USGA Summary Points:The decline in water infiltration occurs as result of the accumulating organic matter at the surface of the putting green rather than any deleterious changes in the original rootzone mixture. Soil fertility was typically improved more with compost than other amendments. Composts also compared well to peat for the ability to increase plant available water in the rootzone. Construction of a straight sand rootzone was not an effective method to manage organic matter accumulation as putting greens age. There was no evidence that would justify selection of rootzone mixtures based on microenvironmental conditions.
