Grooming My Lawn // Mid Season Dethatch 

For a small lawn, would a rack work

Paused video after my shout out 🤙🤙 good to have the yo mate what up after all these months 😂😂 now back to the video👍

Mate loving the extra editing level-up, cheers for the upload as always! Kik looking mint!

Maaate, dying to see the TifTuf make a come back.

Thanks for the video!! It's winter time and I am going through lawn withdrawal .

Lovely job Ben. The groomer worked so well and when you cut it looked manicured and flat. Winter in Scotland and like others having withdrawal Lol

Perfect timing with this video, Ben! Having a few of these issues with my kikuyu. Very well played!

Perfect timing with this video, You put the video out just when I was watching RU-vid videos.

It wasn’t just for Caleb, we all missed hearing that ☺️

Love seeing the golf green progress but how i've missed a good Kikuyu update video😃👌

Neglected lawn last cut on Saturday

just just put premo down this week on fwys but before that we had to cut all the fwys two times a week for 2 weeks since there was to much going on at the time

Lawn is looking great!

Looks good considering the neglect. So excited for the green to get underway but after all that stuff is settled you plan to do cool season in that center island with all the trees? The warm season is really interesting to me bc I cant grow it, well ik a couple zoysia yards but there only green for like 3 months here. I'm Cool season would love to see the killer combo of KBG and Rye 50/50 planted in there bet u could make it look so good, ofc with all the trees you'd probably want irrigation tho

I love your videos keep up the good work❤❤

Morning all

do a video on all your lawn mowers that you own, seems like you got a mower for every purpose!

Nice content mate love a good kikuyu lawn, love my protea that bad boy looks like some serious piece of machinery. Just did full Reno on my kikuyu out back last week after one week it’s bounced back great, warm weather and soil temps were to tempting for me to rip in. Bit off topic mate what were u using on the old rye to give the old poa the flick, is poa check safe on rye I can’t vaguely remember u doin a vid when u were a young fella😂

Interesting to see liquid fert application directly after a mow. I usually give my lawn a few hours to recover after mowing, is that not necessary?

Benny boi 🤙🏼😎

Gee - I can ONLY wish to get a lawn like that - Tall Fescue here at Kelso is dead :( (I need to dethatch and aerate - needing to find someone in Bathurst for that)

Nice one. Why does a groomer not have the same effect as a scarifier when it also has fixed solid blades and even more of them compared to a scarifier?

Yo Ben, what up. Love the videos mate. I’m in Katoomba, do you think the kikuyu will do ok up here? Possibly more frosts than orange and more mild summer, but not that different? Got a beautiful RFT lawn but tempted to start again 😂

Is the whitening of the leaf blade tip a sign that the lawn needs a fert? Referring to buffalo here. I thought it whitened normally due to heat stress or very hot days, coz once it’s been watered a bit, it becomes very green in my experience.

Kuyu baby Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Yeah booooiiiiiiiiiiiii! Lets Gooooooooooooooooooo

That Protea looks a handful to manage on the slope with the smooth rear drums. Are the blades on the reel worn from use or is that how they come, and would it work better if they had sharper "points" on them?

Enjoy the time off bro

Yo mate, What up!

Wonderful its amazing

can you lightly groom palmetto buffalo to remove some of the thickness without having to scalp?

Hey mate!! I love your videos!! I was inspired to put down Kikuyu turf in my backyard after looking at your recent vids. We have a clay soil base which I cultivated and treated with gypsum and claybreaker/wetting agent hose on spray before laying . I also mixed in compost and 3 cubes of new topsoil to improve quality/drainage etc. 60m2 yard. Turf is now 12 weeks old. I watered 2-3 x daily for the first few weeks and only 1-2 x weekly once it had been established. Unfortunately part of the lawn is not growing and has begun to yellow and die (gets plenty of sun) - the rest of the lawn is lush green. Thinking this might be kikuyu yellows due to excessive moisture and clay base? Any advice on how to fix this? Love from the Central Coast!!

Temps getting up to high 30’s over here in WA, this something that should be done in lower temp or low 30s at least?

Are these Dethatching Groomer machine you use is for sale to US residents?

Great vid Ben! Do you think a grooming reel would work well on a Scotty 46 Scarifier? Or better off fitting one to a cylinder mower for better height adjustment?

Yo mate what up… are you planning to extend the area you reel mow out the front of the house further?

From a West Coast lawn addict you are correct. That is a grooming reel, and what you guys call scarifier, we call a vetimower. You east coast lawnnaddicts will learn the correct terminology eventually 🤣🤣

Hey mate. How often should you apply PGR and would you recommend adding in with these 4 other products?

Hey mate would a power rake attachment on a small electric scarifier do a similar job? Having a lot of those issues myself

Hi I’m also about to do a mid season dethatch. And I also have a dirt strip where i recently just pulled up some concrete what kikuyu seed do suggest to use? And would you suggest to over seed kikuyu if it’s abit patchy ?

Do you know if I can use those products with ICL Stressbuster and blade or do they do the same?... I am following the Lawn Fanatics Total Dominance Program and wondering if these can give it a kick if mixed with the products already used. Grass looks amazing. My couch and COX could sure use the groomer

I would like to get the Verticutter attachment for my Allett so that I could do that this season

Hey mate Been following the lawn plan out the back and is going really well. (Kik) The front, small area around 20m2 is struggling, lawn feels crunchy and is starting to thatch, it’s not spreading well and the colour is terrible. Do you reccomend cutting it right down? (Rotary)

A cyclone dethatching rake achieve the same thing?

Would you have still done this under PGR? Cheers

Where do you get your backpack sprayer?

What attachment and nozzle do you use on the Solo Sprayer?

How far below current HOC do you set the groomer?

Would this work for a thatched buffalo?

NO, in WA thats a grooming reel, a vertimowing reel is further apart, thick and made to go way deeper for full renovations.

First Aussie 😁

Awesome videos mate! Pity you're a scouser 😄

Lawn daddy

Is that a commercial atom edger or the domestic version.

Hey Ben, Looking at your summer/autumn mix, can I use it on freshly seeded grass? Tall fescue/Kentucky blue mix. Almost 2 months old, by the time itll go down.

Is this an attachment you would recommend for ryegrass or a scarifier is preferred? Or do they basically do the same thing?

Thank god you went back to lawn tips. Golf course tips Meh. Had enough. Golf is for nerds and yuppies.
