The Goods And The Bads Of Couch Grass

In different parts of this land of Australia, you will find people having immense love with couch grass and rightly so, because this turf has some amazing characteristics that are unseen and unheard. This version has gone through evolution in the past 2 decades and during all these years, it has improved a lot and the variety too has emerged. Popular varieties include Tropical Turf Mix (80% Buffalo and 20% Couch) and Qld Blue Couch – both grown and supplied by Harden Park Lawns. Let us quickly go through some details related to couch grass.

Weeds

• When it comes to couch grass or wintergreen couch turf, the decision making is really easy.
• You will simply have to spray for all weed types in the Couch grass, as this lawn type has no known bad side effects to any commonly applied selective herbicides.

Growth

• As far as the growth of this grass is concerned, you need to keep in mind that it has a very rapid growth rate and this is actually the reason why it is so economically available.
• Sellers of buffalo turf in Sydney say that we can relatively quickly grow a new batch of Couch at almost twice the speed of other grasses.
• Moreover, this lawn variety can easily repair itself from damage.
• There are drawbacks too of this rapid growth band the first of them is that the couch grass very quickly invades the surrounding paths and garden beds.
• Therefore, lawn mowing is something that we require on a frequent basis and this is yet another thing that you will have to engage in.

Lastly, Couch lawns will build up their thatch layers very quickly and so will require vert mowing/de-thatching more often than others
