| Question: | "In making an application of hydrated lime, corrosive sublimate, and sulphate of ammonia, mixed with dirt, using a peat spreader, our greens were burned rather severely. Applying in the same manner a mixture of corrosive sublimate and sulphate of ammonia no burning resulted. Please advise what kind of lime is safest to use on putting greens and at what rate it should be applied." |

| Answer/Response: | "It is not safe to use sulphate of ammonia with lime unless the lime is applied at least a week previous to or following the application of the sulphate of ammonia. This is because the chemical reaction when lime and fertilizers containing ammonia are mixed together results in the release of ammonia gas, which burns the turf. There is however less danger from burning when ground limestone is used in place of hydrated lime. In constructing putting greens with acid soil it is recommended that ground limestone be mixed with the soil; if the soil is not markedly acid, a ton of ground limestone to the acre is sufficient. When putting greens seem to require lime to correct extreme soil acidity as quickly as possible, more satisfactory results will probably be obtained by the use of hydrated lime. It is better to use a small amount of this for the first treatment, such as 15 pounds to 1,000 square feet, and add more as necessary. The use of lime on putting greens is discussed at more length in the Bulletin for May, 1929." |
