Seasonal Maintenance of Bent Grass:
Putting Greens, Tennis Courts, Lawn
AERIFICATION
Aerification is a can’t-miss, must-do cultural practice that happens twice a year – once in spring and once in fall. Pull plugs, push the cores off to the side, pick them up with grain shovels, and then sand, seed, fertilize, drag, water, repeat.
FERTIIZATION
Fertilization is frequent with a starter for seeds followed by an application one month later and on a ten-day basis with soluble fertilizer until greens have established.
MOWING
A great benefit of bent grass is it's ability to be mowed and kept at a very low height. In fact, bent grass prefers to be cut at very low heights, and will not look good if kept at heights of 4-6 cm which other cool season grasses prefer their leaf length to be. Bentgrass will also require very regular lawn mowing throughout the growing season, with the reward given to the lawn owner in having a lovely dense green lawn as a result.
