SHOW US YOUR GREAT AUSSIE LAWN - Turbocote Kikuyu, Whyalla, SA
Terence did a fantastic job with his new Turbocote Kikuyu Lawn in Whyalla, SA.
“I laid down your turbokote Kikuyu seed mid October and most areas came up 7 days later which is nice, I used your starter fertiliser also. There were a few tiny bare patches from the rain bird sprinklers pushing the seed away or from areas I missed. I rectified this by re seeding those areas. Unfortunately I can see in the pictures my mower blades need sharpening.”
