[@calebevans8437]

Your old man is a legend I bet he cant wait to get his house built so he can put you to work out on the lawn aswell 👍 that zoysia is coming in so well since you started mowing it

[@theaussielawn]

Yeah I think your right Caleb plus it gives me lots more content too . Yeah the zoysia is on fire hey 😍

[@Biscuitabuse]

Yet again with the great content, not surprising but always fascinating how much dead material a good grooming lifts out of the couch. And wow that zoysia is really moving along!! Looking great 🙂

[@theaussielawn]

Cheers mate, yeah its nuts how much crap comes out from depths haha

[@DanCounihan]

Great to see more grooming videos appearing.

[@theaussielawn]

[@musc258]

Looks beautiful mate, keen to see that zosia grow in. Make sure you keep us update.

[@theaussielawn]

Will definitely keep u guys posted. I really want that toro greensmaster on it by end of summer

[@thehomelawnaficionado]

I definitely need to invest in groomer sometime in the near future for my Wintergreen. It definitely will benefit from a regular grooming.

[@theaussielawn]

Yeah its defs will mate

[@thomashegarty6625]

Glad to see you back in full swing, your lawn is seriously ridiculous it's almost too good , keep up the brilliant work I'll be watching 🍻

[@theaussielawn]

Hi Tom, yeah it’s looking really good atm I’m super happy with it . Really awesome to have you following along 🤙😎

[@SBRenos]

Loved seeing the old Scott Bonnar’s being put to use 👌

[@theaussielawn]

Can’t be without them. I actually have a 20” twin in the shed im thinking at some stage I might rebuild it with the Aussie lawn colours and logos

[@SBRenos]

@@theaussielawn The would be an excellent build and a great winter project..

[@theaussielawn]

@@SBRenos It has crossed my mind. Maybe next winter got a few things I need to do this winter

[@supernom]

hey buddy this was such a great video! lawns looking amazing ! still the best lawn youtuber out there!!!!!

[@theaussielawn]

Thank you, way too kind haha but not sure I’m the best lawn KZbinr 😳😂🤙

[@lvond555]

Front yard looking mint! I was hoping to see the Tiff Eagle as well. I guess there is next time. Zoysia is coming in strong!

[@theaussielawn]

Will do an eagle update soon mate . Thanks for tuning in Luke 🤙

[@typedbyben]

Another banger, I am really taken back by how quickly that zoysia has established. Really looks like it is enjoying it's new environment. Interested to hear your perspective on worm castings- prevention, mitigation, etc. Maybe that could be a 2022 video.......... Not that I am begging, but I sort of am.

[@theaussielawn]

Haha touch wood I don’t have a super bad issue with worms / worm castings, there is a chemical you can apply I vaguely remember Ben Sims used it at his old place. The issue is words are part of a healthy soil . But totally understand the worm castings can be annoying on a lawn

[@philgardiner445]

Just found your channel and as a lawn "tragic" I am loving it! I have been binge watching anything that has reference to buffalo lawns and picked up some fantastic tips. If you are ever looking for content ideas one on mower maintenance would be great (apologies if you have already done a episode on this ) especially the issue of the merit (or not) of sharpening rotary blades.

[@theaussielawn]

Welcome Phil glad you found the channel. Ive done a little on mower maintenance not so much on the blades But on that point in a nut shell I dont endorse sharpening Swing back blades just chuck them out every 12months but bar blades are ok to give little tickle up

[@jamesnolan5047]

Fresh buddy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Cheers bro 😎

[@tewaarathon215]

Thanks Wolfgang!

[@theaussielawn]

I’ll pass it on to him mate

[@grimesy36]

Looking fantastic. Got an update on the cursed front yard area?

[@theaussielawn]

Will be turfing next weekend mate so vid very soon.

[@paulthomas3782]

Hi Brenton your front yard is looking amazing the groom sure did make a difference to the cut. Great to see your Dad helping out hope his home is coming along well. The Zoysia is powering along. On a different note hope you can help me my neighbour asked me to identify a weed in his grass which I thought was winter grass which we have tried several chemicals including Poa Check over several applications but it is thriving. It is light green in colour and grows best in shaded areas but also full sun and hasn't died off at all now its summer here in Bundaberg daily temps 30+ humidity 70-80%. It also grows about 4X as fast as the Zoysia couch do you have any ideas?

