Verticut Greens

Tuesday we verticut our greens first time this season. We verticut every other week during the growing season. Theses Maintenance cuts are not very aggressive but they help us control the grain and the build up of thatch. We set the verticutter to cut at 1/16 of an inch deep and cut each line twice. This time our direction was due East and West. We change directions each time to maximize grain control.
In june when we aerify we will set the verticutter at a dept of 1/8 of an inch.

Our by-weekly verticut has very little negative affect on ball roll.
