Ran outta fuel in the greens mower thats a box of beer for the boys aha

11:24 how's those ducks sneaking away in the back of the shot 😂😂😂

So glad you're dealing with cooler weather so we can warm up here in the States.

Hey mate, get a Swan decoy and sit it between your dam and green. It will stop the ducks.

I just herd my old man’s voice in my head “don’t fuel up on the grass”😂

Green is looking mint🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Seems like yesterday when you had your tiny putting area out the front of your house, now you have a full par 3. Amazing. Loving the series

So fun to see you transition to winter as I transition to spring, good stuff bro

Amazing have followed this! Must be great feeling to have done this yourself in your property!

I am really looking forward to when you get the tees & fairways done! That green is looking beautiful!!

Oh man, we were missing the "What up mate, welcome to another Lawn Tips Vid" on this one :(

@LAWNTIPS when I worked part time at a golf course growing up trimming bunkers, washing and charging carts, etc... the greens keeper would drag a long garden hose from the back of a golf cart. he would circle the greens a couple times and the hose would knock the dew off effortlessly.

Amazing series this, loving every bit of it. Keep it up Ben😍

Looking great mate! Our football club uses laser lights at night to keep the ducks off the pitch

Sorry Ben can’t make it to the meet & greet. Hope you and Brenton have fun(I’m so sad I can’t make it) Hope plenty of people come!

Im watching you put the 46-0-0 down and Im wondering if those areas will grow twice as fast as the green itself.. but then again you're going in at a low rate.. I put 46-0-0 in with 20 litres ona fine mist for a little extra "oomph" but Ive not done any sppon feeding as such.. loving the series keep up the good work

I also use urea, number one into a watering can, fill it with water and spread on the lawn. Does a good job and freeeee!

Keen to meet up with you and BK at Greenlife!

Nice Ben Sims. 👍👍👍

Surely you build a bentgrass nursery for times like this

Ben - are ya planning on mixing grass seed with sand for those divots? Great Vlog!!

What grass do you recommend for the tee box? Building a grass range to hit into a big net on my acreage in Perth. Can't decide between a couch or Kikuyu!

If your temps are getting to the point where you're having frost, you might be better off to go with Ammonium Sulfate rather than Urea as it is supposed to work better in cooler temps. Green is looking mint though and that damage will fill back in as soon as you have some nice weather.

Have you tried putting an owl or hawk decoy out? That works for helping to keep birds away

Curious with this now, yeah you’ve got dew and frost on the green, temps are cooler so why not wait till the green has dried off rather than mowing it wet?

Looking at your turn technique of disengaging the clutch. Its much easier to throttle down coming to your turn and not disengaging the clutch for the turn Use the big red throttle lever to slow down for your hook turn, pretty sure its design is for that reason.If the throttle lever is too stiff it can be adjusted underneath .

Bro it's cold as hell here in the bay of plenty NZ low of 6 tonight.. bring back summer I reckon but not the one we had this year😂😂

Put some coyote decoys out around the green facing in the direction the ducks come in from. They’re just aluminum cut outs of coyotes. Cheap and effective.

How good does a full shed of John deer equipment look!

Ever think about a predator decoy to help keep the ducks away? Don't know what that might be in your area, but a lot of people use owl decoys around me.

What colour nozzles are you running Ben?

Hi, Have you thought about investing in a front brush for your JD 220 mower? i have them on my greens mowers and they are a game changer, cutting at 4mm and greens are stimping at 10ft, the brush is called Sports Metals Extra Cut Brush.

Hey ben how’s the grass at front of ur house going.

Is it to thing to have like a pool cover over an area of grass over night? Create like a greenhouse for over night throughout the winter? I have no idea just came to my head

When will the Golf course be ready ??😁

I think its hilarious @11:25 if you look in the background...the ducks are just taunting you now! HAHA

Lessons learnt! Make sure you have a full tank before mowing, and then never fill on the grass!!!

Hows the drainage going man? Would be interested in some footage of the run offs pushing water out during a rain event

Hi Ben, my neighbour has some summer grass, crab grass if you like, come up where i top dressed over his property boundary. It's slowing down atm in Qld, if i spray it out now, do you think that i will have a better chance of killing it all off ? It's in our blue couch & can you only kill it with dsma, or is there something else on the market. Thanks in advance. 😊

Number 1 rule of lawn club is you don't refuel on the lawn!

Get a scare cannon for the ducks. The neighbours will love it and you lessen your risk of an exotic disease from handling their turds. Win-win.

Hey Ben, any recommendations on how to get rid of ants mounds growing in my yard? and any weed killers that aren't harmful to dogs?

Would you apply urea to newly (2-3weeks) germinated bent that isn’t really growing?

I’m sure others have asked, but I don’t scan the comments, what do you do with all the grass clippings?

Could you use the heat mats to spread up recovery of the plugs ?

What height are you mowing at now?

Should cut a sun line in the trees so you get more sunlight in them areas

In the formative stages while the green was first growing, would it have been advantageous to leave clippings on as a source of fertilizer? Since we know clippings don’t cause thatch, would it have helped with organic matter you wanted to develop within the sand base, and then collect clippings once the green was getting ready to play?

Why don’t you use ad blue instead of mixing?

Are you still doing low rates of PGR alongside the urea?

A need for an LED pin by the looks of things.....

You need to buy some duckoff for your little water hole. Ducks hate it and will stop coming to use it.

Filling a mower in the fringe 😂 sacked

Was it a leak or a spill? I didn't understand.

Why in the bare spots or plugs do u not over seed?

With the John Deere you are not supposed to pull the banks back to stop it. You just release the bale on the back with your hands and it stops

Do you ever get ants ruining the lawn? My lawn has heaps and heaps this year and looks a complete muddy mess 😢

How low to you go for 10 on the stimp meter and other speeds? How fat off are you? 🙏🏻

Incoming comment from the Lawn Rebel re fuel spillage.

Wtf is the dog doing while these ducks are bombing the green every morning lmao send him down to earn his keep haha

43rd 🙌🏼

Social Experiment.. lol

I had to watch it twice because he didn't say the cute intro.

FIRST

Loving this content Ben. A small irritation. Can you please stop using the American word “poop”. It’s either “poo” or “shit”. For example “I’m sick of the ducks shitting on my green” or “I wish the ducks would stop pooing on the green”. Small thing I know but “pooping” makes me feel like I’m watching an American sitcom

You should have a game with @ronchopper
