Essential Aeration for Professional Turf
The Allett C-Range Sorrel Roller Cartridge is a vital tool for groundskeepers and turf specialists looking to maintain high-quality surfaces. Regular use is crucial for aerating pitches, particularly in high-traffic areas. This process relieves soil compaction, a common issue on sports turf, allowing air and essential nutrients to penetrate the surface and reach the root layer, promoting healthier and more robust grass growth.
How the Sorrel Roller Works
Designed for minimal disturbance, the Sorrel Roller uses a multi-tooth drum to push hundreds of small, round holes into the turf. Unlike slitting, this method of penetration provides effective aeration without disrupting the playing surface. The cartridge also features a small incorporated roller that helps to iron out any minor bumps, keeping the pitch in optimal condition. This makes it particularly beneficial for fine turf applications such as cricket pitches, bowling greens, and tennis courts.
For best results, sorrel rolling should be carried out before applying fertiliser. The holes created by the roller provide a direct and quicker route for nutrients to get to the soil and roots, maximising the effectiveness of any treatment programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main benefit of using the Allett C-Range Sorrel Roller?
The primary benefit is effective soil aeration with minimal surface disturbance. It relieves compaction caused by heavy use, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This promotes a healthier, more resilient turf, which is essential for sports pitches.
How often should I use a sorrel roller on my pitch?
The manufacturer recommends using the sorrel roller semi-regularly, especially on high-traffic and wear areas. The exact frequency will depend on the intensity of use, soil type, and weather conditions. It is particularly effective when used just before applying fertiliser.
Is the C-Range Sorrel Roller suitable for a domestic lawn?
While primarily designed for fine turf and sports pitches like bowling greens and tennis courts, it can be beneficial for high-quality domestic lawns that suffer from compaction, especially if you are aiming for a professional-grade finish with an Allett cylinder mower.
Will this cartridge fit any Allett mower?
This is specifically designed to fit Allett C-Range cylinder mowers that accept the interchangeable cartridge system. Please check your mower’s size before purchasing.
