Turface MVP fights
infield compaction

hop injuries. MVP
absorbs its weight in
water, allowing play

Perfect Blend Organic Fertilizer
Considered by many to be the most effective organic fertilizer in the world
Perfect Blend builds complex nutrition enabling fertilizers -CNEF - using an
in depth knowledge of soil micro-biology and is one of the very few organic
fertilizers designed and manufactured to be a complete uniform homogeneous
product with a constant pH; each granule is the sum of the total fertilizer
ingredients!
Perfect Blend applications are usually required only two or three times a
year. Plus it will not leach into water features or creeks and actually restores
damaged or low performance turf areas. It supplies turf applications with
year-round deep green color that synthetics are unable to provide.
