Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Manny Francis and his "[breakthrough] in creating and maintaining greens of the highest quality [with] the use of hardwood sawdust as the main ingredient when topdressing putting surfaces." Describes the properties that sawdust acquires when applied to sawdust, stating that "it's a wetting agent...Therefore, it not only cuts back on the amount of water needed to irrigate a green, it cuts back on the time, money, and manpower used in watering the plants." States that "topdressing with sawdust [is] an aid in treating troubled areas...[it can be used] where the grass gets thin, especially in areas where spike marking takes its toll." |
