PRODUCT UPDATECALCINED-CLAYSOIL AMENDMENT

Duraplay, a calcined-clay soil amend-ment manufactured by Sportsfields, Inc.,can help solve three major problemsregarding the playability of athletic fields.

According to the manufacturer, the soilamendment drains more than twice as fastas sand, so excess water vanishes fastenough to resume play following adownpour.

It reduces compaction to provide a bettergrowing medium for the turf. The amend-ment also improves footing on the skinnedareas, improves the playability of the sur-faces, and reduces maintenance on theskinned surfaces.

In addition, it corrects moisture retentionfor a healthier turf, improved rooting, andless watering.
