Question: | "In planting our putting greens with stolons of the Washington strain of creeping bent we covered the stolons with about ½ inch of good soil, and when they began to come through the soil we covered them with ¼ inch of sharp sand. Is this a sufficient covering of sand?" |
Source of Question: | Indiana |
Answer/Response: | "The quantity of sand you have applied is too much for one application. Layers of pure sand or pure organic materials like peat and muck on putting greens are liable to cause injury in after years. In your further use of sand for top-dressing it should be mixed with sufficient soil to make a material having the consistency of a sandy loam." |
