As the years go by, all turf is subject to ageing where grass dies thus reducing the density of growth. This gives weeds & moss the opportunity to take over the lawn and while scarifying and spraying can help to briefly interrupt the decline, the only long-term solution is to rejuvenate the grass – the key to successful turf is overseeding.
With the Eliet Overseeder you can renovate tired and thin grass in no time at all by adding new grass. This inexpensive alternative can take place quickly and guarantees a visible result in less than a month. The grass will be available for normal use immediately after overseeding which for example is extremely important to sports clubs.
Since the new grass seed is inserted between existing vegetation when overseeding, it is essential for the success of the treatment that the seed can germinate as soon as possible and that growth opportunities are maximised. The patented operating principle of the DZC 600 ensures ideal conditions for the introduction of seed:
- Cutting open the soil
The cutting blades at the front of the machine cut open 10 (0.4″) to 15mm (0.6″) deep grooves in the soil of the lawn in preparation for the grass seed.
- Removal of excess soil
The blades rotate over the top and cast the soil in an arch to the rear of the machine so that it
does not fall into the newly cut grooves.
- Precision sowing
A clever and compact seed distribution system, Helix Seed DuctTM, carries the seed under the projected excess soil into small funnels leading to discharge channels precisely located above the clean grooves.
- Injection
A small air pressure generator blows air through the seed funnels so the seed is blown while it is being distributed. This helps the seed to settle faster and with more precision in the grooves.
- Rollers
The powered rubber roller immediately follows the seed distribution process and ensures that
there is good contact between the soil and the seeds by pressing the earth down.
- Covering the seed
The flow of projected excess earth falls just behind the roller on the sown area. The earth covers
the seedbed and provides a protective layer for the seed, increasing the chances of germination and growth.
The DZC 600 Overseeder from Eliet makes high tech overseeding possible at an affordable price.
Eliet have teamed up with Rigby Taylor and every New DZC 600 overseeder purchased (until 30th June 2016) will be supplied to the end user with a 20kg bag of Rigby Taylors R25 CRT seed worth £100.00.
