    OMG Ben, dunno which was funnier, Schnitty going underground in the stump hole and gettin lost, or the drip line snapping and you goin ass over head backwards?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pure gold, and mate, Schnitty is one of the best additions to your vids in years, just awesome!!!!!

    A star is born Schnitty new CZcams star.
    Given all the reel mowers you have used on your channel keen to know what you would have if you only had one to use moving forward and how Swardman Electra compares as you stopped using that relatively quickly?

    Too bad. The seasons are different in Australia. Want to see the property covered in snow. It’d be like a winter wonderland.

    The dreaded Kikuyu creepers, bain of my existence leading into and during summer...amazing how far it'll travel on its own accord, but it is super resilient grass...love the stuff, and as I live in a rental, am not going to the expense of a better quality turf/grass type...your video's are brilliant for the like of myself, cheers for all you bring us via this channel!!!!

    Ben...for your little bed under the tree...you only have to use a line trimmer to cut the Kikuyu back everytime you trim....the trimmer will keep the grass out of the bed....if a shoot does come up past the edge it will be nothing to rip it out by hand.

  • @matttradie1341
    @matttradie1341 Před 2 lety +1

    Lol mate. I just repaired patches in my lawn with that crap repair stuff and yeh. I should learn more before throwing stuff down.
    My lawn is dark green and it looks like the only seed that popped up is rye. The rest is still seed but the rye is at least 10cm in 4 days and is a very lite green.
    Now that you have said that in litterly going out today to shavel it all out before it sets in.
    I think I need to stop with the quick dollar easy fix, and do it right.
