[USCC] Compost Use in Golf Greens Construction

[Frank Franciosi]

Dear Colleagues,

 

Is there anyone out there with information on using compost to replace
sphagnum peat moss in golf course greens construction?

I'm looking for USGA specifications and or actual references of courses and
or companies that have used it successfully. Also, how much compost as a
percentage of the total soil-less mix design? 

 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation concerning this request.

 

Sincerely,

 

Frank Franciosi
