Abstract/Contents:Discusses drainage issues with sand greens. States that "the 85/15 sand/compost [greens]...will not dry out; the entire 12 inches is soaked." Mentions the use of aeration or HydroJecting as potential solutions to a drainage problem. Also suggests the use of a "VertiDrain/Soil Reliever with 1/2" [inches] solids and go as deep as [possible]. That would provide [an] immediate opening for air to get [into the greens] and hopefully begin to dry [them] out."
