| Question: | "The question arises as to whether we should cover our greens for the winter or leave them uncovered. Heretofore we have given the greens a light topdressing of sand alone and found that this gave us good surface drainage and little or no winterkill. However, some think a heavy compost topdressing better. We should be glad to know your experience in such matters. We have found cases in which a heavy topdressing on greens over winter has caked and held the water, to the injury of the grass." |

| Answer/Response: | "We have topdressed greens with sand and other materials over winter and have obtained best results from a topdressing of compost to which a little more sand has been added than is customary with compost used during the growing season. Compost of this character, applied at a rate not to exceed 1 cubic yard to 5,000 square feet of surface, is not liable to pack or cake over winter." |
