Thank you for this video! My grandmother passed over three years ago and her grave site still has not grown grass! After watching I will be able to beautify the area around her headstone! Very simple and to the point, thank you again!

Started this process last Sunday and this week my seed is sprouting! Thanks Lawn Care Nut.

My husband had been trying to grow grass in one spot of our front yard. After following these steps he finally did it! I started seeing grass after just one week, I couldn't believe it. Thanks so much! I'm passing your channel to all my friends and neighbors, lol :P

Hey Al! Larry in Chicago again. Last year I had shoulder and bicep surgery so I was out of the lawn care game. I had a service come and I have to say, it never has looked worse! So anyway, I am back to my old self and catching up on your videos and this was a huge help! Thanks! I went out and visited Home Depot this morning and got all of the stuff that you used for this lawn and I replicated it. There was a section of my yard that had grub damage last year (imagine that, and i paid them for grub treatment and still got them.) so I cleaned it all out and did what you did here. I had a really thin lawn in the front yard as well, (that used to be the best looking part of my lawn till last year) and I did the seed, peat moss, and patch master. I did do the milorganite a couple weeks ago on my entire lawn so I didn't do it again. I bought some starter fertilizer. I wanted to ask you before I went and put that down. Do you think I could still go ahead with the starter fertilizer?

Just bought a house with horrible back yard. Using your method I have new grass growing in just 6 days!!!!

It’s kinda cool going back and watching your older videos. Good cool season content in the earlier days 👍

I watched over a dozen lawn videos from other sites. I followed the steps on your video and FINALLY got results! Thank you LCN! ♡

I found it. Awesome video as it shows how patient you need to be while watering and waiting. Thanks for your tips and videos, I have learned a lot.

Awsome video just re seeded some patches and over seeded... love the videos and info...

Perfect! I applied it the same way as you did with the peat moss, I sort of rubbed it through my hands and made a powder out of it. It's nice and thin. I watered it down twice today to keep it moist and I'll do that everyday. Super pumped to see it come back in nice and green. Hopefully by summertime I'll be looking at a nice lush green lawn. I don't think it was too far gone that I can't bring it back really nicely. Now a Three Floyds! ;)

I tried a version of this. I had to cover a huge bald spot after the removal of a tree stump. I live in Georgia that has red clay. I forgot to rake first but I spread the grass seed. Then I did a layer of the Milorganite and topped that with a layer of peat. I didn't use the Patch Master. I watered the grass with a hose for about 15 minutes morning and at sundown every day and after about 7 days, it started to sprout. Now it's been 14 days and I have pretty, bright green grass. I'm going to keep watering daily until the end of October. I'm so happy because I've tried growing grass in the past with no success.

Love your vids! You make me get fired up about my lawn!

New home owner here and I'm ready to make my yard beautiful and I absolutely love your videos, very helpful. Thank you for helping ❤️

Very informative for the beginners. THANKS!

I remember a grass seed that was inbeded like in cotton candy fibers. Haven't seen it anymore. That seed was amazing. Purchased at Walmart years ago. I remember spreading it and feeling the urge to put it in my mouth.

Really enjoy your videos

Great video Alan!

Great Method, I will try it!

Keep up the hard work your a good example!

Thanks! VERY helpful. I am near Joliet and am going to follow steps exactly for a large bare shady patch in my backyard that Creeping Charlie took over.

Hey Al, could use possibly do a video on warm season grasses as well .. Since we live in the transition zone and all, zoysia makes a amazing lawn !

I used the same exact seed and it's only day 4 and I already see germination in some spots, I water 2 times a day unless it rains. Can't wait to see what it looks like 30 days out.

Great video al, looking forward to the end results

Great Video. Thank you

Hey LNC love your videos and I had a question. I followed the instructions in this video on a small piece of yard around my flag pole and so far I'm getting really good results however I did seed two weeks ago Sunday Oct , 15. it's coming in good its about two inches tall do you think it will continue to grow enough to make it through winter? I live in northeast Tennessee and I planted a turf type tall fescue blend and I'm hoping it will last through winter. Also I have about 3 acres to mow so its not easily watered and i want to get the rest of my lawn looking much better. It's not all weeds but there are a lot of them especially wide bladed grasses. I plan on starting to rehab in early spring but don't have an irrigation system just a impact sprinkler. if i put down scotts water smart seed would the spring rains be enough to get it to germinate? i know this is long but i would really appreciate your opinion, thanks.

buying a house that has no grass in the back yard, this video has me relieved and I can't wait. only thing is do you recommend tilling the soil at all or just make sure there's no high spots? thank you, subscribed and excited for my future lawn.

