Origin or History of Topdressing

Jonathan S. Jennings, CGCS, Chicago Golf Club, Wheaton, Il, USA in his pdf publication: http://www.lib.msu.edu/tic/mtc2002/025.pdf; and Garry Burchfield in Ground Maintenance, June1, 2000, in his article Topdressing gaining favor with LCOshttp://bg.grounds-mag.com/ar/grounds_maintenance_topdressing_gaining_favor/ site

They both mention the venerable greens keeper, Tom Morris,of early St. Andrews days was a pioneer in the use of topdressing for golf greens.

Jennings goes on that the development of topdressing applications first took hold on golf courses by using sand and seeding South German bentgrass. His article goes through better than a century citing different publications and and successful applications of topdressing on golf courses. For the full story please download his excellent expose.

Burchfield in his article indicates that the practice of topdressing has moved into the area of residential and commercial natural, organic lawn care. He further states that many different organic substances are being added to the soil.

We agree with Burchfield about the benefit to topdress with compost. The benefits are innumerable. To get the History and Use on Topdressing please read his article.

We at www.topdressing.biz salute these two gentlemen for their diligent research and whish them all the best in the pursuit of further topdressing stories.
