Soil Temperatures



The soil temperature in the greens is still at 10-11 celsius. Our average air temperature this month has been 11.7 celsius, fairly high for this time of year explaining the extended growth we are seeing. We are still cutting the greens 3 times a week and still harvesting a great deal of grass. Once the soil temperature drops to 5 celsius and below the grass will stop growing significantly.   



The soil temperature in the month of July when we are at our busiest. There's a dramatic difference in temperature from summer to winter really halting the grasses growth. I will record the soil temperature towards the end of December to compare the variation.  


A diagram to show  members and visitors the benefits of why we aerated the greens a few weeks back.
