Looking for sand material to build a USGA Green I found a sand that the infiltration rate is 411 mm/ H.
The books from the USGA Profile said , for Bermuda Grass you need 150-200 mm /H
For Bent Grass you need 300 mm / H
So my sand has 411 mm/ H .
This measure is not much? Lots of infiltration? Probable nutrient leaching?
The sand gave as a result of permeability 411 mm / H but physically it is seen of small granulometry the sand. Would you recommend another analysis in another laboratory?
