Why and how to brush your turf

Brushing is now an essential part of sports turf maintenance and is used extensively on many golf courses and sports facilities to encourage healthy turf growth and also enhance presentation.

Brushes are used to remove dew to prevent fungal diseases, stand up the grass prior to mowing, prevent wet clippings clumping up, brush in topdressings, disperse wormcasts and leave beautifully striped turf.

Many brushes come with different bristle options enabling you to change the brush sections to do the different tasks more effectively.

TOP TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BRUSHING PERFORMANCE

• Make sure all the nuts and bolts tight and all moving parts are lubricated and free
• Check the brushes have no loose, bent or damaged bristles
• Are all the bristles long enough or are they heavily worn?
• Are the bristles the correct type for the task in hand?
• Ensure the storage legs or stands are fitted so it doesn’t sit on the brushes after use
• After use, wash away all debris so it doesn’t go hard and impede brushing next time.
