Drainage improved at Maniaiti/Benneydale rugby ground

Check out the rugby ground at Maniaiti/Benneydale!!

Parklands Turf LTD came out to the Maniaiti/Benneydale rugby field recently to complete some Verti-draining which will help with the drainage issue the field has experienced.

Vertical drainage is a process of inserting tines into the surface of the ground, which breaks up soil compaction creating better drainage and allowing oxygen into soil.
