Abstract/Contents:Presents a report of Harvey's Sports Club in Blackheath, United Kingdom, providing recommendations on how to potentially improve the turf. Suggests that the application of iron sulphate be discontinued "as it reacts unfavourably with the silt which is always associated with sea-washed turf," adding that "mechanical treatment should receive first attention." Recommends the purchase of a mechanical rake for faster results and indicates that a fertilizer application may be necessary after raking and piercing is finished. Explains the possible advantage of removing starweed (Plantago coronopus) by hand, suggesting that "it is never advisable to eradicate this weed by means of mechanical treatment. Concludes that "healthy growth free from weeds can be obtained only by judicious fertiliser [fertilizer] treatment combined with intensive mechanical operations."
