Interested in the predator scarifier, was the standard scarifier reel used for this one or did you have the stainless verti/grooming reel in?
Hello do you know if they still sell dropzone ? I can't find it anywhere I used anti alk last year and the pH has just gone back up
Can we have a winter update on these plots?
Awesome review, thanks Emma! What size would you recommend for a lawn ~ 160-170sqm?
Oh yeah!
Such great machines these fairway mowers. They are a pleasure to work on :) p.s the leak detection doesnt work on our mowers; had a big hydraulic leak once; and dont let the knives air dry => they will rust a bit
I have exact same conditions and want to see part 2 of the video. Its not showing up. Also, how can i reach you guys?
How is this stand of turgrass doing now? Update please. Thank you.
I’m new to lawns and your channel, so have probably missed it. Can you please do a video, or tell me where to find it ,on when to use pre emergents in South Australia on kikuyu.I overseed with rye in autumn. I believe pre emergents stop all seed from growing, so how long do I need to give it after seeding to put down PEs? Do PEs affect kikuyu growing back after a spring Reno? If so, how long do I have to wait to put down a PE after the spring Reno?What is the best time to put down PGRs too. A lot here, but a response for a novice would be greatly appreciated.
Zzzzz zzzzz 😂👍🏽
I seen in your aerial shot of the yard for this video, behind the fence the turf has light and dark greens in some patches. I’ve got similar issues. Maybe a talk on why this could be would and how to amend. Thanks.
great purchase, i love this mower! i work twice a week with to mow the fairways, when the reels are sharpened it s a pleasure to work with and makes so nice strips!! have fun with and enjoy
Any updates on how the shaded area of the tahoma 31 is going ?
I have a Toro Reelmaster 5610. The problem with it is that it raises the cutting decks sometimes and sometimes it won't lower. And sometimes it is completely dead on the lever. Does anyone know what I should be looking for?
Do you know how high grass it can cut?
You use it for the fairway height :)
@@JODO027 Yeah. I know. But can it cut higher grass than on fairways?
I think so
“It’s the Pat Carrigan” hahaha brilliant
crispy
Is it possible to do a Video/Videos on soil testing? How to test to see what is deficient in your soil so you know what to target with products. Beyond PH testing which we can all do. Is there a place to send off sample of our soils to be tested etc? That would be a great insight into how to take our lawns to the next level.
Can you please do a video on changing the scarifier to the grooming reel on the predator Scarifier HD 18″ with 7.5HP Engine LS460 IF ITS NOT TO MUCH TROUBLE
What height are you keeping the blue?
I think it’s around 18mm there. I did have it at 10-12mm for a while but looked better once I brought the height up.
Well done, have a nice break from lawn care
Hey Emma, not sure if you have this issue and can do a vid on it but I have Wintergreen Couch, which grows really well except in a few location around the house where it is shaded out by the roof line during winter, gets to summer and the warmer months and just as it starts to fill in the shade returns any advice on what I can do, other than using concrete, may be laying some T31 in these areas hoping it will hang on better through winter and will blend with the couch or is there other something else you might suggest? Keep the great content coming.
I like the blue couch content. It was really good to see you working with what you had rather than just ripping it up and putting brand new turf in. I've got blue couch and no one else really mentions it. I love mine, so soft and it stripes up a treat this time of year now that i'm mowing a bit higher. Maybe it's just a Queensland thing. Pretty keen to see how the Zoysia goes.... I enjoy you doing it the hard way
Agreed. I’ve asked some questions on a few other lawn channels and none of the blokes down south know anything about the Qld Blue so it’s good to have someone doing it
Hello, just finished watching all your vids. Would like to know how adjusting you PH when, how long did it take, are you still checking it.
Hey there 👋🏼 Thanks for watching! I applied Lime at spring renovation but you can also apply now. There’s usually a set amount that is recommended depending on what your pH is. Mine actually needs re-testing so I’ll do that again in August. Spring is usually the best time as you can add amendments as part of your renovation and therefore get results in a short space of time and enjoy the benefits for the remainder of the season
Bouncing back nicely. Still plenty of warmth in the soil. The couch reno i did on my customers lawn in Lake Macquarie is bouncing back nicely as well. I did it in the first week on April and topdressed. Do you get frosts at your property?
No, we don’t thankfully. About an hour or so west of us does though. I’ll continue with the liquids and it should be back nicely before Winter
Lawns looking great emma. Have you watched turfgrass epistemology on CZcams? He's been reading through some scientific papers on potassium in soils, it's pretty interesting whats being said.
No, I haven’t. I’ve actually only just started getting back into CZcams myself as a viewer (I probably shouldn’t admit that), but I’ll definitely have a look when I next get a chance to sit down and watch something 😅
So cool! I love this mower. Want to have one too! 😅
Yeah, I’m pretty excited to get it sorted out and onto the lawn. Injectors have been replaced but that hasn’t sorted the issue unfortunately.
Yeah they are really nice machines and they handle great. You can easily mow a whole day without getting tired :)
What rate do you use the vitalnova at per 100 square metere?
I use the lower end of the rate. So about 250-300mL/100m2
i agree you don’t have to top dress every time should only do it as you said to fix levels
Thanks for the video. I am in Toowoomba and just 2 weeks ago did my second lawn aeration of the summer growing season. I am only a newbie to learning about lawn care after renovating and repairing and helping my Kikuyu lawn recover after it was about 70% destroyed by lawn army grub, black beetle and scarab beetle. I also just granular fertilized on the weekend just gone, and with perfect timing, I got it completed right before it rained (only about 5mm but it was still good timing). So this fertilizing and aeration should get the lawn through winter now. Also, just curious where you got the Billy Goat aerator from. My local hire shops here in Toowoomba only have the Blue Bird rotary aerators and they are very awkward to use. Would like to try out the Billy Goat if I could access one for a reasonable hire price.
