The Team at Weed Free & The Lawn Company help domestic and professional turf managers, in the UK and Abroad and when a call comes in from an English trained Green Keeper in France, we are quickly able to assist them with their request.
Golf De Barthe is an exceptional 9 hole golf complex, idyllically located in the village of Tombeboeuf in the beautiful Department of the Lot-et-Garonne, South West France. It is well known for the quality of course upkeep and a high level of personal customer service.
When their Head Green Keeper called The Lawn Company, he was trying to resolve his worm casts on his greens and the professional pesticide product based on Carbendazim was not available to him.
A quick search on the internet led him to CastClear, the new organic non-pesticide solution to worm casts for lawns and also sports turf. An order for five litres was quickly despatched via Fed Ex and is now on it's way to Golfe De Bathe. Problem solved!
CastClear is unique in using a surfactant system that moves the nutrient into the upper soil structure and fixes it there providing good persistence of deterrent effect until breaking down to natural nutrients absorbed by plant roots.
As the soil air to water ratio changes in the more traditional autumn months, you will notice an increase in worm cast activity. The wetter the autumn or winter, the greater the worm activity will be. The root zone of the lawn will become spongy as the worms undermine the upper surface and mowing will become difficult, especially with a cylinder mower. The use of the lawn will diminish as a result of the difficult surface conditions.
It is not the activity of the worms naturally aerating the soil beneath the grass surface, but the detrimental effect of their casts that cause the problems. The soil making up the casts is very slimy as it consists of soil and the natural secretions from the worm’s digestive system. Left on the surface of the lawn, the casts will be smeared across the grass through the actions of mowing and walking on the lawn.
If you do or do not have a little golf course in your garden, please visit the CastClear Stockist Page to find your nearest Stockist. It is readily available in three units of sale to treat 500 sqm, 250 sqm and 125 sqm of lawn or golf green.
