which is best for a typical fine putting surface,with lowest maintanence from the following 2 options-velvet or creeping bent?and which of the 2 spreads the quickest?
The maintenance of these two species is not particularly low if they are to be kept in prime condition for a putting surface. Neither has any other grass for that matter if it is to produce a putting surface. Velvet such as Avalon or Vesper will produce a very fine,high density surface with lower inputs in terms of fertiliser and water, than creeping bent. In fact it is important not to over feed velvet bent. Both bent grasses colonise at a similar rate. In general Velvets are more suited to the UK climate. Question: I am grass seeding a bank next to a river but want to use a wildflower mix. The river floods regulary during the winter. What mix would be strong enough to survive the force of flooding on the bank but be dry during other periods during the year? Answer: In this situation, soil stability is the most important consideration. To acheive this you need to select seed mixtures that have species with a creeping growth habit, as well as seed at a high rate to establish a good pla
