Yomate, Waddup. Just wanna say I love your videos. These patch up jobs are very helpful. Im in a rental property so don't want to spend alot of $$$ but still want a respectable lawn. Thanks for your advice , keep up the good work. Your bloody awesome

[@LawnRight]

Serves you right for going away for a couple of weeks! ha ha

[@ryancrane2179]

You inspired me to rip up about 20m2 of whatever crap was growing in my yard. I tilled it levelled it and put down some wintergreen couch turf. It looks amazing and I never thought I could do something like that by myself. Thanks a lot for the advice and the inspiration. My wife and kids love the New green space!

[@LawnTips]

Awesome man!! Love that!

First, welcome back Ben, again great content.

Thanks legend 🤙🏼

[@themowingmentor]

Nice Vid mate 😎 It'll be interesting to see how that Hortico brand of soil goes for you. We've found it dries out much quicker than the more expensive brands (even from bunnings) and becomes very compacted much quicker than it should 😅 Nursery Premium Garden Soil bags aren't too bad for amount of wood chip inside etc and have found them to work the best for small fix ups 👍 Cheers mate 😀

Have you looked at creeping rye? There is 2 here by pgg and barenbrug. I have rye in the back and doing a full reno in autumn. Not sure to go dark or creeping rye

[@MrKOC666]

Nice line from the sumi soaker bro 👌👌

[@byrny111]

I oversowed with sand with ryegrass about 2 months ago and watered 5 times a day. Its not grown and bare. I have irrigationb(mprotars) have i done something wrong? Should i have mixed sand with something else. My local has mushroom compost

[@LawnTips]

Hey mate, Did you have pre-emergent down? Or how hot has it been?

[@byrny111]

No pre its been decent here in vic but like you it has cooled down. Is it recommended to grow grass in straight sand? Can seed maybe come through in autumn or is it kinda dead and need to throw more seed? Im not sure if grass seed can stay dormant in the ground and grow months later.

[@byrny111]

Does anyone know the answer to- this?

[@LawnTips]

@@byrny111 you’ll need to put more sand down man. You can grow it in straight sand for sure, just requires more water.

[@jacksonattwood2509]

Sand doesn't hold water as well. I mix sand with organic mix. It is certainly challenging to get a good coverage when seeing rye. I runs mix with Kentucky Bluegrass to deepen the color

[@comarin2329]

Hi Ben! Loving the content! Keep the vids coming champ! I have couch, in past vids I've seen you use sand as a topdressing agent. Is sand ideal for couch oversowing? Cheers

[@seansmidwestlawn8991]

Ben, have you thought about putting some paver stones in the area between the houses at the top of the green... where you keep your trash cans? Might help give the area a more finished look... like a patio for your trash bins 😂😂

[@LawnTips]

Haha I have actually. Just need to do it 😂

[@jamesryper9112]

Another very entertaining vid mate. Cheeers. I’ve got a problem though. My lawn looks good and healthy from afar, but underneath its going yellow and tufts pull out very easy. Ever since I top dressed a few months ago it seems to have deteriorated. Any advice. It’s kikuyu. Could it be too much water? Watering schedule is 15mm twice a week, early morning.

[@TheKazzarry]

You would put this video out, a day after I over seeded, looks like I went a bit heavy with my top dressing... Fingers crossed it all works out! Whoopsie!

[@LawnTips]

Should be fine! No need to worry 👌🏽

[@jasperirving007]

you are back !!!! it's summer and I want to see that green carpet, and the neighbor's how is it going ?

[@aidanmackie2041]

Ben, I loved the vid man, You should sell your tiftuf runners for like 5-10 dollars and just put 5 or 6 runners in a sandwhich bag and then add some peat moss and dampen it and then sell it like that, cause I would defo buy one I love your lawn and supporting you

[@LawnTips]

Haha, technically it’s not legal because TifTuf can’t be shared like that.

[@oi_lawson]

It’s a registered grass so...yeah.

Dethatched lawn 2 weeks ago, lawn has bounced back quite nicely, aerating lawn this coming Friday, should I throw down some fert? If so, which fert would you recommend?

[@harrisonrutledge5]

Yes. Depending on where you’re located, something like ammonium sulfate would be just fine, a 21-0-0. Thinking you’re in a warmer area if aerating this coming Friday. Only want to do that with active growth. If I were in a cooler area, calcium nitrate CaNO3 would be a better choice.

Go for it man, honestly you can use whatever suits, but if you want something to get it to kick back, get a higher N fert 👍🏽

[@Michael_Zink]

Great vid mate. Ben, why would you not put fertiliser on wet grass if you water it in right away anyway? Thanks

[@LawnTips]

If you are very quick at watering it you’ll be fine. The prill just bursts and can burn because there isn’t enough water there to dilute the Nitrogen

Thanks for vids mate and also for the coolers, fert i just received. Q; How did u deal with the summer grass you were getting, i have a huge problem with these types of weeds and similar.

You can over fertilise for sure. During the growing season I wouldn’t fert anymore than every 8-10 weeks. Go by the recommended rate on the fertiliser bags as well. Some grass types take a little less or more, bit generally that’s the amount I stick to as a base.
