Respectfully, they're different. Turface is Montmorillonite clay, Profile is
Arcillite clay. The latter is also fired hotter, resulting in a material
that is almost a ceramic, with a lower CEC than Turface.

Last year I got Shultz Profile, which is turface, for
about $8 per bag. This year it was $16 per bag. With
300 trees, 50 pounds ain't too much.
