Pre-emergents The Importance Of Soil Amendments Trying to grow turf on our Texas soil conditions is tough. Compaction and poor water penetration makes deep root growth almost impossible. Heavily compacted soils may be one of our number one causes to injury for our athletes.
Injuries occur to a players head or shoulder from falling onto a hard ground.
Knees and ankles can also blow out when cleats don't penetrate correctly into the ground. This could possibly become a liability issue. Adding to the problem is our poor water quality. Texas water not only contains an extremely high pH, but it also has very high levels of sodium and chlorine. This can make growing quality turf even tougher.
