growing hay in a field and grass on a golf course = 2 completely different things. the root system on coastal is probably 4x's that of greens cut at less that 3/16 of an inch. i have tried as have many of the superintendants i know with little or no success, i have had several lawn customers try that approach also, just to have me take back over there weed infested lawns, i am not saying it wont work but it does take someone who really really wants to baby it, it takes more apps and money, yes it is more expensive, dont try and tell me its not. but u seem to know it all already so ill let you grow your hay in your field and ill grow mine in my "lawns".

LOL..........I used the same technique on the lawn as the pasture.
No weeds
No grass burrs
No ticks...........big one
No fleas
No god damn fire ants!
Trees looked 10 times better and I used far less water.

Granted..............I've never tried on a green at the pin. I'd say that root system is pretty shallow.

There is no reason a course like Sugar Tree to not use an organic program. They have lots of raw material to do it organically.

Do you know how simple it is to make very active compost tea on a pretty large scale?
