@LAWNTIPS when I worked part time at a golf course growing up trimming bunkers, washing and charging carts, etc... the greens keeper would drag a long garden hose from the back of a golf cart. he would circle the greens a couple times and the hose would knock the dew off effortlessly.
Im watching you put the 46-0-0 down and Im wondering if those areas will grow twice as fast as the green itself.. but then again you're going in at a low rate.. I put 46-0-0 in with 20 litres ona fine mist for a little extra "oomph" but Ive not done any sppon feeding as such.. loving the series keep up the good work
If your temps are getting to the point where you're having frost, you might be better off to go with Ammonium Sulfate rather than Urea as it is supposed to work better in cooler temps. Green is looking mint though and that damage will fill back in as soon as you have some nice weather.
Put some coyote decoys out around the green facing in the direction the ducks come in from. They’re just aluminum cut outs of coyotes. Cheap and effective.
Looking at your turn technique of disengaging the clutch. Its much easier to throttle down coming to your turn and not disengaging the clutch for the turn Use the big red throttle lever to slow down for your hook turn, pretty sure its design is for that reason.If the throttle lever is too stiff it can be adjusted underneath .
Ever think about a predator decoy to help keep the ducks away? Don't know what that might be in your area, but a lot of people use owl decoys around me.
Curious with this now, yeah you’ve got dew and frost on the green, temps are cooler so why not wait till the green has dried off rather than mowing it wet?
Hi, Have you thought about investing in a front brush for your JD 220 mower? i have them on my greens mowers and they are a game changer, cutting at 4mm and greens are stimping at 10ft, the brush is called Sports Metals Extra Cut Brush.
What grass do you recommend for the tee box? Building a grass range to hit into a big net on my acreage in Perth. Can't decide between a couch or Kikuyu!
@@RaditzAus Drains work really well. We had 50mm of rain in a few hours the other week and the green was firm under foot the whole time. I'll go down and show the drains soon
Is it to thing to have like a pool cover over an area of grass over night? Create like a greenhouse for over night throughout the winter? I have no idea just came to my head
Some Fipronil would be the go mate. Weed kiilers that are selectives are fine if you keep pets off until it dries out. Some Bow and Arrow would work well. lawntips.net/product/bowandarrow/
In the formative stages while the green was first growing, would it have been advantageous to leave clippings on as a source of fertilizer? Since we know clippings don’t cause thatch, would it have helped with organic matter you wanted to develop within the sand base, and then collect clippings once the green was getting ready to play?
Hi Ben, my neighbour has some summer grass, crab grass if you like, come up where i top dressed over his property boundary. It's slowing down atm in Qld, if i spray it out now, do you think that i will have a better chance of killing it all off ? It's in our blue couch & can you only kill it with dsma, or is there something else on the market. Thanks in advance. 😊
Hey Resto Blast, Mate I know you weren’t asking me but I had the same issue. I don’t think you’ll find a product that will kill Summer Grass out of QBC. You’re better off digging it out and using a pre-emergent at the start of spring to get on top of it. Peter
You can for sure, just be very careful with the young seed and make sure to add more than just urea to help promote root growth and strengthen the plant with some P and K
Loving this content Ben. A small irritation. Can you please stop using the American word “poop”. It’s either “poo” or “shit”. For example “I’m sick of the ducks shitting on my green” or “I wish the ducks would stop pooing on the green”. Small thing I know but “pooping” makes me feel like I’m watching an American sitcom
