Fixing the Brown Spots In My Lawn // TifTuf Couch Update

[@sameo88]

Should build a little jetty out into the dam and maybe one little grass bank but keeping natural definitely looks great

[@surfsup004]

TifTuf establishes insanely quick. I laid mine in a cold Canberra early March and it was still enough time for it to fully establish before first frost in April. Absolutely mental. PS: Get some water plants for the dam too - spruce it up a bit. But yeah otherwise leave the surrounds they look mad.

[@PedalPilgrim]

I'm in Canberra too but got my TifTuf down a bit later in early-April. Was not pretty by end of Winter, but has established and greened up nicely now. Had me worried for a while! Hopefully it will fair better this Winter.

[@surfsup004]

@@PedalPilgrim Word of warning is that she will be smashed every winter. My go to is to start setting height of cut higher as the temps drop. Then in spring I either do a full on renno or just give her a scalp down to dirt and a top dress and she comes back nicely. Canberra has a ton of lawn grub, African black beetle, and scarab beetle too so you'll want to make sure you've treated your lawn a couple of weeks before scalping it and again afterwards to make sure it heals properly. The Yates branded stuff is the go, steer clear of the rich and grow stuff - I used it this year out of desperation and low and behold my lawn is still recovering from renno 8 weeks later.

coming alone nicely you are a absolute work horse

[@klausfreudling2373]

just love what you doing. Amazing work man !!!! Greets from Bavaria =)

[@zachary8033]

The native grasses along the pond look nice all the way around

[@tils75]

The pond does look good, I do like a wall near the green, a run off area if you come up short

[@scottrdare]

Natural around the pond!

[@hikking.with.harrison]

Coming along nicely mate.

[@minzahhh1]

Started feeding my lawn every 2 weeks like you do and its absolutely booming rn .....that once or twice a year rule aint right

[@stubbiecap]

Silver perch are algae eaters mate so they'll be stoked and well fed... a long chain dragged through the dam from each side might help get rid of some of that plant that's choking the dam give the fish some swim space... personally I think the rougher and more native you leave surrounds of the dam the better...I'd be adding to it. No trees they'll cause leaks. But some grevilleas banksias or something bring some colour into the sea of green 👍🏿

[@blzt3206]

Lil timelapse action of that beast filling in would be wicked!

[@calebevans8437]

Looking good mate and i reckon that new catch phase at the start might really take off... the yo mate what up welcome to another lawn tip vid 😂😂😂😂

[@cameron2640]

Throw a couple of handfuls of dry cat food into the dam. It’s floats on the surface and and you can see the fish come to the surface and eat it. That’s how we feed our silver perch in our dam. They love it.

[@kevinhamling1963]

Everything is really looking good. Dump question: What is the name of the sand. What would I ask for at the garden supplies. Thanks for another great video, I do appreciate all the work you do to get these videos out. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.

[@lukesticklen6955]

The Silver Perch will be fine probably would recommend a water fountain in the dam for oxidation.

[@RaditzAus]

Yo mate when you eventually replace the lenses in those sunnies do yourself a favour and grab the light brown lense and enjoy the unreal green colours you see on the lawns

[@owbeer]

damn, that rooted down so fast.

[@Jspec1983]

I think you should aerate the dam with a small fountain :)

[@alexmarshall2212]

Hey Ben, using your GDD calculator on the LawnJournal app and it spits out very different numbers to the Syngenta one. Is there any reason for this? I’m using the 10° base temp because I have warm season grass

[@donovannewton9507]

So I just laid my new TifTuf law last Thursday, I have approximately 128^2m and I’m thinking I need to order a bunch of stuff now. Do you bundle these items together on the website?

[@LawnTips]

I do have a few bundles set up on there mate! lawntips.net/bundles/

[@MartinBugtrup]

You should put a solar fountain ⛲ in the middle. Will help to get some airflow in the dam and keep some ducks 🦆 away

[@alexsallery]

Could you apply a granular phos if you had no liquid kelp for root development?

[@SmartAceHole82]

call that turf Jada pinkert smith, because it's completely rooted down.

[@leonliu4154]

what is the best time during the year to lay down tiftuf for QLD

[@javiervigil2511]

Ben, I sent you back the design for the bunkers, sorry it took so long. Let ne know your thoughts.

[@irock4312]

Hey I have the vitalize 5L bottle. is it normal for it to Swell up? its kept in a cool dark place.

[@GR19611]

Frogs in the Dam is a sign that all is well.

[@thesugarlipslove]

how careful do you need to be spraying around the aquatic areas?

[@damodoesall6240]

when did you get fluffy schnitty?

[@LawnTips]

About 3 months ago now I think

[@shaunray6660]

Time to bring out that spray boom on the back of ya ride on

[@LawnTips]

Definitely wasn’t going to use a mower on there today. The tyres would have sunk!

[@damodoesall6240]

The bullrushes will take over !!

[@mrcaffein]

Get some worms and cast a line, you'll find out if they're in there :p.

[@keneagle7684]

I must be blind. This video is the first time I have noticed the power lines. 🤔

[@lyndonmaher]

Get a fountain for the dam. Launch it !!

[@mince07]

Maybe just some fish flakes thrown in the dam may bring them up?

[@troyhelbers]

I think you should get rid of the reeds. They take over the dam and make it impossible to get into and use the dam

[@stephendubos169]

How best to do this though

[@jordanmorrissy665]

grab a fishing rod for the kids and try catch one and you will find out!

[@TheOverlandGolfer]

You have some BOT infestation in your comments. Too bad your Lawn Tips Mix can’t take care of that problem lol

[@LawnTips]

I have to delete them every upload. Frustrating!

[@javiervigil2511]

The crappy part is that this man will always look like a grapst just by being accused. It doesn't matter if he was aquited.

[@Striperman]

Dam, everything looks amazing 👍🏻💚🦸🏻‍♂

[@lawndingo7656]

I am not a Bot….
