Natural grass fields can provide a protective, high-performance surface for athletic activities. Organic field maintenance practices can improve the health of soil and grass without the need for synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These practices include frequent aeration, frequent mowing, soil testing, and use of organic fertilizers and soil amendments.
