Greenkeepers keep it down

My green suffers bad from this and always has, hence why I have set this as my focus to try and eliminate it.

This Brings me onto the main part of my blog being dry patch on a bowls green. My green has always suffered from dry patches and I am adamant this is due to thatch and compaction from years previous and of neglect.Įvery year all I wanted from greens where was to look pretty, normally this means over watering, over feeding and not disturbing the sword or soil structure to much, well this year that was out the window! Down to business

My plan was to remove as much thatch from the green as I possibly could as I had no interest in making it look pretty. So when lockdown first hit and all recreational sports were postponed with the possibility of none being played this year, I devised a plan. Recent times have led me astray from what I really enjoy doing and I am in such a better place from being able to put time aside to really get stuck into my green. This has allowed me to spend more time on my green and re-ignite the passion I have for green keeping! Lockdown for me has not really happened, I have been privileged to be able to carry on working. Hi all and welcome to my bowling green blog, I am going to discuss the works that I have carried out on my green so far this year and how I am managing dry patch on my bowls green.
