I feel your pain my man 😅 it's exhausting, even with a Landzie, much much harder without! Hope you had fun in the end though and that satisfaction when you are done is priceless! 😁 Good job mate!

@@SamsLawn thx, now watching the lawn growing and growing and drinking cofe... Work hard a day... enjoy for the rest of the season 🤜🤛 ☕️ lawn stuff is not difficult, 2 hard days a year... and between this 2 days: mowing mowing mowing mowing 🤣

@@mathiasthansen1400 Exactly dude, 100% correct!

The weather is just crazy, we have really high temps right now, so who knows, seems like frost will come late this year so I think you are more than fine, don't worry 😁 Thanks for dropping by my man, say Hi to Finland for me 🥳🤙

@@SamsLawn absolutely! It's been up around 20-21 here recently. Super warm for September. And if it doesn't work now, soon snow will cover it and I can try again in spring anyway 😄

@@TrizzaW haha for sure mate! But I bet it will work just fine, keep me posted!

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏

Thanks Mate, appreciate it! 🙏 My wife thinks I have a very dry sense of humor haha, I am going to show her your comment! 😁

Thanks Peter, appreciate it mate! 🙏

thanks man, appreciate it so much, glad someone else than me likes my sense of humor 😅😁

Tjena Kevin, tack! Jag hoppas också man kan komma igång snart, abstinensen är på topp just nu, vill bara ut i gräsmattan och börja göra saker. Om den här jäkla snön bara kan ge sig snart! 😅

@@SamsLawn Jag kommer att ta över en trädgård i söderläge i början på april. Känner lite samma som dig att det kliar i fingrarna! Helt ny i trädgårdsområdet, ska bli spännande och se hur man lyckas, dina videos kommer att hjälpa en bra del misstänker jag! Keep it up!

Så märkligt, dina kommentarer läggs undan för granskning, så jag missar dem hela tiden :) Håll mig gärna uppdaterad hur det går för dig med nya mattan i vår, ska bli kul att komma igång och se vad vi kan göra av dem! :)

No YOU are the best mate! 🙏

Thanks Dino, always appreciate you dropping by my man! Hope you are having fun too 😁

@@SamsLawn “Fun” is definitely one way to describe it! 👊

That sounds awesome! I like the more natural way of doing things. I bet it will turn out great! Thanks for dropping by, appreciate it.🙏

Hey Phil, thank you very much, really appreciate it, glad the videos are helpful 🙏

Thanks mate, really appreciate it! 🙏 Who needs sleep, it's overrated, took me 4 late evenings to edit this video 😂

Thanks dude, appreciate it, love the support my man! 🙏

Thanks Mate, really appreciate it, glad you find the videos helpful, means a lot! 🙏

Hey Robert, thanks for dropping by mate, hope you enjoyed the video.

Awesome, well done! I have to say that I had my reservations about the Landzie, just because it's prices kind of high, but now that I have used it over a 1, it's one of the tools that makes lawn care so much easier. Maybe get one together with some neighbors, share the cost? All my neighbors borrow mine all the time 😅

Thanks mate, appreciate it, hope the guide helps!

Thanks for dropping by mate

Hey Mate, I included it just shortly in my last videos, but very briefly. I am really running low on time and other videos are just getting in the way, hopefully I can do a proper video on the mower soon, hopefully. If only the day had more than 24 hours mate 😅

Hey Mate, the boring and obvious answer is to just mow it as long as it's growing. I mow it on my 35-40 mm as long as I can and when it stops growing, then you go into full depression until spring 😅 Usually around the time when you have several consecutive nights of frost, then you know it's not going to grow anymore. I actually don't think it matters that much if it's between 3-6 cm, but any less or any more than that I would avoid. But that would be a fun test to do actually, cut different heights and see how it goes!

Thank you Will, appreciate it. 🙏

Thanks mate, appreciate it! 10% of me is till a lot of nut haha 😁😉

Hey Lucy, thank you very much, for a lawn nut it's never perfect enough 😅 How are the temps now, still high temps? I would suggest something from the fescue family definitely, you are on the right track there, Fescues are usually very drought tolerant and they do not require as much fertilizer as other grass types, especially tall fescue. I read that the DLF rye I am using is supposed to be very drought tolerant too, so that might also be an option, but a riskier one since I haven't tried it myself yet during extreme drought periods. You can see the results next sunday when the new video comes out 😉 Thanks for the support Lucy, always appreciate your comments! 🙏

Hi Sam, thanks a lot for the tips. The temperature now is ideal, 20 min, 30 max. I don't think we have the rye that you are using here.We get rye with bluegrass mix only. I will vist some garden centers and see what I can find. Two months ago, after tilling and removing all grass and weeds, I covered the ground with a net - like blanket to prevent my cat and dust, but I kept watering every day to keep the soil soft and encourage any weeds to sprout so that I can remove them now. I am not sure I did right. Anyway, I really appreciate your videos and look forward to the new one!

