Question: | "Please let us have your opinion as to the value of peat-moss for putting greens." |
Source of Question: | New York |
Answer/Response: | "We have done considerable experimental work with peat-moss but we can see no benefit from its use in either putting green maintenance or construction. All the evidence we have found indicates that ordinarily good soil, well drained, is all that is needed to start a putting green, and that turf of the highest quality can be maintained from this start by topdressing with soil and fertilizer. If used to excess we can see how actual harm might result from peat-moss." |
