Hi Ben, you should put the heat mats on the bear areas. Because last time you put them on your old golf green and it grew so much. Reply if you want or say if I’m wrong. Thanks Ben.
Hi Ben, I’m so jealous, that’s is an awesome job. Just a thought regarding the lake, how about some sleepers and the green running up to it, just an idea. Keep up the amazing work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoying your journey thus far, bringing back memories. Your plug and plug holes would benefit from some half mooning. That's were you use the plugger to take half pugs from plugs and healthy turf, turn the plugger half way around creating a half moon shape. Doing that will eliminate the need for reseeding of wash outs and hand water difficulties.
FYI There are new varieties of Rye and Tall Fescue out now that are Rhizomatous. Berenbrug has these new grasses that spread. Oak Hill has RTF in the rough at the PGA championship this week.
Hi Ben my lawns had a Icl sports master granular 9 7 7 feed two weeks ago after a verticut and bio boost and seaweed app , I leave it on no 5 on my Bosch rotary pretty much all season so around 1.5 to 2.0 inch (baranbrug extreme ) would you recommend I do a verticut weekly before mowing to keep stolons and Rhizones trimmed by just tickling the top of the soil after second mow of the week or wound I be better verticut ting it say 1st week of every month till July/Aug when growing slows down . Would like to have your comments on this cheers . Glenn
Great vid, definitely got some good info out of this! When it comes to grass seeds there doesn't seem to be much available when searching online. The only decent online supplier I can find seems to be McKays grass seed. Have you had any experience with their seeds at all?
Hi Ben, if i overseed patches now and frost hits ( in NZ) will the seed be damaged enough not to germinate or will it just take longer to come through? Thanks
Soooooo…. Fescue greens that need repairing in Tasmania, best to go with seeding and top dressing rather than plugging? Does plugging bare patches ‘encourage’ the growth or is that just a waste of time?
There is creeping types of fescue sorry. Creeping red is an example. Plugging would work well with a fescue green. Or even regular topdressing and spoon feeding with regular mlwing
I reseeded 2 weeks ago, some spots are covered with sand, some are covered with soil. Every spot with soil germinated nicely, none of the sanded spots germinated. The sand never became dry. I always checked before watering. What could be the reason?
I had the same issue, my thoughts were the sand was a bit thick and became quite hard with waterings whereas the soil remained loose and the seedlings pushed up through it easier, just a thought i could be wrong maybe the soil held a better heat also
Would be interesting to see the PH of your sand. It might be way out of whack. Sand is always harder though to germinate grass in, I’ve learnt that from past attempts but it’s definitely doable. Seems odd you have no germination though
Plugging as done here seems to be robbing Peter to pay Paul in a way. It would have made more sense if you had created a nursery area to donate plugs. You were dead unlucky with that washing, it's been a PITA for you the whole way hasn't it.
Just what I wanted to see, some DAMN CLEAN EDGES!! man that green looks so nice
First Aussie 😁. Ben , The Lawn Ranch is coming along nicely. 🤠
While I do love the golf course build series, I love seeing the old style of lawn tip vid!
Fantastic video again
She is looking mint dude 👌, so lush already 🔥
Great vid Ben! Very informative!
C'mon Liverpool for top 4!

Definitely can and I will once the frost starts to hit! Which will be in a few days from now

Looking great mate. Would like a short of the sprinklers going for a minute or two😅
incomparable advice as always Ben.
Kudos to you.
Original and still the best 🔥👍
Loving the videos bro! keep it up!
Nice Ben Sims👌👌👌
Great tips mate, I’ve tried many different ways of seeding, and covering it with soil or sand is a must to stop it drying out

Can you further explain? No results on google for half mooning plugs.
Very informative mate, cheers👍
Typically is there any need to run much of a fert program over the winter season with warm season grass?
FYI There are new varieties of Rye and Tall Fescue out now that are Rhizomatous. Berenbrug has these new grasses that spread. Oak Hill has RTF in the rough at the PGA championship this week.
I used to have some at home. It definitely does move sideways but it’s very very slow

What type sand do we ask for ?
Great vid, definitely got some good info out of this! When it comes to grass seeds there doesn't seem to be much available when searching online. The only decent online supplier I can find seems to be McKays grass seed. Have you had any experience with their seeds at all?
Ben have you heard/ seen creeping ryegrass that we get in the UK now? I have around 50% of it on my lawns snd it does seem to work!
Hi Ben, With established lawn, that has a few bare spots, can lay down some Urea and also SPARTAN?
Hey mate,
Spray tan will stop the bare patches filling in properly sorry. Can do some urea or liquid ferts to promote growth though 👌🏽
Hi Ben interested in your opinion. Why dont you pre germinate the seed for the repair areas?
Definitely should have done that but honestly just haven’t got around to it. Might do some more soon
Hi Ben, are you putting 100 grams of Urea per 1 liter of water? And what max rate of Urea that you can mix with 1 liter of water?
I mostly have wild onion in my lawn.. should I over-seed or plug those? ;)
I’d eat it if possible
What do you use to fill those spots where you took the plugs from?
The plugs from the bare areas
What kind of sand can be used, does it have to be horticultural sand which can be quite expensive. thanks
I’d recommend a 80-20 or 90-10 if possible. Something that isn’t too fine. Usually some washed pit sand from a landscape yard is great as well
@@LawnTips Cheers bro, YNWA.
Whats going on with the kikuyu out the front? I feel like that should be 2 foot tall since the last time you mowed it.
He showed it a few videos ago. It's fine.
Hi Ben, if i overseed patches now and frost hits ( in NZ) will the seed be damaged enough not to germinate or will it just take longer to come through?
Thanks
I’ve done it in the frost before and it stunts it quite a bit. I never saw any die off but it did take until spring for the plants to mature properly
Soooooo….

@@LawnTips lovely darts! Thanks for the info and absolutely loving the channel, looking forward to the next chapter.
Same with RPR? I mean, the rage on this grass type is that it spreads albeit slowly.
I had some rpr in a spot at home. It does move but very slowly. Would take a season for a little clump to fill out a dinner plate sized area
What happened the video with the mates who came over to play?
Didn’t take any footage sorry mate

Sand is always harder though to germinate grass in, I’ve learnt that from past attempts but it’s definitely doable. Seems odd you have no germination though
Both interesting ideas. I'll try to get the ph tested. Guess for now I have to scrape off the sand and do the bare spots with soil again.
I'm too lazy. I would just buy sod and cut out some squares lol
That also works 😂
Yuuuusssss
Plugging as done here seems to be robbing Peter to pay Paul in a way. It would have made more sense if you had created a nursery area to donate plugs. You were dead unlucky with that washing, it's been a PITA for you the whole way hasn't it.
Nursery would be great for sure.
Luckily where I took the plugs from it gets sun all day and doesn’t wash so it’s he best place to take them from.