Can't wait to see the follow up video.

Nice job. Please, can you provide the link for part 2?

Do areas like yours ever use sod? Cause I did sod (mid-iron) but is it a good idea to used seed is the case were I started with sod?

Great Video. Thanks

Do you have any videos on caring for the lawn about a month after the newly fully seeded lawn?

Hi Allyn I love your videos and they helped me so much! Regarding new grass seeding video here, you recommended 45-60 min of watering every day? That comes to 1/2 inch of watering every day which seems like an enormous amount of water. Are you really recommending almost 4 inches a week of water here? Many thanks...Mitch

Great video. Do I need to turn over the ground/dirt in the area to be seeded?

My favorite video.

I have the same issue they dug up a pipe however prior to that was just weeds. Can i kill off the weeds and use a tiller to mix the soil with top soil to start off the seed.

This is my go to video for when I start my lawn out front. Moved into my house by the way... front lawn is nothing but crab grass and weeds. Funny story... previous owner used to turn the house into a Haunted House attraction around Halloween every year... so naturally... the lawn doesn't exist lol.

I've had very inconsistent results with the Scott's EZ-Seed products. It reminds me of their combined Weed and Feed products. Helpful to a fault. I've had much better results with the cheaper "no frills" grass seed.

Do you have a video about filling in shallow spots in the lawn? Should I just add soil to grade and seed on top then peat moss per the video or should I gradually fill in with top soil and the grass will grow through it?

We planted new grass seed last august..used worm castings dirt..beautiful lawn everwhere...It's April here in wisconsin and it's coming up very patchy..Is it because it isn't warm enough yet? Our old parts of the lawn are green and beautiful

Looks like you inspired the people across the street too!

We need more before and afters!

I live in Joliet, great video.

If I'm using a separate fertilizer, do I put that on after I lay the seed or after I lay the peat moss? Thanks

good work

After throwing her down how long should i wait to put on a starter fert?

Lastly can I add additional seed ( from another bag) to the scots coir as I was thinking the same as you, that the seed was on the minimum side. If so shall I put down the seed under the coir as it will have the soil contact given by the Scots coir. I suppose this will be better then putting it on top. Having said that it will look no different to the seeds in the Scots coir mix as that seems to rest on the top as well. If the peat is to cover the seed so it has a bit of soil on-top of it, I get that.... And also the peat will have good nutrients of soil so it will be ideal to cover the seed. But I don't get why the coir is guaranteed to grow every where and it worked for me. If the peat is to maximise the seed growth so that contact is maximum and birds don't eat and seed are buried ever so slightly then I get it.., please explain in detail where you can. Thanks

LCN ... followed process, got grass. Thank you. I have ants marching in, should I kill them now with something like Sevin ... or wait until grass is more established (I'm about 3 days after germination of KBG, primarily).

Do you have any sort of guideline as to how much area one cube of peat moss will cover?

So I should be doing massive amounts of work but I can't stop thinking about my lawn and how semi-crappy it looks which is why i'm watching your awesome, informative, easy to follow video instead. I have a question that i'm hoping you can answer.... As I'm approaching June, I managed to kill some weed areas on my lawn. I got two more patches that i need to treat/kill. My question is, should i even bother killing them, now that we are in the month of June? Would it even be possible to grow grass on the spots I treated with the temps on the rise? I live in CT so temps are preparing to get warmer. Should I just wait until September when temps get cooler? My wife may divorce me (jokingly of course...i think) if I complain or stare at my lawn anymore. Just wondering if i should hold off and deal with the little green i have even if that means keeping the weeds there for their green color and working on it once temps drop.

Can I use compost for topdressing the grass seed instead of peat moss?

Patchmaster > straw for a larger lawn? What are your thoughts on topdressing, say with an organic mulch? Can I spread that with a broadcast spreader?

What is better, using peat moss or compost? I have a very weedy patchy lawn. I put down some milorganite to add some nutrients since it's mid summer, but come fall I want to aerate, over seed, and amend some soil with either peat moss or compost. It's a large 10,000 Sq ft lawn. What would u recommend?

Grass not growing well in area of my husband's headstone. I've gone to the cemetery and found that the cemetery groundskeepers just throw grass seed on the DRY HARD ground--as though that would do something! (It's been 2&1/2 years so definitely long enough for ground to recover from the burial.)

Could you use Milorganite with organic compost, or is that over doing it?

