Brief Guide: To provide a short, dense and consistent playing surface ..

Mixture: STB-020
  35% certified Fine Leaf Fescue festuca rubra litoralis
  35% certified Chewings Fescue festuca commutata
  20% certified Bentgrass agrostis capillaris
  10% certified Creeping Bentgrass agrostis stolonifera

The slender and chewings fescues in this mixture are mainly to provide a temporary green cover whilst the very fine leaf bentgrass becomes established. In time the bentgrass will become dominant in the turf and slowly knit together to produce a very fine, dense and presentable bowling or croquet lawn. Persistent close mowing will encourage the very fine leaf bentgrass which results in minimum resistance and disturbance to a ball as it travels across the playing surface. To maintain the highest quality green the area must be mown at least every other day and kept at a constant height of between 5mm - 10mm. Cut in various directions to maintain maximum shoot density and consistency of the playing surface.
