How to correctly fill a divot (and more importantly how NOT to fill a divot).

Below is a perfectly filled fairway divot using the seed & soil mix. The objective is to provide a smooth surface (in case a ball lands in it) with one-half inch of room for the turfgrass plant to grow.

(Below)This is not only the wrong way but is very detrimental to the mowers. The soil mix has sand which dulls the mowers blades which in turn are costly to repair or service. The old adage that if a little is good, then more is better, actually costs money!

THANK YOU very much for reading this important blog today!
