Just received a bit of interesting info from Terry Sellick at the Lawn Doctor Turf Farm.
“I am harvesting slabs today. I finished my cut area which is now all bare sand. My tractor temp was rising. I finished that harvest area and have now moved to a new area which is covered in grass to harvest. My tractor temp has now returned to the normal mid range. Natural Turf Grass really does cool! It’s 44degrees outside in Gingin right now!”
There it is! In a nutshell, even vehicles respond to the cooler temperatures of natural turf!

Wetting agents and Soil moisture retainers are essential for keeping your lawns and gardens alive now the heat is in. We highly recommend the Aquaforce/Biagra combo pack. These can be attained from your local TGAWA turf farm or Nutrien Water shops.
Seriously great products that have a high coverage and also save water. They assist in your soil holding the water at the root zone of your lawn where it is up taken by the plant as needed.
By using these products you will keep your lawn green, and cooling, during the dreaded heat periods.
We all know the benefit of a healthy, green lawn in this weather, for our families, our pets, local wildlife and birds, cooling effect, and relaxation after a hard days work.
Now is the time to get your soils wetted, and then again at the end of January, or early February 2025.
These products work. And they last. We want you to benefit from your lawns rather than give in to a dead lawn that serves to only heat the area around your house more!
It’s worth a try!

Of the the many benefits of natural grass, we reckon just sitting on it, connecting with the planet, relaxing or contemplating life could be the best yet!
