[@matthewb9824]

Glad to see you back online again! How does this type of lawn handle a week or so of solid rain? I used to have a Sir Walter buffalo lawn and when it rained hard for a few days, if you walked on it, it turned muddy. What’s this lawn like?

[@LawnTips]

Fine if you have good drainage. We had a week of rain a few weeks back and it was fine. But it comes down to your soil profile mostly.

[@jchunky4803]

What is the whipper snipper/ edger combo in the video please?

[@codlip8089]

Brother, that landscaping blade can you run that along the concrete edges without it affecting the blade or are you just that good you don't touch the concrete?

Curious to know what brand/make of edger you use? That head you use for the horizontal trim - can't find anything similar for the major brands.

Mouth dropped when I saw the rye. I'm shattered for you. 😲😭

[@LawnTips]

pretty devo man 😢

[@golferneal]

Love it! I'm a bit of a noob, but why is the green so much harder to look after than the rest of the lawn? It doesn't seem to be doing as well despite more TLC than the other lawn. Is it the type of grass?

[@shooshkarnt66]

Hi Ben, very topically relevant vid for me this one. Trying to close over similar patches in the same grass. I have 2 questions. 1. I should avoid PGR until I am happy with how it looks? 2. How would you change this process if the area is shaded for a few hours a day compared to your area which gets mostly full sun exposure? I live in south east Queensland if that is relevant Cheers

[@Cripplefoot]

Looks way better from the other vid

[@MrTobywoods]

Hey mate, would u overseed kikuyi as we come into winter? If so what would u reccomend? I’ve never over seeded before or have you got a video that goes into this and what types of seed to overseed with? I’m in sw wa if that impacts what to use, cheers

[@caveman5831]

I wouldn't as kikuyu is a summer grass and is dormant in winter.. all I do with my kikuyu is as soon as it getting good weather (near spring) is just mow the thing as low as my rotary mower goes which normally takes it back to dirt or close to and yeah just put some lawn grub killer on and some cheap $5 grainual lawn fertiliser from bunnings on it and in a month's time after that I use bit of weed n feed. After all that I normally just put on fertiliser every 3 months.. oh I like to give it one more fertiliser just as winter starts.. BUT thats my routine for kikuyu and all seems well considering I have rock hard clay soil..
