Maintain turf performance through the winter with Microlite All Round ๐ฑ
Microlite All Round is a versatile micro-granule fertiliser that contains a combination of nitrogen sources for a well-balanced release pattern and consistent nutrition without excessive flushes of growth.ย
๐น A combination of nitrogen sources delivers a balanced, slow-release nutrition profile
๐น High levels of potassium and calcium support turf through the winter or other periods of increased stress
๐น Added iron provides an initial colour response while helping to harden the turf
๐น Unique micro-granulation provides excellent coverage at low application rates, helping to avoid uneven coverage and unsightly speckling
๐น Granules disperse quickly into the sward, making it ideal for use during the playing season
If you're looking for a practical product, well suited to lower nitrogen approaches, speak to the Origin Amenity team about incorporating Microlite All Round into your winter programme today. Read more here: originamenity.com/microlite-โฆ

14.5 weeks of normal usage levels over 4 days,coupled with average temps of 27ยฐ,left this pitch under serious pressure. 60kg of @Aquatrols Aquaduct Flex, 6 cycles of irrigation and 1 week and it looks much better. Still lots of work to be done but it's better for now.

๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ Thierry Henry on Mikel Artetaโs Arsenal defeat to AFC Bournemouth:
โLook, Iโm going to say it how it is because people donโt like to hear the truth when itโs about Arsenal. This team is too comfortable. Too comfortable. You canโt be in a title race and play like youโre protecting something instead of going to take it.
Iโve defended Mikel Arteta many times, but todayโฆ I didnโt recognize that team. Where is the urgency? Where is the killer instinct? Youโre playing AFC Bournemouth, no disrespect, and youโre moving the ball like youโre 3-0 up already. Thatโs arrogance, not control.
And this is the problem, itโs not the first time. When it matters, they hesitate. They overthink. They try to play the โperfectโ football instead of winning ugly. Champions donโt do that. Iโve been there, sometimes you have to suffer, sometimes you have to be nasty. I donโt see that edge in this team.
People will talk tactics, substitutions, whateverโฆ but for me itโs mentality. If you keep dropping points like this, donโt talk to me about the title. Youโre giving it away. Again.
And if Mikel Arteta doesnโt change something quickly, whether itโs the approach, the attitude, or even making big decisions on players, then yes, they will bottle it. And I donโt say that lightlyโฆ but weโve seen this movie before.
At some point, you have to stop saying โweโre closeโ and actually do it. Right now? Theyโre not doing it.โ
