Introduction:
Mechanical thatch control is costly, disruptive, and often short-lived. What if you could eliminate the problem biologically — and improve turf performance at the same time?

The BioActive Solution
By combining BioActive Thatch Reduce with BioActive Molturf, you unlock a powerful natural process:

• Thatch is broken down by specialist microbes and enzymes.
• Those breakdown products are converted into nutrients for the turf.
• Soil biology is stimulated, not sterilised.

The Result?
✔ Less thatch
✔ Healthier soil
✔ Stronger turf
✔ Better surface performance

Spray It, Don’t Scarify It
Both products are easily mixed and sprayed – no mechanical disruption, no follow-up repair, and no downtime.

And at just £40 per green per application (for Bowls Central Academy Members), this is the most cost-effective, long-term thatch control method available today.

Maintaining a consistently high-performance bowling green is never about one magic product or technique. It’s the result of accumulated marginal gains—careful attention to soil health, organic matter management, air and water movement, and a programme that supports the biology underpinning the entire turf system.

At the heart of this biological approach is a class of products known as biostimulants. One of the most quietly effective formulations in our arsenal is BioActive Formula Green.

High-sand bowling green rootzones are often biologically sterile. Biostimulants help to rebuild microbial life, improve root mass and nutrient cycling and reduce dependency on chemical fertilisers

While many assume surface-casting worms are shallow dwellers, the reality is more complex. Lumbricus terrestris, for example, is a deep-burrowing anecic worm—it constructs vertical burrows up to 2 metres deep but returns to the surface to feed on organic debris, which it pulls into its burrow.
