No mowing for 12 days after PGR (Plant Growth Regulator) - No Worries
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- I applied a very low rate of PGR (Plant Growth Regulator - Trinexapac-Ethyl) and then went away for a week or so. It dramatically reduced the seed heads being produced, at a guess I'd say by 80%, and the leaf growth was minimal. Usually after 12 days without a mow it would have scalped and taken 4 or 5 big catchers of grass off. I only just filled 1 catcher this time. So, safe to say that PGR is a neat little tool to have.
Not surprisingly, the best looking part of the lawn is the lower section, that is just being cut with a Masport Rotary Mower. It looks great and holds colour much better than the shorter cut area. The short area needs a lot of love to hold that colour compared to the longer section.
Thanks again for watching. Take it easy and look after yourself :)

You ought to be proud. Beautiful patch of turf. The rotary hoc was really nice.
thanks mate 👍 it's nice to look back on some of the old footage here and see the progress, helps with the motivation 💪
The rotary section is very nice. thick and lush.
Looking good nice update
thanks mate, nearly happy with it 👍
Great result. Dont find vids repetative. Its great to see see results and hear your commentary.
thanks mate, glad the videos are OK 👍
Your videos are always great, don't stress keep doing what your doing.
thanks mate 👍 appreciate the comment, helps to know what people are thinking as well
Got to have old trusty rotary on hand at all times. Got the same one I think! Great vid
thanks mate 👍
How good are the Massey's. Bloody love mine 👍
absolute weapons. they apparently love not being serviced hahaha 🙃
Have you had the Scott Bonnar cult rock up on your doorstep with pitch forks and fire yet for your comments hahaha
Rotary section looking great
It's a Reel concern of mine 😄
Looking good mate. How often are you doing the PGR? And whats the cut height on the cylinder?
Also a video of the groomer in action would be nice.
thanks mate, this was the first application of PGR, given the lawn was being inhibited by the ryegrass it only just started growing. It will be due again in a week or so. It's being cut at 11mm at the moment, needs some food and iron to help with colour.
The groomer will.be in the nest video, very handy little tool to have, saves having to scalp it back
Great video and great looking lawn. I'd give.you two thumbs up if I could just for saying a rotary give a neat looking lawn too. A few Vids back I told you about the inhibitor that rye releases. How's the couch in those areas now?
ah mate, you're an absolute life saver! If I didn't know about the ryegrass inhibiting growth I would have had a very hard season. Knowing I just needed to ride it out was very helpful. I'm sure you can see there are still a few spots where it is filling in, and the PGR has slowed that a bit, but they are all well and truly growing again.
A massive thank you for passing on your knowledge mate. Very helpful 👌
@@YourBestLawn mate, anytime, glad to help. That's great they are filling a bit, even slowly. To be honest they didn't stand out too much so yeah it's looking great.
Yo, I wonder what if is that causes seed heads, I've seen plenty of guys complaining about tiff turf seed head.
I wonder once thier lawns get older and better tootzones if it'll stop throwing the seed heads up.
My qld blue couch doesn't seem to throw up much seed head.
I think certain grass types throw seed heads for many different reason, I have heard that Tiftuf will do it if it has too much fertiliser and others say stress or lacking nutrients. it's probably just a matter of working out what your specific patch needs. I would definitely be getting a soil test if I intended to stay here long term, I think that would solve a lot of them.
Where's a good place in SA to get soil tested mate?
Hey mate, I haven't specifically looked but I know from the Australian Lawn Fanatics Facebook page that a member Michelle Dickinson does awesome testing at great rates. I'd be going there, just post it off 👍
Looking mint mate, what height are you cutting that back section with the masport?
thanks mate 👍 I just stuck the ruler on it and it's about 22mm
@@YourBestLawn sweet thanks for that.
for simplicity it's the 3rd notch on the mower haha 😄
@@YourBestLawn yeah I do the same with my rover rotary mower. Its a good height for once a week mowing and no pgr either. My lawns are a work in progress like my SB. But I'm in your boat. Inheriting a rental property lawn that's had zero love before me. Its good fun for the soul though. Going to look at getting more tif tuf for the back lawn next year. Plenty of people going with tif tuf now so I can take their leftovers lol.
