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

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

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 13 күн бұрын

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.

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.

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

@@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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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 8 күн бұрын

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

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.
