Sure thing. When working in existing sod it certainly is the way to go for straight edges. Appreciate you watching!

Ahhh I know what you mean. After doing it like this I hate going back to trying to do it without the edger. Just love that clean look of a nice straight edge! Thanks so much for checking out the video!

Thank you for the kind words Marla! I'm glad that you find the videos to be helpful and enjoyable to watch. So glad to hear from you and I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Take Care.

Thanks a lot!

I realize I am looking at old content, and I am late to the party, BUT they are so good! Thanks for taking time to respond and read my comments. I am not a DIY person but I would love too!

I appreciate it! Glad you found an edger. It works great!

Boy, they sure do. My next video of this project will feature one of their best! Appreciate you watching.

Hey thanks a bunch for that Dan! I'm still learning but enjoy the challenge. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hey thanks Mr. Elite! I do really like using that edger when the opportunity is right. Thanks for checking it out!

Whoa! You're too kind. Thanks for that sentiment Ed it means a lot coming from you. I really love the 310SE. Really a great balance of old and new styling and function. I did it full time for 10 years working for my uncle right outta high school. Always debated doing it on my own after that but now at part time, I still really enjoy it and gives me great balance to my day job. Thanks so much for watching!

I love using that one!

Ha! Greg defines character. He is fun to work with for sure. Who else would call it a "dumpity dump truck"? Appreciate you watching as always sir.

Haha! Thanks Vince! It works great for me most of the time.

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

@Bentlee Fabian instablaster :)

@Juan Tate thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Juan Tate It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass !

Works like a charm!

I think you're right. All about those chains and finding the right speed. Thanks for the kind words. I hope you enjoy part 2 with a great truck driver. DP is good also!

Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching.

This is one of my favorite things to do!

Love it Mr. Koch! Thanks for the kind words and appreciate hearing about your method with the rotaryhoe.

Thanks a lot Henry. I enjoy trying to get better at it all the time.

He is a great fella!

Ha! I get that a lot on here! :)

Thanks Captain! I've never had a two-parter before so I can only imagine folks will be hosting watch parties for the 2nd half 😂. Appreciate you checking it out.

Captain Kleeman captain should we plan to bring apps or dessert to the watching party? And are you still lactose intolerant or are you over that now?

JasonWorksAlot the cookie dough ice cream is worth the consequence

Captain Kleeman excellent I’ll try to get another 5 gallon bucket of it like last time then.

This is like the Bachelor Finale all over again...

We always put water down with the first rain that comes afterwards :) I know what you mean though. Would be nice to roll it when it gets put down but with the washed stone it isn't so bad on top. Thanks so much for checking out the videos! I saw you comment on several of them and I appreciate it!

@@digdrivediy yes sir! And I'm very much into your content.

That's the 2nd best kept secret in driveway edging!! Still a good choice 😂 Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jason! I schedule a lot of my work for Somedays. I'll pencil you in. 😂

Neil Koch: Dig-Drive-DIY excellent! I’ll add it to my calendar as well then! I usually book all new customers to “yesterday” but maybe you’re on to something!

Not sure on the pond in this video as I didn't have anything to do with it. But, maybe my brother's pond some day cause I did dig that one. Maybe that's the one you're referring to though.

Thanks for your feedback Tom. I totally agree with you and I have been trying to figure it out. I made a real effort this time to normalize the audio and found that once it is loaded to KZfaq it sounds completely different than what I hear locally on my PC after making the video. Another thing I've noticed is that the music tends to be louder when watching on a TV rather than on the computer or PC. On the next video I'm going to crank down the music levels even more and hopefully I can get it straightened out. Please let me know if I make any improvements cause I'm right there with you, it's annoying when the dang music is so loud. Thanks for watching and exercising your volume button with me!

Appreciate it Greg! I don't like to point out the follies of others. Accidents happen ya know. On another completely unrelated subject; do you have a mirror in your house? 😂

That edge got attacked by a wild Bobcat that was running loose in the area! Witnesses observed the Bobcat running in reverse too close to the edge and his stubby tail was dragging the ground. He was shewed off the premises :) Thanks for watching!

Part 2 will be next week, 10/3/2020. I hope you come back to check it out!

@@digdrivediy I will

@@digdrivediy btw that trailer with the places for the back hoe bucket is cool 😎 👌

@@ryanhenry9826 Thanks for catching that little tid bit! I had to do that in order to make the backhoe fit on this trailer. Seems to work pretty well.

I've always wanted to try one of those. I don't know if I would have the patience to run it very long though 😂 Thanks for watching!

Hi James. Thanks for the question. No, in my experience it doesn't really do any good. Are you talking in terms of weed control? The weeds we see most commonly in the driveway around here, such as common purslane, grown in the top 1" of the limestone. Do you use it? Thanks for watching!

@@digdrivediy in Florida we use it for stabilization and some localities require it for ‘environmental’ as well. when you put dressing rock on sand and drive on it you would be amazed how fast it disappears into the sand. I like your sod cutter idea. nice, clean edges really enhance the final appearance. you do nice work. my company does a lot of that kind of stuff here in Florida-bobcats mini excavators.

@@jamesweir2943 Oh, I see. Fortunately or unfortunately for us, we have very heavy clay based soils in our area that provide a very stable base. It is great for road beds, ponds or basements but terrible for drainage, septic systems or anything you wish to grow. We generally have about 8-12" of topsoil above the subsoil. We can just remove the topsoil and then build upon the clay. We even pour concrete on the virgin clay. The soil types change drastically as you go north into Michigan as it is all glacial till that is a literal mixture of all soil types, sand and gravel. I could certainly see the benefit of the ground barrier in the sand and other non stable conditions. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the kind words and great topic of discussion.

As long as you remove the topsoil and organic material it shouldn't grow grass through the stones at all. If you put stones on top of the grass then they would grow through eventually for sure.

I debate that option too. Some people like music with it, some people don't. I try to do a little of both in the videos to balance it out. It would be interesting to do a poll to see what the majority of folks think. The music is really hard to choose in my opinion also so it's always a source of worry for me. I never use the same song twice. The reason for the music is that much of the time lapses and all of the drone video does not usually have accompanying audio, so usually I do it when there is no sound to put in underneath it. Personally I don't like the sound of sped up audio so I prefer the music. Maybe if I get the music turned down it won't be as bad to have in there. Thanks again for watching and letting me know. I value the opinion of the subs and strive to always make these better. Take care.

Thanks James. I'll invite you to try some of my newer videos and see if the audio is any better. I did finally upgrade the mics about a year or so ago.
