| Question: | "We would welcome our opinion on the seeding of divot marks. Last season divot marks were all filled in with a soil and seeds mixture but the results have not been very satisfactory and re-seeding will be necessary. Would it be possible to incorporate some "booster" into the mixture to hasten germination?" |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "There is nothing which can be added to soil to hasten the germination of seed. The time it takes for seed to grow is determined by weather conditions irrespective of what else might be done. You could possibly assist the establishment of the young grass by mixing the seed with a friable compost which should be a little richer than just soil. Another point is that old seed should not be used as it would have reduced viability. Some greenkeepers mix the seed with slightly moistened compost a few days before it is required and this starts movement in the seed before the mixture is applied to the divot marks. This practice is satisfactory when weather conditions are favourable to growth after sowing the mixture but if they are not then further growth is checked." |
