Just rent one for $10 a day. That way you dont have to store or maintain it, and you could rent one 30 times, before you would pay for it outright, that is 15-30 years of overseeding.

Ginja, there’s a better way. Use your seed spreader first to evenly see the yard then roll your peat moss over the top of it. Seed distribution is more even that way. Usually I slice the peat moss bag wide open and use a shovel to break up in the bag and shovel it into the spreader. If you really like that wheel barrow you can mix a little top soil into the peat moss but the key here is to seed first with a seed spreader then roll the moss over the top. This helps keep in moisture, germination, and lastly it hides the seed from birds... good luck

Great video; I have a compost spreader and love it. The only issue I have with mixing peat moss and grass seed is you don’t get to roll the seed in. I’m a big proponent of rolling ever since I noticed that spots I stepped on always came in better than spots I didn’t. Rolling peat moss never works out, you want to roll the seed first. I usually water the night before to get the soil soft and moist, use a rake to scuff up the soil that day, spread the seed, spray with tenacity, roll it, and then finialy apply peat moss with a compost spreader. I then spray lightly with a fine mist to lock down peat moss, then water again really well. One last tip, is that you can use a razor to cut the peat moss bales in half. A large bale cut in half loads perfectly in the spreader. No need to shovel it in. It makes it go by much quicker.

What is the mix ratio between soil/Pete and grass seed that you mix in the wheel barrel?

Good demo for both products. Either one would work for me. Makes peat moss a viable option for top dressing. A couple of weeks ago I over-seeded with a medium of vermiculite/composted steer manure (3-1 ratio). Neighbors loved the smell.... Made the mistake of applying it at the beginning of a 90 degree to 100 degree heat wave, but the water holding property of vermiculite worked out well for this case. Germination rate has been excellent.

LOL I bet your neighbors loved you hahaha. well done on slaying that lawn!

I've had the Landzie for a couple seasons now. I usually lightly rake a cross hatch pattern after spreading. That takes care of most of those gaps. The other weakness it has is slopes. You will need to roll directly up or down the slope. If you roll across the slope, the material will fall to the downhill side in the barrel and spread unevenly left to right. All that said, you definitely hit the nail on the head with the latches and the filtering. The Landzie shines with those. I hadn't thought of adding the seed to the top dressing. That's a killer idea. Too late this season, but I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Hey Ninja, I was in the same predicament, did not want to spend too much money on a peat moth spreader so I bought the cheaper one for $160 plus free shipping. I also noticed the cheap lock that came with it so I ordered a luggage latch from Amazon for $4 and just welded it on and it works fine.

Dude, so Landzie sends the competitors product that they obviously pushed off the back of a truck a few dozen times to wreck it. Talking about the packaging and the paint job like it's a new one. The sell out curve for the ginja has been steep.

“ might” is the key word. Once I get the lawn going I’m not going to need a spreader again. Same thing for having a trailer or a pickup truck. Too bad rental places near me don’t offer peat spreaders. 😢

The spreaders are a game changer. I used it for peat moss and while I won't bother buying one to have to store it, I was able to rent an abused one from HD. Even with the latch being a PITA it saved me so much time. I will never not use one, twice a year... lol It definitely made for a more efficient application.

I think the test on cement where the gap between the ground and spreader expanded metal is small amplified the lines. On grass it would be less an issue . You didn't show how you emptied the big chunks? The crap compost you can get these days has so much coarse uncompleted crap it makes you worry that the pile didnt get hot enough to kill weed seeds. It seems mixing the seeds in with compost has many problems. Your mixing in such a full wheel barrow surely didnt get a good mix. The seeds can be on top or middle of the compost layer. Peat seems to flow so much with even a slight slope during watering your seeds ate not going to cover very evenly. The seeds on top will dry out so quickly. Best to use hand spreader for the seed which is easy. Then cover with the compost spreader. Your lawn has so many bare spots? You mow your putting green grass so low and not level? My lawns have never needed seeding except in trouble spots. Tell us how planting all this competing grass helps the old grass? I think you need to do a screening test on all the big box products and reveal how poor they are. My home compost never has those fresh looking small wood chips. I think these compost places are mixing in these wood chips in near the end of composting to stretch their products.

Hey elkski! Really appreciate the comment. I trashed my back yard from my spring leveling project. I had soo many contractors coming this summer so there wasn't any incentive to fix any of it until after the boarder edgers, trees, landscapers and sprinkler repairs were made. As for the large area in the back that is sparse and bald...... I have mostly shade. The mazama grass seed I'm using is pushing really well. Nothing else will grow there due to the amount of shade. Has nothing to do with mowing low. my front yard is thicker than most peoples and I mow it at .6". As for the compost spreader. Yes I over applied the peat moss in the barrell. shows better for the camera. I spent more time than showed on camera mixing the grass seed in. it mixed really well. shockingly the peat doesn't clump as much as you'd think once you mix it. Once the peat is wet it sticks to the grass seed. People have been doing this method for years because it works. There is a trade off though. Peat inherintly can be a tad acidic. so areas that have lower ph will commonly have to use lime when they do an application of peat and seed. There's also no compost wood chips in peat moss which is a huge benefit. If you're using cheap top soil like I demonstrated, there will be wood chips in most bags. I hate to say it but the miracle grow product in the blue bag was the best. spread soo nicely. If i were to do a 50 50 blend I would use that and the peat moss.

id say the peak won. less gaps and i would want the chucks in my yard. that's extra organic material that would break down over time. i dont like the clamps on either, i use big leather gloves and those latches looked troublesome. Are you not going to mention the size difference. less filling up with the bigger one. you kept hammering the finish, but how many people care they have a perfect finish, it sounded like you just needed something to be better since they gave you stuff. now, do your civic duty and order your own Peak to see if when you buy it, it has a better finish to make sure nothing was rigged.

The argument is the sticks in the lawn become a pain in the butt. they always float to the top, causes problems with the mowers as well and getting one in the foot is always a pain.

Oh Ginja !!! I am very happy that you did this product review and right on your driveway on top of that, that was awesome. I always wanted one also but same as you, the price is kind of stop me in my tracks. On Amazon, the Landzie (same model you tested) is priced at $499.99 CAD and the shipping fee is $35.00 CAD. And Landzie has also a tow behind model, which is 44” wide and priced at $699.99 CAD with the same shipping fee of $35.00. Now that is very interesting, especially for larger lawn. The other brand that is available on Amazon, as I can see, is a Seymour 85755 priced at $365.56 CAD but it looks like to be smaller in size at 24” x 18”. Thanks again for another great lawn equipment video Ginja, and GREAT Pro Tip by mixing the seeds and peat-moss together, 😉☝️😎, I will remember that one for sure. Have an amazing day buddy 👍👍.

That looks like the way to go for overseeding. I just did my overseeding and I put all the peat moss down by hand. This method looks way, way better. Really, if you are going to be overseeding twice a year, every year, this seems like a worthwhile investment.
