Needle Tining Greens

needle tining greens
In order to promote healthy greens, needle tining greens is a very important agronomic tool that we use.  It allows the exchange of air, eliminates compaction, and creates avenues for root growth. 

8 inch deep holes with minimal surface disruption
These holes will allow the greens to get oxygen to the root zone without disruption of ball roll.  We will do this every 3 weeks and sometimes more if the weather conditions are overly wet.  Once we complete the needle tining we roll the greens to smooth the surface.
