Message Board - Cricket: rolling
1 Mar 2010 by longton
iv'e looked at the forecast for the coming week and it looks quite good but frost at night, i was wondering if it would be safe to do some rolling after the frost has cleared or would it damage anything?
cheers
owker.

We cut and verticut this morning will fertilise this afternoon.
looking to roll on wednesday when the frost has lifted. You never know what the weather has in store! We are lucky that our ground drains very quickly. It looks like a cricket ground again!
Temperature at 100mm 5.4 on thursday
3.7 this am

Dont know where you guys are but its still too wet down here to even think about rolling, would just kill the grass off.
And frosts are going to be heavy cos of the clear skys so the soil temp is going to be way down again.
What do I do? I just cut the grass.

Would rolling just 2 days after fertilising be ok if its granular

Granular requires irrigation, natural or self-applied, within 48 hours or so after application, therefore, is your square dry enough?
I know no boundaries.

I'm with barry we couldn't get the roller across to the square without it sinking so will have to wait a while yet. ian
