Manure [2]

An old-fashioned term, especially during the early 1900s, for a fertiliser. A good example is given in MacKenzie, Dr. A. (1920) Golf Architecture: " [they] should be used with a considerable amount of discretion and only in small quantities at a time. ... artificials are of the greatest ... value for golfing turf, ... and should be well diluted with soil or sand, and only used during moist weather. A mixture, consisting of superphosphate of lime, Sulphate of ammonia, and Sulphate of potash, supplies most of the feeding that is necessary for golf".
