Paddock Maintenance
Breathe Life into Your
Paddocks with Suregrow CSM
DID you know 85% of grassland is mineral and trace element deficient?
Your paddocks and
grassland may look in
reasonable condition
but is both the soil and
the grass the very best it can be?
CSM from the Suregrow fertiliser
range provides more than 70
minerals and trace elements. A
number of these enter into the
plant and can be beneficial to the
health of the animals eating the
grass.
A granular blend of calcified
seaweed, CSM is from
sustainable sources, sun dried
sea salt and a natural source of
Magnesium. This results in the
formulation which is high in
Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium
and Chloride.
The minerals in CSM have
many benefits for both the grass
and horses. Calcium helps the
grass growth and neutralises
plant cell acidity improving
the palatability of the grass.
Increased levels of Magnesium
in the grass can have a calming
effect on the horse or pony
and supports the absorption of
Phosphate. Sodium, improves
the palatability of grass and
reduces the Potassium imbalance

in growing grass. Chloride’s
benefit is that it supports the
transportation of nutrients in
the plant.
CSM injects a wide range of
minerals and trace elements
into the soil which maximises
the utilisation of Nitrogen,
Phosphate, Potash and Sulphur.
This totally natural product
stimulates root development and
strength giving a denser sward,
while also improving the eating
quality of grass and acts as a soil
conditioner which results in a
denser more vibrant turf.
Said Jonathan Cox of Suregrow
UK: “CSM is a very flexible
product in that it can be applied
all year round.
“We advise and recommend the
continuous use of CSM, ideally
twice a year in late Spring and
again in early Autumn, this will
ensure an on-going supply of
minerals and trace elements.
“After applying CSM you can
immediately turn out your horse
after application, providing there
is 50mm of grass so there is no
need for any change of routine.”
Suregrow CSM is available in
20kg bags. RRP: £21.50
