🐶💚 That's the great part of starting with bubbles, simple enough to let the creativity and ideas start pouring out! What are some of your ideas for your garden?

We are glad you found it helpful! Yes yes yes, that is exactly it. It is much more important to create a space that you will use and enjoy than just following what you think you are supposed to do.

Thank you! And thanks for watching. We are glad his enthusiasm and love of architecture comes across :)

I wouldn’t you still need sun for it grow and water never heard of anyone doing it that way tho

A basic soil test is available from Dellavalle Soil Lab and sometimes that information is useful. You would need to sample it yourself and take it to them. There is no where locally that can measure soil life.

Yes! We recommend using Blend & Penetrate when overseeding. They both help with germination. Apply seed, then apply products, then top dressing.

I also live in SoCal. Marathon is the brand name for a type of Tall Fescue grass that is popular because it is green all year, has an extensively deep root system that allows it to grow well in our climate, and uses less water compared to other grass varieties. There are three types - Marathon I, II, and III, representing progressive improvements to the sod. Growers recommend cutting Marathon I at a height of 2 to 3 inches, Marathon II at a height of 1 1/2 to 2 inches and Marathon III at a height of 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches. You can contact the company that installed it (or it may be on your invoice) to see which type you have.

We are glad you like it! The olive tree entrance is stunning, it's my favorite at night when it's lit up. We do love an overgrown cottage garden, too. 💚🌻

Glad it was helpful!

Or should be add grit 1st as well or do nothing?

Compost would work excellently with our products so feel free to add that if you want!

Sometimes he wanders...but he always comes back 💚🐶

Overseeding is fine on top of fungal disease and/or on top of treated fungal disease. Because of this year's fungal disease, in Late Fall I recommend applying our Soil Optimizer at 3-5lbs per 1,000sqft and then next Spring apply our "Blend" at 15-20lbs per 1,000sqft and our Penetrate Liquid Biotiller at 8oz per 1,000sqft.

Compost would be a great addition to our products. Have you seen good improvement since starting the Blend & Penetrate applications?

@@JohnandBobs not yet sir, I only used the Blend once last year at the start of the growing season, and this year is the first year for using the penetrate and more than one Blend application. I am doing the penetrate and Blend in the next week or two as my final application before next spring.

You can sample multiple areas to get a better sense of your soil's composition

I like the show notes idea! Here is a list of the plants mentioned in the video...I will add the list to the video description as well :) Boxwood, Roses, Dwarf Citrus, Little John (Dwarf Bottlebrush plant), Little Ollie (Dwarf Olive), Japanese Blueberry, Boston Ivy, Society Garlic, Mock Orange, Wisteria, Bermuda Lawn, Cistus, Plumbago, Crepe Myrtle, Vitex, Lantana, Dwarf Pink Oleander, Loropetalum, Viburnum Spring Bouquet, Spirea Anthony Waterer

I will add it to our video idea list :)

You're welcome - we love when things come together at the perfect time! Penetrate is a great way to start improving clay soil. Like the video states, growing something in the soil alongside amendments is more effective than just using Penetrate alone.

We actually just put out a video about hard clay soil if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5ybZYZqo5mKm68 The biggest thing to watch with clay soil is watering/drainage. Check with a soil probe regularly to determine how much/often to water. Otherwise, follow the advice from this video and work on infusing your soil with beneficial soil life using compost, our products, or products similar to ours.

I would recommend the same method as seeding in the spring with both Blend & Penetrate to help with germination. Cover spots with a top dressing mulch. If you have any issues arise you can send pictures to our email so we can give you more precise help: [email protected]

You can apply it topically and then dress with compost.

We do love a good waterfall moment 💚

Best of luck! I'm sure you will come up with a great solution that works best for you. Any new ideas since you left this comment?

You're welcome 😇
