Burnt/dead buffalo. Help please!

Thanks for that.
Noticed a couple of green shoots coming through. Hit it with some dynamic lifter and top soil. Fingers crossed.

The outer ring is from the fungicide. Is it worth trying to hit that with some top dressing or fertiliser?

Hi everyone!
I've had a couple of bad brown spot patches in my sapphire buffalo. Have used some fungicide to treat and 2 days later, my grass looks like this.
Any ideas…

We were about 1100mm cut and apparently we were close the cut off, he was saying within 50mm. That's a shame. Good luck with who ever you end up with!!

You only need a conveyancor for purchasing the block of land. Not for the build. As to what type of insulation? Who knows!!
