How to make a Turf and Golf Course Divot Mix?
Here’s a Turf Divot Mix receipe using the following ingredients: – 6 oz. SwitchBack Turf Colorant Kameelyan Bremuda and Blue – 6 oz. water (Tru Mark recommends 48 oz. of water for a 1:8 ratio of colorant to water) – 50 lbs. sand – 9 shovels of compost – less than one quart of turf seed Use a small cement mixer to mix your divot mix, first adding sand, water, and turf colorant, then adding the compost and letting the mixer coat all the material. Adjust the color and coverage by adding either more water or coloran. Once thoroughly mix then add you turf seed and mix well to help start the germination process. The colorant coated sand and compost blends in better with the the existing surrounding turf. Using field marking colorant will help you minimize environmental hazards and adverse affects to the germinating grass seed. The colorant holds up long enough for the grass to grow back in the filled in divot area.
