Perm O2 Pore™ Enhanced Root Zones
Outperform Conventional Growing Media
-
Drain excess, yet store ample available moisture
-
Wet & dry evenly
-
Increase C.E.C. yet flush readily
-
Promote beneficial microbes
-
Buffer temperatures
-
Provided "room to grow" for Aggressive new cultivars
-
Last indefinitely

A New Standard for
Ideal Soil for Turfgrass...
Certain physical Changes will occur in any root zone...
Drainage will decline, Aeration Porosity will decline.
So we build more of these Elements
into the system...
- Higher Initial Infiltration
- More Aeration Porosity
- And Adequate Moisture to Support Plants
