SPORTS TURF CONTRACTORS
The renovation of the pitch didn’t start until the end of May and such a short close season increased the pressure to produce a quality sward
of major reseeding programmes at ‘household- name’ venues throughout the UK.”
Simon explained that Scotts 8:12:8 pre-seeder fertiliser was then applied at 50gm per square metre.
“We also left Dave 80 bags of Sheppy 14:6:8 growing in fertiliser for him to apply weekly following the
germination of the grass seed as part of his after maintenance programme.”.
It was important to get quick, strong germination and establishment from his overseeding. The seed germinated within five days of sowing and there is no doubt that this is partly down to the use of the Headstart seed treatment which is applied to the MM branded grass seed. Simon stresses that the Headstart provides a valuable ‘guarantee’ in any seeding programme.
“The beauty of Headstart is that it is a safe, user-friendly product which actually ‘does what it says on the tin!’ In an ideal situation you can get,
on average, an extra 20% of grass plants. When the conditions are less than favourable that percentage can be as high as 70% more germinated plants. For companies like ours this is very important because at the end of the day we will be judged by how well the grass has germinated and established.”
With the Headstart treated grass romping away it is not surprising that Dave soon had to cut the pitch daily to keep on top of the new growth. The pitch was looking superb for the pre season friendly matches which started in mid August.
