Turf Rescue comparison “Biochar is a highly porous charcoal-like material thatimproves moisture and nutrient retention in soil while providing a habitat for beneficial soil microorganisms,” Turf Rescue’s biochar component acts like a sponge to retain water and nutrients at the grass root zone, increasing water use efficiency and reducing the need for fertilizer. Agromin’s OMRI-listed Compost 100 inoculates the biochar thereby incorporating beneficial microbes directly into the biochar and enhancing the process. “With California expanding its restrictions on water use, Turf Rescue is the perfect solution for cities, sports parks, golf courses, HOAs, commercial properties and homeowners who want to maintain green lawns while preserving California most precious resource, our water,” says Rick Wilson, vice-president of Cool Planet. Agromin and Cool Planet have spent the last year testing the product on lawns throughout southern California. “Our studies show that when Turf Rescue is applied to grass, water usage is cut significantly,” elementC6 recommends that Turf Rescue be installed by a professional landscaper. After a lawn is mowed and aerated, Turf Rescue is applied at a rate of 1 cubic ft. per 100 square feet of turf. Water is applied normally for 7 to 10 days after which the watering schedule is ready to be reduced. “Watering an average 20’ by 20’ lawn for 10 minutes with sprinklers gobbles up over 124 gallons of water,” says Camarillo. “Imagine the amount of water that could be saved over the course of a year if you could eliminate watering your grass by one or two days a week.” The environmental value of grass is significant. “Turf plays and important role in our ecosystem,” says Wilson. “Grass absorbs greenhouse gasses, converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. A 2,500 square foot lawn, for example, produces enough oxygen for a family of five. It also lowers surface temperatures. We’re excited that we will be able to give lawn owners an alternative to synthetic grass and hardscapes.” Turf Rescue is available throughout Southern California in bags or bulk.
