Well you can’t get more Australian than a wide brim hat, a Kelpie Dog, and in my mind, Blue Couch. The wide brim hat protects us from the sun, and Kelpie is of course mans best friend and the Blue Couch, well, it is everything wrapped into one.

 

By putting Grass up around your house you can cool your house by up to 5 degrees. And the couches native quality means that it is drought tolerant and hardy, so that means less time outside watering and mowing. Not exactly mans best friend, but still helpful.

So this Australia stay Cool, have a slip and slide to water your lawn (any excuse for a slip and slide I say – although one Australia day I did end up with 3 stitches in my back from a rock, so maybe safe slip and slide is way better than my “I really am still 7 not 34” style of slip and slide.), BBQ some sausages, relax on your lawn, and have a rippa of a weekend.

Gotta love a long weekend.

New Years Grass and Lawns

January 3, 2014 by

Happy New Year!

I know, I Know. I am a couple of days late, but new years eve always takes it out of you doesn’t it? The late night is enough to drain you for a day after, let alone if you have consumed a little too much liquid as well….Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! That is the golden rule, after New Years Eve parties, as well as after your lawn has been sitting in the hot sun all day. Getting tht wonderful water into your systems will mean healthier happier you and your lawn.

As I watched the sun rise over the farm this morning, while we were irrigating our paddocks (watering in the morning means that your lawn and our paddocks get a freshening cool down before the heat sets in for the day. And a lovely drink), I snapped this picture to remind myself of the Amazing new year ahead of us. The wonderful times are are set to come.

Sunrise at Coastal TurfA New Year, A New Stronger healthier paddock, A New stronger healthier happier GREENER lawn for you. And as research in Qld shows, the more green grassed areas around your home, the cooler the inside. And at the moment I think we would all enjoy a little cooler around us.
