Abstract/Contents: | "If the cost and availability of topsoils for topdressing limits the extent to which such treatments can be undertaken, alternatives need to be considered. In the first instance, careful analysis of the reasons for soil topdressing is essential. In many cases, large amounts of soil topdressing are applied to compensate for deficiencies in areas such as construction, drainage and management. Methods that will reduce the requirement for imported topsoils for use on sportsfields include: * addressing the problems that necessitate the application of large amounts of soil topdressing. * additional/alternative renovation treatments. * soil mining from sportsfields using treatments like coring. *using alternative materials such as sand and compost. Finally, the use of topsoil quality specifications will help to ensure that only good quality materials are used." |
