In this episode, Joe and Simon turn the clock back on Australia’s turf industry and uncover how it all really began. Long before turf farms became a staple of suburban development, early imports of kikuyu and couch in the 1930s were quietly reshaping how Australians grew and used grass — from racecourses to backyards
Fast forward into the post-war boom, where a surge in population, housing, and infrastructure turned turf from a groundskeeping practice into a full-blown industry. With suburbs spreading and demand for instant lawns exploding, those early warm-season grasses became the foundation of modern turf farming in Australia.
It’s a story of timing, innovation, and a country growing — quite literally — from the ground up.
