Plug Cleanup Udate

Plugs will be gone soon, replaced by wet sand mix.  Relief from heavily sanded areas will still be neccessary.

How much material is displaced when aerifiying?



Probably less than you think.  When we use 5/8 inch tines and pull cores on a 2 inch x 2 inch spacing we only displace 7.67% of the total area of the green.  I know it seems like more since the entire surface is effected by topdressing and is uneven and not smooth.

Below is the reference chart used in the industry to illustrate the differences.
