| Faith Lutheran School, Queensland | | | "Students will be kicking goals on new playing field surface". | | | | | Outcome | | | "Very happy with results on newly laid turf" | | | |
| Background | | | School contracted Golden Finch Turf at Coominya to supply and lay approx. 1 Ha of turf on their playing surfaces. | | | This project was viewed as major expenditure and a critical component of the 2010 school development. | | | OBJECTIVES
• To reduce any die back of new turf and promote healthy grass
• For new turf to take root very quickly
• To have oval ready for return to School in Early February 2010
• To result in softer ground and lush grass for sports to take place with minimal injuries. | | | | What we recommended | | | # Soil Reviva - apply 1 tonne to oval via a trailer and tractor
| | | # Profert and Xtend - spray straight after turf laid then every 7-10 days for 3 applications at the rate of 10 litres and 1 litre of Xtend in 1000 litres of water. Profert and Xtend applied to turf as a drench as the weather was extremely hot (30 degree plus days).
| | | # Water was supplied from the school dam and was applied via their new sprinkler system | | | | Results achieved | | | The oval was laid in 2 sections some 3 weeks apart - after close inspection the 1st section has rooted very well. | | | Grass is growing strongly with consistent colour and no browning off. | | |
