Terrace set up and ready for today’s game, whilst the robot mower is gradually lowering the Pavilion outfield height by 1mm a day. Nice to have started it when it was too wet and soft for other mowers. Down to 15mm by Monday morning and ready for feeding.

We first met @turfandy when he was Grounds Manager at Shrewsbury School. We then followed Andy’s pursuit of excellence since his move to Haileybury 6 years ago with a little help from a few of our clients 👏

Thank you @turfandy & team for preparing all the pitches for 15 home games @HbyCricket this Saturday having had little or no help from the meteorological Gods in the build up. Wonderful to see so many boys & girls in 🏏 action.

Enjoyable morning testing infiltration rates on site with the @HaileyburyGeog L6th A Level today. @turfandy was right- it’s hideous out there and the ground is so saturated there wasn’t much infiltration at all! #waders #saturated
