| Abstract/Contents: | Provides recommendations for "selecting the right topdressing material." Suggests that "it is important to know the texture of the soil in your rootzone, so start by obtaining a physical analysis of your soil." Explains that topdressing may help to increase water conductivity and organic soil matter content. Discusses the difference between using sand and organic materials in the form of compost for topdressing, and details the application processes of each. Concludes that "topdressing can not only smooth and therefore improve soil seed contact, which is critical to the success of an athletic field renovation." |
