For some years now in the field of gardening there has been a profound change in tastes and uses, with the introduction of products that were impossible to imagine until recently, such aslawn ready to roll. This product is used to obtain a turf without having to resort to sowing, therefore with an optimal and immediate result.
But how is it produced? What techniques and equipment are used?
In this article we will show you howPrato ErbosoAz. Agr. Srl, owner of the brandPrato ErbosoOn Line, leader in Italy for the production and sale of ready-made lawn, produces its lawn.
Phase 1 - The choice of land
The first important thing to do is to choose the land on which to cultivate the lawn which will then be sod. In fact, the substrate must be composed of fertile soil, without the presence of stones or stones and above all a non-loamy or clayey soil, as this would create problems with the correct drainage of the water causing probable fungal diseases or asphyxiation, both in the production phase and post laying (i.e. after laying the ready-made lawn in the customer's land).
Phase 2 - Tilling the land
Once the right soil has been identified, work begins. Usually it starts with thetillageof the land by means of subsoiler.
After which a passage is made with a rotary cutter or harrow in order to shred and give a first level to the ground.VIDEO
Before the last mechanical operation, a basic fertilization is carried out, usually based on organic or organo-mineral fertilizers, iron sulphate and above all phosphorus and mycorias. For a few years nowPrato ErbosoAz. Agr. Srl has chosen ifertilizers Bottoswhich have proved to be products of the highest quality.
Afterwards, the passage is carried out with the stone burying machine, a particular milling machine capable of finely chopping the soil, leveling it and compacting it at the right point so that the seed does not fall too deep.
Phase 3 - From sowing to tillering
Once this is done, the soil is ready for sowing. Also in this case, in order to obtain a carpet of the highest quality, the choice of seeds is important, and also in this casePrato ErbosoAz. Agr. Srl has chosen for years to useseedsBottos. The choice was determined by various field trials carried out over the years with various seed companies.
The seed is thus mixed with afertilizer in micro granulesbased on phosphorus (so-called "Starter" which can be for example theBottosBio Start) and a microgranular insecticide to combat attack by insects.
This is done by sowing with a professional seeder.VIDEO
An effective and functional irrigation system will be created and frequent irrigation will be started for the first few weeks in order to keep the soil always moist. This will allow the seed to germinate. During the following 10/12 months the lawn will be maintained in an optimal way so that it can branch and "mature" in an excellent way.
These maintenance include, in addition to irrigation managed based on climate and temperatures, mowing carried out with professional machines.
Furthermore, fertilization is important. To get the best resultPrato ErbosoAz. Agr. Srl has chosen to usefertilizersBottos.
Phase 4 - Harvesting (clod)
Finally, after 10/12 months, the lawn is ready to be harvested and clod to be delivered to our customers. To do this, a special machine is used that clods the ground and rolls it up on itself. The rolls are stored on pallets up to a maximum of 50/55 square meters per pallet.
To ensure that the lawn reaches customers as fresh as possible,Prato ErbosoAz. Agr. Srl collects the lawn very early in the morning in order to deliver it within the same day or at the latest within 24 hours. In fact, as soon as the clod is finished, the lawn is loaded onto the trucks that will leave immediately for delivery to customers.
