This blog takes inspiration from a previous blog, “How Often to Water New Grass Seeds” but in a different context. With the UK experiencing a year of above-average rainfall (June 2023 to June 2024), it's important to understand how this extra water can impact your soil and new seedlings, and how best to care for them.
Understanding your soil type is crucial for proper watering, whether during dry spells or periods of heavy rain. This blog equips you with the knowledge to determine how much water your new lawn needs to thrive, using both simple and more technical methods.
At Grass Science Seeds we are all about science; understanding the variables and factors which affect grass seed germination and growth is what we do! Most people understand the basic formula of water + sun = growth but there is another important variable to consider: soil temperature.
The physical appearance of a lawn is essential for most gardeners, greenkeepers and groundstaff. The density, firmness and uniformity play critical roles in determining the longevity and performance of the green.
With years of research and experience, the team at Grass Science Seeds have broken down their top 5 ways of maximising turf performance for a more consistent and reliable lawn.
At Grass Science Seeds (GSS) we believe in science. We feel very strongly about the value of your confidence and your financial investment, therefore for us sampling must be done correctly to avoid getting spurious results which will mislead and misinform, in turn could mean lots of wasted time and money and no results to show for it.
Our team are so excited to be attending BTME 2023, hosted by BIGGA. This event is the Golden Globes of the turf world and is taking place right on our doorstep in Harrogate from the 22nd – 26th of January!
Soil fertility is one of the most important factors in optimising crop yield and sustaining plant growth.
However, soil fertility can be altered and enhanced with both organic and synthetic fertilisers. While inorganic fertilisers appear to be a quick fix, organically correcting the fertility of your soil can help to create healthier, stronger plants.
