The need for FEED

July 6, 2022/in News, Press Release/by External Source

The need for FEED: The Lawn Association team are feeling a little Maverick today when it comes to discussing feeding lawns. Some say that grass only needs food once per season, but if our Top Gun grass nutrition training has taught us anything, it is to have a 12 month feeding programme ready. Grass is a plant and grows all year, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that is likes a good feed too!

But why feed?
When we mow, we are removing the leaves of the grass which store food, hence we need to provide additional nutrition. The ratio of the three key elements in grass (Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Potassium) change at different times of the year. This is why feeding is important at various times in different seasons.

The need for FEED

Which lawn food should you choose?

Feeding your lawn is part of the bigger picture of sustainable and sensible lawn care. However many fertilisers require washing in order to activate, so waiting for the rain is due before applying makes sense. However, using organic feeds such as ‘True Grass’ which is produced from recycled food waste, ensures that your lawn is fed in the most sustainable way possible, without the risk of scorching!

How often should you feed?

If you are using a product such as ‘True Grass’ you can feed your lawn as and when you think it needs it at practically any time of the year (Feb to Nov). The benefit of True Grass is that it’s as much a soil conditioner as a feed so by using a product like this you are feeding the plants and the soils at the same time. Plus it is naturally rich (selected food waste products used) in amino, fulvic and humic acids. Most fertilisers used are either chalk carriers or worse still, polymer coated only feed the grass (and compost bin) and have no benefit to the soils.

As with all aspects of good, sustainable modern lawn care, working with, not against nature, is your best option. By doing this you will achieve the lawn that is top notch and perfect for you!

Metrac H75 is number 15

July 5, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Neil Hancock

Metrac H75 is number 15: The Stuart Taylor International dealership has recently supplied an additional compact, hydrostatic drive, Reform Metrac H75 pro to Cheshire based contractor Ray Britland.

For Stuart Taylor International, Tom Taylor said, “the Reform H75 Pro model was voted tractor of the year at EIMA 2021 and is proving to be a real hit with customers for a wide range of tasks” Ray Britland added, “we currently have fifteen Reform Metracs on our fleet. A large percentage of our work is on sloping terrain and the muti functional H75 pro delivers both perormance and operator safety”

Metrac H75 is number 15

Simon Richard, UK Agent for the Reform range says, “the H75 model meets all end user requirements, including versatillity and environmental friendliness. Hydrostatic drive with electronic control offers two speed ranges, two terrain gear reductions and foot and hand drive modes. When four-wheel steering is active, the front and rear wheels run exactly in the same line, ensuring tension-free traction on more difficult terrain. Front, rear, four wheel and crab steering as well as offset four-wheel steering can easily be switched at the push of a button. The system is completed by the electro-hydraulic spring brake with an auto hold function which allows smooth and judder-free setting off on slopes.

The new H75 also offers powerful working front and rear hydraulics with 1500kg lifting force and standard weight compensation and the high efficiency of the electro-hydraulic power shift PTO provides power precisely when needed. Operator comfort is catered for with a newly designed cab which has been completely decoupled from other vehicle components. This results in a major reduction in noise level and significantly lowered vibrations. The ergonomic armrest with it’s central controls forms the basis for easy operation of the new Metrac H75. It is attached to the driver’s seat, allowing fatigue-free working on any terrain, without interference from vibrations or slopes. The multi-function joystick combines all functions for driving and controlling attachments.” For more information visit www.slopemower.co.uk
