General
The recent, overly wet conditions coupled with poor drainage create the perfect environment for fungi to rot grass roots.
- The renovations scheduled for this year are based on the long-range forecast of a wet summer.
- We are endeavouring to improve the surface drainage in an attempt to minimise the grass rotting.
