| Answer/Response: | "Although it is not necessary to protect bent turf from cold by a winter topdressing or otherwise, yet where the soil is poor it will be benefited by an application of fertilizer during the fall or winter. Where, however, the soil is in good condition our advice would be to avoid heavy fertilizing with manure of any kind, as certain troubles, particularly grubs, are apt to follow. If you think that manuring is necessary, we would suggest that you apply it very lightly, so lightly that if the material is ground fine it will not interfere with putting; that is, so that it will all brush into the grass. Broadly speaking, we would say that when it is necessary to use manure on a green the quantity of well-rotted barnyard manure or finely ground sheep manure used should not exceed one-half ton to 6,000 square feet. This material can be applied as often as it may seem necessary; but in any event we advise light applications at a time. If sand is required as a part of your topdressing it is all right to mix the manure with sand, though it is probably less expensive to apply them separately. A discussion of the subject of fall and winter topdressing of putting greens will be found in THE BULLETIN, Vol. IV (1924), page 248." |
