Pre-emerging Greens.........




Going out with half rate of this product. This product is great for goose/crab but has a reputation for sometimes causing bentgrass to thin out in the summer. This is because of over lapping when spreading at full rate, which would cause some areas to receive twice the label rate.


To help control my spreading overlap i used rope stakes to mark my distances. I used the mower stripes which are spaced pretty close to 9' apart. the mowers are 60" wide so two stripes is 9' counting the over laps.


The spreader has a throw of 9' which works out pretty well with this process. I just use rope stakes to mark one side of green so I know what set of stripes I'm on.
