Brown grass is a turn-off. Get noticed instantly with turf colorant. Whether that brown grass is due to drought or lack of water during foreclosure or water restrictions, overcome the challenge instantly with turf paint. Endurant turf colorant is a solution being used during both the housing and drought crisis in California and across the U.S.

Endurant’s turf pigment is natural– safe for pets, children, wildlife and players on golf courses and athletic fields. It can be applied to grass, whether dormant grass or actively-growing grass, mulch, pine straw, sand and even ponds. For actively growing grass, we recommend Endurant TE. The turf enhancer of Endurant TE adds even more nutrients for healthy soil and turf when in the active growing phase.

As for that astounding before and after picture above, that home lawn turned brown in-deed due to drought. But, the water was turned off because of foreclosure as well.

“There is a lot of this going on due to the housing issues in California. The cities are citing owners and banks in the foreclosure community for letting their landscapes go. Endurant is their only cost effective and quick option,” said Jimi Davis, of Foster-Gardner, in Southern California.

Davis offered another tip: “Transition from ryegrass to Bermuda and you will see a lot of drought and transition problems– brown areas!  Endurant is a great tool to correct these visual problems for homeowners, HOA’s and golf courses.”

The United States Golf Association encourages using turf colorant over the practice of overseeding and golf course superintendents are quickly jumping on board choosing to paint with Endurant pigment instead of choosing to overseed. Picking the best turf colorant product is crucial in experiencing the full savings of coloring versus overseeding. Golf Course Superintendent Grayson Grainger of St. James Plantation in Southport, NC, shares why he chose to use Endurant.

The USGA has sited multiple benefits of painting (learn more  about painting vs. overseeding here) to turf managers and greenskeepers, including saving money, time, water and harmful chemical usage, while increasing course play time. There is no question about the benefits of using a turf colorant versus overseeding– especially if you choose the best colorant on the market. So, once you’ve decided you’d like to experience those benefits of painting or coloring, how do you move forward?

Golf Course Superintendent Grayson Grainger of St. James Plantation shared how he came to the conclusion it would be better to color his greens instead of overseeding. Read his blog here about how he made that decision to use a dye on all of the greens at the St. James Plantation. Then, he had to decide which turf pigment brand to use and how to proceed. He chose Endurant (www.TurfPaint.net).

Grainger shares in the paragraphs below about how he came to choose Geoponics brand turf colorant, Endurant, and his experience with the product. In his words:

      We use a product called  Endurant turf colorant. This product is a non-toxic, equipment and environmentally friendly organic pigment used to color dormant turf. This product is not really a paint. We chose this colorant based on university test results and local recommendations. We will only be able to analyze the efficacy of this selection as the winter moves forward. As of this post, we are extremely pleased with our results.
Endurant, as stated above, is sprayer friendly. This means that this product will not damage the internal parts of our sprayer systems. Paints and other colorants tend to cause severe damage to sprayers which can cost clubs thousands of dollars in repairs. The fact that we could apply this product directly through our green’s sprayer was another factor for choosing this colorant. The ability to use our sprayer reduced the time and cost of utilizing specialized equipment for the application.

     We were able to color all of the greens in three hours with one man using the above method. This process will be repeated one or two more times through January and February. We are confident that this turf colorant will provide more than satisfactory color and playing conditions through the winter.

WEEDS! WEEDS! WEEDS! Have you caught yourself screaming these words?

An older fella that had literally decades under his belt in the landscaping industry said once, “MULCH, MULCH, MULCH! That is the secret to good gardening.”  Sound simple? Well, it is really.

Mulch is basically any material organic or not that is placed over a surface of the soil to conserve moisture, kill weed seedlings, moderate the temperature and make the garden or landscape more attractive.  You could say it does all of that at the same time.  In the old days mulch was meant to be natural, organic materials such as leaves, bark, wood chips, sand or stone.  Well times have changed. Now there are literally dozens upon dozen of options to include plastic films to woven or non-woven geo-fabrics.

For the most part there is a common goal in mulching and that is reduce the time and hassle of weeding. Here we have listed some common materials both inorganic or seed-free organic mulches:

• Wood Chips: Find a local arborist in your area.  Usually they are glad to rid themselves of horticultural waste.  Or the best option is to find composted wood chips from a local soil or amendment supplier.  Usually sold by the yard or truck load.
• Newspaper: Newspaper can be used either shredded or laid flat.  It is great for water retention. Make sure to wet it so that it does not blow away.  Apply a thin layer of weed free attractive mulch on top of it.
• Pine Straw: Pine straw is esthetically pleasing to the eye.  It is best used for acid loving plants.
• Shredded Bark: Use this type of mulch around trees and other noticeable areas as this type of mulch is quite attractive.
• Grass Clippings: Grass clippings can be used making sure that the clippings come from a weed and pesticide free lawn.
• Leaves: Leaves are good choice if the leaves are shredded or composted.

Inorganic mulch like that of gravel, landscape fabric, sand and stone are other options and do hold in moisture, however it should be noted that these options do not add fertility to the soil.  It is best to use this type of mulch around perennials, shrubs or trees that are naturally occurring and do not require additional fertilizer.

You can get the most out of your gardening pleasure by using fertile organic mulch.  By doing so you can control weeds and provide a small amounts of nutrients to the soil. All organic composted mulches made from plant material fall into this category. Some mulches will decompose faster than others depending on the make up of the mulch. The mulches that quickly decompose are useful in annual flower and vegetable beds.  When rain or irrigation water comes into contact with this type of decomposing mulch, the nutrients leach into the soil to be taken up by the plant.

There are other organic mulches that are more slow release or slow to decompose and provide few nutrients.  These types are usually dry and woody and are usually low in nitrogen. These are typically the bark type mulches.  The bark type mulches are for the most part resistant to rotting. Usually is best to use these around trees or paths.  Fresh wood chips can make excellent mulch, however it is suggested that an external source of nitrogen be used.

Here is a list of other mulch sources:

• rice hulls
• cocoa shells
• cardboard
• sugar cane refuse
• ground corncobs
• peanut shells
• saw dust
• hops
• Peat
• straw
• gravel
• recycled rubber tires
