Rolling
Ensures a level riding surface and evens out any poaching. Only done in
moderation to avoid compaction, which would stunt grass growth and reduce
water penetration.
Muck spreading
Improves the organic structure of the soil.
Harrowing
Rakes up debris thereby allowing light & air to get to young shoots
to promote growth.
Slitting
Relieves compaction and aerates the grass roots. Also allows water to
drain away from the surface and penetrate down to the roots and drainage
channels.
Joskin
Evens out poaching and unlevel ground, and rakes up debris.
Fertilising
To feed the grass and roots.
