Before spreading seed, mix dish washing fluid with warm water and drench the area. This will dilute the ammonia.

This is perfect, exactly what I needed! I’ll be putting this tutorial to good use in my garden. THANK YOU!!

Thank you Shaun, I will own my first 100m2 garden later in July. And saw some bare area from the lawn, even the pre-owner siad he tried to seed them but still nothing grown up at those spot. But I will definitely try your way to patch them or renovate the lawn later! thank you for sharing these precious knowledge. For me as beginner is really a gift! Hope you’re having more fun in you businesses and thank you again!

Thanks for the info … love watching your yt

Thanks, very helpful

Great advice as usual

Great video again

Thanks Shaun that lawn looks very good considering it’s gone through the winter . I forgot to mention on the site I was on they insisted on the machine drivers to put down a fuel spillage, try when working on the machine and even with the petrol disc cutter, when filling up with petrol that i use on sites to stop contamination to the soil 👍🙏

Hi Shaun great advice thanks, I also have dogs with similar issues. I also have a very green lawn unfortunately not because of lush grass but a covering of green algae. I get this every year regardless of the amount of aerating I do, and it’s back again this year. Is there any treatment or maintenance I need to do to get rid of this unwanted greenery. Thanks Mark.

The dog will appreciate the new lush grass lol xxA lot of work when you have a dog 🐕

Hi Shaun, I've been watching a lot of your videos to help teach me how to look after my lawn better as I've never had to before. Currently I've got a lawn about 30 m2 and covered in ants, moss and weeds and unfortunately it's got some shady bits to. I would appreciate your advice on the my current plan of action within the next few weeks: 1) Use weed and moss killer 2) Wait a week or two and then Scarify + Aerate + overseed with shade grass + fertilizer + compost top layer using a brush and treading it in 3) Water the lawn 2 times a day for 2-3 weeks 4) Once grass has grown mow regularly once a week ideally Any other helpful tips or if you can recommend some of your videos that would be great. I don't see any ants yet but when I do I plan to use the bait stations from Ant Stop as I believe this is the best option as I have an outdoor cat Thanks Alec

This was great, I was wondering why the seeds weren't germinating in this big pee spot, I'm going to go back and dig a little deeper... thank you! This video was great :)

Wow, so thorough. Thanks Shaun. I had no idea there's that much work involved. I still have patches (big ones) from the scarifying I did last November. I've got my work cut out now! But one thing I would like to know. I still have some "cold start" grass seed which has been in the shed all winter. I know you said that frost can kill grass seed, but that's out in the open, in the ground. So what about the unused seeds left behind in the sack? Can low temperatures damage/kill seed if it's still in the packet in the shed? Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks Shaun. When you grow grass seeds in pots or seed trays to transplant into the lawn would you grow the seeds in top soil or compost? Thanks

I'm needing a pee after watching this!!!😁

Got a small square of artificial lawn and put on the gravel up the top of the garden and trained the dog to do it there . Took about a week. Now she wont even touch the lawn 😊

Thanks Shaun. But, my lawn is really a mess as the grass are utmost dead (I think) and the lawn looks like a quagmire because of too much rain in my area. I really do not know how to work it out. Of course, my dog is also an issue as well. Please advise how to grow the grass in area with frequent rainfall? Thanks

When using your scarifier do you use the blades or tines? What's the difference and different results? Can both be used on the same lawn during the same treatment?

Interesting, thank goodness SWMBO’s dog is a chihuahua. I’ve got a little bit of dog damage on the back lawn. I intend to grow some 3 inch deep trays of seed this year in order to cut the size I need rather than small pots. Weather has been too wet to cut for a few weeks but looking good for the next week so just hit the grass with selective Weedol. Will cut it by a third on Wednesday to give to time to work. Probably leave the first scarify of the year till Sunday after another cut, but it’ll be a lightish one as I won’t be able to overseed due to Weedol. Given my last scarify was in October hopefully there won’t be too much crud there, but the front lawn is feeling a tiny bit spongy underfoot. 👍

Oh mate I wished you had made this video 10 years ago because I was suffering from the same issue. I bought a house and the previous owner has 2 dogs and my lawn was in a right mess. Did everything i could that made sense but didn't work. I don't plan on keeping a dog but I now know how to tackle the issue if I ever do get one :) I do have a separate question if I may. Last year I got someone to rip out the jungle of a lawn from this new property and asked them to put some top soil on afterwards. The top soil was of course of bad quality and had plenty of stones and I guess weed seeds in it. Now I haven't been able to do anything with the lawn since last year August because of temperatures, weather etc. Fast forward to April now, my lawn which would've been a clean slate has now got weeds of all kinds grown up to nearly a foot now. I don't know how to best tackle this issue. I do have the Roundup Optima+ Total weed killer, should I just spray that and will that help? If so, will one application be enough or should I repeat it another time after a week and then wait another week or so before putting the new seeds, fertiliser etc down? What's the best way to go about it? Thanks in advance mate.

Hi Mate, Loving the vids! I have a new build garden (i know) and the lawn is horrible, I have weeds coming up all the time and I don't have a clue where to start with what to put on it or how to prepare it. I have been watching your vids and think weed killer is my first priority then I can hopefully scarify and overseed I was wondering, I have seen your buying list of items but could you go over what to put on your garden at what time of the year? I.e when/how often to overseed, how often and what to use for fertiliser, and then like when to use iron / weed killer / other substances for lawn care? might be a few videos in that stuff but thats generally where I'm struggling haha also SCARIFYING, can this be done using a landscaping rake? (might be a stupid question) just want to try and cut down how many tools im gonna need. thanks and appreciate the videos!

Do you use potting compost for dressing?

Hi Shaun..just ordered some emerald green...its a shame you live to far away..would have loved you to come and look at my lawn, and help me figure what's wrong..cheers

15:30 if I put that many layers over my seed it doesn't do anything. Also raking after covering seed tends to pull up and uncover the seed.

My lawn is one year old. Is it too young to scarfy?

I just cut my grass today. So I'm almost ready to repair my patches. So just clarifying, did you say I could get away with using either compost or top soil? It's just that I don't have either at the moment and I don't want to buy both. So which should I buy, please?

Hi @LawnRight great video. I have about 4 weeds in my lawn. What's the best wat to get rid of them and do i need to re-seed where they have come out?

I'm going on dragons den with my dog wee farm idea. No more deed to buy fertiliser from Russia

I'm saying nothing LOL! :) Have you seen the price of tomatoes ketchup! :)

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail 👍

11:44 I can see a sideshow Bob incident happening there, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7ihZK6kzZOXYps.html

Stay there for an hour first thing in the morning? 🤓

You could just lay down synthetic lawn..🙃

Best solution get rid of the dog. 😂. That's a lot of compost you used in such a small area.

Does this also apply for fox pee? We have loads in our area who have taken possession of our lawn in their kingdom, and crap and pee on it every day as part of their ownership rituals!
