In todays video we start at the posh job with an early scarify to try to get on top of our weed grass issue which we knew would come back so its time to get the scarifier out. Also we check in at Steves job and former BBL to see the results of our micro renovations.

[@alanmorrison470]

Great video. I’m interested to see how you get in dealing with weed grass on such a massive area. I doubt you’ll be digging it out so perhaps you’ll have to learn to tolerate it. I think only deep scarification knocks it back or removal complete by digging g it out.

How do you handle bits of POA you find here and there? I'm trying to keep on top of mine best I can by taking it out when I come across it (to stop spread), but the bare spots left behind can look a bit unsightly. Is it best to remove as you go, or just keep it mowed low and deal with it on next renovation? Cheers - belting videos by the way.
