Question:"My attention has been called to a product called * * * which is advertised to take the place of the compst we have been using for top-dressing purposes. What advice can you give me on this point?"
Source of Question:Michigan
Answer/Response:"The product you mention is a good fertilizer. However, there are many other good complete fertilizers on the market. For golf turf maintenance it is especially necessary to provide a relatively large amount of nitrogen in fertilizing material. We therefore advise purchasing fertilizers primarily on a nitrogenous basis. If a complete fertilizer is required there should be some phosphoric acid and potash added. As far as this product's taking the place of compost is concerned, that would be possible if the compost were used only for the purpose of providing plant food for the turf, but when compost is employed for adding organic material to the top soil to keep the soil texture in good mechanical condition and to assist in maintaining a true putting surface, like results could not be obtained by any such commercial fertilizer."
