Lower ground match day track We employ a contractor, ALS
Contract Services, to undertake our end of season renovations on the two cricket squares, which involves scarification, aeration, topdressing, seeding and feeding. The operations included the use of a Sisis Rotorake TM1000 in preparation for seeding, loaming etc. We find this machine to be extra beneficial in seedbed preparation as, not only does it remove huge amounts of organic matter, the deep grooves that the blades create (circa 20mm) provide a perfect environment for seed germination and establishment. The grass seed used at
Bromsgrove is the ‘Wicket Renovation’ mix from the Limagrain Designer range - which thrives on both First and Second X1 squares and offers what I consider to be a balance between cost and performance. Like many clubs, material
costs are a big factor in our decision making process. I spend every pound of the club’s money as carefully, if not more
carefully, than I spend my own! With the Limagrain mix, we feel we are now squarely hitting both targets of quality and cost - which means I get a great product, whilst still being able to face our club treasurer when I walk into the clubhouse! One key aspect of the
renovation process I have been keen to implement, since I took on the role of groundsman, is the inclusion of deep sub- surface aeration using a tractor mounted verti-drain. From a loam point of view, we
have been long-time users of Kaloam, which the contractor both supplies and applies as part of the works. Even though we have a good
technical knowledge base within the grounds team, and can operate on a day to day basis quite happily through the playing season, I would never again fiddle around trying to carry out heavy end of season work with a small scarifier, a wheelbarrow and three senior citizen labourers! Having the right machine at the right time is
