| Answer/Response: | "Late summer or fall is the best time to plant putting greens. Frequently there is considerable trouble from weeds in connection with spring planting. For that reason you should apply fertilizer just previously to planting so that the seed or stolons may get a vigorous start and thus be able to compete better with the weeds. Since your soil is heavy it would be well to apply lime during winter, broadcasting it at the rate of 50 to 100 pounds to 1,000 square feet. If you can obtain some coarse sand it would also be well to disk that in during winter. Do not work the soil until it is free from moisture in the spring, and then apply 50 pounds of some good organic nitrogen carrier to each 1,000 square feet, raking it into the soil just before planting. Pulverized poultry manure, activated sludge, and bone meal are good fertilizers to use at the time of construction." |
