Be a lawn arranger with Barenbrug

'The Emergency Life Saver' is a new hard-wearing grass that germinates faster, even in cold weather. Barenbrug supplies the lawn seed to Creamfields, the dance music festival.

Ed Dawson, landscape contractor for Creamfields uses The Emergency Life Saver to sow high-traffic main stage areas and walkways because of its: "resilience, good looks and lightening germination."

Almost 70,000 people visited the Daresbury Estate, Cheshire, over the August Bank Holiday.

This was a real test for the Emergency Life Saver, part of Barenbrug's Green Velvet lawn seed range.

The overseeding ryegrass blend offers faster establishment than any other 100% perennial ryegrass blend.

It offers the ultimate quick fix for emergency repairs for year-round lawn cover.

Keep a packet in the shed for patching, or repairs. It's ideal for winter and early spring or year round cover for bare patches, getting your lawn green, faster.

Its annual ryegrass can germinate at 3.5°C in just 3-5 days.

Said Ed: "After the 2012 floods, the ground was wrecked. Foot deep ruts over about 40% of the 400 acre grounds. New drainage had to be built, so we couldn't reseed in autumn. When I took the site back in April 2013 I had under four months to get it ready. An impossible task?"

To renovate a site the size of 230 football pitches, Ed turned to 'The Emergency Life Saver' lawn seed. By August it was ready with dense, quality turf that could withstand heavy wear.

All Green Velvet mixtures are available in a range of sizes, 15sqm cartons and 50sqm pouches, priced from £6.99 for a 525g carton to £87 for 20kg. For details visit: www.greenvelvetlawnseed.com or wholesale enquiries, please call 01359 272000.