@@lucymoazzo3097 Sounds like the perfect thing to do, encourage the dormant weed seeds to grow and then pull them, awesome! I had to go on the old internet to find the seeds, our garden stores usually only have cheap seeds and none of these special kinds, which is understandable since not many people would purchase them. Keep me posted with your progress! 👌💪☺

Tjena, tack! Den heter "trädgårdskantsten Bergama Granit mini modern grå" köpte den hos Stenbolaget. Finns i rustik också om man gillar det mer :)

Hey Mate, I try to stay off the lawn as good as I can, but to be honest when I need to use it I use it, don't really care about some grass here and there, it's not the end of the world if I end up with a bare spot, it's a lawn and it's just grass, use it as much as you can :)

Hey Mate, I had to dig them out when I did the boarders and I haven't really figured out how to get them back since on some spots they don't shot water over the boarder, they are too low. So not sure what to do, right now I am mostly using the SumiSoaker, works awesome when seeding. But I really do want something more permanent. Maybe a project for next year. Thanks for dropping by mate!

Hey mate, sure that works just fine, but usually there is no reason to, unless it's to pick up all the debris after scarifying, but there's nothing wrong with it, you won't damage anything, go for it if you see you need to.

Hey Brandon, I have about 2000 sq ft and I use about 13 bags with the landzie, that´s a thin layer of topdress, if you want a thicker layer then obviously you will need more. Always buy more, you use more than you think, every time :D

Hi Eric, for sure, good that you mentioned that, I actually forgot to include that in the video, if you get areas where you get too much soil on top of the grass, then you definitely can use a rake or a brush to just get the soil off the grass, otherwise they might block out the sun for the existing grass. So a very good point, definitely something you want to do.

You mention areas with too much soil on top of the grass. There are also some areas with too less soil (stripes of the Landzie). So I'm sure that raking will also optimise these areas. I'll start with it in a few days. I will take a lot of breaks (with some drinks), I will need it. 😉

@@ericbraet7931 For sure, either rake it in for those areas or do another pass, raking sounds easier though. Great to hear, take as many breaks as you want mate, enjoy it. Hope it turns out awesome! Keep me posted!

Yes but applying compost over the seed as well keeps the seed warmer, has contact with the seed and help keep the birds off.

Hey Allen, I have seen that too, the only way that would work is if they rake the seeds into the soil afterwards, otherwise they will have poor germination. I have done experiments in pots indoors with seeds on top of the soil in the pot and seeds under. The one on top had at least 50% less germination and at least 50% slower germination. So I would recommend keeping the seeds under the soil.

@@SamsLawn thanks Sam!

Hi David, I actually didn't want to, but I couldn't find a smaller bag with these particular tetraploid seeds, so I thought what the hell. I am going to store it indoors and do a germination test next season, see if that's better. At least that's how I justified my reasons for getting this much seeds when my wife asked the same question 😅

​@@SamsLawnpower raking is verticutting, vertical grooves into the soil, removes thatch, the dead material that hasn't decomposed ie grass clippings mainly those from improper mowing leaving the grass to grow to long and leaves sticks etc. Verticutting doesn't put that much stress on the lawn, it helps the soil breathe and cuts grooves for seed to be dropped right into, we use a slit seeder to redo fairways but we usually go three different directions, basically a diamond shape with a line down the middle, this cuts a groove and drops seed into the soil, on high end courses they will topdress but honestly it's not needed, it's just like punching tiny holes and dropping seed into those without filling them in, eventually after the turf germinates the holes will naturally disappear from rainfall. Home owners should only Verticut its the only thing needed since compaction isn't a issue

Why would germination rates matter? You want a grass that has better disease resistance especially when overseeding. We have ways to make seed germinate twice as fast when seeding a golf course especially greens, it involves soaking the seed in a solution for several days, you also use fungicides and fertilizer, than the entire liquid and seed is hydroseeded on whatever area your doing but of course it's mixed with a different solution so it has the proper seeding per 1,000 sq ft

Hey mate, I have used only Barenbrug RPR, which is only Ryegrass. There is a downside though, it handles winter worst than other cool season grass types. Order of winter hardiness being Kentucky Blue Grass, Fine Fescues, Rye Grass. Not sure how harsh winters you have but you might want to take that into account.

. Last year I also add barenbrug blue resilient sport. - all dead (consist lolium perenne and it doesn’t like cold-warmer climates)Only blue resilint kentucky show some parts alive, but 99% dead. Yesterday I contact some seed producer in hete Estonia and I mix this time myself, what I need. Much cheaper and there are exactly these seeds, what fits better in Polar climate. This seeds are made here in Estonia , do be alive over winter. But let’s see what comes up this time.

I add this time kentycky 30%, rubra 35% and trichophylla 35%. Without commutata.
