- TifTuf Bermuda Couch is a warm season lawn that goes dormant in the winter.
Mine has done very well, holding colour well right till the end of July and then I suffered a bit loosing condition by not giving it a drink over a fortnight and at the same time not putting any fertiliser or care into the lawn.

Thanks for the update, I have been following your July and August program and the results I’m getting are amazing, can’t believe how green it’s looking here in Queensland.
Matthew Sticher thank you for this comment
I have to keep remembering your seasons are the opposite of where I am.
Yep that gets me too when I speak to people. Lawnporn will be in America next year.
Very nice lawn. What is the high and low temperature in your area? What kind of fertilize do you use?
Winter lows are about 2-5 and highs can get to about 20 sometimes. I use the Lawnporn products
Seriously considering some tiftuf for the front lawn
It’s great stuff.
How do you measure your height? I've got a Bushranger 410. Lowest cut is 7mm. Highest I think is 35mm. But there's no way to know, you just turn the knob to the left and it goes lower. 🤷♂️
Flat bar with a screw. Top of the screw goes on the bottom blade. Then adjust till you get the flat bar o. The 2 rollers. Measure the distance between the screw lip and flat bar
How cold does it get down under
I live in Perth. How do I know when I can vertimow? And how do I know how deep to set the vertimower? It’s couch lawn.
Where are you located? It is very important information to judge winter performance.

So TifTuf isn’t a good winter grass for states like Victoria Australia?
How long have you had the award man for now and are you still loving it?
If you could, how frequently would you have watered your tiftuf?
I have been a bit hap hazard this winter as the irrigation controller hasn't been installed yet.
Depends on the time of year.
Spring-Summer 1-2 times a week, deeply early in the morning when the sun starts to rise.
Autumn -Winter once deeply in the morning every 7-10 days.
Post renovation is a bit different, for the first week I split up watering 4 times a day, early morn, late morn, early arvo, late arvo about 10-15mins a day for the first week, then same for week 2 but one day on then one day off, then week 3 ill go to 2-3 deep morning waterings a week and then week 4 go to my 1-2 deep morning watering a week (for my system about 1/5 hours to fill a 94g tuna can. I use soil wetter to keep my water nicely at the root zone.
How does tiftuff cope with frost?
