Have been missing for a few weeks now - had some pretty serious surgery (detached retina) and that means 100% bed rest etc etc.... On the way to recovery and had a chance to do a maintenance mow at 18mm this weekend. To celebrate me getting outdoors for the first time in almost a month I thought I'd show off the twins!
The Couch is still asleep as you can see in the lower right hand side, but it's easy to fall in love with these machines when you can get stripes in Winter after not going near it for something like 6 to 8 weeks.. When you also compare the colour of mine against the others up the road, I'm very pleased for making the effort to improve the soil and do a few applications of humic, potash and phosphates before the cold set in.. I'll be doing a light top dress in 2 to 3 months and still 50/50 about needing an aerate... Will follow up that topic on the Lawn & Maintenance section when I've tweaked a few more items on the Master Plan...
Will resist a sharpen until after topdressing. Instead, I'll work on creating a backlapping motor/unit and have a motor from an HP plotter that looks to run at the right speed.
