| Abstract/Contents: | "A laboratory study was conducted to examine the properties of several organic amendments for use in sand-dominated golf green rootzones in order to judge their relative merits. Ten organic amendments, including peat, were mixed at different ratios with two different sands. Hardness values and bulk density were found to decrease with the increase in incorporation rates of the amendments. Conversely, shear strength and loss on ignition values were found to have a negative relationship with amendment incorporation rate. Where measured, the pH of the non-peat rootzones was far greater than for peat mixes (6.5-8.4 compared with 4.6, respectively for the 70:30 mixes) and this was identified as a possible disadvantage for some non-peat products compared with the peat. The use of organic amendment materials is discussed in light of findings presented in this paper and results from an earlier phase of the work in which drainage rates and porosity were measured and compared with the United States Golf Association's recommendations for the physical properties of rootzone mixes." |
