Well no time for me to sulk with my nose pressed up against the glass cos I been super tied up with work. Great to check back in however. An update on my March laid turf which is on the south side of a 2 storey home, I was surprised by a couple of things.
Firstly, It didn't brown off over winter as I have been led to believe and witnessed as well. Don't know whether that was because it might have been a warmer winter. There appeared to be a little greying of the thatch in some not so robust turf mats, but other than that held up super well
Secondly I haven't had the mower on it since late May or Early June and it is just now starting to send out some creepers around the edges. I have had some winter weeds that I have spent the winter picking out by hand
Pleasantly surprised on both counts ....but am now ready to get it cracking for its second season. looking forward to mid to late October to get it knocked down and top dressed with sand to smooth it out some more
Will post some pics as I go through the process.
