Pitch Problems

[Deeranged]

Does your garden have undersoil heating that bakes the soil hard? Do you drive up and down your garden every week with a tractor? Or cut it with a 200kg mower? No, didn't think so. Don't know anything about Dundee FC or their finances but I do know about sport turf.

FWIW, 10-20mm comes off a football pitch in the summer. It's then sanded and re-seeded. No turf laying, no removing 6 inches and nothing to do with drainage.

Just trying to give you guys an understanding of what actually happens, instead of the guesswork you're all doing. ��

Point one - I'm not sure how many times the undersoil heating's actually been used at Dens over the last year.

Point two - baking the soil hard, baking the fkn soil hard? Have a listen to yourself please. It's soil, not fkn BeRo.

Point three - the 'tractor' is a small lightweight one with large tyres to spread the load. Designed in fact to avoid....... well, you tell me. A grass cutter's nowhere near heavy enough to cause significant compaction.

Point four - are you saying that grass seed is sown in sand? Wow, such a fertile substrate.

We're guessing, that much is correct, but our guesses are a good bit more believable than, for example, your idea that grass grows in sand.
