Plus the modern Webb has plastic cylinder bearing housings. Type restoring qualcast super lite panther in you tube, and you will see terror bear has a video of him totally stripping the same mower as yours down, and sandblasting it, painting it, and he changes the five blade cylinder to a ten blade. I can't find a ten blade anywhere, but if I could, would swap the cylinder out in my 1960's super panther from a five to ten cylinder.

I've seen the mention 🥰🥰🥰
Ohh bummer that mate. I had the same disaster two years back.. I feel you✌️ I do look forward to see the garden makeover mate.
Got a few things coming up and the lawn may have to wait a bit longer. Working around the lawn doing other things so it would be crazy to do the lawn first. Going to be building wooden planters and other things. 🙂
Ah no! Hope that polly tunnel can be repaired mate. Im keeping an eye out for tips and tricks on Dahlias for this year.
Polly tunnel is done mate. I use 50% seaweed enhanced compost and 50% topsoil in my pots with an inch of stones in the bottom for good drainage. 😉
That spear and Jackson unit has done a good job, I got the bosch avr1100 verticutter, and also a hand held unit on wheels, but it is hatd graft doing it manually by hand, so prefer to use my electric bosch. Looks like from the first picture you have a decent mower also that gives good stripes. Think all lawn care enthusiasts like ourselves just cant wait for Winter to pass, so we can start getting back out on the lawns properly, and getting them to wimbledon centre court standard😂
I use an old push mower like you. 🙂
@@GardeningOnALowBudget fantastic, they are the best, nothing can come close to them in terms of build quality and the engineering. Such a shame that hardly anything is made in factories here in the U.K anymore. What make and model is your push mower?
Going to look lovely when fully established, what date did you overseed and what type of seed? The video is dated two months ago, so you seeded in November if filmed close to the video date? I would have thought it would be too cold that time of year for it to germinate.
Over seeding was done with cheap seed as a test. It will be done better come March - April.
@@GardeningOnALowBudget ah right, that's good to hear as many cheap seeds are just annual varieties that die off after a year anyway, they are not perennials. There are so many different types of seeds available, but your lawn looks well exposed, so no risk of lack of sunlight there due to shading from buildings, fences etc.
My lawn does get a lot of moss but that is easy taken care of. I will be renovating it in spring and seeding with Johnsons premier pitch lawn seed. 🙂
@@GardeningOnALowBudget yeah iron easily sees to moss, being up in Scotland with the cold and wet constantly, not surprised you get a lot of moss through Winter, you don't have a Scottish accent, can detect a little Somerset or Devon in your accent. Get a video up of you old push cylinder mower👍
I was born in Reading Berkshire. Moved to Scotland in 2009. 🙂
Beautiful but cold days!
We got snow here just now. 🥶
@@GardeningOnALowBudget we just keep getting ice on ice!!!
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub We had about 6 inches last night. and we got light rain just now but we're meant to get more snow coming. 🥶
Fabulous Brian you really have green thumb! Love your garden❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. :)
Watching this made me think about what you did with all the flowers you got from those bulbs! 😉 We'll see them all again next year!
The Gladioli ended up in a Vase for my lovely wife. :)
Looking forward for the new update on this next year mate. I really like your lawn!! Easy to manage size with nice squarish shape and perfectly flat 👌
Nice 1 one, Merry Christmas to you too🍻✌️
Have a good one. 🙂
Hi I really like your videos😀😀
Thank you. 🙂
Slowly getting there mate, I can see this will look amazing in the late Spring. Your edging is mint btw 😮👌👌
Thank you. Yes i love my edging. I was a landscaper in my 20s. 😉
I cant wait to see this on here in spring 2024!!
Thank you. Me too. 😉
Dahlias looking very pretty. I need to plant some in spring! 100% agree to fleecing, at any time of the year, just to keep the moisture in, and birds out!
Thank you for watching. Yes i love my Dahlias and my Gladioli. I'm storing them in the attic in our bunglow this year as i had to start all over again with new ones this year as i lost them all to last years -10c temptures.
You are such a kind soul, lovely garden too 🏵
Just going to say, you have plenty of punters there for a free buffet!!
Theres always loads of pigeons around here.
Nice and informative video. At first when I saw your lawns picture I was like.. wow it bounced back super quick😂🤙 Good choice of music, nice and pleasant in the background 👌
Thank you for your kind words. 😉Lawn picture was from last year lol. Also most of the plants got killed in last years frost of -10. 😥
@@GardeningOnALowBudget Yeah I realised at the end of the video. I had the very same green house and last year all my outdoor palms died :(
@@mushy_GLX Are you also in the UK ? I lost two Palms also. We are in Scotland. 😉
Is the orange one a type of Dahlia?
Yes all the orange one's are types of Dahlia. I got most of my tubers from Home Bargins. 😉
There's a work out and a half!
Yeah not doing that again now I have a sacrifice. Lol
Amazing how much came out
Love all the flowers 🥀💮
What seed did you use? Well at least you did not have to aerate 😂🤙
Nothing special about the seed. Just some cheap stuff. Next year i will be giving the lawn a realley good makeover with some A1 Lawn - Platinum Pro (Without Rye) or i quite like the look of the Johnsons J Premier Pitch. Next year i will do the compost and fleecing also. 🙂
I mainly wanted to try out the scarifier and get the moss and thatch out before winter.
@@GardeningOnALowBudget I think either way you cant go wrong. I would go with Johnsons tho as I have used A1 Pro 8 Luxury seeds and Johnsons seemed far superior in looks and quick germination as well. Cannot comment on platinum pro tho but people who I know used them are quite happy with the lawn.
@@GardeningOnALowBudget Looking forward seen your lawn next year about May time✌️
Sweet edging. Never stops surprising how much staff comes off the lawn. Looking nice actually, I no its not green but to be at this stage is good. Some fertilizers will get everything back. Nice and flat as well. 👍
Going to put some fertilizer ect on it soon. It wasn't that long ago i did a weed and feed.
Great to see, nature clearing up the leather jackets for you. I imagine its quite noisy in the morning!
It's not that bad in the morning. It's noisy in the afternoon when their gathering ready to find a roosting place. Thank you for taking the time to view my video. :)
So many birds 🐦
I was gonna say the same! 🐦
Think you need fleece! 😂
I think you might have a leatherjackets mate. I had on mine and we had an invasion from Starlings. Dag all my lawn, came down in packs and I could see they were working in groups. I know it may sound crazy but one never dug a hole, was watching others like a supervisor or something 😂 but on a positive note I did not need to aerate the lawn afterwards :)
If you see crane flies over your lawn thats one of the signs.
@@philgornall I will be doing that next year. 👍
You've done an awesome job on the lawn 👍
Thanks 👍
