I'm in the middle of trying to rehabilitate our lawn with consistent sprinkling on all parts (well most) and it's slowly progressing and B_B you are so spot on with the rain giving a boost. It gives a break from setting up the sprinkler as well.
I've never been more happy when it rains!

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Tank water, tap water, that keeps things alive, rain makes it grow, no question about that.

A Victa Vortex with sharpened blades would be ideal for that stunning lawn.

I took this picture today of this freshly cut grass I saw done with some Briggs or Chonda powered mower.
It was around 15 -20 cm high in parts. Just look at it now. It smelled so good afterwards.

Hi MF,

Sorry, but somehow I fail to see the direct comparison between the two outcomes.

One has years of work involved while the other has 10 minutes worth attached to it.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.

G'day B_B,
I agree tenuous comparison, but since we are on the theme of lawns...

Your grass is very exceptional.
