There are fewer places with more perfectly manicured turf than a golf course. Those whose job it is to keep these recreational areas looking green and beautiful are called “Greenskeepers” or “Golf Course Groundskeepers”. Over the past few years, these turf pro’s have reached out to Tim Wallace Soil Mix Supply regarding custom blends to address some or all of the turf issues at their facility. From divot repair and fairway topdressings to perennial and annual planting beds, each has its own special soil requirements.
Rather than simply creating stock blends for this industry, Tim Wallace Soil Mix Supply allows each groundskeeper to choose the components from our product line – in the ratio needed, to create a soil blend that meets their need. Below is the list of the available soil mix components that can be used to create a Golf Course Specialty Blend:
- Topsoil – screened, pulverized black dirt, kept dry
- Composted Horse Manure – aged and turned regularly
- Organic Compost – decomposed plant materials
- Mushroom Compost – straw, horse manure, hardwood fines, peat
- Purple Cow Classic Compost – decomposed plant material finely screened and guaranteed to be weed seed and pathogen free
- Peat (It’s recommended to not exceed 25% of peat for any blend.)
- PennMulch® – a pelleted seeding mulch uniquely formulated to include starter fertilizer
- Fine Sand – helps retain moisture and keep soil loose
- Coarse Sand – helps control excess moisture and keep soil loose
