water to enter the soil profile, and will also help to reduce the activity of casting worms. The same applies to the bowls green and the cricket square. The machine designed for this purpose has a series of tungsten tipped blades strong enough to enter the surface, and remove the thatch. This does not cause any lasting damage to the surface as a topdressing of suitable soil is applied, and overseeding takes place. The surface has the whole winter to regenerate and recover, with no lasting damage. Now, back to the spring on a
cricket square. If any marking of the surface takes place at this time of year the damage will be detrimental to the playing quality of the surface, and could take a long time to recover. The question is what type of ‘scarifying’ should take place. In the spring I would not recommend using a bladed scarifier or verticutter that is used on a bowls green, unless you are a very experienced person and have a very level surface. The soil on a cricket square has high clay content and, if it is slightly marked with the cutting blades, will cause fault lines in the soil. When the soil dries it will crack along those lines, causing an unpredictable surface. This can be seen on some cricket
squares as the ‘cubing effect’. I have encountered this problem on more than one occasion when inspecting cricket squares in the spring. I suggest that a lawn rake be used to remove the dead organic matter, at this time, to avoid damaging the soil surface. This should also be used in the preparation of pitches throughout the season, together with the brush attachment or a power brush.
