| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the soil structure of putting greens. Suggests that "the sub-soil is important to the turf on the green insofar as it influences drainage and the rise of water from below by capillary attraction." Emphasizes that "no depressions or pockets should be left to collect water and toxic materials, and no sharp or high mounds should be left to shed water and dry out quickly." States that "for safety's sake tile underdrainage should be put in clay and silt sub-soils." Defines soil texture as "the six of the soil particle." |
