| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "A very rare booklet concerning turfgrasses and their establishment and culture for golf courses. It is oriented to conditions in the United States and is one of the earliest turfgrass publications in the United States. The companys opinion on the use of manure is discussed as follows:
STABLE OR BARNYARD MANURE. This is decidedly the best and most economical form of fertilizer to use in the initial preparation of the ground for permanent grass lands. A too liberal quantity can hardly be applied. A very heavy dressing, plowed in in the fall, and another dressing cross-plowed in the following spring are recommended. This manure contains all the 'essential manurial elements' but in a form more or less insoluble. They become available slowly and continuously, as the manure decays. Besides being one of the best direct fertilizers, this form of manure has a most valuable mechanical effect in improving the condition of the soil - the vegetable matter in it making stiff, clayey lands more porous and a too light soil more compact. But, although there is nothing better for plowing under, it is by no means as economical when used as a top-dressing. For when so applied the mechanical effect above mentioned is only slightly exercised, and much of the fertilizing properties is lost by the long exposure to the atmosphere. These considerations, and the extra labor involved in spreading in the fall and removing the coarse vegetable parts remaining in the spring, make the natural manure less desirable for surface application than some of the other forms of fertilizer. Its liability to contain weed seeds is still another objection to stable manure for top-dressing." p. 362-363 |
