Couch (bermuda) at 8mm - recovering with the help of the PLUGGER

- No good deed goes unpunished. My successful ryegrass oversow is still kicking the couch around. BUT, thanks to a viewer I believe there is a reason for it....allelopathy. Basically the ryegrass releases chemicals as it grows that inhibit the growth of other plants around it in an effort to survive. Resulting in the couch growing poorly. We need to wait for those chemicals to "wear off" and the couch will get going again, which I think it is slowly starting to do.
MASSIVE thanks for the information as I was feeling a bit deflated with the state of the lawn this year.
Thanks again for watching.
Look after yourself, look after each other and look after the lawn :-)

Mate I was just thinking " I wonder where that guy with the kelpie videos are at?" And here you are...
Mate never stop learning next year you willl be on top of it. Keep up the great work!
thanks mate, kicking my butt at the moment. should be looking good by the time it's winter ahaha
Semi-pro-plugger........ love it. Legend!
haha 👍 thanks for watching 👀 😄
Mate I also learnt the hard way. I prev kept my PRG in until Oct and then the Tiftuf really struggled to come out of dormancy. I now spray the rye out at end of Aug and it’s made a huge difference.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!! Glad I learnt my lesson though and able to share it will others. I've got the herbicide primed for next year haha. the winner rye was too good to not try again
Nick luv the vids and ur presentation style well done, dude luv the house and storage area out back to settle a topic between the wife and me was the house ever a police station and holding cells out back we love it, ur doing great work too cheers
Thanks Daza!! Really appreciate the kind words and glad you are enjoying the videos 👍
Yes!! that is correct, they are the original cells for the township, now keeping my mowers safe and sound 😄
Some good points youve made here. Haven’t seen it on any other channel. +1 for YBL
thanks mate 👍 has been a good learning experience for sure.
Great vid mate! I might be having the same problem with my rye and kikuyu. Nice to see the plugger back in action
I was scratching my head for sure before someone pointed it out to me. Lots of sun, lots of fert, lots of water......crappy lawn haha.
She's a beast for sure, completely forgot I had it though! should have been out weeks ago lol 😆
Just stumbled across your channel, your lawn is looking great and love the safety boots.
thanks mate, glad you found the channel 👍 I get a bit nervous when the rotary mower fires up, probably should be a bit smarter haha 😄
Loved the vid! even more so, how much air time those blue boys got!
haha that's what my wife said as well 🤣
Hopefully a bit of that warm weather gets ya a bit more coverage mate. 😉
here's hoping mate. looking better already actually
Im having the same issue with some rye in my lawn. Now I know why. Cheers.
certainly makes more sense to me now mate!!!
I was wondering why my couch wasn’t coming back (like last year, and every other year). ryegrass was ok over winter but I thought it would disappear. Thanks for your content, it’s great.
I need that plugger. Keep up your work, I look for your posts regularly.
However, Not sure about ryegrass, is not for me anymore. I’m now pinching sir Walter runners from mates places. Its doing well.
Love couch! but shade is my enemy.
Happy new year, keep up the good work
thanks for the feedback mate, comments like that really help keep me motivated 👍
I can't believe how much the rye has impacted the couch, pretty cool really, good old evolution.
There are some beautiful examples of buff lawns out there, and if you have shade issues it would certainly be the choice.
Hopefully you get it sorted and can enjoy the journey mate. Thanks and all the best, happy new years as well 😀
Enjoyed the vid, would like to know what sort of products you use on ur lawns, fertilisers, wetting agents etc
Thanks mate 👍
To be honest I use a random assortment of everything. Because I'm always having to pay postage on heavy bags or liquids, I usually buy what is on special.
In the past I have used LawnPorn liquids, LawnPride wetter and granular. I really like the soil conditioners from Plant Doctor like Humic, fulvic, stimuliser, and seaweed secrets, I go nuts on thay stuff.
This year I have been trying the Lawnhub gear, because they are priced well and the postage is very reasonable $20 for about 50kgs of stuff sent express. I just put some liquid of theirs down and I am very impressed.
Ill try and cover that I bit more in the videos because I know I skim over it a bit
