Start your New Year off right by indulging! That is, indulging your roots with oxygen through regular venting of your greens. Venting procedures increase infiltration, encourage gas exchange and promote rooting. The Toro 648 revolutionized this age old technique and the tine assortments are simply mind boggling. The Toro Titan Solid Slicing tine part number 108-9241 is a personal favorite however it is hard to argue with the standard ¼ inch vent tine. The results are simply magnificent. The warm, wet weather throughout the Southeast, added to the seasonal low light conditions have added a myriad of stresses and roots are at dangerously shallow depths. Adjust your spacing, depth and tine arrangement to avoid unnecessary lifting. If play or your staffing level won’t allow you to perform these procedures, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Agronomic Consulting Enterprises would be happy to help you schedule these operations at night.
