🎃 Don’t let buried turf problems come back to haunt you!
With relatively mild conditions continuing across parts of the UK and Ireland, there may still be an opportunity for some turf recovery before winter sets in.
Our top tip to turf managers this Halloween: focus on recovery, not growth. 🌱
Where soil temperatures remain favourable, root activity, soil biology and some turf recovery can continue. The priority now is to support plant resilience and rootzone health, rather than encourage excessive soft top growth.
🪦 Compaction, poor drainage, restricted oxygen and weakened rooting can all be lurking beneath the surface, even when turf looks healthy above ground.
Make the most of the remaining autumn recovery window — and don’t let today’s hidden problems haunt your turf next spring. Visit www.soilbiology.uk.
