Question:

How do you make turf paint?

I am looking for a way to make turf paint for my backyard. I am making a whiffle ball field with the left and right field lines being about 150 feet from home-plate and center field around 175 feet. I dont want to buy expensive turf paint but am looking for a way to make some. Thought about white spray paint, but will that kill the grass? More of a powdered paint would probably be better. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Answer:

Mikey, You could use dolomite lime. It's good for your lawn anyway. After the game, rake it out into the surrounding grass. Not to worry, it's not like fertilizer, it won't leave a deep green grass mark later. Dolomite lime is about 3 dollars for a 10 lb bag. You should be able to mark out your lines pretty good with a few bags. Bertram
