Roger tends to a lawn that was seeded in the summer and is not doing well; Richard goes over low-budget kitchen upgrades; Tom travels to San Francisco to build a stool using computer-based tools.

Roger used a core aerator to add small holes to the lawn and then added compost. A core aerator can be rented at tool rental houses and home centers. Compost is available at home centers and garden centers.
Roger applied Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass, which is a fertilizer high in phosphorous to promote root growth. He then spread Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun and Shade Mix, which is coated to help lock in moisture. Both of these are manufactured by Scotts.
All the other tools for this project, including a broadcast spreader and lawn rake, are available at home centers and nurseries.

I'm not so sure about that spring seeding advice from Rodger. In our area, Midwest, two applications of pre-emergent are recommended typically. 1 in mid to late March and another in early May. When I apply spring seed for customers, I skip the first pre-emergent application and apply the seed, then follow up with the later pre-emergent application after the seed is established. Crabgrass doesn't typically germinate an hour area until early May anyway. Bottom line, check with your local Turf people!

@@Kevin-mp5of🤔🤔😂😂 Possibly the kind of design studio that produces working designs/pattern pieces for folks who have an idea but lack the expertise to design an item for themselves. Their CAD lady seemed to be designing the shapes for very easy production and maximum use of the material available. IE it was the entire process for manufacturing an item. We have a bloke like that in UK by the name of Dyson (one of your vacuum cleaner manufacturers found him quite an expensive proposition as I recall ... ). He designs kit and then has been his Chinese factories run up the items ... at Chinese labour rates. And the notion of a "proper" union in China is a tad hazy, if you follow. In short the profits stay overseas and he only employs a few hundred staff in UK ... and "quite" a lot more in China. Can't fault his business acumen tho'. Suspect too that the staff in that design studio equally switched on and definitely not hard up, at all.

A bit of feedback on the lawn care part. First, before you aerate you want to make sure to give your lawn a deep watering or else the aerator won’t go as deep as you want it to. Second, I would recommend a lawn leveler instead of a rake when you are spreading soil with compost. Third, I would use soil to level, use a leveler (it’s a tool), throw down seed, then slightly rake, then spread peat moss. There are peat moss rollers that will make it a cleaner job spreading that. Lastly, you want to water more than one time a day after you’ve thrown down new seed. You want to water 3 to 4 times a day for about 5-10 minutes each time until the seed germinates. The three seed types you used germinate at different times. Just know there is a lot more to lawn care than what this video shows. Follow Ryan Knorr lawn care on KZfaq for the full scoop.

And using that technology it was shown that it was possible to perfectly replicate the stool ad nauseam. It was simply a filler piece to add interest. Perhaps we shall see some footage of 3D printing of entire homes. Some of your techno companies have already built such dwellings in Austin, Texas five years ago. Personally I had no idea and found the project an excellent wheeze for mass producing housing in deprived areas.

Now, this wheeze is known only to a few. Lawn fertilizers ... as it happens there is a perfect "lawn food" available to all at absolutely zero cost. It is the absolute epitome in the way of fertilizers. This knowledge is something the fertilizer manufacturers don't want you know about. Anyone guessed yet? Well, to put you out of your misery I'll tell you. Ready for this? It is human wee. Yes it's your very own waste product and is packed with nutrients that grass absolutely craves. Plenty of info online from green community/agronomy websites and YT clips but in short properly diluted human wee is the absolute best as an all round lawn food, and any other greenery of course. There are a few rules on dilution and frequency of application and when to feed a lawn but in short and as general rule of thumb dilute at around 7:1 ( more water), preferably before rain and during the main grass growing season for where you live. Slightly different rules for decorative plants plants and food plants. And don't be tempted to use your solid waste in the same way. Any solids should be allowed to rot down for a year before applying to decorative plants and perhaps two years before application to food plants. This is because of the pathogens issue. If you aren't entirely convinced then easy enough to do your own tests on a patch of lawn. One section without any fertilizer and two other patched fed with a proprietary lawn food and the last with wee at "a" dilution. Lastly, on plant feeding, suggest you don't apply lobstahs, even rotted ones. If you live near the coast then washed and rotted seaweed is supposed be excellent.
