Thank you for the information. I'll give this a try.

I've seen this process described in old farming books for speeding the sprouting of wheat and barley. They piled it and raked it to monitor the moisture level. You do have to plant AS SOON AS you start seeing a nub of sprout or you can lose the whole batch of seed. It works well in the really dry parts of the USA, decreasing the amount of time you need to water many times a day.

Thanks for the video!

I've been doing this for years. Never heard of Moon dust??? I Just dampen the seed mix it in with black dirt and Sand.., put it into a pile and cover it for a couple days minimum.. size depends on how big of an area I do..... I have used Up to 150 pounds of seeds in 2 yards of dirt for 1/2 acre lawns. I prep the area with sand and black dirt mixed well. Fertilize with milarginite... Then I use a good heavy duty broadcast spreader with a metal agitator to spin out the pre germinated mixture.... Spread it heavily as possible rake it in water it down and in three days it's popping up and looking green. But it's really not necessary to go through all that extra work unless you are trying to impress someone??? Because it only takes 7 days for the same thing to happen by just planting the fresh dry seeds in properly prepared ground.... When using fresh dry seed the number one tip I can give you for a beautiful long lasting low maintenance yard is by planting it with a blue bird slit seeder in a criss cross pattern. Use milarginite and keep the soil damp until you see green..... Planting grass is much more satisfying than laying sod and it's the best lawn you will ever have...

I recommend using a small sheet of chip board as a tamping tool. I did it today and it made the lawn super flat. I did the march of penguins afterward for better compaction but wasnt really necessary

What was the process like? you had one plywood board 2' x 2' stepped on it, moved over and stepped again? I was warned by others that compacting is not good for a new lawn because they saw me using a roller. I hate bumps!

I you can mix wet seed with an organic or biological fertilizer like Milorganite. Mix it right together and the seeds sticks to the Milorganite and it will spread in a spreader.

Nice to see he was on cue at the beginning. Although if you use something else to stir it with, you'll be snookered. My Scottish friend enjoyed this video, he's Grasswegian. He once ruined someone's lawn by playing football on it. Nearly got away with it, but someone grassed him up. I'll stop with the jokes now, before I get turfed off.

What is the purpose of the plastic sheet underneath the sand that is left there, does that interfere when heavy rains happen? Also what type of grass do you usually use for all your clients? Love the videos by the way !!!

What does the moon dust do? Does it spike growth. And does the tarp help to create a greenhouse effect to help it sprout? Doesn't it need sunlight to entice it to grow.

Thanks for the video. Does it take longer for the seed to germinate without the "moon dust" or did you just add that to make the grass stronger and it will still germinate in the same timescale without it?

@rickcross7888

9 ай бұрын

No you don't need moon dust if you have a properly prepared surface. Black dirt mixed with sand and milarginite only for fertilizer. If you pre germinate the seed it is green within three days. No need to cover it up with plastic unless it's going to rain hard but most people check the weather forecast before hand? But the pre germinated seeds can be more difficult to spread so you are better off if you are doing a larger area to properly prepare your ground and use fresh dry seed and a broadcast spreader or slit seeder... Keep the soil moist and it will give you the same results in seven days......

you can use whatever you want to stir it but I like a snooker que 😂😂

well the front wheels would dig in no doubt and when you came to turn the roller would just kick up what youve just compacted and soil would get in the diff and damage the mower, plus i love the graft and the leg work out, you cant get the same compaction with a roller as it spreads the weight , there is more force being exerted in a heel in a smaller area than a heavy roller over a bigger one

Also if the temperatures reach slightly higher than 25 in the day would they be a problem or would I just have to water a lot more during those more warmer days?
