Fixing Bare Spots In My TifTuf (Bermuda) Couch With Plugs

[@LawnRight]

Ha ha ha! "I'm free!" love it! That plugger is such an effective tool... "I gotta go get me one of these!". Keep up with the content

[@LawnTips]

Haha, thanks mate!

[@bradleyboyle5286]

I absolutely love the effort you put into your videos, with all the little edits and graphics you do!

[@girls007kt]

Your videos helped me transform my patch of compressed dirt into a beautiful lush lawn that brings me joy. Grass/lawns are still nature and nature is proven to increase mood and even memory retention. You make awesome videos mate, keep doing you :)

[@zcmini000]

Anyone else have an absolutely awful looking lawn but is still subscribed to this guy?

[@shaunjarrads1991]

Currently yes.. previously used to be amazing. Only letting my lawn go because I'm moving house and the house I'm in now will be bulldozed so the lawn will get destroyed so just giving it the basic trim nothing else. Why waste money right?

[@JoseJose-dm1iw]

Thumbs up for the little face on the plug!

Yo mate, waddup. Welcome to another Lawn Tip Vid 😎

[@joelchippendale4117]

Great vid mate. Keen to see how the plugs progress over the next few weeks 👍

[@roboticlawnmowers2797]

it's good to know that even the experts have dead patches of lawn... but that's the great thing about turf - it's a natural growing thing and when you do take good care of it, it responds.

[@syarrum6]

have you thought about about putting concrete or pavers where the bins are? just to create some delineation between the dirt and green

Another fun vid Ben. Recently discovered Home Run Lawns LLC. Shorts vids, but awesome stripes. For fans of Rye, I recommend giving it a look.

[@spresc2180]

[@blankman6626]

Yo mate! Will that little manual core airrator you have work like a plugger also?

[@LawnTips]

Sure would!

[@TheDazza30]

What liquid feed do you recommend when trying to encourage tif turf Bermuda to spread?

[@xccude]

Would you be able to do an episode on how to edge with a line trimmer? Or is that kinda silly, like might as well mow with a pair of scissors haha

[@dentsolutionsnz563]

Hi mate great vids . Where do I get a plug tool from please ?

[@LawnTips]

Swardman makes them. This was from all mower spares 👍🏽

[@mrtrumpsta369]

Hey mate just after some advise. We have 2 golden retrievers and kids and looking at putting about 60m2 out the back and 50m2 of turf out the front. Just wondering how would tiftuf cope with dogs? I haven't seen many people with it and if they do they don't have dogs or know how it will go. I've been recommended Kikuyu as best for bigger dogs and kids but I like the feel of couch grass haha. Basically don't want to spend the extra coin on tiftuf if it's not fit for the purpose. No bore on the house but has full sun.

[@rois1986]

Hey mate - I am now installing pop up sprinkers on my tif tuf and its a NIGHTMARE trying to cut into... any tips? I feel like i need a saw!!

[@shaunjarrads1991]

If you could suggest a type of grass for Australian conditions (South Australia in particular) that's kid and dog friendly. What lawn would you suggest? I personally want a Santa Ana Couch.

[@LawnTips]

That would be perfect mate, Santa Anna suits your climate well

[@jasperirving007]

why did it take so long for the mini golf course to even out? ... you were away from home for some time, I can see it in certain parts of the green carpet.

[@LawnTips]

Because I had oversowed with Bent and Ryegrass and unfortunately it damaged the green quite a bit. I really should have sprayed it out at the start of spring instead of near the start of summer.

[@Reyas]

What are those first two tools at the start?

[@LawnTips]

One was my landscape blade and the other was a blade edger 👍🏽

[@Reyas]

@@LawnTips So are they tools you can buy from Bunnings or have you made/modified them yourself?

[@kapilsachdeva3961]

Where do I get this pluger or whatever it is called?

[@briandeyette5071]

Hey mate when are those bare spots going to fill in on the green? Just asking because I’ve been following for a while. The rest of the lawn is fire though.

[@LawnTips]

Some of the spots actually filled in this week 🤙🏼 the fert and regular mowing is helping a lot. Some warmer night temps has been very welcome as well! I should have never oversowed with bent and rye on this patch though. As soon as I sprayed it out it was so thin

[@chevron916]

You going to stick with the Tiff Tuff through winter, or are you going to seed Bent grass again?

[@LawnTips]

Stick with it this year. Want the green to have a good start to next season 👍🏽

[@chevron916]

Good call. Need to catch up to Brenton 😂

[@anthonyb8208]

Has the plugger got a real product name and where to buy them? Thanks mate.

[@danielzgela1396]

Would love to know aswell.

[@diarmuid858]

On the golf course we use an octagonal one. It’s a way better job because you can build them together in a pattern with no spaces

[@redmounsey4192]

When to and when to not catch clippings? in my novice opinion, would have thought to mow and fling the clippings everywhere.

[@LawnTips]

If you are only taking the top off with the clipping no need to let them stay on the lawn. They aren’t really going to reshoot from those areas. They might help keep some moisture there though and some nutrients though. We have plenty of rain this week so not really a big need 👍🏽

[@supernom]

Might just get 100% coverage before its time to overseed it again LOL

[@LawnTips]

Not overseeding this year. I don’t like what it did to the TifTuf haha. I should have sprayed it out earlier to be honest.

I’m actually right handed but do a few things left handed which is weird 😂

[@MrGlk]

Why has this died off so much? You just cut it back in last video on the green.

[@LawnTips]

It’s because of the bent and rye that was oversowed in it. I sprayed that out and the TifTuf was patchy underneath because unfortunately the bent seemed to suppress the TifTuf.

[@michaelkuhne2705]

That’s quite a bit of time consuming and tedious work; I think it would be better to just go buy some strips of sod to lay down instead

I enjoy the process 😉
