| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "mushroom soil is inferior to humus for turf building purposes, due to the fact that the constituents that go to make up mushroom soil are nothing other than a mixture of clay, marl and horse manure." Lists potential advantages of using humus, suggesting that "soils well supplied with humus: - are more easily tilled"; "have a better and more uniform water supply"; and "have more plant food and in a more readily available condition than soils not so supplied." Provides potential disadvantages of the use of mushroom soil, suggesting that "often greens treated with mushroom soil are attacked with the 'Brown Patch' disease or a mildew fungus." |
