Japonica26 just watch the edges where the turf is yellow it might shrink a bit and expose a gap between the rolls. Its an easy fix just chuck some topsoil from around the garden into the gap and it will fill in no probs.

Its an easy fix just chuck some topsoil from around the garden into the gap and it will fill in no probs. So, it will fill in then? This is what happened in a few areas...there's a noticeable gap. Otherwise, besides the gaps, it's looking great. Just did another dose of Seasol today. It's green and lovely...

Will do... Re: Fu, anyone, ?? about Empire Zoysia turf just laid 12Apr 06, 2011 1:17 am It is things like this that is why I suggest not using EZ unless the right soil prep is done. You can't rely on turf contractors to do it properly. they are just interested in cutting costs, smashing it down on crap soil and Dynamic Lifter Underneath. I encountered this twice today. It's like when people say can I grow it in Victoria? Well do what the turf farm says and the answer is no, follow my soil prep to the letter and with no compromise on soils and you will wee it in. No fertiliser. Molasses and seasol. That is all. It will come back fine. Keep up the molasses and seasol through winter too. Rake in bentonite clay, you can bet that wasn't used. It is normal for the edges on rolls to die back on any turf after laying. Re: Fu, anyone, ?? about Empire Zoysia turf just laid 13Apr 06, 2011 4:39 pm We did all your soil prep Fu before the landscapers laid the turf...the organic compost, zeolite, spongolite, kitty litter, Olsens Greenbio (couldn't find Bactivate), buckets of Sand Remedy...then Seasol, Powerfeed and Molasses...
Betonite clay? Wasn't that in the bags of kitty litter we already put in before the turf was put down? Should we add more? Re: Fu, anyone, ?? about Empire Zoysia turf just laid 15Apr 07, 2011 1:57 am Yeah they are pretty cool No harm to the lawn. Lawns can bring out the worst in many seemingly sane people. No need to start vacuuming the lawn They will come and go Enjoy them and what they are doing I had new concrete laid, extended the alfresco and had the sidewalks concreted too. I noticed the concreter didn't put the expansion foam anywhere, there are expansion… 0 8172 They using concrete or timber sleepers? Timber or steel uprights? Any drainage behind sleeper? 3 6017 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 25133 |
