Angus Gypsum
Calcium sulphate, or granular gypsum, for flocculating clay soils
Angus Horticulture offers a specialised solution for sports turf maintenance with its granular gypsum formulation. Designed specifically for sports turf applications, this granular gypsum is designed to meet the challenges of clay soils commonly found on sports pitches. By effectively flocculating the clay particles, it helps to alleviate waterlogging problems, promoting optimum drainage and preventing water from accumulating on the surface. This allows turf managers to maintain consistently firm and playable surfaces, improving the overall quality and performance of sports pitches.
