    Can't add pics as my "FRED" will not play the game. I have loaded them on to IMLOCA web site but cant drag to post so I think I will use putta for target practise.

    Yes it should work well with nitrogen at 34. I applied some of it today to a few lawns while it sprinkled. I took some before shots and in a few weeks i'll take some after shots and post them up.

    Yep the fertiliser is good for buffalo, all lawn types actually. One bag is 20kg and covers 1,000 sqm. Costs around $60 a bag, i get it for $48. I get it from my local supplier at Castle Hill, Hills Lawn and Garden Equipment. You should be able to get it from your local produce store, otherwise from Globe or Elders.

    I turned up to one of my new customers house last week for the second time and instantly noticed 2 things. 1 The lawn was bright green not brown and dry like the first visit. 2 All the weeds were gone.. I asked the lady what she had done and she said she had started using Hydrogreen http://www.coochie.com.au/index.php They also get rid of insects and because it is liquid can be done when its hot and dry. I am going to see if I can strike a deal with the local operator to use him instead of going out in the rain fertilizing. His results were way better than what I have ever achieved and just after 1 visit. Quite impresive..

    I've recently enquired with Coochie about a franchise. Will let members know how I go in the private forum or probably via PM if anyone's interested.

    I have one lawn like that. Most likely there's a tank under that inspection cover and there'll only be a few inches of soil under the turf. When there's plenty of rain - no problem, but when the weather gets dry that's what will happen.

    Thanks mate.
    The tank is stormwater. The turf was layed in a bodgy way.
    Allot of uneven areas & hard soil.
    Not much soil there.
    Ill have to dress it with topsoil & more fertiliser....

    don't worry about more fertilizer try using a soil wetting agent as if the soil isn't deep it may have dried out and become hydrophobic in that area also top dressing to increase the soil depth
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
