You just gotta embrace it at some point. Those folks think you’re weird for cutting 3-4 times a week or more, but then they marvel at the “finished product” and wonder how you got it that way. 🤷‍♂️

Lol yr neighbours are good letting u take over partof their front lawn

if you're wondering why you've just burned hours watching a man mow grass, it's not the grass. ITS THE PASSION!!!!

I’m glad I’m not the only ones who edges and whipper snips

You said “it’s starting to creep into the cooler months” I was like “it’s late winter and early spring!” Then I realised you live in Australia.

That fart was epic 😂

Love your videos! Keep up the great work! Lawn looks AMAZING.

Another couple of months and the putting green should be looking stellar.

Just mowed my lawn. Thanks for the motivation.

Cut grass is a fresh... fresh smell! I love it! That rye is looking really noice!

The speed looks good on the green. I would have thought you would have to get a greens roller to get it to roll like that at 6mm.

Man I'm invested in that grass... And I'm not even in the same state...

you are fascinating to watch, i've never met anyone more passionate about grass. Im obsessed with your videos n I hate mowing the lawn. Also if you happen to see this, what's the difference if I collect the grass in the mower vs blowing it out to the side, which is better for my lawn?

Ben.....so much info today......so it's better to bring the height up for winter? - I'm still at 4mm and I'm still tweaking low and high spots...but Auckland is still up around 24 - 26 daytime and mid to high teens at night so still have some growth....I'll start with the liquid fert tomorrow.....Thanks again for all of your info today...I've learnt alot.

Mowmaster in WA sell height bars, just like that.

have just finished setting up the front yard and marked out a section for the new lawn. Is it too late to look at seeding a couch (bermuda) grass in Canberra? If not - where would you recommend getting the seeds from? Love the videos, so many good bits of information in there.

How do you rate your edger? Considering buying the same one, only thing is it looks somewhat cheap. Has yours held up well? Love to see a review video on it 👌🏼

Mate the lawn is looking sexy as, please please please make sure to do a vid on getting those weeds, good putting YEAH BOY!

Damn thats some nice grass. Hows your Brothers lawn looking?

What do you think the green would be running on the stimpmeter? 11’s, 12’s?

What do you think it would read on a stimp meter right now?

I'm a greenkeeper mate, just to touch on a few things, looks like you've got a bit of dry patch on there, and a nutrient deficiency nothing to do with the HoC, you need some wetting agents in there and some more nutrients if you want to maintain them sort of heights, i've seen myself go out and cut from 10mm down to 6mm and its only yellowed off for a day and came back with nutrients in 2 days. Also, looks like you need more lateral growth, get some products to induce lateral growth not vertical growth and give it a verticutt and you should be well on your way to maintaining them heights, plently of wetting agents on them dry patched areas though!

@LawnTips

I’m also a greenkeeper. 1. Not dry patch 2. I use wetting agents on it 3. If you’ve seen it come back in 2 days must be bent or it’s optimal temps for Bermuda 4. Too late in the season for a verticut, it’s quite cold here, nights are down below 10 degrees C 5. Again it’s not dry patch.

@@LawnTips 8:35 looks hella like dry patch! i beg to differ but if not thats some serious nutrient deficiency so i hold my hands up if im wrong! Nice one! If its not dry patch which is awfully hard to tell on camera even by eye its nutrient deficiency so my bad, i'd bet if you probed it for moisture with a meter it would be around 12-13% though, would be an interesting test to see what its at. You can verticut or scarify any time with the right cocktails do it all the time never stopped us in 20 years. I've seen it, lack of nutrients like i said but it may of picked up if you've fed it. Again, you've got too much vertical growth i can see on the camera the greens bare on the close up even on your new videos top dressing just wont do it, get some lateral growth going and your ball will roll better and you can mow lower even in winter 7mm-8mm is fine, roll will pickup when you get some lateral growth on it aswell. Hope it comes good! nice to see the progress!

Glen S I’ve done a few videos since this you may like to watch. Not sure where you live, but here this grass is about to go dormant so there will be no growth at all and it will go brown. You might not have experienced that before. It’s 100% not dry patch. But anyway, all good, definitely hard to tell on camera. Thanks for watching mate, hope all is well. I’m also aware of everything you are saying with Height. I was a super at my golf course. 👍🏼 Not anymore because I’m doing this as my job now.

Nah mate never experienced true dormancy always get around 1mm a week in winters here fair one , i was a super for 10 years but now im just a grunt, its less stressfull and easier after being in the game as long, but im more into growing veg now haha than lawncare, the passion is dying out after being in the game this long anyway good project to keep an eye on! hope it comes good cheers.

Looks great. Building a green myself.. This Bermuda grass? What type of Bermuda works best for putting green?

Did you have a proeta mower if so how do you like it..im look for a new mower have a new masport not a fan my rover 44 heaps better.. you lawn is pretty sweet

G day

Do you bin your grass clipping or compost? If you compost, there's a couple of videos in it!

How well does the Ryegrass hold up in hot temperatures? Is that a Bermuda turf, TifTuf, with overseed Ryegrass for cool season green color? You said the golf course green was bent grass with Poa Anna. I assume the Poa is an invader?

What do you do about ants?? I’ve got an rc airfield I keep cut in the summer but it’s in an open grass field and the ants have invaded so bad it’s almost unusable

What are those red flowers at your front door?

Yo Ben! Nearly 60K Boy! Quick question, will bare spots in couch (maybe 60cm across) still grow in this time of year following an application of pre emergent (Embargo)? Or would something like propyzamide be better in terms of less root pruning? desperately trying to achieve 100% coverage by winter but the wintergrass pressure last year was the worst so I'm straddling the fence right now!

Where did you get that edger? It's getting warmer in the US, and I want to start working on the yard, but mine isn't doing much.

Joe Quattro From what I gather in my watching, it’s affordability that pushes Ben to the older mowers. The Swardman was a demo he had to return. He said in a recent video the Swardman, while not really suitable for mowing a putting green, was a great mower, but it was a demo and due to be returned.
