| Abstract/Contents: | Describes an experiment designed to "determine the moisture holding content of a constructed green with and without the intermediate layer using root mix that meets the specifications recommended by the USGA." Results indicate that "the presence or absence of the choker layer, and the depth significantly affected moisture content of the root zone mix, but did not affect the pore space or bulk density." |
