Below is a list of common problems, how they are caused and which product is used to fix them. The products stated are the default products for the problem, however others may be required instead or in conjuction with them.

Compaction

Compaction is usually caused through the compression of the soil. This can be from players, vehicles or equipment. Eventually the roots do not grow in the soil but in the spaces between the particles.

Dry Patch

Dry Patch is a major problem in fine turf management. It mainly appears following dry spells, initially in isolated patches. The area becomes water repellent (hydrophobic) and rooting within this condition is generally poor.

PRODUCT USED: EarthZyme

Water Logging

Water Logging is caused by excess amounts of water in the soil.
