Have you got Compaction Problems ....
.... we provide a compaction management service using the latest
and largest rotary decompactor. The Decompactor provides control
of compaction and improves capability down to depths of 550 mm,
few other machines come close.
The Decompactor improves soil structure by establishing a system
of deep cracks and fissures and so ids the downward movement of
air, water and roots through to a greater depth of the soil profile,
thus improving drainage in wet years and increasing resistanceto
drought in dry years.
Why Improve Soil Structure ....
Poor
soil structure is probably one of the biggest causes of failure
in sports surfaces. Yet it often goes unrecognised.
A
soil's structure is the way the natural blocks or aggregates
are arranged around one another.
Roots
need visible cracks that contain air and a film of water, to
properly exploit the soil and provide a firm foothold for growth.
It
doesn't matter whether you are working with the natural soil
or a purpose-laid surface, without a well aerated, loosely structured
soil, roots won't grow.
Any
activity that uses the turf results in compaction and this restricts
or damages existing roots. The modern demands of continuous
play and heavy pedestrian and mechanical traffic in wet conditions
exacerbate this to a point where air and water cannot provide
the essential components for the plant roots to survive.
The Benefits of Using 'Shockwave'
Not
only will the Decompactor provide the soil enhancing benefits
of re-structuring the profile, but unlike many tined systems,
the machine does not create unsightly holes or a surface disruptive
to play.
Improving soil structure with sound management and the use of
Sport Organics technology will improve the health of your soil
and turf by:
• Increasing
large pore space, air porosity and infiltration,
• Reducing
surface ponding and capping,
• Improving
root growth and increasing drought resistance thereby reducing
irrigation needs,
• Improving
turf disease resistance, by optimising air soil ratios turf develops
healthy roots and increases its resistance to disease,
• Improving
biodiversity of the soil,
• Reducing
black layer,
• Improving
rooting depth and density.
