In this week’s EarthWorks Podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Grant McKnight, President & CEO of DuraEdge, and Eric Blanton, Western Region Manager for both DuraEdge and 4Most Sport Group. We explored the story behind DuraEdge—how Grant’s early work in mining and aggregates eventually led to the creation of specialized root zone materials for golf courses, and how that expertise evolved into serving the sports turf industry at the highest level. One of the highlights of our conversation was their new product, Fusion, a root zone material that could transform not just sports fields, but the turfgrass industry as a whole. Beyond product development, we talked about the science-driven approach that DuraEdge takes to solving real problems in the field—helping turf managers, superintendents, and facility operators achieve consistent, high-performance results. Whether you’re a sports turf professional, a golf course superintendent, or just passionate about the science of soil and turf, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
