Thanks Sam, when the reno is done and you start mowing again. You mentioned try to mow as much as you can. However when do you stop and at how many cm? I read everywhere that the graag should be around 5-6cm before going into the winter time.
@SamsLawn11 ай бұрын
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!

Awesome job! Actually, your lawn looked beautiful even before the renovation I didn't think it needed one but I understand how you want it to be perfect. I will seed a new lawn next week. I have already prepared the ground in August. I am still very confused about what seed to plant. I think I will go with tall broad leaf fescue for now and maybe overseed something else in spring...? The climate is so crazy lately...heat waves in summer and snow in winter I will be experimenting 😅 Any ideas? Thanks for the video. Please show us the results.
@SamsLawn11 ай бұрын
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! 🙏
@lucymoazzo309711 ай бұрын
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!

@SamsLawn11 ай бұрын
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.
@ericbraet793111 ай бұрын
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. 😉

@SamsLawn11 ай бұрын
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.

@@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
@chosen1one93011 ай бұрын
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
