Janalli

One of Alan's fetishes is a weed free lawn - and a great job he has done of it over the years too!!  At this time of year as the flatweed begins to raise its ugly head he gathers all his tools and gets ready for the great "Battle of the Flatweed".  If the flatweed wins, the lawn becomes a sea of yellow in the summer followed by lots of dead patches.  He has rigged up a tank on the back of the old mower with sprays attached to the back to help in this fight.  Being an engineer, he has ensured that this is a very effective way of spraying a very large area of grass in a short time. 
However this year he mistakenly loaded the tank with a mixture of Roundup and Kamba instead of just Kamba.  As a result we now have 'lawns' which are more brown than at the height of the drought.  During the drought the area of West Gippsland was about the only place where you could see green grass.  Ironically, we are now surrounded by emerald green paddocks but our lawns are brown.  Not to panic though, Alan has spread seed liberally and luckily we have had gently rain to water it in.  Here's hoping we will have lush, green grass for the many weddings which are booked in for the next few months. 
In addition we are open for Gardivalia on 15th and 16th October and for Jazz@Janalli on 26th November and will definitely have to have perfect lawns by then.The Green Lawns of spring: This is how it should look
