The greens were cut out of the rye grass sward
of 290 and 350 yards running alongside the river Perry.” “The greens were basically all cut out of
the predominant ryegrass sward, which was not ideal for a fine turf sport. However, each September, the greens are renovated in line with traditional methods, which sees some light scarifying, solid tine aeration, overseeding with a creeping red fescue mix and topdressed with 100% sport sand.” “The seed mix we use on the greens is specifically selected because the height of
cut is no lower than 7mm. I find that this suits us very well as cutting lower encourages more problems, especially as we have no irrigation.”
“I usually apply a 7:3:20 organic fertiliser
in early spring, at 100gms per square metre, which helps to increase the soil bacteria and control moss. In summer, a light dressing of 8:0:0 nitrogen fertiliser is applied, devoid of phosphates in order to discourage poa annua.” Phil explained that the pupils have several
competitions throughout the spring and summer terms, culminating with the pupil/parent event during the final week of summer term. Most of the sports pitches are laid down on the school’s natural grassland pastures, which they inherited when they took over the farm. The soils are a predominantly sandy loam medium, which is fairly free draining and that helps to keep the pitches in good condition, especially during the winter months.
