Leaf Removal and USGA Article

Mid Atlantic Update
Keith Happ, Senior Agronomist
Its That Time of Year; Recovery and Rejuvenation is a priority!

This article from the USGA is very relevant to what we are doing right now.  We are neck deep in leaf removal and are wrapping up any seeding of fescue areas.  Today, we are spraying for winter weeds, removing leaves and continuing work on the irrigation system before we shut it down for the winter.  Greens are receiving applications of lime and topdressing behind the mowers. 

Please remember that you can follow the blog through twitter or our email feed.  You can also easily sign your friends up to receive the email feed.  Have a great weekend.

Chuck spends most of his day in the Fall on leaf removal.  The large willow oak trees in his area make this a daunting task.

Greens have to be blown off for other work to be completed.

Xinyi is tilling the soil to begin the seeding process next to the restrooms.  The leaves will have to be removed, the soil ammended, seed planted and straw added.  The two MSU interns have been very involved in all seeding projects.
