Testing

Since I started at MGC I have done soil testing to see what nutrients are deficient in the soil and what types of fertilizer would be most effective. These tests are done twice a year and I am able to watch trends as well as see if our deficiencies are improving. This year the supplier of our greens fertilizer program has offered tissue testing at no additional cost to the club. These test actually using clippings from the greens to determine what the plant is using from the soil. By combining the information from both tests I can determine not only what is needed in the soil but if the plant is benefiting from these applications.
