Research and results by STRI
ForthRoots have worked with the STRI to evaluate the benefit of using our FR1 and FR2 trenchers to improve soil drainage in localised areas of a golf course.
The STRI is recognised as the world’s leading sports turf consultancy, with more than 80 years experience in research and dedication to the improvement of sports turf surfaces.
STRI trials confirm that use of ForthRoots trenchers to carry out improvements to localised wet areas resulted in both visual and measurable benefits to the surface, providing greenkeepers with a useful tool to optimise soil water management.

A Problem We've Solved
Existing drainage failing due to slow water movement caused by the distance from problem area to main drain.
Solution: Use ForthRoots FR1 4" blade to install drainage pipe or capillary flow drainage materials, providing secondary drainage which can be linked to main drains.
