Work on the lawn of the Michel d’Ornano stadium began this Monday morning
Work has been underway since yesterday to renew the grass at the Ornano stadium for next season. The operation consists of removing the entire plant cover of this hybrid ground, also composed of synthetic and sand, and then sowing it again. Very regular mowing is thus carried out to accelerate the development of the plant part. Then, depending on the weather and a few other factors, it takes four to five weeks to find passable ground.
However, the pampering of the green rectangle is not limited to these operations. Thus, the ground is subject to constant tones, once or twice a day in summer and two to three times a week in winter. The turf personnel are also responsible for setting up or setting up the goals. Also, other operations exist, such as the use of fertilizers, trace elements and iron to maintain the health and shine of the ground. At the same time, mowing is systematically carried out the day after matches. Finally, “every three weeks, we drill holes in the lawn with a pin to try to soften it. This is called decompacting ”as explained by Quentin Planchard, lawn referent of the Ornano stadium. It is therefore all these elements, symbol of optimal maintenance, which allow SM Caen to rank 3th the lawn championship organized by the LFP and to offer a quality show during the home matches of the reds and blues.
