The rain will have a effected it. I just can’t believe everyone’s luck. We just need some dry weather. I know you will get your lawn back.

That top lawns coming along great compared to how it was. We've finally got a run of good weather where I am in Scotland so can get out and do my renovation tomorrow, gonna be back breaking but worth it if it sorts the lawn out and stops the dogs bringing in the equivalent of the sahara desert in mud every day !

Love the experimentation. Looking forward to seeing the fescue/bent seeding video. I’m 8 days in, no germination yet.

Dont under sell yourself big man, you are doing a great job, especially as an amateur. Your information and application are good. I would fleece as others have said and or get kids windmills that should keep those fat Doo's away Lol. Keep up the good work.

Agree re Lawn Association. Learned a lot from them. Subbed as I'm interested to see the bent/fescue lawn (inspired by the LA). I'm planning on renovating a rye lawn with a similar mix later in spring.

@NoviceGardener

Ай бұрын

Cheers 👍🏻 Good luck with the renovation too!

I've also reseeded a couple of times this year already, just being impatient of course. Right now we are having some cooler temps again, begin of May seems better again in our parts of the world (I'm in the Netherlands, seems very similar in temps as UK, we are neighbors after all). Personally I'm considering using Tall Fescue at some point, seems more popular in the US than over here but its popularity is slowly growing I think. Also nice hearing about the Lawn Association, I came across it last year as well. I do also like Rye grass because its shiny & grows fast, but yes it will thin out. Especially winters seem quite unforgiving depending on the circumstances.

@NoviceGardener

You're right about temps. They look to be creeping up next week as start to get close to May. And I agree about rye - I quite like the aesthetic of it. But like you said, winter just does a number on it!

Literally been watching you for 2 years now. Always jealous of your lawns. Keep up the great work. Your content is a great watch.

If you have some I’d get some garden fleece on both those lawns! Mine has been 2 weeks in the back. Watering every day and have great germination. The fleece seems to keep it moist and imagine slightly warmer creating a good growing environment. The neighbours will think you’re mad but well worth it. Will also keep the birds 🦅 off !!

@NoviceGardener

Ай бұрын

I did this last year with the lawn at the bottom and germination was perfect - food for thought for next time I think! And to be fair, they'll already think I'm mad with the fence at the bottom! 😅

The temperatures are still fairly cool at the moment about 10 or 12 degrees and really low at night. You may have been better putting some fleece over the lawn to assist germination and keep the birds off. I’m going to wait a week or so and see if it gets warmer before I overseed.

@NoviceGardener

Ай бұрын

Nice one! I did consider this, but the year before it faired quite well through the winter. I'm planning to leave it a touch longer once we get to the back end of autumn this time! But if the bottom lawn goes well, this may very well become bent/fescue 👍🏻

Not sure about the bent grass but the fescue seems to be underused in the UK. It is prob the number one turf grass in America for good reason.

@NoviceGardener

Ай бұрын

Both bent and fescue are. Lots of them up and down the country. I'm not expert, but it must just be how they can multiple easily.

I follow all your videos. I’m just putting this out there if ok? I am disabled and my wife does our lawns. I bought a new Allett Stirling 51 mower, c/w 10A battery and rapid charger, also Allett grooved roller and also the attachment that can be used to put on QC cartridges and will fit the mower above. In all £4,600. This is 2 weeks old, never used, never been on concrete etc and so no roller scratches. It’s on carpet in my garage. I was diagnosed with cancer same day delivered 2 weeks ago, also my wife diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. This means with no real garden workers in my area and I know have never used a mower like this new Stirling, do you know of anyone looking for a Rolls Royce Mower, as you know by using one. I know I will lose money but if it went to a good home, I can accept that. I’m devastated by all this and a 2 week old mower with 2 years warranty registration with Allett complete. Would you or a customer be looking for one? I’m not letting a guy use it to ruin on my stone work around my lawns and will stick with old Allett Kensington. There is no other reason for selling and all genuine. I have all paperwork and letters confirming my cancer and that I've been bedbound for 8 years, and that my wife was cutting the lawns. I'm not sure what it will get price wise, but the company who sold, won't take it back and Allett won't either.

Ай бұрын

22nd March was when I first over seeded. The seed that germinated did well thankfully, it was just the stuff in the thinnest areas and around the perimeter.

First you’re good with lawns and you’re working on a garden that ain’t the best to maintain cause of the shade. Watch lawntips, Daniel Hibbet, Ryan Knorr or the Gingerpest if you’ve not come across them before.

@NoviceGardener

Ай бұрын

There is a lot of good stuff out there. I think my situation is a tad different with it being so enclosed. It's just finding the right grass type that will thrive. If the bent/fescue on the bottom tier goes well, it may be something I do up on this lawn too.

Mate do you have good drainage ? I'm in Aust so I have no clue about weather and rain you guys cop but if I have that lawn here First thing I would do is address the drainage even the garden beds look like mud.

@NoviceGardener

Ай бұрын

Drainage is quite poor with the lawn being quite clay heavy. I've improved it down the bottom with a drain, but the plan moving forward is to hollow tine aerate multiple times a year, particularly when we get to autumn/winter.

Should be good when it pops up and we get some sun! Still soggy here so I've been forking it and spreading sawdust - normally what we do when a cricket pitch is wet. Keep the updates coming and take care!
