great video. not sure what the typical soil is in Ireland, but I live in northeastern U.S.A. and we have a lot of class soil, which is terrible for growing a nice lawn. in that case, amending the soil with gypsum (calcium), greensand (if you can find it), and lots of compost will do the trick, but you will want aerate the solid before hand. aerators are very expensive so yo'll likely either rent one or pay a landscape business to do it for you, but it will allow those amendments to get into the soil & for water to as well.

Hi Robbie. Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks. Really enjoy your videos. This year I followed your advice and bought myself a proper scarifier. I also made a DIY dragmat as per your instructions. On the first weekend in September I scarified the lawn and took out so much thatch it was unbelievable (my lawn is 25 metres by 15 roughly). I overseeded then top dressed with top soil and overseeded again for good measure. The game changer this year was the dragmat. If anyone hasn't made one yet then they should do as this has helped enormously. So much so that 3-4 weeks later I have really good growth and after it's first light cut it looks fantastic. Thanks again !

@@Premier_lawns_official I’m not sure if I’ve done my lawn in the right order.. I cut and scarified, few days later raked in some compost then aerated with a fork the next day. I over seeded plus a bit of fertiliser, raked that in with topsoil over everywhere, and then rolled with a duel cylinder and make sure it’s watered. Have I done any of this wrong? Thanks

@eddiehemming5578 Ай бұрын

I think the big mistake is that you mentioned aerating the lawn with a fork you didn't actually do any areating, although, some say that using a scarifier is a form of aeration as the blades cut slits into the soil. I also think that it is worthwhile top dressing the lawn after over- seeding and before matting-in as it would improve seed-to-soil contact, prevent the seed being eaten by the birds or blown away by wind or washed away by rain.

I have just (sort of) inherited a very large hotel lawn (I was asked if I could mow it etc as the Gardener had left) It was lush and green, fed with weed and feed routinely. However it's unlevel and springy to walk on (looks arent everything) Cutting a long story short after I inspected it (you would seriously tear your hair out if you could have seen it?) I had to scalp it. Finally got them to purchase a scarifier. Scarified it 5 times over 2 days (large lawn and just me) could probably done with an other couple of passes. Looks horrendious, over seeded it last week, clay soil that wont drain. OMG nightmare guess I will have to do the same proccess in the spring? Anyway your videos are invaluable.

Just commenting to help you out. Nobody in the states does a job like you do and if you were here you’d be my dude. Seeding has to be the most frustrating thing I do. 2 plots side by side. One flourishes. One looks like my mother in law. Just random success. I do not scarify but try to aerate. I don’t roll the turf but try to walk and pound with the side of a metal groundskeeper rake. Do you try to cover the seed with anything? I’ve tried light peat moss, light compost, fine topsoil. Not any noticeable differences. I truly believe it boils down to luck. That perfect storm of moisture, temperature, and sun. If we make it to Northern Ireland I want to treat you to a beer

I used wayyy too much seed when I created a new lawn last year. Rather than getting a measuring tape out, I tried to eye-ball it - that was a mistake! Initially it looked awesome! But by summer, it got way too thick and then suffered for months from heat stress (I guess down to overcrowding, and too much competition for water!). Now in Autumn, I'm going to scarify, topdress and overseed, in the hope that next year I can try again! Essentially my laziness to measure correctly led to a bad lawn that I couldn't do much about for 6 months! We have long summers around 40C, with little to no rain whatsoever, so you just can't scarify in those conditions.

Mike, 100 per cent leave the weed killing until next year. By all means, pull them out by hand.

You will have a better lawn in the long term

What aboot ye Robbie! Thanks for ur content! Very helpful and interesting...a quick question though: In some videos you spread seed on its own and sometimes mixed with soil in the roller. Is there any relevance to the difference that i missed? Kind regards from Germany

Seed under the soil is going to be the best, sometimes I put it into the roller just to show that you can do that too as not everyone has a spreader

This grass coped well with low cutting. Mine looked scalped at even 1 inch in areas due to high crown growth. I did all these things and also used top soil over the seeds. Its 3mm screened but look more brown than the typical darker multipurpose soils. I used it to fill a few turf line dips. Will the new seeds grow through this or in it? I put some seeds over it just in case they don't come through it. The grass was cut to 1 inch and then the top soil was sieved over it and then brushed in so most of the grass blades were coming through. I put some compost over any areas that were smothered a bit. Its been a week now so I can't tell if its germinating due to the existing grass being there already. The grass was pretty good as its only 9 months old, but I wanted to incorporate a new rye type and extend some areas so I though I would fix any thin areas and incorporate the new creeping rye in other areas.

Thanks. Back to like & comment having been sidetracked by the next video you linked. I may well be wrong, but I though it always best to reduce the hight of cut progressively over time (by no more than a third) rather than in one afternoon......????

I have always done that, it appears not everyone does as I get a lot of questions about it. I learn loads from the questions and comment people say to me. Thank you for the comments, it always helps the videos

What do you mean RTFM ... if I wanted to read I wouldn't be watching videos, no? 😛 Thanks for the refresher. It's fall, gotta do some lawn care.

Great chanel, I've just subscribed, just wondering how you rate the milwaukee fuel mower? I'm deep into the m18 fuel platform and been contemplating replacing my 200hp mower with it, is it worth the money in your opinion? Ps my lawn size is a half acre and I have the high output batteries there, thanks 👍

If you have the batteries and chargers, you are half way there. I think they are selling it without the batteries now. Would be rude not to 😉
