Abstract/Contents: | Discusses top dressing and its potential financial benefits, stating that "it firms and smoothes the surface and, by building up a layer of uniform, sand-dominated material, it maintains good drainage and air exchange, which helps prevent thatch accumulation." Suggests straight sand top dressing for "soil-based profiles[s] in which drainage could be improved and the existing top dressing is on the fine end of the recommended spectrum." Emphasizes "particle size analysis", "compatibility", "consistent use", and "integration" as factors to consider before switching to straight sand. |
