a ’n lang winter sien almal uit na ’n Nheerlike somer wanneer daar lekker met vriende en familie saam gekuier kan word om die braaivleisvuur terwyl die kinders op die gras speel en baljaar. Daar is net een problem. Waar is die grasperk? Die droogte van die afgelope paar jaar het heelparty tuiniers genoop om die instandhouding van grasperke afterweë te laat. Een van die vrae wat tans die meeste gevra word, is: “Hoe kan ek my grasperk weer aan die gang kry?” September is die ideale maand om jou grasperk weer op dreef te kry. Bestaande grasperke moet nou baie kort gesny word. Hierdie praktyk staan bekend as “scarify”. Dit word gedoen om die eerste graslaag van ongeveer 1 tot 2 cm te verwyder. Nadat hierdie laag verwyder is, kan die grasperk belug word. Gebruik jou tuinvurk om oral op die grasperk gate te steek om lug na die wortels deur te laat. Hark Malanseuns Brilliant Topsoil oor die grasperk om die gate weer op te vul. Strooi Efekto Wonder 7:1:3 vir grasperke (een handvol per m²) oor die grasperk en maak goed nat. Die kunsmis kan op ’n maandelikse basis toegedien word. Onthou ook om eerder dieper water te gee op ’n minder gereelde basis as dat kort-kort bietjie water gegee word. Hierdie reël geld vir jou hele tuin en nie net vir jou grasperk nie. Dit is ook belangrik om steeds water te bespaar en daarom is dit verkieslik om NOW ON PROMOTION gryswater te gebruik om grasperke en tuine nat te maak. Om ’n nuwe grasperk te plant, moet die Iceberg Std Rose hoeveelheid son wat die area gaan kry R 00 in gedagte gehou word. Besoek gerus 199elk Pretty Gardens vir raad oor watter saad die beste in jou behoefte sal voorsien. Nadat die saad gekies is, kan die area voorberei word deur die grond los te maak en baie kompos in te werk voordat die grond mooi gelyk gemaak word. Nadat gesaai is, kan tuiniers die area bedek met rypdoek vir ongeveer vyf dae. Sodra die saadjies begin ontkiem, kan die rypdoek verwyder word. -Christo Coetzer

Groetnis. medallist, who was still within striking distance at halfway. A thriller of a last lap between Nyedimane, Ontong and Cronjé, who possesses the most track speed of the three, was expected. Lady Luck was, however, not in the Cronjé camp this time around and he had to withdraw from the race during the second lap after twisting his ankle in the dark. One can only hope his injury is not too serious, because this former SA cross-country champion will be a sure threat in short trail run races in the future. His resume of world class track running underlines the latter prediction. Cronjé is the SA senior record holder in the 1500 m and mile track events. With Cronjé out of the picture, it was over to Ontong to attempt to put a stop to Nyedimane’s supremacy. But this was not going to happen and Nyedimane crossed the line 12 seconds ahead of Ontong (36:33) who had a good run. Pitso Moeca fi nished in a distant third in 38:05. After the race, Nyedimane walked around with a serious limp, obviously having hurt himself in the dark on this diffi cult route. Beling, current SA Schools 3000 m (19 years) champion, was in a class of her own and crossed the line in overall fi rst place among the women in a quick 43:21. The Castle Lite league champion of 2016, Paulina Njeya, was second in 45:07. But take your hat off to Njeya, She turns 40 in September and is still the owner of the Free State marathon record for senior women with a time of 2:42.00. Beling and Njeya were followed by the crackerjack cyclist, Maricelle Bekker (45:57). For a cyclist this was a great performance and one can only imagine how well Bekker will do if she opts to take part in a duathlon race (running, cycling, running) or two in the future. THURSDAY 24 AUGUST 2017 Free State Cheetahs receive Van Jaarsveld boost
MORGAN PIEK [email protected]
The defending Currie Cup champions, the Toyota Free State Cheetahs, received a major boost ahead of the clash against the Golden Lions and their Guinness Pro14 opener. The Namibian international hooker, Torsten van Jaarsveld, has been given the all clear to resume training. The fi ery player has been out of action since June, after injuring his neck while representing Namibia in the World Rugby Nations Cup against Uruguay. On top of that, the hooking department has received a further boost with the versatile Elandré Huggett also receiving the green light to resume training. Both of these players started training with the team on Tuesday, and this was confi rmed by Van Jaarsveld himself. While the two players have been missed, the stand-ins, Jacques du Toit, Joseph Dweba and Reinach Venter, have all stood their man and have been impressive, so the news is good for the side. As is the case with the loose-forwards in the squad, it’s a department which has tremendous depth and is very competitive. The coach, Rory Duncan, says that they are delighted to have this depth and competitiveness in the department. “We’re fortunate to have that competition at hooker. We’ve got Jacques in the starting line-up. We’ve got Joseph who comes on every week and makes an impact. Torsten has been cleared, and Huggy has been cleared as well. “Jacques is obviously fi ghting for his spot The fi ery hooker, Torsten van Jaarsvelds’ return is a major boost for the Toyota Cheetahs as they get ready to play in both the Currie Cup and Guinness Pro14. in the team.
