Abstract/Contents: | "The effect of peat applied at rates of 0, 5, 10, and 20% (by volume) in a sand carpet construction were studied for a period of two years, during which time the trial area was subjected to simulated football-type wear. The amount of peat had little effect on ground cover, traction or the turf quality as the material dried. In the first four months of simulated wear the peat reduced the hardness of the surface and ball rebound resilience. Thereafter, the effects were not large enough to have an important influence on playing quality. Compared to unamended sand, peat contents of 20% reduced the infiltration rates by about 38%. The depth of the peat layer appeared to have no significant affect on any of the properties that were measured." |
