Commercial growing of turf on rented land as a rotational crop.


Turf production on a commercial scale is typically a labour intensive and costly business. According to industry sources, a turf farm needs to be at least 400-500 acres (160-200 hectares) if the cost of machinery is to be covered. It is also very important that you have enough land to be able to grow a succession of turf crops so that you can always fulfil orders. You might decide to rent additional land, on which you grow fast maturing general contract turf and grow slower, specialist turf on your own land. Some turf suppliers operate from several different sites so that they can offer customers turf grown on different soils. This can help the turf to become established quickly once it has been laid. Land suitable for turf-growing must be well-drained, level and stone-free and easy for your lorries or tractors to access. You may need to consider irrigation systems during the summer months. The soil itself must be suitable and not contain too much clay.
