"The whole concept of the Supreme Green Germination Blanket is superb. The blanket is made up of an open weave which allows air and water to move through it freely. At the same time it protects the surface beneath from frost, birds and debris damage. I have found that the Supreme Green Germination Blanket has enabled seed to germinate quickly in a matter of a few days and encourages turf to green up at the same time."
Eddie Seaward - Head Groundsman, Past General Secretary and Chairman of the Education Committee of the Institute of Groundsmanship
Bringing sports or recreational turf back into play as soon as possible makes the most of this valuable and natural asset - turf.
The problems of germinating grass seed are all very well known and range from the seed being washed out, bird damage, change in temperature and lack of moisture. The problems are all the more acute given the short period between playing seasons for football or rugby and the requirement to bring the strip back into play quickly for cricket. The good news is that these problems can be avoided by using the specially formulated Supreme Green Germination Blanket.
The Supreme Green Germination Blanket sits on the top of the surface of the seeded area, or over sown grass, and creates its own microclimate beneath. The open weave of the blanket allows water and air to penetrate downwards but prevents moisture from evaporating. The seed quickly germinates in these conditions and the existing grass (if overseeding) leaps forward as its roots are warmed up and stimulated into new growth. In this way germination is guaranteed even in uncertain weather and speeded up in normal conditions.
Seasons are also extended in the early Spring and late Autumn.
The Supreme Green Germination Blanket comes with its own pegs to hold it down in windy situations and can be folded up and used again and again.
