| Question: | "We are sending you a specimen of animal charcoal, wchich is a by-product of a local industrial concern. We are inclined to believe that it has good fertilizing or mechanical properties, or possibly both, so that we might use it to advantage on our greens and fairways. We can obtain it delivered on the job very cheap. Would you advise our using this material as a fertilizer?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Charcoal, on account of the English tradition, is still favored by some greenkeepers. In our experience we have been unable to see any results whatever from the use of any form of charcoal. Animal charcoal would have some advantage over vegetable charcoal, inasmuch as it carries some phosphorus. We think you can rest assured the material would do no harm, but we doubt if there is any particular benefit to be derived from its use. It would have to be very cheap, in our judgement, to justify its use." |
