Just a quick note to let you know that the couch seed is starting to germinate in the patches on the 18th fairway, if you look closely you will see many little plants at the 4 leaf stage, we will feed this with starter fertilizer in the next few weeks to encourage it to grow, the 4th and 7th are about 2 weeks behind the 18th as this is the first one we seeded. i just hope the cold weather stays away for a while as the couch doesn't particularly like mornings below 8 degrees (a bit like me really).
You will also have noticed that soil has been placed down on the 4th fairway where the old social tee was, this is to make a tree bed to plant out with dense trees to make a barrier to stop balls going into the houses along the left hand side of the 4th.
we are using the same procedure used to make the garden behind the 16th green, and as you can see from that garden bed the plants love it and are growing well.
speaking of gardens a big thanks to all those involved with weeding the mounds , spraying weeds, and helping us out over the course, it is a massive job and we don't have enough man-hours available to do everything each week, so to get some help is great as it takes a job off the list thus enabling us to tackle another problem area, so again a big thanks too all.
till tomorrow keep swinging pete
