Mirimichi Green for Sports Fields

Sports Fields That Recover Between Games

The Problems Start Below the Surface

Most of what holds sports fields turf back is a soil problem: structure, water, and biology. Build the soil and the rest follows.

  • Compaction from heavy play
  • Slow recovery between events
  • Sand-based root zones that don’t hold nutrients
  • High irrigation demand
  • Slow sod establishment
  • Tight turnaround between games

Installation

  • Sod installations
  • Field renovations
  • Root zone mixes

Maintenance

Trusted on Game Day

At the University of North Carolina’s Kenan Stadium, the athletic grounds team used CarbonizPN under new sod on the sand-based field, saw it hold nutrients better than years past, and has since used it under sod on three more fields.

Case study · University of North Carolina

Kenan Memorial Stadium, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Before re-sodding Kenan Memorial Stadium ahead of preseason training and a six-game home schedule, UNC’s grounds team incorporated CarbonizPN under the new sod at 50 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft. The sand-based field rooted quickly and deeply and held up through a heavy playing season, and UNC went on to use CarbonizPN under sod on three more fields. The project, supported by distributor Ewing Irrigation’s sports field team, led to work at Duke University’s Wallace Wade Stadium and the Dallas Cowboys’ practice facility.

“Being a sand-based field, we felt it held nutrients much better, and the overall quality of the field has been better than years past. Since then, we have used the soil enhancer under sod on 3 other fields and will continue to do so on future sod installs.” — Casey Carrick, Director of Athletic Grounds and Turf Management, UNC

“We first used the CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer and Nutri-Release last year on Kenan Stadium when we re-sodded the entire field. Being a sand-based field, we felt it held nutrients much better, and the overall quality of the field has been better than years past. Since then, we have used the soil enhancer under sod on 3 other fields and will continue to do so on future sod installs. We currently spray Nutri-Release at least once a month during our growing season when we are applying foliar fertilizers. So far we’ve had great results with Mirimichi Green products and plan to continue using them as a regular part of our installs and fertility program.”

FAQ

Questions From Sports Fields Pros

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Call (910) 602-1681 or browse all FAQs.

Can CarbonizPN go under new sod?

Yes. Spread ½–1 bag of CarbonizPN per pallet of sod before laying it. Sports field managers use it on sod installs to improve establishment and nutrient holding.

Does it work on sand-based fields?

Yes. Biochar and compost add the organic matter and CEC that sand-based root zones lack, so they hold water and nutrients longer.

Will topdressing disrupt play?

No. Our products integrate into existing maintenance schedules and can be applied with minimal interruption to play.

Can I use it with my current program?

Yes. Mirimichi Green products are powerful enough to stand alone, and they are safe to use alongside fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.

Where can I buy it?

From 1,400+ distributor branches nationwide (best for most pros), online in small quantities, or by the supersack pallet with freight quoted to your site.
