Collection: Shredded / Stolons / Seed
Stolons/runners being propagated from selected strains are true- to-type and are weed free.
Planting plugs or stolons/runners is best done in the warmer months of spring, summer and early autumn. Turf establishment using stolons normally takes approximately 12 months for full coverage.
STOLONS/RUNNERS FROM SHREDDED TURF
- Keep the bag(s) of stolons/runners in the shade and keep them moist.
- Spread the shredded stolons/runners evenly over a well-watered soil surface at a rate of 50m² per bag.
- Work in manageable areas of not more than 50m² at a time. In hot and dry weather conditions work on a smaller area to prevent the exposed runners from drying out.
- Spread as evenly as possible to ensure even coverage.
NB:
- Spreading cannot be done in windy conditions.
- Buffalo runners should be planted in rows approximately 150mm apart. For Buffalo, skip steps 5, 6 and 7.
ROLLER DISC OR ROTARY HOE
- For large areas, roll the runners into the soil surface with a disc bladed roller. Make sure that all runners are buried.
- Roll the disc in several different directions ensuring that most of the runners are pressed firmly into and beneath the soil surface.
- Alternatively, for smaller areas cultivate the runners into the soil with a rotary hoe implement to a depth of 20-30mm.
- Roll the area with a pedestrian cylinder roller, making sure all runners are buried. A criss-cross action may be necessary for complete coverage. This ensures close contact between runners and soil, which is needed for prompt growth. This also enables you to flatten out any irregularities and form an even surface.
WATERING
Thoroughly water each section immediately after planting. Runners will quickly die if left in dry hot soil. Establishing stolons / runners successfully requires double the water frequency for the first 10 days.
