    the making those lines come up
  • 00:02:19
    beautifully I'm still at 8 mil I've
  • 00:02:22
    decided against the uh pting green idea
  • 00:02:25
    and I'm just going to keep it at this
  • 00:02:27
    length because I like the look of it
  • 00:02:30
    done putting greens plenty of times
  • 00:02:31
    before um it's a lot more involved all
  • 00:02:34
    right let's put down this uh mixture of
  • 00:02:37
    uh moist hero history and uh get that
  • 00:02:42
    down and then put our Four Seasons down
  • 00:02:45
    perfect app to start off December and
  • 00:02:47
    get your lawn in great condition for
  • 00:02:50
    those Christmas holidays woohoo it's
  • 00:02:52
    looking so good not me the lawn let's
  • 00:02:56
    take a look at the product
  • 00:02:58
    here so yeah moist that's a soil weather
  • 00:03:02
    and uh that works three ways it gets the
  • 00:03:04
    water into the soil it keeps it at the
  • 00:03:06
    soil and evenly distributes throughout
  • 00:03:08
    the whole area very vital with the
  • 00:03:11
    summer months coming up also hero that's
  • 00:03:14
    a humic acid it's the best humic acid
  • 00:03:16
    you can get on the market it's in liquid
  • 00:03:18
    form it goes straight in it'll help the
  • 00:03:23
    it'll help the ground hold on to
  • 00:03:24
    nutrients better and uh also start some
  • 00:03:28
    microbial activity to keep the soil
  • 00:03:31
    healthy history that's for black beetle
  • 00:03:33
    only and that is a fantastic lava side
  • 00:03:37
    basically how it works is it will kill
  • 00:03:39
    the laa so a question I quite often get
  • 00:03:41
    is I've used history I haven't seen the
  • 00:03:43
    black beetles come up it works on the
  • 00:03:44
    lava that's what's eating your lawn so
  • 00:03:47
    if you use that every 3 months that'll
  • 00:03:49
    break the cycle and it's a perfect time
  • 00:03:51
    of year to use it right now now I have
  • 00:03:53
    included this in my uh application cuz I
  • 00:03:55
    did this in my October Renault uh
  • 00:03:58
    Spartan herbicide so pre-emergent
  • 00:04:00
    herbicide to stop grassy weeds coming
  • 00:04:03
    out and uh if you haven't done so
  • 00:04:06
    already you can do that
  • 00:04:07
    now okay Four Seasons Australia's most
  • 00:04:11
    popular and best fertilizer granula for
  • 00:04:15
    lawn it's a
  • 00:04:18
    bit it's all bit shiny the packet cool
  • 00:04:22
    thing about the packet is you can see
  • 00:04:23
    the uh see the side of it and see the
  • 00:04:26
    grains of it show it to you here it's
  • 00:04:30
    all really fine
  • 00:04:33
    grains totally hit the wrong button
  • 00:04:35
    there so Four Seasons That's a dual
  • 00:04:38
    control release nitrogen and
  • 00:04:40
    potassium also with iron to give you
  • 00:04:42
    that dark deep green color so the thing
  • 00:04:45
    about the cember is if you don't do any
  • 00:04:47
    apps in December and look you want your
  • 00:04:49
    December lawn your Christmas lawn
  • 00:04:51
    looking great uh if you're going to do
  • 00:04:53
    one app this is the app to do and this
  • 00:04:55
    is now when to do it and whatever type
  • 00:04:58
    of lawn you got it'll really look a
  • 00:05:00
    whole lot better come come Christmas
  • 00:05:03
    time however if you really want to keep
  • 00:05:05
    up with it keep up with my program I get
  • 00:05:07
    into the liquids and using things like
  • 00:05:10
    plant growth regulator to really get
  • 00:05:12
    this low and tight and dark green and as
  • 00:05:14
    you can see it is going really well at
  • 00:05:18
    the present oh the lawn is just looking
  • 00:05:22
    great with that
  • 00:05:23
    cut I'm really pleased with
  • 00:05:25
    [Music]
  • 00:05:28
    it okay so with this application that
  • 00:05:31
    I'm going to do I've got double the
  • 00:05:32
    amount of water that I use so I go over
  • 00:05:34
    the area twice
  • 00:05:37
    basically uh it doesn't have to be super
  • 00:05:40
    even but try and get as even as you can
  • 00:05:43
    because we're going to water this in
  • 00:05:44
    anyway so all
  • 00:05:49
    [Music]
