Spring is slowly creeping round the corner, at last a break in the weather to enable coursework to be finished.  Abbotts greens this week have been solid-tined with 12mm tines down to 75mm on very close spacing.  This was after each green had been top dressed with 2 ton of sand.  At the moment the greens resemble beaches but a few days of warm sun will see this sand ameliorated into the profile. All Abbotts greens were feed last week with a spring starter just to push them along.
