| Question: | "We have a contract with an express company to take their entire output of manure, which amounts to about two loads a day. We allow this manure to rot for about a year, and then use it on our fairways. Some of this manure contains chips, which had been used for bedding in the place of straw. It has been claimed by some that there is tannic acid in these chips, which is injurious to the grass. In our experience, however, the manure with the chips in it has been a benefit to our fairways. Do you think that in time the presence of the chips on the fairways will injure the turf" |

| Answer/Response: | "Manure containing shavings or chips has been used for a long time on grass without injuring it in the least. The only objection to the use of such material is that the shavings become unsightly unless raked up. The rotting of these chips can be speeded up greatly by scattering ammonium sulfate over your manure piles and watering it in, as described in the article in the BULLETIN, Vol. II, 1922, page 36." |
