Tru Mark's Trail Blazing Blog

Pictures are worth a thousand words. So is the case in showing the impact that turf colorant applications have on turf grass and conifer trees. Several test strips were made on Kentucky Blue grass in November as it was going dormant as well as blue spruce needles and branches. The Tru Mark SwitchBack Kameelyan Blue Turf Colorant was tested using different dilution ratios, from 1:10, 1:20, and 1:30, 1 part colorant to different parts water. Although not tested, a dilution ratio of 1:40 should provide adequate results when costs are a significant factor and where touch up operations are necessary.

Tru Mark also supplies the SwithBack Kameelyan Bermuda Turf Colorant for those below the cool grass regions.
