| Question: | "We have just completed installing 18 grass greens. We have also just built a swimming pool. The water for the 18 greens is furnished through a pressure system from the swimming pool. The capacity of the pool is 134,000 gallons, and the water quickly becomes unsightly for swimming, due to the rapid growth of a green moss or algae. To combat this, we use 30 ounces of copper sulfate every other day. Nine greens are sprinkled per day, and approximately 67,500 gallons of water from the pool are used for the nine. Will you kindly advise us if the amount of copper sulfate used is injurious to the grass, as it would be ruinous to our approaching playing season to have anything happen to these new greens?" |

| Answer/Response: | "According to the figures contained in your letter, you are using 30 ounces of copper sulfate every other day in the pool, which contains 134,000 gallons of water, and that you use approximately 67,500 gallops of water every day for watering nine greens. This means that you are applying an average of 1⅔ ounces of copper sulfate to each green every other day, and assuming that you water each green 150 days in the year you are applying an average of a little over 15½ pounds to each green per year. This is too much copper. We believe that it will only be a period of a few years at the most before you will have an accumulation of copper in the soil which will be very detrimental to the turf grasses." |
