That manure is the shit

I had a customer who every so often would clean out their pond and spread the pond muck on their lawn, I thought they were busy but Christ did that grass grow fast after. Great job and thanks for the video.

Great Video and informative in an old fashioned simple way.... Without any obnoxious music or drumbeats, etc! Love it, thanks!!

Compost is like black gold to a lawn. It’s amazing

Looks awesome. If you want it to be even greener add a little iron. It'll make it a darker green and sort of acts like a sunscreen in stressed times. Try it you'll like it.

I’m in Tulare county, totally true with soil. I’m working on my yard we just moved into a new construction home. Thanks for the help

Thank you for the great tip! Put some manure over some dead areas in my lawn and man what a difference. Cheaper yet most effective way to bring back the life of Bermuda. Manure, Scotts and Milorganite!

I use Milorganite also, just started last year. Trying to maintain a nice lawn without chemicals. Curious as to which Scotts product you use?

This has to be the #1 lawn improvement before/after video I have seen on KZread. Awesome job man! I had my yard composted today (San Antonio, TX). I'm hoping for the same results. Simular story, clay soil, compacted, contractor tore the soil up building the homes in this area 15 years ago and the ground is still struggling. However, I enjoy a challenge. 😉

Heather Sowell - Hi Heather. The service I used did a good job, but I may do it myself next time. It will be cheaper and great exercise. The service I used: Eco Lawn San Antonio (Brad Walser is the owner - great guy btw). Call him @ (210) 316-9444. The bottom line is I wanted to stimulate my soil with micro organisms and he delivered. He used a compost that's high in "nutrients" (manure based.. lol) and my grass responded VERY well. I have a variety of grasses; Bermuda and St Augustine. The Burmuda was the greenest I have ever seen it... the St Augustine... not so much. I expect that the extra Phosphorus has a better impact on the Bermuda. I could go on-and-on because it is my pet project. If you have any additional questions let me know and good luck! 😃

I get the same reactions from my wife. Total disbelief! Then... amazement at the results. You'd think she'd stop doubting.

this is awesome. I'm going to do the same to my lawn here in the Northeast this week.

Wow! The results of a beautiful lawn w/ no detaching, no aerating nor reseeding!...it almost hard to believe! Well... One thing we do have in Puerto Rico, is MANURE. I'm on it KG, Thanks!

Organic cow manure is a great supply of nitrogen. I've been using it on my lawn and the results are very good: a darker green lawn, healthier grass plants and good growth - requiring more frequent mowing. That's how I like it. The manure smell isn't noticeable after a couple of days.

Wow, that is amazing, can't beat manure. Looks great!

Pretty cool Sir! I added compost early this week also but wish I had that wheel to spread it.

That's the exact reason why I bought that spreader. Years ago I spread manure and ended up with sticks/rocks/clumps/etc. That spreader did the trick on keeping it clean.

Good work and good job on a time-lapse my dad's lawn when I lived in Bakersfield to do exactly the same thing responded really well to manure but don't be afraid to Super over fertilize it because you can't kill that stuff and then it will have lots of fertilizer so I sometimes double or even triple the normal fertilizer. This is the proper way to dominate your Neighbors lawn especially artificial turf!

Awesome man, great job!!!

Nice work looks great

Have the same problem here in florida. Very sandy poor soil. Awesome video I think you have convinced me I need to spread my whole 2 acre yard. 😂

We did this to a country home with horse manure from the neighboring horse barn onto plain dirt with grass seed. Can I tell you... It stunk heavy for about a week, but a month went by and it was the freshest greenest grass I've seen for a while...

I had to laugh when you mentioned not telling your wife about spreading manure on your lawn. My Dad was to buy steer manure to fertilize the lawn but instead bought and spread chicken manure. Oooops!! Neighbours 10 zip codes away could smell it. It took a long time for him to live that down...this happened decades ago and still makes me chuckle.

Great story. I made that mistake once. It took weeks for the smell to go away.

I have been considering doing this to amend my soil. Areas are dry and dusty, lacking organic material. I have been considering manure hoping it might open up the soil a bit. Our climate in West Texas is nearly identical to Bakersfield. We get a bit more rain, but you guys can water more often. Because of the similarities, your video has been super helpful and it has convinced me to go ahead. Unfortunately I happened to mention it to my wife already...

Nice to see a lawn tutorial from a California resident. I just fertilized and seeded my lawn with steer manure three days ago as it's cooling down here in So Cal. Not sure how often to water, but I knew I had to keep it moist initially so I may have broken the law, as I've watered for three days. I'll give it a break for the next couple days.

Looks awesome 👍

I'll have to give this a try next year.

Bermuda grass sucks in the winter, but usually pops right back as soon as the weather warms up again. I’ve found while it’s heat tolerant, it does like water too. Having said that, I hated it. It grows sideways and I have to constantly edge it.

We have a heavy clay based soil in Texas. Did you aerate or just mow prior to laying the manure? I am thinking about aerating then manure next spring.

now if you want to make that lawn super green and lush, water with Grey water from your laundry washing machine, instead of wasting it down the drain. the discharge does wonders to any landscaping, gardens etc.

This just proves what is right and more economically sound instead of buying pallets of sod no matter what type of grass you want to grow always works with manure you will have weeds but it can be controlled