The torrential rain events that you mentioned are a result of our evil and corrupt governments doing cloud seeding into the atmosphere via Chem Trails.
i done this slug today too 😀
Aggressive lawn maintenance activities need 4-6 weeks to recover. March 20 was the autumn equinox, the date after which the nights become longer than the days. Hopefully you’ll get enough sunlight hours for it to recover before the cool weather sets in.
She's closer to the equator, so less effect .
Hello guys?? Girls, like you are also lawn loonies like us guys. How about hello all.
When I say guys, I’m referring to everyone. Good point though! 😊💚
Chill velcro mate, it ain't that big of a deal.
Did you get a new scarifier? Or that the Ryan? I just renovated 3000 meters of Tiftuf just before the rain hit. We got 250ml so my fingers are crossed it will come back nicely as i also topdressed. Love the video. More quality content. Looking forward to see how it looks in a few weeks.
Yeah, I bought this one as a demo/hire model as I sell the Predators. I really like it. Going to grab a grooming reel for it soon too. Still got the Ryan. He was used and abused in the hire game this season so probably due for a new reel this spring.
100% my lawn has grown like crazy this season, even PGR did not help much. Only got a small section reset before the cold starts to kick in. Will leave the rest for a scalp in spring. Now wish I had zoysia to just have an easier time of it.
Every time I mow the back paddock it’s like a half a days work because the growth is out of control….but we’ve got to wait for it to dry out after the rain so there’s nothing you can do except watch it grow. Carpet grass for days 😅
Is it supposed to look like that 3:38 it looks like a pack of dogs have all come to shit on your lawn all at once ? Yep, 4:09 looks like dog turds .
Hahaha can you believe they all go to the toilet with perfect spacings? Just the soil cores up on the surface. They’re gone now 😊
I’d never let a woman mow my lawn.
This is my first Vid watching, not doing a Deep Dive into your channel, but Maybe if you have not already done this, do a Golf Course Putting Green, because you can only go so far Mowing Lawn.
Thank you for watching - It’s definitely on the cards. I’m trialling a patch of Primo Zoysia currently with the intention of constructing a green out of it this Spring
Yes
Can’t trust the BOM. The trial plots are looking great. How is the scarifyings around the pool taking off with this weather?
Gave the plots a tidy up and a feed this week, so they should be looking good next week. The sprigs are coming along better than I thought they would to be honest.
The turf is looking great.
Thank you 💚 It has come a very long way. This is the first time I’ve been able to see the difference in the soil though, so I’m pretty chuffed 😊
I would have spayed against the front fence line first then moved in layers towards the road. Then walk away along the road to the driveway, that way you never walk on top of the area you just sprayed.
Great video, would love if you sprigged a t31 lawn!
Emma should go 1/2 with Australis vs primo see which is best
How is Celebration Bermuda called in Australia? Considering it was developed there I'm guessing it's just being called differently because I haven't heard of celebration on any Australian group.
you can even use the top material to sprig. If there's a bit of stem on it, it may root down. Just keep it damp. I did that with zoysia but only in a vase where it's easier to keep damp. But obviously, this can be done on a lawn. I have samples of Stadium, primo, laser and some other zoysias here. Stadium is very dark, but VERY prone to get fungus. A farmer told me it can't be N fertilized in the first season which is very weird to me. Lazer is very slow, but so pretty!!! Primo is a nice balance, not so fine as laser, but is dark and spread much faster and stays low under good sun and well, it will go up after a long time without mowing but only after a while. L1F/trinity is much faster to spread, but now as dark.
Yeah, I did end up planting some of the top stuff out in pots as a backup so we’ll see how that goes as well. I have read an article about Lazer and Primo. You’re right - it’s the colour and density that got me in!
@@lawncareaustralia8796 yeah, the color on primo is impressive! And it was the fastest to take the bucket haha. Actually, second place. L1F was a bit faster. But it does have that grayish that most zoysias have. Except by Stadium and Lazer. Stadium is darker, very dark stuff. But idk it grows taller and I just overfertilized it and got fungus. It didn't do good here. Lazer is insanely pretty and soft, but just as insanely slow. Very low thatch though. Now, the weird is that by the end of last year (our winter), Lazer had the same coverage and had much less thatch than all other cultivars. Just weird. But again, Primo is a very nice balance. And during the growing season, primo was the greenest. The guy that gave me those samples said primo is his favorite. Pretty much need a low mow with a reel mower to look good I guess. Stuff grows very short. All that said, I quit the idea of sprigging the side lawn with zoysia. That was the plan here. Instead I went with Platinun te paspalum from a single plug another friend send me. Crazy, but this stuff is reasonably shade tolerant in my experience. And grows so much faster. I still prefer the look of a fine bladed zoysia all day, but its just too slow. I will try it in the back though. If you have Seashore paspalum available, get some to try. Very interesting stuff. Fast and drought tolerant like bermuda, but actually has some shade tolerance. Haha. Front was plugged with T31 and shit is not shade tolerant at all! Not in my short experience lol and it looked terrible in the winter even though I'm in South Florida. We had a lot of overcast weather in this winter though. Stuff just needs light. Zoysia and paspalum had no issues.
Great, video!! Can you possibly make a video of how you Pull start all your devices? (Cold Start) with original sound without music?? would be nice... :-)
Pullstart Video Please... ;-)
Turns out lush zoysia in pots are a great meal for armyworms. Don't forget your accelapryn because grubs are active again right now.
Good tip!! I just put down some Acelepryn and Ronstar over the weekend. Don’t want to make things any harder than they need to be
