Painting fairways is the way to go with new Endurant FW turf colorant from Geoponics. So green you can see it from the moon!
Instant natural green color saves money, time and water. Geoponics Endurant TC and Endurant TE have been wildly successful. Golf course superintendents asked for it and we answered with Endurant FW, new this year.
Endurant TC, turf colorant, is formulated for dormant grass. Endurant TE, paint with turf enhancer, is formulated for the health of actively growing grass. Now, Endurant FW, colorant for fairways, is– you guessed it– made specifically for use on fairways.

Agriox on approaches. A throwback Thursday photo collection of using Geoponics Agriox, which is an aerobic aeration conditioning product for soils and soil moisture providing critical life sustaining oxygen to microorganisms.
Agriox’s slow release of oxygen promotes overall soil health secondary to aerobic ecological sustainability in an environmentally proactive way. Superintendents have found year after year in their continued use of Agriox that the increase in soil oxygen allows for reduction of fertilizers, fungicides and pesticides due to increased plant sustainability making being environmentally friendly affordable. – See more at: https://www.geoponicscorp.com/soil-conditioners/agriox/#sthash.GJFvbSQ3.dpuf

Golf Course Superintendent Rob Vaughan of Brunswick Plantation Golf Resort kicked off a trend of painting fairways in Myrtle Beach three years ago, spurring others in the area to follow suit in recent years.
Now, three years later the trend is going national and international as told in Superintendent Magazine by writer Anthony Pioppi. www.TurfPaint.net
Since 2011, about nine other courses in the Myrtle Beach area have followed suit using turf colorant, particularly as an alternative to overseed.
The estimate is that in Florida nearly 30 courses are painting fairways, and the trend has spread to Arizona, Georgia and Alabama, as well as England, Italy and Australia– that list continues to grow quickly.
“We did it for turf health. We did it for economics,” says Vaughan, who has been bestowed the nickname “Dr. Paint,” of the course’s reason for abandoning overseeding.
Vaughan notes that by painting instead of growing ryegrass, he is saving $75,000 annually at the 27-hole course, and that includes the cost for painting, which averages about $15,000 a year.
Vaughan lauds the product effectiveness as does Jennifer Seevers, the turf colorants division manager at Naples, Fla.-based Geoponics Earth Chemistries, which supplies Vaughan with his colorants.

What is the best type of Christmas tree? There is no right answer, of course! However, here are some things to consider when choosing between a cut tree, an artificial tree and a living tree. Here are ways to factor in your space, budget and tastes, while also keeping the environment in mind when deciding whether to purchase a live, fake or cut tree.
A cut Christmas tree is great if you don’t have space to store a tree and you can recycle it after the holidays.
Cut tree
Pros:
1) Fragrant
2) Many sizes to fit your space
3) Many types, such as fir, spruce and pine
4) They can be recycled
Cons:
1) Some people are allergic
2) Pesticides and chemicals can be used to grow them
3) They can dry out easily causing a fire hazard
Artificial Christmas trees may lead to less waste and be the economical choice.
Artificial Trees
Pros:
1) Can potentially be less expensive than purchasing a cut or live tree annually
2) Non allergy prone
3) No waste to deal with after the holidays
4) No worries about watering
Cons:
1) The manufacturing process can include chemicals and methods that can harm the environment
2) Can be expensive or difficult to find a realistic-looking tree
3) You need space to store the tree throughout the year
A live Christmas tree can be the best environmental option if your landscape could use a tree.
Live trees
Pros:
1) Great way to add to your landscape if you were looking to add a tree
2) Can be the best environmental choice.
3) Fragrant
4) Several varieties are available, so it’s important to find one best for your climate
Cons:
1) They can be quite heavy with the roots and soil
2) Many can’t live indoors very long
3) Frozen dirt can pose a challenge for planting in some areas
4) Some varieities may not look like the traditional Christmas tree shape
