Seeding and Turfing this Spring/Summer

The main problem with sowing seeds and laying turf in Spring and Summer is moisture retention (or the lack of it) To combat this problem we have introduced a remarkable moisture enhancing product named ZEBA.

Zeba contains easy to apply., free flowing 100% natural, biodegradable granules which have the ability to retain many times there own weight of water.

When the seedling or the turf starts to produce new roots, this is when they are most vulnerable to dry soil damage. By incorporating Zeba into the top 5-10mm of topsoil and irrigating, a reservoir of easily releasable water is available to the root system of all young plants helping them to overcome any dry spells and develop without a check in growth or speed of establishment.

Zeba is not an alternative to watering plants, but it does take a lot of the guesswork out of water application timings and frequency and helps to improve seeding and turfing success ratios.

DEALING WITH DROUGHT & HEAT

JST research department has been busy over the last few years sourcing and developing new products to cope with our increasingly HOT & DRY SUMMERS.

1. JS17 OASIS Grass Seed Mixture

Predominately a mixture of two of the finest leaved Tall Fescues available DEBUSSY & MASTERPIECE. These grasses have been outstanding during last summers drought, still green and lush whilst all the other grasses have wilted and turned to straw.

JS17 is tough and wear tolerant, whilst the extremely aggressive root system has been known to penetrate down to 1.5m. This makes this mixture ideal for very wet soils as well. It should be noted that Tall fescue is coarser leaved than your average lawn grass...read more.

2. JT8 OASIS Turf

Grown from two varieties of Prostrate Meadow Grass (Poa Supina) SUPRA & SUPRANOVA, we have produced an extremely drought and heat tolerant turf which is also outstanding in shady gardens. These alpine grass species spreading by rhizomes (prostrate runners) provide a medium to fine textured turf of good all year round colour which id ideal for small gardens...read more.

3. ZEBA

ZEBA is an exciting new technology produced from 100% corn starch that is designed to hold 400x its weight in water but let it go when the plant needs it. By applying to lawns, gardens and the root zones of trees and shrubs Zeba absorbs water, creates air pockets in the soil for oxygen concentration around the root zone, allows longer watering intervals, retains more rain water and creates more drought resistant plants...read more.
