| Question: | "A portion of one of our new fairways is a muck deposit depression. It is not, however, a swamp, as the soil is firm enough to raise crops. Do you think a bluegrass-redtop mixture will be satisfactory at this place in our fairways?" |

| Source of Question: | Maryland |

| Answer/Response: | "The commonly used mixture of bluegrass and redtop is about the most satisfactory one we know of for wet fairways. The proportions generally used are 3 or 4 pounds of Kentucky bluegrass and 1 pound of recleaned redtop. There are two other grasses which it might be well for you to try out on your wet fairways, namely, Poa trivialis and German mixed bent. Both of these do well in moist ground. One pound of the Kentucky bluegrass seed in your mixture might be replaced by 1 pound of Poa trivialis, and a portion of the redtop might be replaced with bent seed." |
