| Question: | "The compost mixer we are using is the best machine we have been able to find. It nevertheless invariably leaves a quantity of small, hard balls of dirt on the greens, which cause loud complaints from players. Do you know if there is a mixer on the market that will grind compost sufficiently fine to give a top-dressing material that will not interfere with putting?" |

| Answer/Response: | "We do not know of a compost mixer which is any better or will do the work any more economically than the machine you are now using. We suggest you examine the top-dressing material you are using to see if it does not contain too much clay. We find it is best to keep the top-dressing material on the sandy loam side. This may be done by increasing the amount of sand and well-rotted manure in the mixture if you are using silt or clay as a base. We do not know of any machine that will reduce compost to a dust if it is inclined to form balls." |
