@ssaunders2k 2 жыл бұрын

Doing a full renovation after killing off lawn due to too much poa. Could have done with a lanzie spreader. Got 12 bags of dobbies "lawn dressing" and it was full of lumps of clay, twigs, stones, shredded plastic and even a few bits of glass. Sieving it by hand was soul destroying, but the lute was brilliant after that. Cold temps so slow growing, but starting to show signs it's going to look good. Got your dark green lawn and seaweed plus as well, how long should I wait before starting to use those ... new seed has been showing tips for at least 3 weeks now.

Thanks for trying the products! You can use the seaweed plus now and repeat monthly the dark green lawn use when grass is established and you are cutting it as its a powerful feed

Hi Matt, scarified my lawn a few weeks back (power raked) seeded and put down start fertiliser. Front lawn looking lush but back garden parts are lush like the top and 2 sides are lush but main slope and bottom of lawn has alot of Yorkshire fog in it. The scarifier I used (ellinhell same as your old one) I used the power rake attachment do you think next time I should use the scarifier attachment (thick blades) to take out the Yorkshire fog grasses, sort of scared to use that incase it turns my lawn into a mud bath! I like the idea of making those tracks which in turn good for seed and fertiliser and air and water to get in. Trying to get a mainly ryegrass lawn. Going to cut lawn at weekend after putting on a spring treatment down last week. Will send pics after cut and upload to your page.

@GardenLawncareGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Graham cheers for that. Yes the fixed blades are best for seeding in my opinion as they hit the soil profile. If you can dig out the fog, spray to kill or if you are careful I have killed parts of it by using a small paintbrush with killer on the leaves. It will spread aggressively over time. You can scarify it and knock it back but it will not go away

I did exactly the same as this last year. I got rid of (dug out) most of the weed grasses. I then over seeded with a high quality rye grass mix only to have more Poa this year. How can you guarantee that the seed your using does not contain weed grass seeds?

@junyau340 2 жыл бұрын

Seeds from poa annua can be dropped and lay dormant for years. Doing renovations on your lawn opens up the soil and allows these seeds to germinate. With a full rye lawn, you'll inevitably have winter die back as rye needs a lot of sun, this die back causes thinning of the sward allowing more dominant grasses to grow. Also because rye is a single plant rather than a stoleniferous plant like fescue or bent it does not fill in these bare patches. So can you guarantee no poa seeds in your grass seed mix? I don't know. But it's likely that your lawn has poa seeds laying dormant waiting for the right conditions.

@GardenLawncareGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Because the seed is sampled, certified and regulated. Just today I had a government inspector visit the warehouse. Grass seed is a heavily regulated and controlled industry more so than you would ever imagine from the outside. I am proud to be fully liscenced and stock high quality seeds which are sampled to the highest standards
