Question:"We are building a new golf course, and the architect specifies a large quantity of stable manure to be used on both the greens and the fairways. It is impossible to secure stable manure here, and to attempt to buy it and have it shipped in carloads would be prohibitive. We are securing from time to time the little we can get in the neighborhood, for composting in connection with the upkeep of our old course. What fertilizer would you recommend as a substitute for the manure?"
Source of Question:Pennsylvania
Answer/Response:"In the past there has been a tendency to use too much manure in preparing soil for putting greens. A modest amount is all right. As for the actual fertilizing of turf, this can be controlled from above by applications of ammonium sulfate or ammonium phosphate and topdressings. Your attention is invited to the article in THE BULLETIN, Vol. IV (1924), page 141. In the absence of barnyard manure we would recommend tankage or fish scrap as the organic fertilizing element for your soil. Our results with bone meal are not altogether satisfactory. Bone meal contains lime to such an extent that it greatly encourages the growth of weeds, and the use of lime in any form should be avoided."
