Product Details

Description

Barenbrug Sport RPR Sprint Grass Seed is a blend of fast growing perennial ryegrasses, formulated specifically for the demands of racecourses.

☑ Racecourse

  • Barenbrug-bred Regenerating Ryegrass technology (RPR)
  • Exceptional wear tolerance, unparalleled capacity for recovery
  • 100% Barenbrug-bred perennial ryegrass
  • Broad-leafed and thrives on mowing heights > 60mm

Usage

  • Construction, divoting and overseeding of racecourses.

Features & Benefits 

  • Designed to give you the wear tolerance and recovery needed either for flat or national hunt racing circuits.
  • Key to the product’s unique recovery ability is Barlibro, a Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass (RPR) that produces determinate stolons (a stem that grows along the ground surface as it establishes and grows), resulting in solid ground cover and unparalleled capacity for recovery.
  • A major difference between equestrian surfaces and other sports is the mowing height. Industry trials mow grasses at 4-7mm, 10-15mm and 25mm, which is of little practical use to racecourse grounds managers.
  • RPR SPRINT is designed to be maintained at 60mm+ height of cut, which allows broader-leafed and faster growing varieties to be utilised. RPR SPRINT includes the agricultural grass variety, Galgorm, a perennial ryegrass, with excellent sward density and persistency. Fast growing and highly wear tolerant winter sports varieties Barorlando and Bardorado are also in the blend.

Clover Multi-Purpose Compost is a peat-based growing medium for all plants. It is suitable for seed sowing, potting-on, containers, hanging baskets, tubs, vegetables, and bedding plants. It’s one of the most versatile composts for both home and professional gardeners.

Yes, Clover Multi-Purpose is an all-purpose compost designed for almost every type of plant. However, for lime-hating plants such as rhododendrons, camellias, and azaleas, we recommend using an ericaceous compost for best results.

Clover Multi-Purpose is peat-based, giving it superior water-holding capacity, root aeration, and consistent performance. Many gardeners prefer it over peat-free options for reliability, though we also stock peat-free alternatives if you want an eco-friendly choice.

Yes, this compost is enriched with nutrients to feed plants for up to 4–6 weeks after planting. For longer-term growth, simply add a liquid or granular fertiliser once the initial feed runs out.

Absolutely. The fine, consistent texture makes it excellent for seed germination and young seedlings. Just follow your seed packet instructions for sowing depth and watering.

Yes. This compost has excellent moisture retention and drainage, making it one of the best composts for hanging baskets, patio tubs, and containers. It helps prevent plants from drying out too quickly, especially in warm weather.

No, it is not certified organic as it contains peat and added fertiliser. If you’re looking for an organic compost, we can recommend suitable peat-free alternatives.
