Question:"We planted two putting greens with bent stolons the middle of September. The stolons started to grow very well, but recent dry weather and cold nights have stopped their growth. Would you advise covering the turf with straw or light straw manure for the winter?"
Source of Question:Maryland
Answer/Response:"While the covering of putting greens with straw or manure over winter has seemed to give good results in certain cases farther north, we would not advise it for your latitude. Often such coverings, instead of benefiting the turf, kill it out in spots by smothering the grass. A fairly good topdressing with compost for the winter months is all that is needed for your greens."
