I was so hopeful yesterday that rain was about to defend upon our little farm. But No! it went around us to leave us standing there irrigating our paddocks still. And even though all our Qld Blue paddocks are getting is irrigation water, non of the amazing rain that seems to be falling elsewhere (so jealous of you people and lawns and farms who are getting the rain) and it is going strong Emerald green and beautiful.

Yesterday I took this photo of us about to harvest just before we thought it was going to pour with rain. It did’t. Not even little spots, so out we went to turn on the irrigation again. As always it is wonderful to accidentally walk through the sprinkler on the way somewhere. Even with the dark clouds looming over the harvester the Qld Blue Couch about to be changed from being in our paddock into someones lawn looks gorgeous and green and was so wonderfully fluffy to touch. Sorry to sound like I have a little favourite, but at the moment the Qld Blue is definetly my favourite. It is requiring the least amount of water and care to stay turf green and ready to go and be come someones new cherished lawn.

Love it

Green Christmas is nit the most well known of sayings but I think it should become more widely used. I know that many of the farmers and people out west would love to have a bit of rain to have a Green Christmas. And I know I would not knock back any rain at the moment.

So I am starting the tradition of saying “have a merry Green Christmas” especially if you give or receive a new green lawn as an amazing gift. How wonderful to wake up on Christmas to a green fluffy soft lawn ready for you and your families enjoyment this Christmas. Water fights, backyard cricket, and a place for the new trampoline (that’s what our kids are getting for Christmas. Looking forward to putting that up Christmas Eve) that the kids can run to bare foot across your new soft Green lawn, or the place to sit and relax while watching all these shenanigans.

Green Christmas’ are great fun. And even better it’s a present you can give not just to others but also most importantly to yourself. Your lawn is the first thing your visitors see when they arrive. Having the greenest fluffiness lawn is not just a great present to yourself, but to everyone who comes to enjoy your Christmas Joy as well.

So let’s start planning your green Christmas and I will continue to pray for rain as well as play In our sprinklers as we are irritating your new lawn at the farm.

Family Farm

At Coastal Turf we are a Family farm with “old fashioned” family values. I am one of these crazy mums that make everyone sit around the dinner table at night and discuss our days. Even though some days we are all on the farm together and we all know what has happened. I still make them sit and talk. And laugh and play and have fun together so we all know what is going on in all of our lives. It helps to create a trusting family unit, which means I know when Dad or Tony says that the turf is a good or great quality I know I can trust their opinion.

Which means that when I tell you that our Qld Blue Couch is thick and Fluffy and soft and Deep blue, it is from a trusted source. Straight from the farmers mouth. Or any of our varieties for that matter. And because it is a family farm and my husband installs the turf, I will only harvest turf and send it out if it is good enough for my husband to installs.

There is nothing worse than sitting around at dinner with your husband cranky because his day was really hard because he had bad turf to install. It is definitely much nicer to have a happy husband who has had a lovely day brightening someones home with great quality green grass for a beautiful new lawn.

Your new Lawn?

So think about our quality care and service  like this I will only harvest, chat with you and deliver your new lawn to you in a condition that I would want to sit around a dinner table with you at night and listen to how good your turf was.
