USGA Summary Points: | Soil infiltration was not affected in the first two years after grow-in, but decreased significantly in the third year after grow-in and continues to decrease as the green matures. As a green matures, it appears that the depth of organic matter accumulation increased over time. Greens that are more than four years old have a visable organic matter accumulation three to four times thicker than a green that is less than two years old. A rootzone mix containing soil, however, does not decrease more, or at a faster rate than a rootzone mix which does not contain soil. |
