Losh's New House Build

[losh1971]

I have the Kikuyu at my other house and am hoping this year it might spread enough to cover but it's unlikely and I'd say it will take another three years at least.
The seed that works here is bought online and is bred for frost and to germinate in days of 10 - 12deg. I believe it's what the councils use. I have looked into it a little but I think it's pretty expensive far dearer than even your Munns tall fescue which might be ok here. I'd like roll out but that's the most expensive way to go AFAIK.
At this stage I only want to pay for the posi as I don't want to rape my savings too much. I will probably explore lawn options after summer as I will be pumping too much water into it to keep seed wet until at least March.

How do you apply the molasses Fu? Is there a way of connecting a bottle to a hose and spraying it on?

Our average temperature in September is just 16 degrees. If I was in SA I'd say we would be hitting some 25s by now.

Man it would be cool being the first to paint 11's into that clean looking street then do a few doughies at cul de sac

Even better, I could slip the RD out the front and smoke the rear tyre for some fun.

⅓ molasses in a garden product hose on pack. (Seasol containers are good)
⅔ hot water. Hose on before rain. Or water in after.

I love the advice you guys give! Even though Fu Manchu’s advice as to what might work, may not work in your situation, I still appreciate the knowledge he has. I’ve been mowing grass for over 35 years albeit my own gardens, and I still know Jack Shite about grass!

Can’t talk now, game on!

The key with molasses is it’s a really cheap crude way to encourage good fungi to grow in the soil and feed the lawn for you.
