Profile® Greens Grade™ is an inorganic, kiln-fired porous ceramic soil amendment that replaces peat in sand-based root zones. Proven on thousands of greens across the country, it helps resist compaction, eliminate localized dry spot, promote drainage and support healthy root systems that leave turf less prone to disease and other maintenance problems. Made from a calcined, non-swelling illite and non-crystalline opal CT mineral, it offers total porosity of 74% and a CEC of 33.6 mEq/100g, with long-term stability and multiple packaging options.
