Question: | "We can buy ground limestone for $6 a ton and agricultural slag for $1.30 a ton. The latter is claimed to contain 82 per cent carbonate of lime and 3.1 per cent carbonate of magnesia. Which would you recommend us to purchase for use in reducing acidity on bluegrass fairways ?" |
Source of Question: | Pennsylvania |
Answer/Response: | "In Bulletin 220 of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station, State College, Pa., entitled "The Agricultural Value of Specially Prepared Blast Furnace Slag," agricultural slag is given, on the whole, a favorable comparison with limestone. Considering the lower price of the slag, it is worthy of a trial." |
