Question:"What are your suggestions as regards fertilizing a putting green bed before planting? We are wondering whether it would be better to use sulphate of ammonia or some prepared formula of about 10 units of nitrogen, 8 units of phosphoric acid, and 6 units of potash? Our soil is a good sandy loam."
Source of Question:Illinois
Answer/Response:"In fertilizing a putting green bed preparatory to seeding or planting stolons it is recommended that a prepared fertilizer be used having a comparatively high percentage of nitrogen, considerable phosphoric acid, and some potash. A 10-8-6 fertilizer, such as you mention, should be very good. This should be applied at the rate of 40 to 50 pounds to 1,000 square feet and raked into the soil during construction. As your soil is a sandy loam it is recommended that you use, if possible, a fertilizer with an organic base."
