Exhibiting
at SALTEX for the first time this year, Consolidate Turf is giving every turf
professional the opportunity to come to stand E195/E196 and discover an
exclusive range of balanced, energy efficient, liquid nutritional products for
the perfect turf maintenance programme.
The
Chorley based company manufactures bespoke nutritional programmes including
core products Consolidate Plus+ and Consolidate Winter Turf Hardener, that
provide the maximum benefit for individual customer needs.
Working
closely with groundsmen and greenkeepers across the amenity sector has led to
Consolidate Turf products being incorporated in the turf maintenance programmes
at the majority of the UK’s and Europe’s most renowned venues including many
Premier League facilities as well as Universities and Non-League and National
League football teams.
Renowned
Head Groundsman Steve Braddock said: “Following the successful trial last
winter on one of our pitches I have decided to extend the use of Consolidate
Plus and Consolidate Winter Turf Hardener onto our other pitches this winter.”
As well
as these core products, the varied catalogue of the Anti-Stress Turf Range,
Consolidate Range and the Renovation Seed Pack have enabled users to adjust
rates to suit their specific requirements. This has been customary practice in
the case of Links manager, Chris Ball, who has used the products to adapt to
ever-changing conditions on golf courses.
"I
have been involved in the turf industry for over 25 years,” Chris explained.
“During this time, I have experienced various management techniques and
practices at both Parkland and Links venues.
“I have
regularly used the full range of Consolidate Turf products due to their diverse
flexibility that subtly adapts and compliments our ever challenging and
changing environment."
By
creating tailored programmes for customers any issues their turf is facing can
be directly met. At Glamorgan Cricket Club, Head Groundsman, Robin Saxton,
wanted to improve plant health and colour and did so through the use of a
unique Consolidate programme.
“From
the first meeting we have made tremendous progress and as things advanced
through meetings we have designed and developed a completely bespoke and unique
package for our exact needs,” he said.
“We have
had great results with the renovation package. We have managed to integrate the
programme on our cricket square and the results have been fantastic.
“Using
Consolidate Plus+ on a fortnightly basis has helped us keep a more even colour
and growth rate across the square without the peaks and troughs a monthly
programme can give you. The addition of extra copper in the mix has kept us
disease free even when we have had to cover the square for an extended period
of time.”
Producing
a range of nutritional products that are the catalyst for turf improvements for
groundsmen on every budget is an important factor for Consolidate Turf. They
strive to improve pitches for customers such as Chorley Football Club in the
National League North with a natural pitch, as much as they do for Fulham
Football Club in the Premier League playing on an SIS Grass hybrid pitch. “We
are successfully using the full range of Consolidate Turf products on all SIS
pitches at both The Cottage and training grounds. Right from the renovation
through the season, the bespoke product range is aiding us to achieve optimum
pitch performance across the board," said Grounds Manager David Tatnell.
This has
been achieved by listening to customers and refining individual choices that
have become integral components in maintenance programmes across the entire
spectrum of amateur and professional sport.
