Fertilizing The Course
Today we had Harrell's Fertilizer come out and spread fertilizer on the course. We went with their Polyon product this year. They made us a custom blend with an analysis of 24-0-10. We went at a rate of 5.4 lbs per thousand square feet. This gives us a little over 1.25 lbs of nitrogen per thousand square feet. This nitrogen is mostly slow release to give us a consistent feed for about 5 months. The Polyon coating on the fertilizer ensures this slow release. This will keep us from getting big flushes of growth after rain events while maintaining a consistent green color throughout the growing season. We have used this product in the past and we feel it is the best product available.
