Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential importance of periodically having soil tests because "by knowing the nutrient and PH levels of the soil, one can implement a better fertilization program." Mentions that soils and sands "should be tested for gradation and water perculation rate." Concludes that by spending the money on a soil test, one could "rebuild the greens with a better grade of sand and eliminate the sparse hard greens that would not hold water." |
