Question:"Following our usual practice we applied our spring fertilizer dressing in mid-April this year and were disappointed in that very little response followed the treatment. I wonder if any change in the fertilizer dressing which you advised is required."
Answer/Response:"We have recently examined soil samples from your green and the fertilizer which we advised was formulated to meet existing conditions, and could therefore be relied upon to promote grass growth providing weather conditions were suitable for sward development. The spring was exceptionally late this year with very little growth until the end of May. No fertilizer will achieve results if the weather is too cold or too dry to permit grass growth. In view of this we would consider it might be wise to delay fertilizer treatment in future years - to apply according to the weather rather than the calendar. At the present time it would probably pay you to apply the first summer fertilizer dressing recommended."
