Take Your Lawn to the Next Level with TurfGro
Promote Rapid Root Growth Development
TurfGro is a rich blend of organic compost, USGA approved 2mm sand and topsoil. This incredible fine-screened mixture promotes rapid root growth development, which is essential for creating a lawn, topdressing existing lawns and repairing lawn damage.
Use Less Fertilizer & Pesticides
TurfGro means healthier lawns, requiring MUCH less fertilizer and pesticides.
Healthier turf is more resistant to diseases and drought.
When used in conjunction with core aeration, TurfGro will provide critical nutrients to the roots while increasing airflow and drainage.
Innovation, Science and Repeated Testing
The ingredients in TurfGro are thoroughly tested using the best analytical labs in the country such as Turf and Soil Diagnostics, UMass, and Penn State. The results are consistently incredible. Our topsoil and compost are made in Harwich. Virgin sand with no silt or clay is super fine-screened for drainage and contains beneficial nutrients like iron, magnesium, and calcium.
Unlike other topdressing products on the market, we use NO human waste on our TurfGro topdressing, only all natural ingredients go in the compost and topsoil.
Our TurfGro has a PH of 6.8, so there is no need to add lime to reduce the acidity.
Our cation exchange for the TurfGro is 18.6, which is excellent!
WHAT IS CEC & HOW DOES IT IMPACT SOIL FERTILITY?
-
- Why is it that turf doesn’t grow well on a sandy beach?
- Why do some soils leach nutrients more so than others?
- What are the characteristics of a ‘fertile’ soil versus a ‘nutrient-deficient’ soil?
These questions are directly related to a term that is often mentioned in the turf and soil sciences, but not well understood by many in the industry.
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) has a direct impact on soil fertility and overall plant health.

Cation exchange is the process by which positively charged ions (cations) are absorbed onto negatively charged surfaces. This process can occur in soil, in chromatography, and in membranes.
In soil
- Cation exchange capacity (CEC) measures how many cations soil particles can hold.
- CEC is a property of soil that describes how well it can provide nutrients to plants.
- Soil clay minerals and organic matter have negative charges that attract positively charged cations.
- Cations can exchange with other cations in the soil solution.
- Adding lime or organic matter can improve CEC.
In chromatography
- Cation exchange chromatography separates molecules like amino acids, nucleotides, and proteins.
- Cation exchange resins can be used in prepacked columns or as bulk media.
In membranes
- Cation exchange membranes are permeable to cations, but mostly impermeable to anions.
Other applications
- Cation exchange reactions are used in thermometers.
- Cation exchange can be used to purify RNase P.
