So behind all my regular weekly videos I've been busy trying to grow grass in my backyard. I filmed some bits over the past 60 days and stuck those bits together - this is for those of you that like grass.
For those not interested in soil and grass seed then I'll see you again soon with a regular upload. 👍🏼
She'll Be Right.
Cheers to ‪@LawnTips‬ for the advice. Go check 'em out.

So true. My friend bought some of the grass you see in adverts that's supposed to be quick grow, grow anywhere, perfect lawn type. The picture said to sprinkle it with gaps between each seed, don't need much. Ha! Lawn was just like this only worse to start. They ended up buying regular grass seed and tossing it in thick. Only way!
