Vredo Successful Andrew Mannion, Course manager at the Southern Golf Club (UK) “The real advantage of the Vredo Overseeder is that it improves the quality of the Greens, without affecting the play. The Vredo is quick, it only takes one and a half days to overseed all the greens. Play isn’t interrupted and the members are very satisfied with the results. Fine Turf management Jacco Meijerhof, director Hofmeijer Civil and cultivation technology: The Vredo Sport is a robust maintenance free machine, and therefore very reliable. With the Vredo Sport, equipped with the DDS system, many sports pitches are being overseeded during the summer break. The right mixture, amount and depth of the different seeds is applied, for the field to be used to its maximum. Han Lous,Camping Janse, Zoutelande After a summer full of tents, inflatable swimming pools and extremely high usage, the bare grass spots are overseeded in no time, sometimes even when the camp site is still being used. The new grass is already visible when the guests are still at the site. This way the green grass surface is an excellent selling point for our Camping! Recommended by Grass seed breeders Vredo’s overseeding tips and trics 1. It is important to scarify the turf/sod to eliminate the bad grasses and weeds and make space for the new healthy grasses. 2. Make sure you know what the character of the turf/sod is. What is the Ph balance? How is the compaction? Is there a lot of thatch? 3. A soil sample tells you a lot about your grass/sod, and by using the right fertiliser, you can recover a lot of your costs. 4. Make sure you use fresh grass seeds from an established A-Brand breeder. 5. Overseeding can be done in humid conditions. By seeding in the morning dew, you can easily see the area which has been seeded. 6. Slicing the soil with the discs aerates the top soil without interrupting the grass. Feel free to use the Vredo without seeds and experience the benefit. Vredo Sales representatives: Anne van Engelen & 7. Make sure to adjust the fertiliser to the needs of the young grass seedling. This Pieter-Teunis Hoogland helps to stimulate the new grass and slow down the growth of the old. The new grass will have less competition and the result will be a lot nicer. 8. Make sure you water the young plant regularly, but not too much, to promote a strong rooting. Its better to water your grass more regularly with less water, than water them once with too much. 9. The optimal depth of the seeds is 2.5 times the length of the seed. For instance: English Ryegrass = 4mm x 2.5 = 10mm seeding depth. Smooth Meadow-grass is 2 mm long x 2.5mm = 5mm seeding depth. An exception to this rule is fescue. This is a light germinator and needs to be seeded at 5mm depth. 10. Be patient, a grass seed must be able to grow into a mature grass plant. This takes time, but your patience will be rewarded. Copyright © 2018 Vredo Dodewaard BV. All rights reserved. All product information was correct at time of printing. Sport pitches Professional gardeners The VREDO Slurry injectors deposits the slurry at the root of the plant, without causing soil compaction. That way the grass optimally absorbs the nutrients by the roots for maximal grass growth. In all areas and in every branch of sport FTMM_082018_EN The VREDO Trac, specially made for solid and liquid manure, offers a higher capacity and an ideal weight distribution. Lower soil pressure retains the soil structure and the good grass growth.

Other Systems Without cutting, the seeds lands on the top of the turf and are not placed below the surface of grass with the resulting unnecessary loss of seeds. Why it works By delivering the grass seeds directly into the soil and not on the surface, you make optimal use of the expensive grass seeds. This way the seeds don’t dry out in the sun, get blown away by the wind or get eaten by the birds. The seeds are sown on ideal depth for germination to get air, light and heat which is needed for the best germination. With the DDS system, it is possible to sow two kinds of seeds in two...
