A Verti-Drain 7626 from Charterhouse is being put through its paces on the Isle of Wight, where contracts inspector Andrew Earley is using the powerful decompactor to tackle some extreme conditions.

Earley, who works for the Parks and Countryside Division within the Isle of Wight Council, has an extensive brief that covers turf surfaces from sports pitches to parks. He endorses the Verti-Drain 7626 as nothing else could be found with the same spec, and the tough decompactor is ideal for the varied conditions that he faces.
