I painted my lawn green for the winter

[@JBA512]

Came up looking nice. Would be interesting as an experiment to leave the nature strips unpainted to show what it would of looked like.

[@theaussielawn]

@@JBA512 I’ve got couch untreated out the back that I can reference on. I’ll do an update soon as I’ve since added a second application

[@MechanicsChoice]

Post winter the turf bounces back a lot quicker when it has had Colourguard on it over the cooler months.

[@theaussielawn]

I’ve heard this too. 😎

[@Jspec1983]

I reckon PGR a week before a mow then pigment application?

[@TAFrench-lx4jv]

Disgraceful!!!!😁😁😁😁 Only Joking! Great video!

[@theaussielawn]

Hahaha thanks mate

[@velcroman11]

So much can be wasted on the measuring jug. I now use a big syringe. It takes a little longer to measure up but squirting it straight into the sprayer means no mess, no (little) clean up.

[@theaussielawn]

Ive thought about it too mate esp for the tiny amounts some products call for , Might get some strange looks at the chemist when i go in there hunting some large syringes hahaha

[@lawnlife1]

Good stuff. I applied pigment 1 month ago. I can confirm from using it last year that you definitely need to get it on before the grass goes brown. Ps love your TifTuf sign, looks dope.

[@theaussielawn]

Hey mate how’s things ? You been a little quiet on your channel of late too. Yeah the tiftuf sign is mint! The pigment is good gear I really like it , actually gave it a top up yesterday. Now it’s next level green haha

[@lawnlife1]

@@theaussielawn Good mate. We have an 11 month old.. so ‘me’ time is very limited. I’m at home sick today but maybe this is my best chance to shoot a vid ;) I’ve done two applications this season too. Lawn has grown 1mm in 4 weeks haha. Imo it’s not cheating (especially during winter).

Naww 😌

[@peterhoz]

There's probably a lot of leftover in the (first) bottle too.

[@theaussielawn]

I definitely agree i actually didn't throw them away either i kept them incase I needed more e.g scrape the bottom of the barrel

[@KiwiLawnie]

Nice one BK! Can see a noticeable difference now between the TT and Santa Ana whereas I feel in peak season they look very similar.

[@theaussielawn]

Yeah definitely a difference now and honestly in the peak of the season all couch grasses can look indistinguishable but its during times of duress that cracks can start to appear for some varieties

[@Richorob]

Love your work mate… You guys in Scone get a lot more frosts than us (central coast) but we’ve had two this week & it’s only late June! Brrrr

[@theaussielawn]

Oh wow I didnt think the CC would frost!

[@martpierce7161]

I painted my Greg Norman zoysia for my he first time last winter with a product from Endurant. It turned out great. I’ll send it out a few pictures. Mart Rockingham NC USA

[@theaussielawn]

Im curious to know what sorta Zoysia the Greg Norman one is mate

[@martpierce7161]

I know the Patent ran out and it does not go by Greg Norman Zoyisa GN2 any longer. I will send you a few photos under a separate thread from when I painted my lawn.

[@theaussielawn]

@@martpierce7161 cheers mate

[@mini_steve]

I've been considering this, but I never really had the need until 2-3 weeks ago. It's been so cold in QLD that my lawn all of a sudden looks horrible (still best in neighbourhood, I think). I decided to just wait another 4-6 weeks and go full terminator on it for spring. Only because I still can't afford a Porsche.

[@theaussielawn]

I spoke to a mate in Toowoomba last night he was saying its been colder than usual this year so I feel for you

[@shaunray6660]

Your ground levels against all concrete is super perfect! Not that easy to achieve takes some finess and detailed work 👌

[@theaussielawn]

Its not too bad mate on a large domestic scale though I think its a good as it can be

[@peterhoz]

I've never understood walking behind a sprayer, leaving footprints etc. I always walk backwards, ensuring that I'm walking on pre-spray rather than post-spray areas. Not specific for painting, but for all spraying.

