Abstract

The practice of close-spaced vertical mulching does not appear to be the complete solution to the problem of improving old golf greens. Better irrigation systems are also needed to take advantage of the new root environment provided by the improved soil mix in the vertical mulch holes. The interrelationship between vertical mulching and other cultural practices is also being studied.
