Topdressing and Coring

A comparison study looking at coring and topdressing versus topdressing prior to coring.

[@SpheroidBeats]

I see a problem with drag-matting on top of the cores... Every single annual blue-grass seed gets drag into those fine little seeding pots. This will be a definite no-go on my Fescue greens...

[@ajkrantz1]

What do you charge to Topdress a lawn? Where can you rent the Topdresser?

[@dudeitstimkennedy9576]

I will only do topdress first when venting with no cores. Never enough time to deal with moisture, eventually it’ll bite ya. Tried and true is where I’ll stay, now that I’m the boss.

[@tonesgaming1012]

would you over seed it after top dressing?

Well done , thank you

It is infected by other aspects of extramural hunting/hunting.

[@noahriedel801]

What is the reason for why this is done ??????

[@JadenWhetzel]

Noah Riedel Punching the greens helps get rid of the organic material building up beneath the putting surface. This helps prevents soft thatch greens. When you punch the greens and fill it with sand, the roots of the grass grow down the sand as well. So punching the greens makes sure they will have a firm consistent putting surface.

[@thomastrain7311]

compaction is a big reason. the soil gets so compact that water won't even soak into the greens .

[@icawn]

why sand, instead of rich organic compost?

[@mantell96]

Sand makes the soil structure more open, better drainage, better root structure, more true surface

[@freeman3320]

When I still had my house, I would line the trunk of my Honda Accord with 3 mil plastic and go to the sand quarry off Rathmell Road and shovel into the trunk as much sand as it would carry.

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

USGA has guidelines. The organic matter has to be consistent. Compost is not consistent.

i love that aerator

[@Tshizzle42o]

We have a larger jd aercore. It sucks. We have always had trouble with slipping belts. Slipping belts causes the timing to be way off and thst causes lost of damage to the turf. We have used a walk behind toro the last 2 years. Chain drive, no slipping, no damage.

U can tell your the boss

[@CurvedSlightly]

Da fuk does Shooter McGavin know bout topdressing and coring?

[@tamoose1]

Jesus, you got to chew gum right into the mic?

tamoose1 f***ing complainer, get lost

[@Vermontwalleyeguy12.56]

This one guy that says he knows what he doing ‘NOT REALLY’ he was telling us NOT to sand our greens starve them of water and it’ll firm them but he’s a hack anyways yes he’s a hack job! We lightly top dressed one cause it was scalping and it looked like hell and there was 3 inches of thatch in the green!!! I told him about thatch he asked me what that was and he’s in his 60s and he says he’s been doing this for 20 years HAH that’s a JOKE!! What do you guys think we need to do we’re in Vermont and I want my bosses greens better HELP me how many times a year should I do that I’ve read every 12-14 for a light too dress!?? Help!??

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Both regular topdressing and coring and topdressing will help with thatch reduction. The sand will filter through thatch layer over time and kind of dissolve the thatch layer. Coring is definitely the best way to reduce that though as your mechanically removing it. All of it depends on the weather but if you're talking topdressing alone in good growing conditions I lightly topdress every 14 days or so. I will then brush the sand in with a very soft bristled brush. I'll sometimes put down about a tenth of nitrogen and potassium with the topdress but it's not always the case. Irrigate until you feel like the sand has made it's way below the leaf tissue. Twice a year I will plug my greens and topdress after removing cores. In the fall I'll overseed on top. We have old greens and getting modern cultivars into the equation has helped fight Poa. I topdress and aggressively broom to fill every hole. I'll then roll and water, roll and water until the green is as flat as I can make it. Definitely need to apply nitrogen at this point to facilitate healing. If you have a significant thatch issue there are other things you can do as well like regular verticutting. Lots of information online about all of your options.

[@ryanrb1985]

The problem is your at Ohio state and not Michigan State!! Go green!

[@peterarmstrong4330]

Ryan brown state is green dumb fuck! Michigan is blue.

[@ryanrb1985]

Peter Armstrong I would refer you to my original statement! Maybe learn to read before you start calling someone a dumb fuck because you end up being the dumb fuck! You must have got your degree from OSU OR UVM.

[@SamBrickell]

@@ryanrb1985 I have two degrees from tOSU. But honestly it was well before college when I learned the different forms of "your"/"you're".

[@ryanrb1985]

SAM BRICKELL SAM BRICKELL You’re correct that I miss used your. I’m glad that you spent all that money on your degrees to let me know 2 years later that my grammar is sub-par in a KZbin comment!

[@memoramos2149]

That's a green it's a tree and they are doing it all wrong 😅😅😅😅like a walking topdresser😅😅and that tractor should have a blade on the the back to make a straight line of cores all wrong 😅😅😆😆😆

[@nathanchurch8934]

It's a research green

[@christianrobinson4494]

No it's not, it's a tree 😆

How was your drink and food inside, Mr. MANAGER? give me a break. Do the work yourself rather than barking orders. Wow!
