Greenest Turf Ever NEW
Friday 13th March 09
Online Turf has combined improved grass varieties with excellent colour, with a special program of nutrient plant feed to produce our greenest ever turf. This turf is a deep dark green and we have so many positive compliments from our customers.
"The turf is really green this year and is some of the best we have ever seen, our customers have been really happy with the results from the turf we have been laying for them" Andy Crontons Nurseries
Online Turf are proud to receive such positive comments and will continue to work hard at leading the quality of turf across the UK.
Getting ready for Spring
Tuesday 17th Feb 09
| After the severe frosts and snow the turf has held up well. During frosty weather the turf lifts a little and we are today starting the process of rolling the turf production area to firm the turf once again. During the bad weather we had our harvesting disrupted but we are once again in full production and the turf is selling well. Andrew Mercer, production director, commented “I am delighted with the deep green sword we have been able to maintain despite the frosty weather. The nursery really is looking in excellent condition.” |

Big freeze across the UK
Tuesday 6th Jan 09
The recent extreme cold conditions have stopped harvesting on the online turf production unit. The soil beneath the turf has frozen into a solid block making harvesting impossible. The turf does not come to any harm but it is just a waiting game to allow the soil to thaw. The dense sward acts as an insulation which often prevents the soil beneath from freezing, but once it had frozen the turf keeps it cold and prevents the thaw. Andrew Mercer, Production director, commented: “ In the winter harvesting is often limited to the warmer times of the day, but it is unusual to be completely frozen. It is not predicted that any harvesting will take place this week. It allows time for essential maintenance and we can prepare for the busy spring ahead.

Seasons Greetings to all our Customers
2008 has been another very successful year for North West Turf and the online turf group. We have continued to hold our number one place at the top of Google and had another very successful year as the UK’s leading turf grower.
Online turf has upgraded it’s fleet of turf production tractors and have changed from the red Massy Furguson to the green John Deer tractors. All the turf production tractors have been fitted with extra wide turf tyres for low ground pressure so that our turf production fields remain as flat as a billiard table. Online turf also has a 170 horse power John Deer 6930 premium which is used to bring turf back to the yard ready for collection. This is fitted with a tracking device so we know exactly when the turf will arrive at the yard.
Our state of the art Trebro Autostack turf harvester has continued to harvest all our turf requirements as a single person operation giving a fresh, reliable and consistent supply.
The fleet of wagons has also been upgraded and the ERF wagons have been replaced with the more fuel efficient Volvo 6x2 wagons all fitted with Moffett Mounty fork lift trucks.
We are all looking to a well earned Christmas break before the 2009 season commences.
We wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Kind Regards,
Ian Mercer
(Joint MD)
