[caption id="attachment_1047" align="alignleft" width="250"] Earth Day 2017: Using Geoponics products, including surfactants & Endurant turf colorants, is measurably decreasing the environmental footprint in golf.[/caption] Endurant turf colorants replaced the old common environmentally costly practice of overseed.
