Groundsman impresses judges with Union Jack front lawn

September 12, 2017/in Industry News, Press Release/by External Source

Aston Villa groundsman impresses judges with Jo Cox-inspired Union Jack front lawn in Great Barr:

This, believe it or not, is someone’s front lawn which leaves passers-by in Great Barr bemused – so much so that they “often stop to stroke it”.

The master behind the creation is Keith Smith, green keeper at Edgbaston Golf Club and part-time groundsman at Aston Villa.

Green-fingered Keith, of Swinbrook Grove, entered his Union Jack front lawn into the 2017 International Creative Lawn Stripes Competition.

He made the final six but Keith’s desperate to go one step further and win a prize place.

Keith said: “Last year’s flash floods nearly scuppered my creative lawn competition entry as the garden sank deep beneath a lake of rainwater.

“The diamond design I created in 2016 made the final four of the competition but this year the competition was opened internationally so I had to come up with something more striking.

“This year’s challenge included a 12-week recuperation from a back operation – Mrs Smith temporarily brandishing a lawn mower was scarier than the floods.

“The Union flag idea came from ‘The Great Get Together’ in memory of Jo Cox and how this united us during some of the most dividing times such as Brexit and recent terrorist attacks.

Sherriff Amenity Launch StimZyne

September 11, 2017/in Press Release/by Lucy Nicholls

Sherriff Amenity Launch StimZyne: Sherriff Amenity has announced the launch of StimZyne – a new range of hydrocarbon encapsulators and plant growth promoters.

StimZyne joins Sherriff Amenity’s leading range of bio-stimulants which are renowned for generating a positive effect on plant health in support of normal maintenance and fertiliser programmes.

Designed to be applied on all amenity turf and approved for use on all soil types, StimZyne brings with it a number of unique benefits to the plant.

The unique hydrocarbon encapsulator helps to neutralise harmful gases in the soil and release beneficial nutrients making them more available to the plant.
The natural properties of StimZyne, supports the microbial population of the soil, imparting efficient nutrient uptake and strengthening grass against pests and disease.

On poorer soils or in areas which are prone to pest attack, StimZyne Plus is recommended as it contains a significantly higher percentage of hydrocarbon enscapulator. This will increase the plant’s ability to survive attacks from root feeding pests.

StimZyne has been designed to be used throughout the year and can be combined with other Sherriff Amenity products for maximum results.

For example, the addition of Nemaflo at 1L/ha will assist in the delivery of the product to targeted areas of the soil for maximum effect.

To further improve the resilience and colour of the turf, GoGreen Select – a complexed iron sulphate, can be added to the mix at a rate of 20L/ha.