[@theaussielawn]

I understand the thought process but i look at it from a safety perspective. Walking backward with considerable weight on your back full of chemicals is far too risky in my eyes, From tripping / loosing footing and potential for physical injury to wearing said chemicals. For me it's not worth the potential gains from not walking on the sprayed area.

[@calebevans8437]

Tiff looks 👌 so green😍

[@theaussielawn]

Its held up really well cant wait to apply more colour guard 😂😎

[@rainey06au]

Very interesting! This is the only time I see adding pigment to a lawn as beneficial when it's a fertilizer blend..

[@theaussielawn]

Would you say it's cheating mate?

[@rainey06au]

@@theaussielawn not so much as cheating but an ordinary waste of time and money

[@anth1839]

Looks great mate! I still have not applied colour gaurd as the colour is holding on well but we have had a few mornings of frost in northwest sydney and its now strating to brown ever so slightly...

[@theaussielawn]

definitely best to get it down before it looses too much colour

[@mrdan4008]

Hey Brenton, you mentioned the PRS had worn out , what ballpark timeframe do you think you got out of it ? Keep up the good work mate. Cheers.

[@theaussielawn]

couple of years but my edges are very abrasive with the course sand construction. They kill lots of metal blades haha

[@mrdan4008]

@@theaussielawn Cheers mate, appreciate your help.

[@craigspicer4296]

Brenton the lawn looks great. My front tiftuf that doesn't get the lawn solutions product has lost its colour but the back where I have liquid fert applicator in the sprinkler system from lawn solutions is holding reasonable colour. I sprayed spartan preemergent for the first time and my lawn is usually has a lot of winter grass and its very night and day results. Sydney weather is very cold and wet.

[@theaussielawn]

It's been a very damp and gloomy winter here too mate. but the damp cloudy conditions have meant ive escaped the frosts so far

[@typedbyben]

kind of reminds me of blue marker dye... a single drop goes a long way

[@theaussielawn]

Definitely!

[@Philipk65]

The tiff tuff looks great with the pigment application. The santa anna needs another application though. That seems like a really good product, as a lot of green lawn dies look so artificial, this one doesn't.

[@theaussielawn]

I agree I do now have some more and will do another application on the Santa and Ill prob do a little more on the Tif as well it really is a very natural looking product

[@TAFrench-lx4jv]

Just a quick question. I raised this point a few weeks back when you did the video on late season top dress (consequently I did the same on my lawn). What does it mean for the annual scarify? Will there be less thatch because of the late top dress? Thanks, Ashley.

[@theaussielawn]

There will be less build up but you will still be able to start the spring off with a usual hard renovation.

[@JasonDenson-k5x]

Hi , keen to try this myself. Just wondering what nozzles you are using. Keep up the great content. Thanks

[@theaussielawn]

Just the standard red flat fan nozzles mate nothing fancy at all

[@chooka83]

Dumb question but can you paint buffalo?

[@theaussielawn]

No it's not a dumb question at all. You can use this product on any type of grass.

the drone confused me for a second

from the shape of that tiftuf lawn?

[@Sherwin657]

[@jasongarbutt4242]

Hey mate, really interesting video. Have been looking forward to seeing it. Frustratingly slow application but the results look good. Love to see any stains left on the concrete, thats the bit that scared me. Tiftuf looks so much better than the Santa anna. Hope your well mate.

[@theaussielawn]

I was probably being a little over cautious tbh i reckon when i top it up it all be way faster

[@LawnSolutionsAustralia]

We have done some testing into cleaning stains off hard surfaces and lemon juice concentrate removes the stains out of most surfaces including concrete really well.

[@theaussielawn]

@@LawnSolutionsAustralia I probably in hindsight should have touched on this

[@LawnSolutionsAustralia]

@@theaussielawn Trial it out after your next application, we have been shocked at how effective it is. We have stains on the production floor concrete that have been there for years and the lemon juice took it right out.

[@theaussielawn]

@@LawnSolutionsAustralia ok I will do because I did deliberately get some on the concrete (in an inconspicuous spot) to see how long it would last.
