How to Use Oil-Dri on Turf

Oil-Dri is a moisture regulating product added to turf and sports fields to stabilize the soil and turf, making it ready for play and more attractive. Oil-Dri has several types of products and those that are developed for turf are installed similarly into the soil. How much and where you apply the product coincides with the problem spots or wear pattern in the turf. Some specialty grass maintenance equipment is required to professionally apply the product but the steps are straightforward and simple.
