Green Waste Compost (PAS100 Certified)
This compost is produced from recycled household garden waste and manufactured to a recognised standard (PAS100). It is available in most counties across the UK and can often be purchased cheaply from recycling centres.
However, standard green waste compost is frequently quite coarse and may contain pieces of wood. It therefore needs sieving before use — a time-consuming process. The product I supply offers a distinct advantage: it has already been professionally graded to produce a fine, consistent material of superb quality. While it is more expensive, it is perfectly suited to croquet lawns and fine turf surfaces.
Green Waste Compost has a remarkable ability to retain moisture and remain damp even in dry conditions. This is critical when germinating seed, as newly germinated seedlings must not dry out. Its moisture-holding capacity makes it outstanding for seeding and seedling establishment. In my experience, it is the most reliable method of seeding fine turf

Bare Patches
There is no need to create a traditional seed bed. Simply scatter the seed over the affected area and cover with approximately 8mm of seeding compost.
Do not rake or disturb the existing surface — just sow and cover. The compost will not create bumps or unevenness. Being fully organic, it naturally integrates into the soil profile as it is broken down by soil micro-organisms.
Repairing Holes and Dents (During the Playing Season)If repairing damage during the playing season, mix the compost 50/50 with sand and add a generous amount of seed.
Use round-grained sand, not sharp sand. This is typically sold as soft sand or builders’ sand. Fill the hole with the mixture and water it in thoroughly.
Watering once per day is generally sufficient to ensure good germination. Twice daily is ideal, although usually unnecessary unless conditions are exceptionally hot.
In suitable growing weather, you can expect germination within 5–8 days
