A cut above the rest

THE Jan Juc Grass Growers Guild (JJGGG) held its fifth annual lawn-growing contest at the weekend, with avid green thumbs each vying for an accolade.

Ross Dennett from Surf Coast Yoga was the overall winner, wowing the judge with his “almost flawless” kikuyu bluegrass blend that was fertilised using local chicken manure and dam water from his property.

Ross was handed the coveted green jacket from last year’s winner Nichol Wylie.

Runner up was Mike DiSciascio, while most improved went to Ben Day for his two-year kikuyu project.
