Question: | "There is a large area on one of our fairways when even the rankest weeds will not grow. It seems to be covered with salt, and is spreading in size. It is situated on a filled-in meadow. The rest of the fairway seems to be doing very well. Have you any suggestions as to correcting this condition?" |
Source of Question: | New York |
Answer/Response: | "We would suggest that you install a system of tile drainage underneath this spot in your fairway, as it is probable that the salt which has accumulated will thus be drawn away as it goes into solution from rains. The drainage of the salt would be hastened, however, by thoroughly flooding the area several times after the drainage system has been installed." |
