Golf Courses are ideal places to use Cut'n'Paste


I thought I would take the time to drop you a quick line about Cut n Paste.

The greenstaff  here at Peninsula Golf Club have sucessfully using Cut n Paste to remove unwanted Paspalum grass and reeds throughout the golf course. We have been using Cut n Paste to remove Paspalum from our couch grass fairways. We carefully wipe the product onto Paspalum leaves and target kill off without seriously affecting the grass  underneath. As the Paspalum dies off the couch grass underneth can begin to grow susessfully with little or no damage.

Cut n Paste was convenient, saved time for maintenance staff because they could just act as and when there was a weed that needed to be dealt to.  That it was highly targeted on those nuisance course weeds.  Cut n Paste saved money because we did not have to invest time and resources into expensive chemicals which may require a follow up application. Staff could treat weeds as and when they identified them. 

We now sucesfully use  CutnPaste because I wanted a safe low toxicity product and with the applicator brush was easy to use.  CutnPaste fits this criteria of being low cost and easy to use and with the addition of blue dye is now visible for the green staff to know where they have been.  We are mainly targeting paspalum and results are noticed within 7 day period of time with the plants wilting and dieing.  

As an added extra Cut n Paste  will also deal with all the other nuisance weeds around the course, the gorse, wooly nightshade, paspalum and reeds have all been controlled sucessfully.
