When I told a local superintendent my intentions to try Civitas on my greens again he threatened to kick me in the nuts. Here's why and please note that this post does not contain any paid promotions although I am probably broke enough now to finally start selling out. Hey, I also started a vlog, check it out here . Back in 2012 I started using Civitas on my greens. It worked amazing. Back then only my 8th green was dominated by bentgrass and I went an entire year without any traditional pesticides on that green. Just mineral oil. The only problem was that on a few of my shadier greens they turned to dirt and for the first time in my career I was forced to deal with winter kill. Winter Kill of 2012 caused by a number of factors that mineral oil certainly didn't help. Shade much? It turns out that when you apply oil to your greens every few weeks while the turf isn't growing and combine that with almost daily rolling of the greens that you will get dead grass. Lesson leaned?...
