| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles several soil amendment products and discusses possible benefits to using soil amendments. States that "just as successful sports teams are built on solid fundamental skills, outstanding sports fields must start with optimal soils. All turf needs a good balance of air, water, and nutrients in the soil to thrive." Explains that "with heavy play and practice schedules, sports fields easily become compacted, resulting in worn or bare turf areas. By adding porosity to the soil with inorganic soil amendments, even the hardest native soils can be amended to allow turf to recover more quickly and respond faster to regular maintenance." |
