Case Studies and Testimonials

"Wychwood Park is a relatively new course - it opened in 2002.

It is quite an unusual setting, as we have several sensitive areas around the course - in particular a designated Site of Botanical Interest and a number of protected habitats for water voles and freshwater crayfish.

Obviously we are very conscious that applying synthetic products may harm the surrounding vegetation, particularly as it runs alongside the fairways.

I wanted to introduce a product that would populate the bacteria in the soil, encourage root growth and retain healthy playing surfaces - and all while ensuring that we look after the protected flora and fauna.

By introducing a liquid organic feed to the fairways, I feel that I am meeting all of these objectives and more. Firstly, Porthcawl is kind to nearby wildlife and looks set to have the desired soil conditioning effect.

Furthermore, it is enabling me to establish a balance management regime at the Club while it remains in its youthful stages. I think this is really important as, in my opinion, taking a balanced approach to turf care is the most effective method of greenkeeping. Creating a natural balance between synthetic and organic products stops the effects of single product overload - which often works in reverse by weakening defences and ultimately inducing disease.

Results speak for themselves, so I will continue to monitor the effects that Porthcawl has on the fairways - although we have already seen a lot of top growth and root development in the early stages. I can see it becoming a regular feature in my turf care regime, simply because it does exactly what it says and produces real and lasting results."

The championship golf course at Wychwood Park in Cheshire has been constructed to European PGA Tour standards, with tees and large greens also modelled to USGA specifications. To help keep the Course in supreme condition throughout the year, Keith has recently incorporated Porthcawl liquid organic feed into his turf maintenance programme

“I am a great believer in traditional methods of course management but am always trying to incorporate modern technology where appropriate. Farmura’s range gives me consistent results. The Flo Grow use on our U.S.G.A. greens on the Bracken Course has given outstanding results this year.”

“We have used Farmura Products for over 10 years and are very please with the results.”

“On National Trust common land our use of products is restricted. Farmura saved our fairways from sheep damage. We now have root growth, a thicker sward, and less divoting. Our greens have gone from strength to strength with Farmura as part of the program.”

“I’ve used products from the Farmura range for over 11 years. The consistency of the products together with the ease of application makes them the obvious choice for our policy of light liquid feeding. The quality of the products is reflected in the dominance of fine grasses in our surfaces.”

“We have been using Alginure products since they were formulated almost 40 years ago – they certainly have stood the test of time”

“There is no better and natural organic feed on the market. I would not use anything else.”

“I found the Potash Plus to be the best winter feed I’ve used, keeping the greens in good colour and helping against anthracnose.”

“Can be used as often as you like – can regulate growth [nice and even]. Tank mixes easily”

“We use Porthcawl all year round plus two applications of our own special mix to produce a thicker sward, even cover, nice colour and better root growth.

We have used Farmura Turf for over 20 years and Porthcawl for 8 years."

“Good overall performance and value for money good sward, easy application, organic, good results."

“We have been using Farmua Turf on our greens at Hallamshire for almost 20. There is no doubt that used with other organics such as seaweed, it has helped to improve the quality of the turf. The sward is much denser and holds its colour better throughout the year, reducing our use of conventional fertiliser.”

“Environmentally safe. Just an outstanding product. The golf club is ISO Registered so they endorse it.”

“I have found the Farmura range to be environmentally friendly, no gizmos or techno speak, just good, old fashioned common sense products that have stood the test of time, a bit like those who choose to use them!!”

"We are delighted with the performance of our pitch this year following the Eurogreen renovation - it is in the best condition for many years. The results, particularly The Cup Run, speak for themselves. We shall be using the System again this year."

"The renovation of The Den pitch, using the Eurogreen System has been very effective. Black Layer has disappeared, root structure has improved and the pitch condition has been highly praised both by the club and TV commentators. It has been a very successful partnership between ourselves and Farmura and we shall continue to use their services including the Farmura "vertidraining" at The Den and at the Training Pitches."
