The invention relates to a completely or partially compostable turf () the turf being a completely or partially compostable artificial turf or a hybrid turf () comprising a completely or partially compostable hybrid turf support, the turf comprising a decomposition inhibitor, the decomposition inhibitor in the turf being adapted to lose its functionality or leave the turf until a defined period of time has elapsed.

Compostable turf with decomposition inhibitor

There is provided a hybrid turf support for use with natural grass to form a stable hybrid turf system, the hybrid turf support comprising a knitted reticulated support; and a plurality of grass-like fibers extending upwardly from the knitted reticulated support, the grass-like fibers comprising groups of fibers extending upwardly at intervals.

Hybrid turf surface and support therefor

A turf surface () comprising: (a) a reinforcing root-permeable mat (); (b) a removable root-permeable backing () located beneath the reinforcing root-permeable mat (); (c) a layer of growth media () located on the reinforcing root-permeable mat (); and (d) natural grass plants () having roots () extending downwardly through the layer of growth media () and the reinforcing root-permeable mat () and the removable root-permeable backing (); wherein, in use, prior to being laid at a destination site, the removable root-permeable backing () is separated from the reinforcing root-permeable mat (), so that any roots () which engage with and extend through the removable root-permeable backing () are substantially removed from the turf surface ().
