How does Greenfix Turf Gel work?
Turf Gel's composition consists of a set of polymer chains that are parallel to each other, and structurally linked by cross-linking agents. This combination of polymers and cross-linking agents creates a network.

When water comes in contact with one of these chains, it is drawn into the molecule through osmosis. The water rapidly moves into the interior of the polymer network where it is stored. When the soil begins to dry out, the polymer slowly releases the stored water. Up to 95 percent of the accumulated water is released back into the soil.

How does Turf Gel help with fertilizers?
Fertilizers work well until an abundance of water causes them to disintegrate or leach out of the soil, and lose their effectiveness. When Turf Gel absorbs water, it enables the fertilizer to remain in the soil for a longer period of time. This ongoing release of nutrients and water nourishes the plant for a significantly longer time and produces healthier growth.

How does Turf Gel help in large-scale agriculture and nurseries?
The importance of Turf Gel in agriculture and in commercial nurseries cannot be overestimated. Hundreds of thousands of acres are used for farming, as commercial gardens and nurseries. Turf Gel offers a way to conserve water significantly, as well as reduce the labor and cost of irrigation.

When Turf Gel is used in planting, it promotes good aeration of the soil. The storage and subsequent release of rain and irrigation water then provides the seeds with ongoing nourishment and allows them to germinate into stronger, more viable plants. Agricultural businesses can use less water to produce an abundant yield and avoid the loss of plants from insufficient water and nutrients.

The same holds true for those in arboriculture and large areas of turf growth, like sod farms and golf courses. With Turf Gel added to the soil of newly planted trees, bushes and samplings (is this supposed to be saplings?), the plants have a greater chance for root development and are less likely to suffer transplanting shock. In large areas of turf and sod, Turf Gel can be applied topically or mixed into the soil before the seedlings are planted or sod laid. Turf Gel gives growth a strong start with better seed germination and faster root development.

What about home lawns and gardens?
For new lawns and gardens, Turf Gel Granular should be mixed into the soil by broadcasting or applying with a fertilizer spreader, then mixing it into the soil. For existing lawns, Turf Gel Topical can be applied with any standard spraying equipment.

When planting trees or shrubs, dig the hole for the new plant, mix Turf Gel into the evacuated soil, saving a small amount of untreated soil. Then place the root ball into the hole and fill the hole around the root ball with the Turf Gel and soil combination. Top off with the untreated soil.

Is Turf Gel safe for the environment?
With no harsh chemicals or toxic additives, Turf Gel will, over time, break down and remain harmlessly into the soil. One of the advantages of Turf Gel Granular is that it remains effective for three to five years, gradually breaking down into the soil at a rate dependant upon climatic conditions and the size of the particles of Turf Gel.
