| Question: | "We would be interested to receive your comments on the following queries: 1. Our fairways stood up to the dry weather fairly well because they have not been cut as closely or as often as usual but we think they require a light lime dressing and would like your advice on this. 2. Would you tell us the advantages of basic slag over lime and sulphate of ammonia over nitro-chalk. 3. We hesitate to scarify patches of Yorkshire fog on the greens as it might adversely affect the putting. Is there a chance of the Yorkshire fog disappearing in time after applications of the fertilizers you advise." |

| Answer/Response: | "1. We do not advise liming fairways without adequate tests of the soil. We suggest a sample from each fairway you propose to treat be sent to us. A sample should consist of about 60 cores taken with a hollow tine fork in a random manner over the length of the fairway. A golf ball box makes a convenient container and each box should be clearly labelled before being sent to us. 2. Basic slag supplies lime and phosphate and may be beneficial in your case, but we will inform you after the tests. Nitro-chalk is more rapid in action than sulphate of ammonia and being granualar is useful for direct application to turf surfaces. Nitro-chalk contains 50% lime whereas sulphate of ammonia leaves an acid residue. 3. Yorkshire fog on your greens will not disappear through fertilizer treatment. Scarification will help keep its foliage fine and check its spread. Scarification should be done lightly, to avoid disturbing the putting surfaces, but regularly during good growing periods." |
