STOP your LAWN DYING when SUNNY / PRE HYDRATE Your Lawn
Рет қаралды 37,280
2 жыл бұрынSTOP your LAWN DYING when SUNNY, The best way to combat heat stress is to pre hydrate your lawn in the days leading up to the hot spell and this can be enhanced by adding something called a wetting agent.
This coats the hydrophobic conditions with a polymer which allows water to flow through

Hi everyone I moved into this cul de sac with 5 houses- newly built last October with a seeded lawn. The winter was awful and muddy. So I looked at youtube advice and follow our Daniel here. End of April I scalped and scarified, overseeded and Jacks's Magic. Now i have quite a bit of weed, but the lawn is head and shoulders above the other 4 plots. The lawn is 500 sq yards, so biggish. I also got the Scotts spreader and fertilised on a very low setting on a weekly basis- so I used 20 pounds over three spreads. As the plants only had around 2 months of sun/heat and is young, I have not used weed killer. Thanks Daniel

Hi, just followed/liked the shop on eBay. The seed that is on there (ryegrass mix) is it shade tolerant? I currently use two types, one on each lawn. Front gets sun 6am till midday. It is made up of fescues, bent grass and smooth meadow. I’m not really getting the results I’m after. Rear is dwarf ryegrass and red fescue. Supposedly harder warring. I’d like to change to an all rounder single seed type that can cope with Glasgow’s climate.

Love the content Daniel. Having watched a quite a few videos now, I cant wait to give my lawn the over haul it needs. Can you scarify your lawn at any time of the year, I wanted to get started but feel like I have missed the boat now we’re in summer. Also I have a lot of weeds and moss and now even some mushrooms growing, I’m southwest facing so get a lot of sun. Will all this be cleaned up once I have scarified and reseeded? Cheers and keep up the good work.
