut either the Friday or Saturday before the spoon drive and then every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season (and weekends too, if needed for important matches). B and D.

For those that are interested in the work being carried out on the green, we scarified and cut the green again today taking off 6 bags of moss and thatch. This is so important, as removing this will speed up the green. Many people think by cutting the green very short and not watering it, will speed up the green, this is not the case. It is mainly the removal of the moss and thatch and we will continue this work once a month throughout the season. This will not effect the playing surface as we don’t go into the soil, just the thatch. Friday is the next day of serious work. We are firstly cutting to about 8mm, followed by aerating the green (takes about 3 hours) and then feeding it again, followed by a good soaking from the watering system. This will encourage growth and help kill off the moss. Don’t be concerned if you see black areas on the green, this is the dying moss and will slowly be removed. From next week we will slowly reduce the height of the cut in readiness for the opening of the green. D and B.
