Sod farmers are getting their sod to market faster using Endurant turf colorants to give turfgrass a boost of green during the transition from winter to spring. The benefits of Endurant are immediate, lasting and applicable year-round for cool season and warm season grasses.
Endurant gets the sod to the market faster and makes sod last longer, adding more sales potential and decreasing waste of otherwise browning grass at retail centers.
Top benefits reported by sod farmers using Endurant turf color enhancers:
Sod growers, golf course superintendents, and lawn & landscape professionals share tips to stay green even in a late seasonal cold snap. Turfgrass professionals have learned how to prevent frost damage and recover from cold weather to get turf back in the swing of spring. Penterra and Endurant turf colorants provide prevention and recovery.

Endurant, www.TurfPaint.net, also helps with instant green results plus added warmth, smoother seasonal transitions and increased chlorophyll during colder weather transitions.[/caption]
If your grass doesn't look like spring, Endurant TE can help.
Just as it was time to spring forward the clocks, many turf lovers felt more like they were flung back into winter. Endurant TE, a turf color enhancer for growing grass, helps turfgrass professionals transition smoothly from winter to spring. Late season frosts and snowstorms have many lawns, golf courses and sod farms not quite looking like spring. Endurant TE will bring spring to your customers, golfers, and visitors by giving the green color they desire.

NASCAR got TV ready faster than ever using Endurant grass paint
When it comes to NASCAR, it’s not just the cars that could use some extra paint. NASCAR recently used Endurant turf colorant to rev up for the races.
NASCAR knows how to cover their tracks. Tire tracks went from zero to green in record time using Endurant turf colorant. And watching paint dry is nothing in comparison to waiting for grass to grow in time for the next NASCAR race. When it comes to getting green grass fast, Endurant turf colorant puts the pedal to the metal for a huge acceleration toward beautiful green grass.
Endurant isn't just fast. It also lasts, up to 3 months, depending upon the rate of growth, mowing, and off track maneuvers from race car drivers.
Before and after photos using Endurant Premium turf colorant on the NASCAR race track:

We don't mean roundup as in hazardous chemicals. We mean roundup as in a collection of the most awesome ways Endurant users choose the earth friendly way to get green grass.
Endurant turf colorants continue to go the extra mile this winter, bringing lasting color to golf courses, baseball fields, home lawns, even Nascar race tracks, among other places.
Endurant turf colorants beautify turfgrass while saving water, fertilizer, harsh chemicals, and overseed. This means golf course superintendents, among other Endurant users, are saving money while minimizing damaging effects to water and the overall environment.
Endurant users love to share their experiences with colorants on social media, including Twitter and Facebook.
Here's a roundup of Endurant turf colorants at work this winter:
The name says it all: Endurant turf colorants provide lasting green color.
How do you get green grass that lasts all winter long? Freezing, snow, drought, dormancy and the grass is still green? Golf course superintendents and sod growers across the country reported their green grass endured a long winter by using Endurant turf color enhancers.
Ground is frozen, but the grass is green
That's right, it's well into winter, below freezing and the grass is still green on the golf course. Patrick Reinhardt, the Georgia Southern University Golf Course Superintendent and Georgia Golf Course Superintedents' Association board member, isn't the only one pleased to see green this winter. Players and visitors loved a green course from fall through spring.
"27 degrees and we're still green," said Reinhardt.

Endurant often lasts three months or more maintaining a natural green grass color on dormant grass. The lasting nature of Endurant depends upon several factors, particularly the rate of grass growth and the frequency of mowing.

Dormant turf does well with Endurant, or "Liquid overseed," as an alternative to the more costly and resource-demanding practice of overseeding dormant turfgrass. Overseed often requires over-watering, over-fertilizing, and more harsh chemical usage than choosing Endurant turf colorants.
Check out what other Endurant users have said about the lasting winter color:
In several cases, Endurant didn't just endure the winter, Endurant endured the worst.

"We've painted on frost, dew, and now, snow. Just a dusting and it's going down great!" exclaimed Jason Sanderson, a golf course superintendent at Cherokee Country Club, located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
While it's not recommended to paint in the rain, snow, or sleet, especially not your first time using a colorant, some golf course superintendents are hardcore. However, painting turf is very effective after a very light mist, morning dew, or light frost, regardless of experience level. Generally, the lightness of the moisture on the turf is crucial. A heavy downpour would not be effective. The turfgrass surface certainly does not have to be dry to apply Endurant paints. That mild moisture can actually contribute to optimal leaf blade coverage.

Celebrate by growing healthy strawberries using Carbotein
[caption id="attachment_844" align="alignleft" width="266"] Strawberries, and other crops, benefit from the use of Carbotein, a collection of organic vegetable extracts that increase plant health and yields. www.Carbotein.com[/caption]
What better way to celebrate strawberries than growing the best possible fruits?
If you're growing strawberries, you will want to know that Carbotein (www.Carbotein.com) is among the favorite foods for strawberries. Carbotein is a collection of organic vegetable extracts that lead to powerful positive effects on plant growth.
Of course it's a matter of taste, but many people think wild and organic strawberries are the sweetest. Carbotein is a preferred plant food among organic, veganic, and hydroponic growers for increasing growth yields of turf, crops, flowers, and fruits, including, of course, strawberries. Farmers and gardeners find that growing strawberries with Carbotein can yield even sweeter, faster, and larger crops, with boosts from nature. (Interested in organic gardening? Check out Cancer patients' organic garden of hope and healing powered by Geoponics.)
Carbotein is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
Plants treated with Carbotein include turf grass, ornamental shrubs, trees, and agricultural crops, such as flowers, spinach, mushrooms, carrots, radishes, beans, wheat, corn, tomatoes, cotton, rice, barley, fruit trees and others.
Carbotein is applied to soil and can be easily combined with other soil nutrient programs.
More about strawberries and National Strawberry Day:
Strawberries aren't actual berries because the seeds are on the outside of the fruit.
Each strawberry contains about 200 seeds.
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries aren't berries, but bananas are berries.
Each American eats an average of 3.5 pounds of strawberries each year.
Strawberries were used in medicine in many cultures, including Romans and Native Americans. The roots of wild strawberries, for example, are still boiled today among some Native Americans and others to treat digestive disorders and kidney stones.
You can include strawberry tops and leaves in your smoothies for boosted nutrition and digestive benefits.
National Strawberry Day is among more than 1,200 national days.
Tips for growers:
Only pick strawberries when ripe. They do not ripen off the plant like some other fruits.
Strawberries bruise easily, so don't overpack your basket.
It's best to pick strawberries on cool, cloudy days, especially if they're not eaten right away.
