Not ready for the seed yet buddy. Need to rove all the slabs on the left and relay them at the back of the garden as i will be making the lawn wider in spring. Defo darker when it's longer due to the different types of grass. It's the rye grass that's darker. 🙂

Thanks buddy. I would give you a 9.5/10 for your buddy. 🙂

Where are you based ?

@@Budget_Gardener Nottingham

@@xjessukx Loads of people have great results doing it this time of year. But personally I would rather renovate in spring when the frost has gone.

Thank you. If your getting bare brown patches I would recommend taking your dog for a walk away from your garden for it's first pee in the morning. The nitrogen is higher in your dogs pee in the morning so taking it away from your garden to pee would help. Also keep the area where you dog pee's well watered to dilute it.

You place in the center of your lawn and then attach you're hose. 🙂

@@Budget_Gardener but does it water all the grass including where the spike goes into the grass or just the outside of the lawn?

@@rybanks1 As long as it's on for around 20-30 minutes it seams fine. 🙂

@@mushy_GLX Thanks buddy. I will be trying out some new affordable products soon. ;)

@@Budget_Gardener idealRobert? Nice 👍

@@mushy_GLX can't find you. this is me instagram.com/brian.dyke72/

@@Budget_Gardener now following you 🎉

I've not done a video on this yet but i intend to do one soon. But for now here's a link to a friends KZbin video. He uses a Webb WEH12R Reel Mower but it's based of the Qualcast Panther 30S and you set the HOC in the same way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYbOd5tjnrytn9E 🙂

@@Budget_Gardener this is spot on, exactly what I’m after, thank you very much sir!

That's great to know my videos are helping others. And thank you for taking the time to watch them. 🙂

@@glovely1sims Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind comment.

2nd that👍

@@mushy_GLX Thanks buddy.

@@jerrybillings4720 They are called lawn edging shears. No idea where you would get them in the States as I'm in the UK.

Think I'm going to keep it around 15mm though. Need to get some food and nitrogen on it. 🙂

Thank you. 🙂

I use a Qualcast Panther 30s push mower. The Panther was introduced in 1932 & continued in production until the 70's.

Thank you. 🙂

Thank you for your kind comment. 🙂

@@mushy_GLX Your most welcome. 😀

Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. Had mine a long time. But it's your lucky day. Just looked and they are back in stock at B&Q www.diy.com/departments/stainless-steel-soil-sieve-with-5-interchangeable-filters/5055031302659_BQ.prd

@@Budget_Gardener thanks mate 👍. Keep the videos coming

@@mushy_GLX it's cut cut with a length of 3x2 cls as a straight edge and something sharp the cut through the turf. Then once it's done keep edges cut with edging shears. 😜

@@Budget_Gardener Thanks, looks like I will be strimming same as b4 then 😂✌️

@@mushy_GLX Look me up on FaceBook buddy Gardening Onalow Budget 🙂

@@Budget_Gardener I am not on facebook mate 👀 Are you on Insta?

@@mushy_GLX Cool. My Wife keeps telling me to get Insta. 🤣 Maybe I will make one later. 😂

@@mushy_GLX I tried. Lol

When i was 16 years old all for about 20 minutes. lol

I water 4 times per day till the grass and grown to about 50mm - 60mm then give it it's first cut on your lawn mowers highest setting. Once grass as matured enough for regular cutting and weather is overcast i only water in the morning and afternoon but more on hot days. If your wanting to renovate your lawn now then i would do it this month or wait till spring next year. But if you do do it now use a fleece to cover it for around two weeks. It will keep birds off and help with germination. 🙂

Thanks buddy. I'm mowing every 3rd day just now. Watering has stopped just now unless it really dries out. 🙂

@@Budget_Gardener keep going bud and please keep us updated 👍

If you watch the video you will know with in 8 minutes i overseeded the whole lawn and extra on the patches. 😉

Thank you. 🙂

The Webb WEH12R 30cm (12″) Hand Push Cylinder Lawn Mower with Roller is basically the same. Have a look at this Video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYbOd5tjnrytn9Esi=6eX_OvIde4IrTpFV

Mine is only a 5 blade and yes chain driven. 😉

Thank you. 🙂

Look for webb weh12r

Qualcast Panther 30s. It was one of the most successful hand mowers ever made. It remained in production from 1932 until the late 1950s. 🙂

Yes ?

