It’s important to use a sorrel rolleron your pitches semi-regularly to allowaerationof the pitch.
The Sorrel Roller causes minimum disturbance to the soil for aeration purposes, with round hole penetration rather than a slot. This is ideally carried out beforefertilisingas this allows a better route to the soil. Themulti-tooth drumwill penetrate the surface of the pitch so that surface compaction is relieved – an important process, as this allows air and nutrients to pass easily through to get to the root layer.
Sorrel rolling is ideal forfine turfandsports pitches,such as cricket pitches, bowling pitches and tennis courts and is beneficial as opposed to merely piercing the soil, as the small incorporated roller irons out any bumps and keeps the pitch in optimal condition.
The sorrel roller pushes hundreds of small holes into the surface of the turf quickly. Roots need air. It’s important to use the Sorrel roller on your playing surfaces regularly, especially on the high-traffic and wear areas to allow aeration of the soil caused by compaction. This is ideally carried out before fertilising as this allows a quicker route to the soil.
