OZTUFF’s Durability

OZ TUFF was ranked #1 for wear tolerance in a 4 year HAL study (TU08018), collected data mirrored results seen in the field where it has been planted on sports fields receiving high usage, OZ TUFF also has a moderate thatch layer which provides greater wear resistance.

OZ TUFF has demonstrated it can handle salt water levels 50% of that of sea water, and it proved to have superior performance under conditions of server water stress and high wear when compared to other turf species (TU06006 & TU02005).

Maintenance Tips

• Do not plant in shaded areas OZTUFF needs a good 6+ hours of sun a day minimum.
• Water less often (fortnightly) once established but in larger volumes to encourage deep rooting and promote drought tolerance.
• To avoid excess thatch build up mow with a catcher & avoid over fertilising, OZTUFF only needs fertilising once a year, sometimes less depending on how good your soil is.
• Even though it doesnt need it, weekly mowing will help keep it even and flat and promote lateral growth
