Worm Cast Control - CastClear - 1 Litre

Worms are great for the lawn but in the autumn through to the spring months their casts cause a really big problem on the lawns surface making it muddy, bumpy, wet and uneven.

Worm Cast control products have not been available to domestic lawn owners until now. It does not kill the worms but deter them from entering the upper surface of the lawn and depositing their burrows soil on the surface of the lawn.

The Lawn Shop CastClear is an unique combination of nutrient materials that have been clearly shown to reduce worm-cast levels on professional sports turf.

It is unique in using a surfactant system that moves the nutrient into the upper soil structure and fixes it there providing good persistence of deterrent effect until breaking down to natural nutrients absorbed by plant roots.

1 Litres will control 500 sqm and you will need to make an application every month from end of September through to the Spring. The initial dose rate is 1 Lts per 500 sqm but you can cut this down to third rate for repeat applications but there is no problem sticking at the full rate.

Apply at 200 ml of chemical in a minimum of 2.5 lts of water over 100 metres. Mow ahead of application. Do not apply in the rain or if rain is expected soon after application. Do not mow after application until there has been a heavy dew or rainfall. It will not stop casts that are there at the time of application but new casts will stop after 5 days so please be patient as the product needs to work its way down into the root zone to form the deterrent barrier. Apply every 10 - 20 days and the repeat application rate is 70 ml in a minimum of 2.5 lts of water over 100 sqm.

It is totally non-pesticidal, safe for lawn users including children and pets but it is advisable to keep lawn users off the treated lawn for 48 hours. Please read the product label carefully and ensure that you are wearing suitable personal protective equipment like non-absorbant gloves.

Best applied via a small compression sprayer fitted with a medium spray nozzle - like one from the range in this shop. Follow your mowing lines and apply across the complete surface of the lawn including the corners and edges!

We now have Garden Centres stocking it, especially locally to our base nr Woking. In the meantime, the only way to purchase it is online so one carriage charge regardless of the number of 1 litres purchased. The image is the new label so you may get an old or new labelled bottle until the stocks of the old label are gone of these.
