Profile™ vs. Peat compares traditional peat-based root zone mixes with Profile Products’ Porous Ceramic (PPC) for golf course greens. It explains how peat can fill aeration pores, reduce drainage, and contribute to low oxygen, black layer and poor playability over time, often leading to costly reconstruction. Inorganic PPC changes little, with only 3% degradation over 20 years, helping maintain ideal balances of air, water and solids. Comparison tables and drought-stress data on page 2 show sand/Profile mixes sustaining better drainage, porosity and delayed irrigation needs than sand/peat mixes, supporting healthier, longer-lasting greens and lower long-term maintenance costs.
