   In an effort to reduce our topdressing costs and the fact that we have really great native soil I am considering verticutting plugs this year. What I am wondering is 1) what height do you set the verticutting units? and 2) in what order do you complete each green. I am thinking mow,roll,topdress,aerate,verticut,drag, blow off,roll. Any thoughts?

   You might consider dragging first, when dry, then verticut. My past experience is that on larger plugs, the verticutter acts as a bulldozer and will almost push the plugs off the green. I've always dragged first to bust them up, then verticut what is left.
