Advantages to using peat in today’s high-performance and sand-based sports fields:
• Peat is highly decomposed. It can provide a stable growing environment for your
turf, reducing soil compaction.
• Peat adds valuable water holding capacity and allows for better root penetration
and aeration—your turf requires less irrigation!
• Peat reduces thatch by creating an excellent environment for microorganisms.
“We have gone with sand systems to provide rapid drainage and prevent muddy
games, but sand alone is a poor growing medium. Peat holds water and nutrients
for
turf growth instead
of flushing them down
the drain and into
the environment.”
