Early Order Program: Save on perfect-looking turf

There is no better time to purchase turf colorant! Geoponics Early Order Program offers the best prices of the year on Endurant turf colorants now through September.

Colorant is the leading alternative to overseeding warm-season grasses and is also popular among turfgrass managers to improve the appearance of cool-season grasses during drought, summer stress and/ or winter stress as the colorant quickly conceals turf blemishes.

Endurant turf colorants How to paint turf for a lasting impression
Lawns, golf courses, football fields, baseball fields, horse race tracks, sod farms– these are some of the places Endurant is keeping grass green while saving money and replacing the practices of over-seeding, over-watering, over-fertilizing and over-spending.

Whether for golf courses or other turfgrass applications, the Early Order Program makes the late summer the ideal time for purchase of all Endurant colorants—whether for actively growing grass or to be applied on dormant grass. For turfgrass managers planning to use colorant to minimize or replace overseed, the savings are the greatest.

Choosing Endurant turf colorant instead of overseed often presents savings as much as 50 percent on water usage alone! Other savings include time, labor, seed and other overseed-related expenses.

Geoponics offers several turf colorant options in the Endurant line of colorants, including Endurant TE for actively growing grass that has lower costs per application and can be used in combination with other colorants for seasonal transitions.

Green lawns are no problem with Endurant Organic Turf Paint the colorant for homes and used by turf professionals and golf course superintendents for years to get green grass fast.
ORDER NOW TO SAVE

Endurant turf paint is best known for its cost-saving and natural look as an alternative to overseed to keep warm-season grass green during winter months. This practice can also lead to early spring time green up. Even cool-season grasses benefit from Endurant turf colorant for flawless aesthetic appeal.

Endurant turf colorants can be applied anytime, but Endurant instant overseed works particularly well on semi-dormant turfgrass before the grass is straw brown. Ordering this summer and applying Endurant turf colorants early this fall can be a great savings while getting optimal results.

The Early Order Program can be applied to any products in the Endurant line purchased this summer and applied to the turfgrass at anytime.

These colorant savings include but are not limited to the most popular Endurant products, such as Endurant TE: turf colorant with turf enhancer for actively growing grass; Endurant Premium: a dark green turf paint reminiscent of a rich, bright green lime peel; Endurant PR for a perennial rye grass look reminiscent of looking over the golf courses of Augusta; Endurant Fairway and others.

SoilPlex: Nourish and detox soil for healthy plants

SoilPlex enriches soil giving plants the nutrition they need — while eliminating toxins.

With its humic and fulvic acids, SoilPlex also increases water infiltration and water-holding capacity in soil, making it a tool for growing the healthiest lawns, gardens and plants, while conserving water and fertilizer.

healthy soil
Healthy soil includes the humic and fulvic acids of SoilPlex to increase plant nutrition and decrease toxin intake.

What is SoilPlex?

SoilPlex is a natural humic acid derived from humate and has a natural carbon source. The most prominent and well-known benefit of SoilPlex is the increased nutrient uptake in plants.

SoilPlex is OMRI listed, meaning it’s 100 percent certified organic, and processed using strict guidelines to ensure the highest quality available. SoilPlex may be used as a soil amendment, foliar spray or fertilizer enhancer.

Being in liquid form, it is fast acting and highly effective at delivering humic acids deep into the soil and to the plant. In combination with fertilization, it allows the user to get the most out of their fertilization program and will reduce the amount of nutrients necessary to produce healthy plants.

Soil Applications

In the soil, SoilPlex’s humic and fulvic acids are important chelators, binding minerals into organic compounds that are more available to plants. SoilPlex’s humic and fulvic acids also tie up the soil’s toxins, making them less available to plants.

Toxins are increasingly common, as they have been accumulating in soil for many years, including from pesticides and heavy metals. These pollutants degrade the soil, and without remediation, degrade plant and crop health as well. SoilPlex helps to bind and lock up these toxic molecules.

