Overseeding My Couch (Bermuda) Golf Green With Bentgrass

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today I'm overseeding my TifTuf Bermuda Couch Golf green with bentgrass so I can keep colour on it during winter. Really excited to see how this turns out! It was a pretty big process.
I also topdressed the green to help retain moisture for the seed.

    So many closed minded people here. Obviously this isn't for everyone, he's taking it to the next level as you would when you elevate a "normal task" to a hobby. And all of you saying just put in an artificial lawn are entitled to your opinion, but I can say I have yet to see an artificial lawn that did not look artificial. Personally I think most artificial turfs are garbage looking compared to the real thing, and are no where close to being as pleasant to walk on or use. Depending on where you live, HOA's in the US won't allow artificial turf in the front as it is ugly.

    Very true. I cringe so much when I see people covering huge areas of land with it. I do get it when it’s a tiny out the way space though. Also agree with the hobby thing never understand how people don’t get that sort of thing. I guess some people can’t understand enjoying something that they don’t.

Would you advise scalping it down to just below 15-20mm and then raise it up or just slowly lower HOC over time? Not sure which method is best to get it looking good at 15mm fastest. Loving the videos recently too.
