| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the theory that supports the reason that "some courses had suffered so much more catastrophically than others" in the harsh winters of '61 and '62 which is that "where the soil-structure of greens had least successfully been looked after, so that aeration was poor, and there was compaction of the soil (often at more than one level), the effects of the ice-sheet were disastrous." Mentions that autumn dressing of greens became more intense to "strengthen the turf reserves for winter, and to help it [greens] to store up food for itself during the cold season." Suggests that compost can correct "unhealthy turf, shorter roots, and compaction" and "improve the soil's exchange capacity, which is the soil's ability to retain plant nutrients and moisture." |
