"Does turf harvesting slowly lower the level of the turf farm?"
It’s fairly simple. When mowing our 15ha of lawn, we mulch it back into the surface. Annually we mow 3-4 metres of grass, each metre composts decomposes down to 10mm of topsoil back into the surface, totalling 30-40mm. This balances out with the approx. 25mm of soil we take off when harvesting.
So, while we are taking topsoil off when we harvest, our turf farm is not sinking each time, but is in fact coming up by 5-15mm each year.
