Description
A18 excels over and above other D.O.T. road verge mixtures due to the inclusion of several exclusive and unique varieties. Pillar Perennial Ryegrass is selected specifically for its high salt tolerance making it perfect for use on the side of heavily gritted trunk roads. Zurich Creeping Perennial ryegrass adds extra binding capacity on undulating areas to prevent soils erosion. All this and the inclusion of AberAce White Clover, which has the ability to fix 150kg/N per ha per annum, makes the mixture self-sustaining.
A18 is a proven specification for applications such as highway verges, embankments and roundabouts. The mixture establishes quickly on a range of soils types and provides rapid ground cover to prevent gully erosion and loss of soil onto road surfaces. The high preventage of creeping grasses means the sward will stabilises gradients in the long term, however it is recommended that gradients of more than 3 in 5 utilise some form of geotextile to stabilise the bank whilst the sward establishes.