Further, the humic acids from SoilPlex allow the nutrients provided by fertilizers to become accessible to plants, so money is not lost and plant health doesn’t suffer due to poorly absorbed fertilizer. In this way, SoilPlex increases the health of plants while benefiting growers economically.

Foliar Applications

Soil Plex increases nutrient uptake through foliar applications as well as through soil.

Paired with fulvic acids, humic acids are vital for increasing cell wall permeability in plants. When cell membranes become more permeable, nutrients can more easily enter through the plant, often carried by fulvic acids, which are particularly good chelators, or binders.

SoilPlex soil conditioner is organic certified through OMRIADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF SOILPLEX

  • SoilPlex is a Geoponics‘ product that is OMRI Listed® for organic growing through the Organic Materials Review Institute.
  • SoilPlex promotes healthy root growth as humic acid creates space for microbes. This is especially noticeable in high-clay and compacted soils, where soil particles are bound tightly together.
  • SoilPlex increases water retention by actually reducing evaporation by up to 30 percent.
  • Use of SoilPlex creates a healthy microbiome.
  • Humic and fulvic acids in SoilPlex perform similarly to the plant growth hormone Auxin, which promotes plant growth and root development, and results in improved plant health as well as increased production of fruits and vegetables.
  • SoilPlex will also increase and enhance microbial activity aiding in the maintenance of healthy aerobic soil profiles.
  • SoilPlex aggregates soil, reducing sodium build up.
  • Learn more from the SoilPlex PDF.

SoilPlex is ideal for use in:

FertaFlow provides the nutrients plants need to stay healthy and can be absorbed through foliar or via root absorption. FertaFlow is a food source of naturally occurring microorganisms readily available to the plant.

FertaFlow’s superiority is in part due to the slow, cool processing method that retains oils, enzymes, vitamins, hormones, proteins and amino acids essential for optimal plant growth. Many other brands strip away these essential nutrients.

WHEN TO USE FERTAFLOW

Fertilize your lawn and garden on time this spring. If you’re in a cold winter region, doing so when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. When the grass starts growing, it’s time.

FertaFlow is appropriate for many uses in the garden and is useful as a lawn fertilizer in early spring and to feed leafy green vegetables.

An additional application may be planned about four weeks later, around mid- to late- May. Then fertilize every six to eight weeks after that straight through October, or beyond, depending upon the growing region.

FERTAFLOW IS ORGANIC, OMRI LISTED 

Be proud of what you’re growing using FertaFlow and be proud of how you’re growing it. FertaFlow is one of Geoponics’ products that is OMRI Listed® for organic growing through the Organic Materials Review Institute.

Purchase FertaFlow here and visit the Geoponics Shop for other products ideal for lawns, gardens, farms, golf courses, athletic fields and other applications.

 

BENEFITS OF FERTAFLOW INCLUDE:

  • Produces strong, beautiful flowers; deep green turf; and delicious fruits and vegetables.
  • Promotes the growth of soil microorganisms.
  • Will not burn plants or stripe.
  • Efficient for use with spray or drip irrigation systems.
  • Cold processed to preserve nutrients with no fishy odor.
  • Environmentally-friendly, organic, biodegradable product.

WHY FERTAFLOW?

FertaFlow is made from fresh fish carefully processed at low temperatures to maintain the integrity of naturally occurring nutrients.

The majority of fish fertilizers on the market are known as emulsions, meaning the fish is cooked and the oil removed for industrial chemicals. Also, the protein is removed and dried to make fish meal for livestock feeds. The remaining waste is condensed into a thick liquid called an emulsion. FertaFlow, however, is cold processed to retain the living organisms and all the natural oils and proteins nature originally provided.

FertaFlow is made from a unique source of fresh fish. The enzymatic process used takes nature’s protein and makes it readily absorbable for plant leaves and roots. FertaFlow provides all the nutrients you would expect from fish without the unpleasant smell. FertaFlow will promote beautiful flowers, lush green lawns and turf, and delicious fruits and vegetables.

