How To Quickly Repair Lawn Bare Spot Using This Lawn Tool

[@Dauseana]

My lawn was dead bald and ugly when i bought my house. I subscribed to your channel 2 years ago. Followed your suggestions step by step. You should see my lawn now. I have the most beautiful lawn in my subdevision. Thanks you so much!

[@LawnAmateur]

I'm happy to hear that. Thats right stunt on the neighbors 🤣. Thank you for your support 🙏🏾

@knockout77 I agree. I help my neighbors but nothing wrong with friendly competition

[@bokjoowangso947]

This is my story too! We bought our house last yr and yard is a mess. Dead and bald spots! We hired landscaping contractors to fix the ground because we had more than a dozen tree stumps removed cause it was getting too close to our house's foundation. Anyway, you inspire me that we can have a lawn like this one!

[@thegreenskeep1]

I've been in this industry for 24 years and never considered using a garden weasel for this purpose. Makes perfect sense.

[@LawnAmateur]

This tool makes spot seeding an area very easy

[@BenNawrath]

I gotta tell you something. That step where you pat the seed down with your foot might be the most important part, and people often forget it. I’ve always heard how seed to soil contact is important. But a few years ago I replaced the cover over my sprinkler valves, and when I was packing the dirt in around it, the parts where I packed it good with seed popped SP much faster than the parts where I didn’t. And it was kinda junky sandy soil too! Definitely important. Beg/borrow/steal a roller if you’re doing a large area!! I also like peat moss! Had good luck with just sprinkling some soil on top too if that’s all you have handy.

[@LawnAmateur]

You're definitely correct

[@PuBearsticks]

They make something called a seed roller for larger areas that is made just for this

[@BenNawrath]

@@PuBearsticks yeah I’d definitely look into renting something if that were the case.

[@robskully3539]

WOW … wish I knew this when I redid an area in our yard.

[@darlaaj8621]

New Subscriber here!! I needed to see this because I bought my house in Feb of this year and I have a lot of bald spots in my front yard which take away curb appeal. I don’t want to hire someone and pay a lot of money so I’m going to DIY it. I’m glad I came across your video. Now I’m ready to add some curb appeal. Thank you!!👋😊

I bought the garden tool back in October 2023 from Ace Hardware, absolutely right about bird and how to use peat moss. Keep it up boss, thanks

@millielovedonuts7158 thank you for your support. I'm glad I could help 🙏🏾

[@craigzilla100]

The garden weisel works great if the ground is soft. If its hard and dried out, i will usually water it for a while to soften it up. Also, if the ground is basically mud, it will straight up rip out adult grass instantly and the roots. So you gotta pay attention to the status of the soil. Good video.

[@hailstorm1986]

You addressed my number one concern with birds getting a hold of the seed and that peat moss I never thought about before and I appreciate so much and now I'm definitely going to be adding that right after I put down the seed. Absolutely great video. Thank you very much.😇💧

I'm a new home owner and this helped me so much. Fixed 5 medium to large spots on my lawn with this exact method. My neighbour even asked to borrow my garden weasel when he saw how good it worked 👍 cheers from NB Canada 🍻

[@jayragoonanan2598]

Great video! I personally soaked my seed prior to helping get them started and then spread them in. It speeds up the process.

[@LawnAmateur]

I heard of people doing that

[@geniepreece2216]

How long do you soak them for ?

[@jayragoonanan2598]

@geniepreece2216 I've done it for 24 to 48 hours, changing the water (very important) out every 12 hours. Keep it in a warm area like your garage or shed.You will know it's ready to put down when you start to see roots. I mix it with fertilizer so I can use a spreader. If not, it will clump up in the spreader. Hope this helps

[@dxlebxnks]

I've had issues with my lawn for 2 years. My wife bought a garden weasel for weeds and we never thought to use it to plant grass but we did a couple of months ago, threw down some manure and then top soil over that and bam! Grass!. Will try peat moss in another spot as we've been experimenting with different things. Great video.

[@LawnAmateur]

No problem. The garden weasel comes in handy 🤣. I use that tool around the lawn 24/7. Thank you for your support 👌🏾 🙏🏾

[@QkSilver04GTO]

Learned something yesterday. Went to Lowes today and bought their version of the Weasel. It was $35, and it was worth it. Did one large spot in the back yard that has been troublesome for a while. Rolled it, seeded it, rolled it lightly again then dropped some Milorganite and watered. Took care of the side of the house where it was dug up to replace a water line. They did a lousy job filling and leveling the dirt and then seeding. I fixed it once and got some growth. Took the tine tool to it today as well with the same process. Got some rain coming this week. Hoping to see some good results within a week or two. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@LawnAmateur]

No problem its a great tool to have for those hard areas. It does a wonderful job of breaking up soil and rolling in seed

[@CuriousMind_LVG]

Thank you for this video. I did use my garden weasel when I seeded a large area and needed to remove tons of weeds. Now I know I can use it to do overseeding.

Great video, I can’t believe how simple this is. Quick question, do you recommend peat, moss, or straw for covering the grass seeds?

It depends on the situation. I prefer peat moss, but straw is better for seeding hills because it holds grass seeds in place better.