Once you have selected the 360 option there are two orange rings at the bottom before the stake. Turn the bottom on anti clock wise and the top on clock wise so the little bit that stick out meet up. then that it set to 360. 🙂

@@Budget_Gardener cheers mate!

I'm hoping so too. I just happed to be in B&M the other day and spotted only two boxes left on the shelf. Said on the box it covers up to 60 square meters but i never go with what it says on the box. I always add more. My lawn is 80 square meters so I've used the two whole boxes. I know for sure the birds are going to get some. 🤣 But yeah i hope to have a better looking lawn. The bare patches were doing my head in. And then i see yours. 😔🙄🤪😝

Not seen that done. The Webb mower should be enough to give you a clean cut as it is if the blades are ketp sharp.

​@@Budget_Gardener You're right, my situation is I have a few smaller patches and even including some small trees so I need to stop quite often, so I don't have a lot of space to build up some speed. Still I think I can benifit from using a reel mower, I just need that blade to be spinning on its own. Also it's a nice hobby project! There's 1 youtube video someone who did the webb already. Some other people have made the Fiskars staysharp manual reel model electric over the last couple of years, or also other older ones like a McLane (USA) or Scott Bonnar (Austrailia), from gas to electric.

I would go over your lawn with a rotary mower first and then take the tips off with the cylinder mower. Once the height is down the push cylinder mower pushes easy. I add 15 - 30 KG weight to mine when I cut my lawn and I'm in my 50s. 🙂

Thanks buddy. Just playing around with settings and products with this lawn. Seeing what works and what don't before i do a full renovate next year. 🙂

How's yours looking ??

@@Budget_Gardener Mine looks good tbh but I am going to do full reno anyways. I just started new fencing project and looks like its will take a week or two for me to finish as garden is a mess, then it will be lawn 🙏

Not sure a new poly tunnel will be in this years budget mate. Plus i will need to move the shed to the right hand side of the garden to shelter it if i get another one. I might even look in to building a wood frame and the cover it in high grade poly sheeting. 🙂

Thanks buddy. 🙂

1 or 2 sprout in it's first year and more in second year and so on. In the 3rd or 4th year you should be able to split them to make two plants. I get my compost from Home Bargins. 50/50 multi purpose compost & seaweed enriched compost mix the two together and plenty of stones in the bottom. 🙂

Thank you. Yeah it's getting better all the time. 🙂

Thanks buddy. I'm just uploading part 2 to this video. Planting Dahlias. 🙂

Yeah i love my little push mower. 🙂

@@Budget_Gardener you can't beat them, no fuel, electric etc needed, get them backlapped so they are so sharp they cut with virtually zero contact between cylinder and bed knife, so hardly any effort to push, and you won't beat them. Different story if your lawn is on quite a steep incline though, especially with the older heavier push mowers, but your lawn is as flat as a bowling green, so you wouldn't even work up a sweat pushing that panther 30s. And they will last for centuries.

@@markslade9722 I also add weight on top of it so it flattens the grass more. lol

@@Budget_Gardener I have done that in the past with some of my light side wheel cylinder push mowers, using cylinders filled with sand for stopping pergolas flying off, but don't need to do it with all my old vintage cylinder mowers as they are heavy enough🤣🤣🤣your panther 30s is probs about 1980's or 1990"s, and so the side casings on yours are light aluminium. But my original panther from the 50's is all steel and cast iron, then my 60's super panther the same, but the following model was the superlite panther from the 70's which is basically the same mower as your 30s, that is when they made them lighter by using aluminium for the side casings.. Only thing you may find adding more weight to yours is the rear roller nylon bushings will probably wear prematurely as you are adding a lot more weight to them than what they were designed to take, so make sure you regularly grease them.

@@markslade9722 I add about 20KG free weight rings on top of the main casing. 🤪

Qualcast panther 30s i've had is about 24 years. 🙂

I gave you a mention in description buddy. 🙂

I've seen the mention 🥰🥰🥰
