| Question: | "We were interested in your response to a letter published in last years Journal with regard the Toro HydroJect. At that time you expressed a few concerns over the use of the implement whilst considering it valuable in combating dry patch. Have your views changed after another 12 months experience?" |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Essentially little has been done with the HydroJect to cause a change of heart with regard its benefits or possible dangers. The machine has proved itself in redressing dry patch damage, moistening powder dry soils after a single pass where conventional solid tining, hand watering and wetting agent treatment has failed. The relief from dry patch appears prolonged, at least through the summer provided the efficiency of irrigation is sustained, although surface compaction soon returns. Beyond the putting surface, work with the HydroJect has produced excellent results in the approaches and surrounds to greens, alleviating compaction, lack of moisture and improving the playing characteristics. Perhaps with regular use of the HydroJect soil compaction would not occur though our concern over fine particle migration would be heightened. It may be the case that the employment of water injection may reduce the need for other, more disruptive forms of summer aeration, but in such a circumstance annual autumn hollow tining or Verti-Draining would be advisable. There is tremendous potential for further work into developing the use of the HydroJect and assessing the possible drawbacks of its action. If anything, we are more positive with regard the future of the HydroJect whilst still retaining a wary approach to regular use." |
