How to Fix Ground That Is Wet

Rapid Dry, Turface and Diamond Dust are all quick-drying agents designed to absorb moisture and eliminate muddy areas from baseball and softball fields. There are many inexpensive alternatives that are sometimes used in place of the professional products -- kitty litter, sawdust and even mulch -- that can damage the field and actually make conditions more dangerous. The professional products that are available not only reduce moisture but also compaction and incorporate easily into the infield.
