First Aussie 😁. John, the truth is you don’t have the time for a green, takes a lot of work everyday. Nuke it and put something in more manageable and enjoy your time as it seems to becoming a hassle. 😎
Love the channel Lawncology! Here are some tips that could help! 1. For your rotary mower - get the Oregon high lift mulching blade. Really does a great job at mincing the clippings and sucking the blades up high for cutting 2. To prevent fungus issues without costly sprays: mix mycorrhizal fungi spores with your grass seed before you seed the lawn. The mycorrhizal fungi keeps the harmful fungis at bay and is *great* for the grass. Think of it like yogurt for your lawn's gut health or fungal pre-emergent. Fantastic and cheap! 3. Bro - you've obviously got the money - get the Allet Stirling with all the attachments. You can aerate, scarify, dethatch, verticut and mow with one system.
Thanks for your honest analysis of maintaining short cut turf. It's so appealing to look at on all these lawn RUclipsr's channels, but the average homeowner can underestimate how much time, energy and money is needed to maintain it. One bit of constructive feedback: Your videos are sometimes a bit dark without enough brightness. It looks like your camera's auto brightness settings are kicking in. I recommend either going with manual brightness and setting it at a bit higher setting or maybe try a different camera if you have one available.
I shoot in S-Log 3 and run a custom LUT followed by a contrast filter that darkens it intentionally. I like the pop more than anything. Call it “artist taste”
@Lawncology I wouldn't feel disheartened. The green is fantastic thick and lush. Tbh I feel the issue is in the mower, HudsonStar is a fantastic machine but the weight just isn't there to get a true height of cut each mow, allowing for the elongation of runners and leaf blades to lay over. I'd give a another cylinder mower a go for a month also that has twice or thriple the weight of the HudsonStar before making all those changes.
Having had some wild bent grass, I can attest to not letting it get too long. Anything above 2 inches as a turf grass and it would shade itself out so bad that cutting it off would leave nothing but brown
Love your channel man. Brian H at Hudson turned me on to you when I spoke to him yday. Curious - where are you located? What seed do you have (or recommend) on your green? What about your normal yard? What HOC do you keep your green/yard at typically? Thanks man! Great stuff.
JP, are the challenges primarily to develop a great putting surface or just short cut grass. The putting surface piece of it seems to take things to a much different level….thoughts?
Yes and… maintaining a kbg lawn at half inch or 3/4 of an inch is not very difficult. I say that, but it still means you have to be mowing it nearly every day. Taking your mowing height down is more challenging than people tend to think. But I would say once you cross that 1 inch threshold your time is going to be dramatically eaten up by your grass.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if you add 5/8 of an inch of sand to the lawn every year for 10 years, is the lawn going to be 6 inches taller? Methinks no however I don't know how much of that height actually stays😮
When you say golf course height, what are you referring to? 1/2” fairways? 2” rough? I would almost guarantee you aren’t keeping your turf at this height, no one is.

I feel your pain. I have been dealing with hydrochloric soil on my green this year. It's a learning curve for sure.
It’s like the grass wants you to fail.
very important - good grass seeds
cutting height 4-5 mm

They use the Hudson Star on professional golf courses so its not the mower that is the issue.

Yes
It looks dope thou man keep up the good work🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have you thought about using a spike aerator? Gives you an emulated solid tine experience without the invasiveness (and mess) of core.
Yes, and I will if I end up getting to layered or organic. No need for it yet. I manually spiked some spots for my seed
