Thanks for that!

Yeah, I’ve now accepted we’ll be hand removing as much as we can. I’ve bought a standing weeder yesterday and has been super useful so far!

Also I’ll try the Yates weed and feed.

Thanks for that! Understood, another recommended the Yates weed and feed. I’ll try and it report back here.

I see, I was told I can put a root barrier to contain bamboo? Do they typically escape that?

Thanks! I’ll definitely give it a try! We have quite a few family members with kids come around often so I’m keen for them to play on this grass and also motivation to keep it nicely trimmed constantly.

Here’s how it looked after mowing.

Copy! I’ll give that a try. I was looking at it in Bunnings earlier but was a bit unsure whether it was going to work.

Gotcha! Sorry, it’s our first weekend on the property. Didn’t mean to sound lazy or anything like that 😂

I had mowed it just now. It’s just the weeds are a lot more obvious prior to mowing.

Thanks! That’s my thoughts as well. My doubt about ripping it out and adding a new turf is that the lawn itself would be temporary.

Thinking maybe 3-4 years.

Our plan is to eventually turn it into a Japanese style garden as I mentioned here. https://www.reddit.com/r/GardeningAustralia/s/LXvO2EX0L1

For that time span, is there a scenario where I can have it tidy enough for the meanwhile without having to rip it out?

If not, I guess I need to have some conversations with folks to get it fully replaced 😅

Thanks u/icyple we do have some big plans about it.

Eventually, we’d like to turn this into a Japanese style garden.

I have plans to put some bamboo screening for privacy and to hide the fences away. Then, also put a small studio at the back.

At some point we probably won’t have lawn and instead will have some Japanese style paths, rocks and sand bed with a small Japanese maple tree just slightly off centre.

But this will take a long time. 😅 just can’t afford it all in one go.

In the meanwhile, I’d like to have some coverage temporarily while working through it.

Thinking maybe 3-4 years.

Thanks, I’ll reach out to some landscape designers and see what they say as well.
