It looks great. What is actually being done to it?

Wasn't me - we had someone cut the pitch today, and then put some fertiliser on after as well. Our mower/roller needs sharpening before we can use it.Pigman wrote:That is starting to look like a football pitchwell done Darren, top job !!

It had some work a few weeks back to scarify, verti drain and seed it. Then it's just been a question of watering it, and then the first cut today, with some more fertiliser applied after that. More work to do on goal areas to thicken them up.BartonRaz wrote:It looks great. What is actually being done to it?

It does actually look like a football pitch now, the guys doing the work have done a great job.
We were looking back at some pictures of the Thrapston game yesterday and it looks better now than then, with still time to get it even better.
