Welcome to what you should regard as your resource for turf on the Net. Having an easy and ready to use data base of information at your finger tips can only help you do what you do best whether you be a Turf Manager, Horticulturalist or just a home owner! We at Paton Fertilizers realise this and consequently have compiled a vast data bank of what we hope is useful information compiled from numerous sources all over the Net. Much of this information is readily available but the key has always been to know where to look. Hence this database.

We have attempted to make this as easy to use as possible and so if you see something that catches your eye just right click on the link and save as....

We have also added relevant product and research information to the products that we market. This is a currently a free service and we are aiming to continue this state of affairs. So your feedback is most welcome. New updates are marked
