Bishops Cannings Cricket Club seeding preparation 22 Sept updated 19 October

Posted on 30 October 202125 January 2023 by Debbie Newman

Preparation for seeding at Bishops Cannings Cricket Club earlier in the week, following importing and levelling of soil to bring up outfield levels.

We were asked to level and seed the area and sow with sports mix grass seed. Tristan spent a Saturday on the stone burier to get things level; seed was drilled today and rolled in. Green in a couple of weeks – hopefully!

The final image shows the ‘after’ – “Bishops Cannings Cricket Club now have a green outfield again! Favourable weather has made a huge difference with the special grass seed mix growing well in the mild conditions.
