cymaz Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 St Austell DMC spent out some money earlier in the year on second hand AstroTurf. We have a serious rabbit problem....the little blighters keep digging large scrapes all across the patch and it was getting worse. This weekend we all got organised and with the help of Morcom Construction who lent us the telehandler and 7 weeks of dry weather. The ground was ideal...rock hard. We fly off an old mica dam (in the heart of the China Clay area ) and there is barely an inch of soil on which moss grows....and damn all else. Site marked out and 09:00 Two hours later... Lunch time By 6pm we are all finished. Just some rolling and edge tidying later in the month 12 meters wide and 65meters long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucksboy Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 We laid an AstroTurf strip a few years ago for exactly the same reasons. We were lucky enough to get ours for free but then paid to have it laid. Best thing we ever did, good luck with yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowerman Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 That's looking good. Even I should be able to land on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
