Question:"We are planning to apply sewage sludge to our fairways. Our course is hilly and the soil clay. Would it be well to give the fairways a light disking or spiking after the sludge is applied in order to prevent its washing off the high places?"
Source of Question:Michigan
Answer/Response:"It would be highly desirable to follow the fertilizing with disking or spiking, so that the fertilizer may work into the soil and not be washed away. Lights disking can often be done by loading the carriage and by setting the disks straight. The straight-set, weighted disks will slice the sod but will not turn it to any extent. The disk furrows should be left open until the fairways are watered or until rain has fallen, provided the rain comes before the turf dries too much. The watering or rain will wash the fertilizer into the disk furrows. Before the disked turf dries to excess on account of being loosened from the soil, it is well to pass a roller over the area to put the turf back in contact with the soil."
