LoucasX Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 We are putting down 10 tonne of root zone (soil/sand mix) and using a scarifier a on grassy areas and rotavator on compacted bare areas. Then getting contractors to Verti-drain, drill seed & fertilise. We started the work today and will have it finished by Thursday. Pitch won't be played on till 19th July (about 2 months). What are other clubs doing......any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoucasX Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 In response to Munchkin, verti draining costs about £400. Drilling in seed costs about £1,300. In response to Tringkit, I presumed the humps were put in to drain water away from goalmouth, so I just filled in the dip in the goal mouth......perhaps I"ll be braver next summer!