Hello, it's almost 3 weeks since I have seeded my new lawn now i start to see a lot of young broad leaf grass coming out. I am guessing it's crabgrass. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

I have a big one to do in barrington il in two weeks. I will post up video. Good to see someone in youtube same state I am up north by gurnee Good job man. I will see after video when you post it.

Allyn - any recommended grass type for Illinois backyard in full direct sun?

LCN- New subber. I have a similar project to the one you did here. I live outside of Naperville in a town called Lisle, IL. My question we have about 2,000 square feet to grow in a bare place...where do we buy these different steps in bulk? Also, we have a good include slope , should we sod the area or do you feel the grass with the patch will suffice? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

When do you spray tenacity on in this process if you wanted to?

Is there a Bermuda version of that patchmaster? Was looking at the grass mix in it and it has several but no Bermuda.

Thank you! Also, if my grass looks dead in certain areas, is it better to dig it up and seed per this video, or just start the fall recovery program? Or both?

How many inches of loose topsoil should you use for new seed

My "lawn" is patchy as the lawn in the video but it also contains a lot of weeds, do I need to do anything about the weeds before I cover with soil and seed?

can I mix grass seed with coir pith fiber(coco peat) before seeding?

Hi I was wondering about something. My dad found this grass seed turf type tall fescue made by Titon rx it has rhizomes in it. What is it and what does it look like. It says it regrows and you don't have to over seed every year. Is it a good grass to use in your yard.

I'm finding that the Spring showers just aren't there, and I find myself watering three times a day just to keep it damp. The winds are drying out the soil, I can't wait the seed to germinate.

is it me or did he go through the steps twice?

Should we add RGS and Air 8 to the soil

how many minutes will you water your newly sown grass seed?

I have some issues up here in the northeast. I need to seed about 2,000 square ft. The forsythia are blooming and the Dandelions are pushing up in the lawn. The temps are hovering around freezing for the next 10 days and we are expecting accumulation of snow. What should I do?

Can i use straw instead of patch’s master?

Can you show updates every two weeks. For a detail viewing. Or at least every month without fail. Never to miss a month. Thanks

Allyn- Do you do any soil testing before you start straightening out a lawn? If so, where and how do you do it? Can you do a video on it? Thanks

do i have to pull out all weeds before doing this

Though I realize this is probably 100 videos ago for you, I'd love to get an update. Wondering if it required a second seeding. Staying tuned to the progress of your St Aug plugs and Frankenlawn

Allan- I have some leftover seed and Scott's 'Lawn Food' leftover from the last 1-2 years. Since it is that old, should I toss it or use it up this year on my lawn? Thank You for your time!

how much peat moss should I need for top dressing 5 sq? Tell me in grams or in kg

oh and great video

Hi Allyn. Love your channel. Do you recommend this process for us in FLorida? Sod is so expensive.

So what do you think the cost is per Sq.ft not counting labour... material onlY v.s. sod?

What were the results after some time?

Any alternatives to Peat Moss?

I’m just starting his today! Thanks for a great how to. I’m hopeful this year. I’ll tag you in the Instagram

Is there a link to the finished product?

What is a good grass seed to buy?

How grass seed should i need for 5 square metre?

Why cover the entire lawn in Patchmaster? I understand the edges near the driveway etc.

Is peat moss a common practice when growing grass from seed? I haven't really seen it done in the other videos I've watched on KZfaq.

is milorganite a starter fertilizer?

how much Bermuda grass seed should I need for 5 sq ( in grams )?

great vid! from the LCP (psycho), he shoudl do more tutorial DIY projects like this...i can use is help...ribeys on me pal!

LCN - followed this exactly and it worked perfect on 2/3 of the lawn. The other 1/3 I've now realized doesn't get as much sun exposure and the grass is growing in a bit more spotty. Anything I can do to take adantage of the last few weeks of suitable growing weather in New England to help that other 1/3? Great vids as always!

hello sir i am from srilanka so icant get the list that you tell can you tell another methoed plz

Hi, I'm trying to access your Bootcamp link. However, I'm getting a 'Your connection is not private' message. Please resolve so that I can access it. Thank you for great videos!

How do you know when the grass is ready for the first cut? I had dead tracks from the mower wheels when I did it...

What does it look like now?

is milorganite an organic lawn food?

So where is the result videos for this... pls reply this with a link ... thanks

So instead of patch master would any paper mulch be okay? I am concerned about the grass seeds in it not jiving with mine.

If you use step 1 for seeding you can prevent weeds from sprouting with it.
