With the current weather we may be faced with developing hydrophobicity which will negatively impact turf recovery due to lack of rewetting when rains return. TriSmart is effective at correcting this and allows for quicker and more consistent recovery! 👇 💧 🌱

That's great news
This is great to see 🙌 Broadway Boy and Celebre D’Allen who ran in yesterday’s Randox Grand National are heading off home after being given the time and treatment they needed from our expert teams.
