| Abstract/Contents: | Drained golf greens require special soil mixes to maintain an adequate soil physical environment for continued root growth and function. Unless these mixes are designed properly, the original, unaltered soil may provide better results. A certain amount of amendment, the threshold proportion, is required before improvement is effected. The amount of amendment at the threshold is 75 to 90 percent of the total bulk volume of the components. Optimum soil mix depends on soil, amendment, climate, drainage depth, and plant species. The ideal mixture is difficult to determine without professional assistance and previous experience under similar conditions. |
