You can scalp it almost right down to the ground yes, but only during the growing months of spring and summer. Bermuda/couch has underground runners to help it repair from. If you are unsure, best to contact your local turf supplier who can provide some specific advice for your variety and climate.
Depends what sort or fertilizer you're using. If liquid, then every 6-8 weeks is generally correct, if a slow-release granular, then per the video, typically 3 times a year is correct.
Hey guys quick question… I have recently installed some Nullarbor Couch 8 weeks ago, it’s growing very well but pretty bumpy… is it risky to scalp a new lawn to level it with top soil/sand?
Hi Anthony, it depends where you are located and how well it has established so far. If you are further north and it's fully established now and growing quickly, you can take it lower now and do a light topdress. Just don't go too hard, so not too low and not too thick with the top dress. For some specific info for your location it's also probably best to touch base with the turf supplier for their local advice relating to the current climate.
Thanks for the video! May I ask a side question? Which herbicide should I use on my QLD bluecouch to get rid of clovers, pls? I heard Bluecouch is sensitive about most herbicide?
Most broadleaf herbicides like bin die or herbicides containing dicamba are safe on qld blue, but yes it is sensitive. Make sure you stick to the label rates or just under and dont over apply. You might notice some discolouration, but it will recover.
Thanks Joe.
This is a very simple to understand presentation, Much appreciated,, on a Job Well Done.
Cheers 👍🏻🕶🍻
It helped, this is what I was looking for
Great video, thanks !
Thanks mate
Bought that spreader from bunnings stopped working on the second day
Awesome video. Quick question, I have a lot of visual runners on my Bermuda, can I still scalp it to dirt or will they ruin the grass?? Cheers.

303rd.... Thanks
Should you only fert them 3 times a year then? Sep, Dec and April
Or do it every 6-8 weeks all year round?
Thanks