[@theaussielawn]

Thanks mate really appreciate the message and the like. Dad and I had a good time making that vid the house is progressing well so will be some content there when the time comes . Re the mystery weed it Defs won’t be poa based on climate and time of year. It’s too hard to tell by this description unfortunately mate

[@camdaniels3750]

everytime i let the old man near the 45 i cant get him off it, front is looking mint mate

[@theaussielawn]

Thanks Cam haha dad was a little worried he’d hit something and damage the reel on camera 😂 but yeah all good and no mowers where harmed in the making of this vid

[@dcautomotivebathurst3264]

Awesome channel and great content, where did you source the grooming reel? Thanks

[@theaussielawn]

Hi mate thanks for the message, the fella I ordered my grooming reel from is unfortunately no longer with us however if you try reel solutions or old time parts they will be able to assist you they are both on Facebook

[@rickhawke6447]

Hi Brenton, I just found your channel. Do you still do them. If so, can you give me info on purchasing grooming reel and brace bar. Cheers.

[@theaussielawn]

Hi mate, I didnt make the grooming reel, the fella I ordered it from isn't with us anymore unfortunately, but there are a few people out there making grooming reels and bracing bars, A quick google search will unearth a few options

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

That Zoysia 😍

[@theaussielawn]

It’s on the March now bro 😎

[@TreesnakeTV]

Nice vid 👍🏻

[@theaussielawn]

Cheers for that

[@davidstokes8441]

Brenton, I have a pair of Sir Walter Buff lawns, now into their third/fourth year. One is very spongy and deep. I tried scalping and 2 mows a week at 20mm but the surface just kept getting higher and spongier. I saw your advice against scarifying Sir Walter. Would a machine like the Scott=Bonnar be more appropriate to bring this delinquent under control. I live on the western edge of the Barossa Valley in SA

[@theaussielawn]

Hi mate did you see my recent video on sir Walter renovations

[@davidstokes8441]

[@nickoadams8056]

Hey mate awesome video always a good watch and i learn something new everytime. Lawn is looking mint 👌. Quick question about the zoysia is that algae/mould in the corner if so what is the best way to treat/prevent it? Would love a video about it. Keep up the good work.

[@theaussielawn]

Hey Nicko, Good spotting bro, that is algae, It's caused by excessive moisture/ poor drainage You can apply Mancozeb if it becomes out of control

[@supersonic249]

Do you recommend the groomer cartridge for regular dethatching over a verti cutter or the spring tine dethatcher? I'm trying to decide what to get for my swardman that can regularly dethatch it without causing damage.

[@theaussielawn]

It depends on your grass type but for warm season grasses Im not sure the "spring" type cartridges are going to be suitable, Id say go the vertical cutter head

[@supersonic249]

@@theaussielawn lucky I ordered the verti cutter! How often would you verti cut the lawn?

[@jasontran4648]

Hi mate, i ve been watching ur videos for a while, n i find them very nice and useful:) Now i have my sprinkler control box broken, ganna change a new one. Wondering what brand and model u recommended?

[@theaussielawn]

Hey Jason thanks for tuning in. Do you mean your irritation controller has broken? If so I reckon Hunter is hard to beat. Esp the hydrawise ones

[@vk2him]

Hey Brenton great vid - should I vertical cut/groom a Buffalo lawn, obviously not as low as couch? Thanks and keep the videos coming

[@theaussielawn]

Hi Ian, No I don't recommend vertical cutting grooming buffalo lawns. They really are two different beasts when it comes that sorta stuff

[@craigwerner4616]

Hi Brenton Ur lawns are looking fantastic I just wanna ask I bought a supaswift lawn slasher are they any good to do Reno's with

[@theaussielawn]

Hi Craig, I think Ben from Lawntips has a supaswift and from memory he added a lower height setting by drilling an extra hole on the height settings and had quite a successful scalp from it

[@mickdemi6]

Zosia starting to really spread getting 1inch a week ? Front looks great after verticut/groom

[@theaussielawn]

Hi Michael, Yeah I recon its moving bout an inch a week. I'm so keen to have it all filled in hey

[@andyk8322]

Not sure if you’ve mentioned it but how often should you groom Groom groom baby

[@theaussielawn]

IT really depends its not a one size fits all answer unfortunately mate. but roughly every 4-6 weeks as an approximate one size fits all answer

[@alexsallery]

New to your channel mate, looks so good, what products do you use on your couch? Which brand wetter, kelp, humics, iron etc? Cheers mate

[@theaussielawn]

Hi Alex. I use products from The Plant Doctor there is a link and discount code in the description. They have all the products you list. The only variation is I rotate between Hydrolink advance and the Plant Doctors soil wetter.

[@jasongarbutt4242]

Looking good mate. Hope your staying safe

[@theaussielawn]

Cheers Jase, Same to you guys

[@MH3GL]

As an American superintendent, I gotta ask: How old is that mower???

[@theaussielawn]

the design dates back to the late 60's the actual production ran through till early 2000's the entire Scott Bonnar / Rover 45 plans where sold off to the South African mower Company "Protea" where they are still manufactured today and imported back here under the protea name with minor improvements / changes
