“ After an in-depth look under the surface , high levels of thatch were the obvious reason for poor turf health . I was keen to get the biology doing its thing ! After our first season of using ThatchEater and Compost Teas , the difference was amazing . We went from high levels of tight thatch to a reduced amount , with it being a lot easier to pull apart and less dense . The condition of our greens improved and the surfaces already looked better health-wise . We continued using ThatchEater in the second year and again with visible results and improved turf health ”.

sports turf maintenance , with the microbes hard at work in the soil decomposing thatch , disruption on the surface in the form of more onerous , expensive , and disruptive maintenance can be decreased .
OAS ThatchEater is a proven solution to reduce thatch build-up and improve overall turf health . It utilises a carefully selected blend of beneficial soil fungi and bacteria known for their ability to rapidly degrade thatch and organic material into humus , a valuable soil component . ThatchEater uses Biofixation technology . This unique process is used to enhance the metabolism of beneficial microorganisms and protect them from UV light and chemicals .
OAS ThatchEater aids in the promotion of root growth , leading to increased nutrient and water uptake - crucial for the health and sustainability of sports turf . Stronger and deeper root systems result in better overall sward density , contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing and durable playing surface . It releases food for fungi which promotes the growth of desirable fine grasses and leads to high-quality playing surfaces . Additionally , the conversion of thatch to humus through microbial activity helps to release locked-up nutrients into the soil .
