| Abstract/Contents: | In recent years an assortment of synthetic winter covers has entered the marketplace. Because the covers are relatively new, questions regarding their use and performance have arisen. Often referred to as geotextiles, they come in different shapes, weights, colors and composition. Generally secured in late fall and removed the following spring, winter covers have been used primarily on "problem" putting greens to reduce winter disiccation damage and to promote earlier green-up and growth in the spring. Because of the diverse properties of geotextiles, their use has extended around the golf course. For example, they can be found under cart paths for improved stabilization, on slopes to reduce erosion, in sand bunkers to prevent sand-soil mixing and around drain lines to reduce clogging. They are also used on newly seeded or damaged areas to hasten the rate of germination and regrowth. Finally, geotextiles that exclude light penetration have been used in landscape plantings to prevent weed invasion." |
