Fumigation of Greens

As a reminder, fumigation of all putting greens is currently taking place. Please stay completely clear of the tarps that have been installed and be sure to keep pets from those areas as well.

The product being used is Methyl Bromide. It will be contained under the sealed tarps and will become inert in the soil. After a few days, the tarps can be safely removed. This is an important step in the regressing process as it kills weed seeds, insects, nematodes and any remaining vegetation.
