@rogerkeith1 @CrowboroughAFC 20-10-10 is a controlled release fertiliser 8 weeks roughly, and i just johnson’s perennial rye grass

[nick collick @NickCollick]

13 days from seed, good germination hoping will now kick on, time for a feed 20-10-10 applied and washed in with rain tomorrow, 1st cut monday 😃 @CrowboroughAFC

[nick collick @NickCollick]

this morning cocktail before the hat hits us, wetting agent and seaweed application and a nice water in. @CrowboroughAFC

[nick collick @NickCollick]

@_BenBraddock_ @CrowboroughAFC that is the plan, 20ton more sand than last year to try and aid us through the winter a little better. year on year trying to sustain better and stronger grass which holds the pitch together a lot better,

Goodbye pitch of 2025 and hello to the new pitch of 2026, renovation now complete was a tricky start with the rain tuesday, really good day yesterday and finnished off this morning over the moon with the finnished product. 💙. @CrowboroughAFC
youth pitch also got some TLC

[nick collick @NickCollick]

@crowsunofficial @CrowboroughAFC that’s where i went wrong 🙈

[nick collick @NickCollick]

For the final time this season the pitch has been cut ahead of our youth fiesta this weekend. 103 games completed, 12 senior training sessions and 27 youth training sessions. it’s been one hell of a year, tuesday we rip it up and go again 😉 @CrowboroughAFC

[nick collick @NickCollick]

5am start can only mean 1 thing, competition season has started 😃

[nick collick @NickCollick]

@JARVISBROOKFC @WestfieldFC9 @CrowboroughAFC my seed goes in ground in 10 days time, scarifying, 60ton sand and 12 bags seed going down with a lot of water 😂 then 8 weeks till we host a pre season game 🤦‍♂️

[nick collick @NickCollick]

clean up after last night game under 2 weeks till we start the pitch again. 97 games completed 6 more to go before we end on our annual youth fiesta weekend in 10 days. @CrowboroughAFC

[nick collick @NickCollick]

@JARVISBROOKFC @WestfieldFC9 @CrowboroughAFC good luck, i had to turn irrigation on end of march this year thats earliest in 7 years and had to put most water at this stage of season too just to keep existing grass happy and healthy. not looking good once new seed is drilled 🙈

[nick collick @NickCollick]

was done prior to me arriving so around 7 years ago but looks fairly simple, worth while or just getting a new head will help you, 15min on mine puts down just under 2mm water i can water 1/2 my pitch in 1 tank as puts just under 3.5mm in an hour of watering

[nick collick @NickCollick]

@WestfieldFC9 @CrowboroughAFC min throws 15m so can cover a 30m circle.

[nick collick @NickCollick]

@WestfieldFC9 @CrowboroughAFC rainbird head, it’s the same sprinkler you would get on a popup but we just mounted on wheels.

[nick collick @NickCollick]
