Abstract
- The article discusses the use of Compost Tea as a natural greenkeeping method for bowling greens. It explains that Compost Tea is a homemade spray that is applied to the turf to increase the micro life in the soil, which is essential for maintaining a healthy bowling green. The article highlights the negative effects of conventional greenkeeping practices, such as the overuse of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and the obsession with sand top-dressing. It suggests that Compost Tea can provide a fresh population of beneficial soil microbes, which can improve turf health and promote the growth of desired grass species. The article also provides information on how to get started with Compost Tea brewing. [Extracted from the article]
