    As someone who lives in New England, and probably just mowed the lawn for the last time this year, I love that I get to keep the lawn season going by watching Lawn Tips (ya know, since he's in a completely different hemisphere).

    Tanks.....Go for the ones that have the best warranty, or talk to the Polly Pipe and Pump businesses around the place. They'll let you know which one's they have no issues with. Lawn coming along very nice young fella.

    Do you have to water that topdress in after you apply it?
    Also I've got some bare spots in my Kik lawn, can I topdress them sections to promote the Kik to run and creep in?
    Cheers mate 🙌🏻

    • @stevencoates5285

      Maybe mix about a handful of seed in for each gallon of sand and then throwing it over the bare spots

    Bushman's poly tanks are excellent tanks. Most cost effective tanks per L of water are the 22500l or 5000 gallon. Or there big aqua line steel tanks are also good

    Yeah; we're getting loads of rain and snow down to 200m here in Tassie with day temps at 16. I have to time it just right to cut.
    Either the pgr (ethephon) or the cool temps is making the grass grow slow; but it's too wet anyway for a trim and a reseed.

    Hey legend, your place is epic. Love watching your bi-weekly videos! I’ve just laid TifTuf however it’s now pretty uneven as the lawn and soil underneath is settling. Lots of bumps and undulations. When can I do my first top dress to bring the levels up? Located in Brisbane. Cheers!

      I’d recommend around 25-30mm if you can. Better to go a bit taller when it’s repairing

    Hey bro,
    Been a sub for a while now.
    What are the chances of having you come to my property to have a look and give me some advice?
    I’m really after some professional advice, as opposed to the handymen we have had take care of the place over the years.
    We are in NSW. I believe only an hour or two from where you live.

    I Gota use a flat shovel to do my edging and use a 20$ blower from China lol.
    The best tool in my arsenal is my push mower. But I get it down but in 20 years I'll feel it without using these man made machines.
