DCM Fertiliser Proving a Game-Changer for Turf Across the UK — From Shetland to Cornwall
In recent years, turf managers across the United Kingdom have faced increasing pressure to deliver resilient, healthy grass in the face of climate variability, increased footfall, and stricter environmental regulations. Yet from the windswept greens of Shetland to the sun-kissed fairways of Cornwall, a new name has been making a mark in turf care — DCM fertiliser.
DCM (De Ceuster Meststoffen), a well-established Belgian company, has been gaining traction in the UK turf care industry thanks to its organic-mineral fertiliser formulations designed specifically to support sustainable, long-term turf health. With a focus on biological soil activation and slow-release nutrient technology, DCM’s range is demonstrating consistent results on everything from links golf courses and sports pitches to ornamental lawns and parkland turf.
A Fertiliser for Every Condition
One of the standout features of DCM fertilisers is their adaptability across a wide range of climatic and soil conditions. Turf professionals in Shetland, dealing with cool temperatures, persistent winds, and short growing seasons, have found that DCM’s slow-release action offers steady nutrient availability without the spikes and crashes that lead to stress or disease.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the country in Cornwall, where milder winters and longer seasons pose their own challenges — such as nutrient leaching and heavy wear from tourism — turf managers are echoing similar praise.
Biological Activity at the Core
At the heart of DCM’s success is its emphasis on building healthy soils, not just feeding the grass. Many of their formulations include organic components and beneficial microorganisms that stimulate microbial activity, enhance nutrient uptake, and improve soil structure.
This biological approach has resonated with turf professionals seeking to reduce reliance on synthetic inputs without compromising performance.
Sustainability and Consistency
Another major reason for DCM’s rising popularity is its environmentally friendly profile. With increasingly tight restrictions on fertiliser run-off and nitrate leaching, turf managers are looking for products that can deliver results while aligning with sustainability goals. DCM’s controlled-release nitrogen and high organic content help reduce waste and environmental impact.
And crucially, it’s consistent.
Whether you’re managing a community playing field or a championship-level golf course, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: DCM fertiliser is delivering on its promise — from Shetland in the north to Cornwall in the south.