MORE BENEFITS:

  • No strong fishy odor
  • Low cost per application
  • Ease of use
  • Will not stripe or burn
  • 100% organic
  • Promotes the growth of soil microorganisms
  • Cold processed to preserve nutrients
  • Made from a renewable & sustainable resource

  • Formulated for both foliar & root zone applications
  • 100% fish protein broken down into readily absorbable nutrients
  • Efficient for use with spray or drip irrigation systems
  • Environmentally- friendly, organic and biodegradable product
  • FertaFlow PDF

UNDERSTANDING FERTILIZER NUMBERS

For home users who may be less familiar, the three numbers that you see on FertaFlow, and other fertilizer labels, tell you what proportion of each macronutrient the fertilizer contains. The first number is always nitrogen (N), the second is phosphorus (P) and the third is potassium (K).

Nitrogen provides for lush, green plant growth; phosphorous and potassium will promote better root growth and potassium provides for overall health and vigor.

FertaFlow’s Guaranteed Analysis: 2-3-1

Total Nitrogen (N)………………………….. 2.0%

Water Soluble Nitrogen………………        1.7%

Water Insoluble Nitrogen…………….      0.3%

Available Phosphate (P2O2)…………….   3.0%

Soluble Potash (K2O)……………………..   1.0%

*Derived from protein hydrolysate, allowing for greater absorption

Lawn paints help build small businesses

Green lawn paints continue to build more small businesses following a post-drought business boom.

Lawn painting businesses were booming in the western U.S. throughout one of California’s most severe droughts. While drought relief has come to many areas with increased precipitation, the businesses continue to grow.

Lawn paints provide relief to property owners looking for instant results. Often lawn paints are the solution to use when a lawn needs to be spruced up quickly for an event, such as for a wedding. Sometimes the cause for a dry, stressed or damaged lawn is severe unexpected weather, poor longterm maintenance of soil health, chemical/ fertilizer burns, pet urine stains and/or stress due to heat, traffic or other causes.

Curb appeal is restored with Lawn Picasso. The long California drought has left otherwise gorgeous properties with drab, brown grass. Lawn Picasso, using Endurant organic turf paint provides the solution.
Three years after height of California drought, lawn painting businesses still growing. File photo: Lawn Picasso grass painting business is launched in 2014 to provide the most eco-friendly solution to brown grass during California drought using Endurant organic turf colorant.

Endurant PR provides vibrant green of perennial rye grass

Endurant PR: Perennial Rye Grass Colorant

Endurant has a full line of turfgrass colorants to match the most popular turfgrass species. Endurant PR is perennial rye grass colorant to provide the color of the vibrant and popular bright green of perennial rye.

Endurant PR Twitter Kevin Smith
Wow! That’s Endurant PR giving golf course superintendent Kevin Smith a rich perennial rye look. Due to completely dormant existing turf, Smith chose to apply at a higher than average rate. Endurant PR is often applied to fairways at rates between 6 and 10 gallons per acre. Endurant PR is recommended to be applied on greens at rates of 2 to 5 gallons per acre.

Choosing the application rate is as important as choosing the shade of green. So once you know it’s perennial rye grass colorant that you desire, now you need to select the best application rate. Application rates vary based on many factors including the current shade of grass, current depth of color and desired depth of color. Dormant grass that is completely brown due to drought or dormancy might do better with a higher application rate while grass that is still producing chlorophyl through photosynthesis will have more green color in the grass blade already and may require lower application rates.

Endurant PR’s recommended application rates for fairways range from 6 to 10 gallons per acre. Endurant PR is recommended to be applied on greens at rates of 2 to 5 gallons per acre. Below you see the results of a lower application rate providing a lighter green compared with the higher application rate that provides a brighter green. The colorant is the same and both are applied to dormant turf, but the resulting color depth creates a very different effect based on the application rate.

Here is a look at Endurant PR perennial rye grass colorant applied at a lower than average application rate at Legacy Hills golf course in Georgetown, TX.

Endurant PR, Perennial Rye Grass Colorant, was applied at a rate of 2 gallons per acre to give the look of lighter perennial rye grass.
