A Good All-Round Couch Grass

A good grass for full sun areas

Nullarbor Couch Grass is classed as a warm season grass, like most grasses grown in Australia. It has been researched, evaluated and trialled for the past 20 years to deliver long-lasting performance in full sun areas.

This variety requires at least 5-6 hours of sunlight per day so is ideal for full sun areas, whereas if you are looking for a more shade tolerant variety, you may be better considering Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo Grass. For superior shade tolerance in a couch grass, check out TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda, which is also the only grass in Australia to be awarded the Smart Approved WaterMark for drought tolerance.

Maintenance

Nullarbor Couch has higher maintenance requirements than some other grass types. For example, during the summer it is best to mow Nullarbor Couch every 5-7 days to ensure it doesn’t invade where it is not wanted.

During winter, Nullarbor Couch has low dormancy – this is when the grass is in a dormant state and the plant focuses resources on the roots. Consequently, it has an early start to growth after winter, and also has rapid recovery from wear and other stresses.

It’s best to apply a Lawn Solutions Australia recommended fertiliser 2-3 times per year to maintain a dense vigorous turf sward. Nullarbor Couch has good tolerance to broadleaf herbicides for weed control.

Watering Guide

For established Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawns, less frequent and deeper soakings are recommended to encourage strong root growth. A deep water every week using a good quality sprinkler at a depth of about 150mm is usually enough.

Of course, at the first signs of the lawn drying out, you will need to water your lawn again using the deep soaking system.

"The deeper the water goes, the deeper the roots grow; and the deeper the roots, the more durable the lawn is."

Mowing

For best results, mow your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn weekly to fortnightly in the growing season. This removes any old growth and encourages new and healthy growth, keeping your lawn dense and lush.

You can mow your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn from 20mm to 50mm using all mower types.

"Prior to winter, we suggest mowing your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn a little higher than in summer."

Fertilising

Fertilise your Sir Walter lawn 3-4 times per year using a good quality NPK-based fertiliser (Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Potassium). A balanced fertiliser will give your lawn the essential nutrients it requires to keep it well maintained, healthy and looking great.

We recommend using our blend that we use on our turf farms: Health Booster Lawn & Plant Food Fertiliser.

"Give your lawn a complete feed: add other elements (micronutrients & other macro- nutrients) to your fertilising program."

Pest Control

Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is fairly equipped to handle most pest invasions. Grubs that can affect it include army grub and lawn grub. Monitor your lawn and treat at the first signs of pest damage.

We recommend using a preventive grub control such as Acelepryn GR which will give you 6 months' pest control.

"Those harmful army worm lawn grubs are generally more active in the summer and autumn months."

Weed Control

Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo turf has a tight growth habit which blocks out most weeds. Monitor your lawn for the first signs of weeds appearing and use an all-purpose weed control safe for buffalo lawns.

Alternatively you can use a pre-emergent weed control such as Oxafert, which will give you 3 months' weed control.

"We suggest not to use weed and feed products, or any products containing the chemical active Dicanda."

De-thatching & Top Dressing

De-thatching your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn is not always necessary. However, if you find your lawn becoming very spongy and thick, it is a good idea to do some de-thatching.

Top dressing is not always necessary. Sir Walter has a tight growth habit which will fill in most imperfections in the subsoil.

"If you find your lawn bumpy when mowing, try top dressing your lawn to help fill in any imperfections and make a smoother mow."
