Gives me some motivation to begin on my new Lakeside lot. Thanks for the morale boost.

Curious, where does this creek bed drain into?

I hate nimblewill, only grass killer works on it (tried many things through the years). Had to kill off half my yard in Gahanna this year (2024) and replant. Used the HomeDepot slice seeder to prepare the soil, and then had to rake a lot of the dead grass out (too much to leave on even after mowing low). I manually through seed down since you can't trust the drop box on the rental seeder, then I ran over the yard again with the slicer to cover it the seed up. Came in pretty good and survived the hot dry summer this year.

Any issues with aerator

Gly pho sate. He never said it 😅

You are so right when you discovered an old tree had been removed there. Remaining tree roots decay over time and cause trouble for turf season after season later. Decomposing tree roots get hot in the summer and also cause lack of oxygen which roots need to survive. Rocks also arent helping either.

I was told manually pulling actually exasperates it by breaking the stolon's which aggressively generates new growth and also drops the seeds. Advised NOT to aerate for the same reasons.

Wonderful, exactly what I needed to fix my current sprinkler problem.

In addition to your suspicion about the over fertilization (or fertilizing when it's hot out), I could have sworn I saw some curved burn lines around the lamp post area. I've had so many issues when customers fertilize themselves, they trace their yard and anytime there are small areas, obstacles, or curves, this leaves burn lines in the area.

Is it necessary to aerate and slit seed? Can you just slit seed?

A quick question I just finished doing my lawn. There seems to be a lot of thatch. I did detach but there’s still was a bunch after the seeding process. What do I do?

Very helpful. I have zoisha which is capable of creating a bed more than 4 inches deep. While it’s great for weed control, the sprinklers are almost always blocked. Originally I tried adding risers underneath the existing 4” heads but then the body sticks out of the dirt and the mower breaks the very riser I added. I hesitated adding these because I thought I’d have to cut the PVC but your video made me realize I just need to add a flex pipe. As a cherry on top you showed the side port so even that will be easier. Few people think to post videos with simple solutions like this. Thanks for the extra effort!

If the homeowners can afford it-maybe replace a Starbucks with a 50 lb Rock once a week, in 20 weeks she’ll have a drain opening with no erosion at the head.😊

So this is where Bush went. Howdy Mr. President.

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to connect the barb connector to the hose without heat or is that a futile effort? I don't own a torch or heat gun. Thanks!

Looks great except for the landscape fabric that's not needed

Very good video. Only thing I would add is to wet the area around the head and let it sit a few minutes before unscrewimg the old head. Then sediment wont fall down in the hole and it will stay like a tube.

Hello. Love the video, very informative. I’ve just recently moved into a 2 acres house and now I have a plan/ strategy to fix my lawn. Thanks

At 10:10 you could've just put the nozzle back on with the water running so we could have some fun, lol. You could've mentioned that the riser may need to be FPT to MPT (as in this case) or MPT to MPT, depending on the installation method used. The system I installed 30 years ago was using 3/4 inch PVC pipe with 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 FPT tees, so the risers threaded directly into FPT of the tees. I wasn't aware of installations utilizing swing pipe in the early 90's.

Did you excavate a few inches or so before you put in the fabric and cobble?

Very informative. What cool season seed do you like? What would you use for an all sun non irrigated cool season lawn?

The moral of the story boys and girls. Just do it right the first time and dig to the junction youre working with. Works every time, the first time, and you stay lots drier and less muddy!😂😂😂😂😂

Good tips. I have a huge dead area between me and my neighbor. I’m guessing I have a buried sprinkler head on my side. Hopefully its on my side

VERY nice, exquisitely clear video, thanks

Your videos are verry informative, especially for novices like me. But, Dude, get a tripod! Watching your videos gives me a headache with all the shaking of the camera. Other than that, keep up the good work and good information.

Awesome video!! Huge help. Thank you!

Landscape fabric, BOO!

How many days after I put up manuer on soil can I start plant lucern seed

What's a ballpark figure something does something like this cost? I need a 100 yard long 7 foot wide creek just like this.

Great video. I’m curious about the amount of seed I would need to purchase for slice seeding as apposed to over seeding. I’m doing an acre with about 50% grass coverage.

Is it worth it to mix tall fescue with KBG bc of the ability to repair itself? I have 2.5 acres and I feel like it’s difficult to keep overseeing my fescue lawn

Do u recommend doing part tall fescue/kbg vs all tall fescue?? How does a mixture have to be taken care of differently? I need to seed my mainly fescue lawn but wanted to introduce kbg bc it can fix itself. Thanks!

The rocks is the issue here. I had a septic repair and they brought “topsoil” full of rocks. Anywhere that was rocks, the rock would get hot and kill the grass all around it. Make sure topsoil u get is screened for rocks of 1/2” or less

How many tons of rock were used?

What is the name of the hand tool that you are using?

where can you buy these PGP long heads? Can only find PGJ being sold?

That does look great but in a hard rain that pretty rock is going in the woods costing the landowner alot of waste money

How do you determine the slice seeder blade height?

How’s this machine holding up? Still making you money or did you switch to something else? I’m going to buy one this week. Seems like they are the way to go. Also, how are the after results? Nobody has shown that part on KZbin yet, at least not that I know of.

Excellent video series! I'm so happy to see videos from someone in Ohio. With soil conditions and other factors affecting things so much, it's great to see someone not far away. I'm in Wooster, Ohio and installing a system similar to this next weekend. As a homeowner and amateur excavator, your video is a big help. Thank you.

I am going to do the same. Gonna try using plate tamper to see what it does

Looks great! thank you for the update Sir

Thank you for sharing this helps me a lot! Nice work

How do you put this thing into neutral to push if it won't start?

Thanks for the follow-up, it satisfied my curiosity.

Um I’m sorry but this is not the correct way of fixing the fence first you’re supposed to put a knot with the new wire and the all the wire so I cannot be pulled apart and still use a wire nut and not them together and then put it inside the grease cap so there is for sure 100% not going to be a partial break that’s how you’re supposed to do it properly

What if my sprinkler is under the soil and I turn my irrigation on, will my pvc pipe burst?

Evergreen terrace now .

Hello, our company is in Jordan,Middle East.We are looking for Paspalum vaginatum seeds.Please inform what exact variety is available and the quantity and price for a soccer field 8000 m2 area. Many thanks. Hassan

Thank you for your videos. I live in Wisconsin and have a 1.5 acre parcel. I have areas scattered that I want to slit seed. Do you do both vertical and horizontal passes when slit seeding?
