A NORTH WALES bowling club has seen amazing results on a moss problem by using MO Bacter, the organic fertiliser from DJ Turfcare.
Greenkeeper Alan Dugdale, a motorbike engineer by trade, has worked on the bowling green at Pennaenmawr Bowling Club at Conway, near Llandudno, for 10 years.
“Last year we had a terrible moss problem on the green so in February I tried MO Bacter on half the green for a trial run,” he says. “We noticed half way through the season that the moss on that side of the green had completely gone.
“Next spring we are planning to do the other half, but in the meantime I am applying Viano Bio Lime as an autumn treatment to improve the pH of our acid soil.”
Alan thinks the terrible winter and the length of time the green was under snow and ice was a significant factor in the increase in moss.
“We have all been amazed at the results on the half of the green that has been treated. There is no doubt that MO Bacter does what is says it will.”
Alan heard about MO Bacter from a friend while on holiday in Malta. “He was just an amateur gardener but he had used the product with great success on his lawn and gave me a leaflet,” he says.
“I’m very glad he did. We will carry on using Viano products if this is the result.”
