| Question: | "For the last two years we have used nothing but ammonium sulphate, about 5 pounds to the green, mixed with bone meal, and this mixed with dirt and sand and applied as topdressings, but have not used any compost on the greens on account of the weed seeds. The latter part of last summer we mixed the ammonium sulfate with water and applied it wet, and topdressed with the bone meal, dirt, and sand separately. Our greens have improved in texture and have fewer weeds than formerly. In view of this do you think we can dispense with the use of compost right along?" |

| Answer/Response: | "We should urge you to use compost in addition to the ammonium sulfate, as nothing else seems quite to take the place of good compost. If your compost is in a bed which is relatively large and low, the control of weeds can easily be handled by turning them under a harrow, thus dispensing with expensive hand-labor. Compost improves with age, and after it has passed through one summer and has been turned over so as to prevent weeds from seeding, you need have no fear of the weed seeds which it may contain. The compost should, of course, be screened before using." |
