Question:"Last summer our water supply gave out and the turf on two of our greens is quite thin. Should we reseed or plant with stolons?"
Source of Question:Illinois
Answer/Response:"We suggest you try to establish some other strain of grass on your greens that have suffered from lack of water. Ordinarily when turf of the Virginia strain of creeping bent is in a healthy condition it is not easy to introduce other grasses, but when the Virginia bent is in a poor condition there is a fair chance that another strain may become established before the Virginia bent has recovered sufficiently to compete with the new grass. In your section, for spring planting, you are likely to have success with seed of the seaside creeping bent. Our recommendation is that as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring you rake all the dead material off the greens, cut them as closely as possible, supply some good organic nitrogen carrier or some complete mixed fertilizer at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds to 1,000 square feet, and seed at the rate of 3 pounds to 1,000 square feet. This should be followed with topdressing."
