RedField Infield Topdressing & Conditioner Details
RedField Infield Topdressing and Conditioner is a "red" scoria lava maroon in color. Scoria is a vesicular (bubbly) lava rock which is porous by nature due to the escape of volcanic gases during eruption and trapped during the cooling process. The reddish color is naturally derived due to oxidation.
