| Question: | "We are able to obtain manure in considerable quantity from a neighboring riding club and are anxious to have advice as to the best method of utilizing it. There is considerable bedding straw in the manure, and we are considering the construction of pits, to be covered with latticework, on which the manure may be dumped and sifted through into the pit so that the straw will be removed." |

| Answer/Response: | "Manure may be best utilized by a golf club either as an ingredient of topdressing or a source of liquid manure. The expense involved in the making and application of liquid manure is perhaps greater than in composting the manure and applying the compost; the use of liquid manure, however, gives excellent results. Liquid manure pits and the use of the material have been discussed in THE BULLETIN on the following pages: Page 327, December, 1922; page 147, May, 1923; page 278, November, 1923. In using manure in topdressing, it should first be composted until it is well rotted. This will require about a year's time. The rotted manure may then be used as an ingredient of your topdressing material. Not more than one-fourth of the topdressing material should consist of composted manure, the balance being preferably a clay or sandy loam, as the nature of your soil may require. As your topdressing material should be sifted before being used, it is not necessary to remove the straw from the manure when composting it." |
