This expert guide will help you figure out effective wildflower meadow management for both spring and autumn sown seeds.
This Germinal Amenity guide can help you figure out how to prepare soil for wildflowers effectively.
Germinal Amenity expert Richard Brown can help you choose the best wildflower seed mix.
Germinal Amenity and top UK greenkeepers believe that proactive seeding through seasonal overseeding can produce golf greens that thrive without needing fungicides.
Proactive seeding can be used in a spring overseeding strategy to outcompete the disease-prone Poa annua without needing fungicides.
Discover how summer overseeding can be a game-changer by outcompeting Poa annua with creeping bentgrasses that are ideal for close mowing.
Cold-seeding is the practice of applying new seed to an established sward in the late autumn or early spring when soil temperatures are below those required for immediate germination.Â
Grass plants require ease of access to hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. This is facilitated by good soil structure with a high proportion of macro pores which allow adequate gas exchange and movement of soil and water which are essential for root respiration and photosynthesis.
The two main types of fertiliser used in the amenity sector are granular fertilisers and liquids.
Granular fertilisers can be spread by hand or by using pedestrian or tractor mounted spreaders. The important thing is to make sure the fertiliser is spread uniformly and at the correct rate.
Specification for the seeding operation: The variation in site conditions and the proposed end uses make it difficult to offer a specification which satisfies all requirements.
