96 GRANULAR MULCH Turning soil to turf has never been easier. Whether repairing a bald spot on the fairway or reseeding a small section elsewhere on the golf course, Seed Aide CoverGrow from Profile Products helps achieve faster and better turf establishment anywhere damage occurs. Seed Aide CoverGrow is a granular mulch made from recycled wood and cellulose fibers. Once applied to a seeded area and activated by water, the granules quickly expand and disperse to hold in water and hold down seed in small and large areas. Its tackified technology resists rain impact and keeps the product as well as the seed it protects where they are needed most. Its rapid dispersion properties make it suitable for hydroseeding applications. Adam Dibble, senior marketing and erosion control brand manager for Profile Products, said CoverGrow is more readily available for use on courses since wider retail outlet distribution started last fall. "We now sell through distributors that specifically service golf courses," Dibble said. "It previously was through exclusive distribution." WHY IT MATTERS It works faster than other pellet products, Dibble said, due to Get Growing Before and after shots show how Seed Aide CoverGrow establishes turf. By Allen Thayer
