🌱 Meet the Team - Tim 🌱

We recently asked Jason Hodges: "Myth or Fact - Does Tim have a twin?"

You'll have to watch the video below for his answer (we're staying out of the salary negotiations!).

The truth is, Tim just works that hard. One minute he's mowing, the next he's harvesting, spraying or preparing paddocks. We often joke that he's in two places at once.

Tim grew up on a cattle farm near Kimbriki and has spent almost three decades in horticulture, including 23 years managing bowling greens, golf courses and sports fields.

Today he's our resident greenkeeper, qualified spray technician and all-round turf perfectionist, helping keep our paddocks in top condition so our turf leaves the farm looking its best.

Outside of work you'll usually find him playing lawn bowls, having a round of golf, or practising on the TifTuf putting green he built at home.

When we asked Tim what he enjoys most about working at Buchanan Turf, his answer was simple: "Being outdoors and having good people to work with."

We feel pretty lucky to have him on the team💚

Think it's too late to lay turf? Think again!

In over 50 years of turf farming, Brent says this is the latest into June he's ever had to keep mowing. And if we're still mowing - that means the grass is still growing.

The warm conditions we've had this season mean lawns are continuing to establish and grow well, making now a great time to lay turf

Winter can be a great time to lay turf - but it does depend on the variety.

We often hear people say they'll wait until spring before installing a new lawn, but winter has some surprising advantages like lower water requirements and less heat stress.

That said, not all turf varieties behave the same way in winter.
In the past, we have carried out our own trials with Zoysia varieties, including Sir Grange and Zoysia Australis. While the turf survived the colder conditions, we found it didn't establish roots effectively over winter. Because of this, we won't be recommending or selling these varieties during the colder months.

Sir Walter DNA Certified, TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda and Eureka Kikuyu, however, will all continue to establish through winter conditions - it just takes a little longer than it would during the warmer months.
Your lawn may not green up as quickly as it would in summer, but with the right variety, roots will continue developing and be ready to take off when the warmer weather arrives.

So, if you're thinking about a new lawn this year, don't write off winter just yet!

"It's winter, I can stop watering... right?"
Not necessarily. Here's what Jason Hodges recommends:

🌱 FUN FACT FRIDAY 🌱

Have you been seeing this w**d pop up around your place lately?
Well, did you know that purslane aka pig w**d (Portulaca oleracea) is actually completely edible?

It's considered a highly nutritious "superfood", and every part of the plant can be eaten - including the leaves, stems, flowers and even the seeds. Apparently, it tastes similar to lettuce with a slightly tangy flavour... although we still probably wouldn't recommend harvesting your lawn w**ds for dinner 😅

If purslane has popped up in your lawn, the best way to remove small amounts is by chipping it out by hand.

The good news? Purslane generally only takes hold in sparse or thin lawns. A thick, healthy lawn is your best defence. Regular mowing encourages lateral growth, helping your lawn spread and thicken naturally so w**ds have less room to establish.

If there's too much to remove manually, a herbicide such as Bow & Arrow can be used on established lawns.⚠️ Just remember: never spray newly laid turf, as herbicides can damage immature grass.
