| Question: | "Our Washington creeping bent greens are fine in spite of the summer drought we have experienced. Would you recommend reseeding these greens in the fall? If so, where can we obtain Washington creeping bent seed?" |

| Source of Question: | Ohio |

| Answer/Response: | "Since your greens are in good condition it would be a waste of money to attempt to reseed them in the fall. Moreover, no seed of the Washington strain of the creeping bent is avalible, as this strain must have been planted by the stolon method; nor would other bent grasses, if seeded, match your turf of the Washington strain of creeping bent. With putting greens planted some years ago with fescue, redtop, or certain other grasses that are not permanent, it was necessary to reseed many other greens in the fall; also the ravages of brownpatch and other diseases often made it necessary to reseed putting greens in the fall except when there has been some unusual damage. In spite of these changed conditions a great many individuals still have the reseeding habit and waste a great deal of money as a result. Where greens are planted by the stolon method any scars can be mended by planting stolons or by plugging in pieces of sod from a turf nursery. In your case there would seem to be no need for planting of any kind." |
