Sean lloyd - Rgs Agronomy

A day of Vertidraining winter pitches ( summer outfields ) another excellent hire from R D Sports Worcestershire .

1st weeks match surfaces and practice surface underway. The way things are going the fantastic electric roller may just pay for its self by the end of the summer 🤦‍♂️

Winter pitches ( cricket outfields ) and school lawns seeded with the fantastic Barenburg seed. Great to work with new local amenity machinery hire supplier R D Sports seeder hire

With psr nearly complete the cricket squares and school lawns get some recovery nutrition

Last football of the term tomorrow with the Alumni tournament all set out and prepped. Been a season of two halves first 6 weeks lost of rain and cancellations second 6 weeks making up for lost time with 137 fixtures in 6 weeks

First net surfaces started and under prep for the new season

Busy week of progress, all 8 junior cricket squares all had 4 passes with the heavy roller. All fields Verti quaked 125mm and mown down to 20mm

Fridays primary schools football tournament

@fredfertang @JamieMagill5 @Harv366 That’s our old friend Dave Humphries of wccc top man rip

Simmo again, wearing methinks a few more sweaters than in this morning's image - it can't have been straightforward when, as here, he was batting with @harv366, who was greased lightning between the wickets - btw who's the 'keeper - very familiar but I can't put a name to him

Yesterday was perfect for the second pass with the all electric Eroll. ( full speed forward and back ) After across line of play Friday. I’ve certainly rolled in worse conditions at this time of year

Great effort by the team 180m of turfing lawn edges at Rgs Worcester. Let’s hope foot fall is kept to the paths 🤞

Many thanks to Callum and the team for the warm welcome and purchase. Uppingham School joining the ever growing numbers of turf mangers converting to the fantastic Eroll electric sports roller. Converted to the customers personal requirements full electric drive,in school colours

Our newly converted electric roller out in full force in today in the sun on our first team cricket square☀️⚡️🌱

Steady progress! squares firming .A overseed for any weak areas, double angled Allett roll for the junior squares, double Allett roll line of play and across,additional weight added. Holding off on the Electric E roll at the moment as inclement weather forecasted later this week.

@Jspencer588 Should be fine if integrated well ! Good luck

@seansvl Yeah i do every other day. And you go by the same as me. Had good reports last year but this year more loam been down.

First passes on the angle with the Allett roller only. Also soil temps on the rise

@Jspencer588 I used to aim at around 40-50hrs some years ago, but these days it tends to be less and more governed by how much consolidation we’ve achieved. I tend to roll every other day changing roll of direction each time. I also roll faster initially reducing speed as the profile firms

@seansvl How many hours do you look at on the big roller. It’s big question how much to do on a roller.

Busy week linear aerating the winter pitches at Rgs Grange with the fantastic Verti Quake.

@Bristowww 😂

@seansvl Haha yeah I was very shocked at how quiet it is! Glad it’s got the horn on it so people know we’re coming 😂

@Bristowww Hi Callum hope alls well ? Rugby pitch was looking excellent shape . Mate I’m after a favour on behalf of Rich ! Could you send me over some pics of the roller at your place and yourself the team by it ?Just to help promote Rich he doesn’t bother or forgets that side

@Bristowww Thanks mate the team love ours ! Perfect for next week :rolling with the racing on the iPad 😃in silence

@seansvl Hi Sean, of course! Hopefully the weather holds and will have it out in action next week so will get some photos and send over
