Awesome upload ! Always reminds me procedurally how to seed n products to utilize for a successful lawn. Thanks for ur vid ! Just watching it is therapeutic n relaxing. Anticipating ur next one. Peace

[@LawnRight]

Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️☺️☺️

[@StewRoberts]

I like the grass peoples seeds. Usually grow well

[@archielent2129]

Great video Shaun, I didn’t realise you had a KZbin channel I’ve just sat and binged watched 4 videos in a row! Great content!

[@LawnRight]

Welcome aboard! Archie from pte.. Good to see you here mate

[@pizzmo8256]

I bought one of those leaf pickers. I had spinal fusion and wasn't giving up my garden. I saw you using them, and I was like bingo! You're the man! 🇨🇦

[@LawnRight]

Glad to be of service 😁😁

[@dalewood6361]

You know Shaun you can tell because of your knowledge that you really do love your job, but then again what’s not to love working outside with nature and having an end result of improving what you are working with. Great job Shaun

[@LawnRight]

Very true. I'm eternally grateful for these little precious things 😊

[@Mike--K]

Another great video, Shaun! I'll be doing this to my lawn next month, if I can get a break with the rain and cold weather.

[@LawnRight]

I'll come over one year and help!

[@Mike--K]

@@LawnRight I'm looking forward to it!

[@danwillson8393]

Another good video. Don’t forget if the taps are just leaking a bit, get some new o rings, connectors then good as new

[@LawnRight]

Great point!

[@paul_sam84]

Great as usual Shaun. Going to give Gypsum a go because we have a very heavy clay lawn. I'm 50/50 whether to fully returf or scarify, seed, top dress, which will be significantly cheaper. Thanks again for the content.

[@LawnRight]

No problem 😊😊

[@mountain958]

I want a compost spreader and lawn lute. But I think the lawn lute would be the best first purchase. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀

[@samsammsammm1547]

i use grasspeople seed. Its fantastic, especially the superstar back lawn seed

[@LawnRight]

Sounds great! Ive not really used them much myself but see their good reviews

[@bobblack4048]

Hi Shaun, I've been watching your videos since last September, and I find them really informative. I have a question for you. I started a new turf lawn last year. This spring, I find I've got a lot of weed grass in it. Would you suggest I start again, or try what you have done here and cut it right back and reseed it. Thank you.

[@danieljephcott]

Hi Shaun, love the videos, they have been hugely helpful. I'm just about to tackle my 6 year old new build lawn that half is now a moss pit and the other half needs a good scarifying. Do you have a rough ratio of how far a 50l bag of compost would go? My front and rear lawn totals about 150m2 so trying to work out how many bags I'll need.

[@LawnRight]

Hi I've been getting about 7 or 8 sq metres per 40 litre bag with the compost spreader which is 70 per 400 litres, or 140 sq metres per 800 litres so maybe 15 bags

[@mickodonnell890]

Another superb video full of very useful snippets of information. How heavy should the roller be? I have one of those you put water into and I was only filling it halfway last year when I got it and was doing lawn work. Is this okay or should I fill it to really press the seeds & compost in? Cheers, Mick 🙂

[@LawnRight]

Hi Mick! It doesn't need to be super heavy. If you've scarified and created soil grooves the seeds will press in quite well with a lighter roller.. You can def go heavier just be careful if the ground is very wet as it can squash the soil into unevenness

[@jordanjones1642]

Great video as always 👍🏽 what gypsum products do you recommend to use?

[@LawnRight]

Hi most will be fine - I like this one however amzn.to/4d9zduX

[@anthonypeirce5875]

Hi shaun great video on lawn care ,My self i had just bought a Miracle Gro drop spreader for great for feeding & seeding lawns. I overseeding a lawn yesterday with the drop spreader and used level 8 not the full 18 being honest on this number setting the seed dropped out not to little and not to much plus i over lapped the seed on the runs a bit. plus i lightly covered the seed with my Landzie spreader with compost. And do you think the seed will handle 5 deg temp for four nights in early hours then it warms up better in the day between 8 to 12 it is slight chilly at the mo i live in bristol south west , then next monday it gets warmer from the south Thanks Anthony

[@LawnRight]

Hi that's interesting, Ive not used that spreader. The one I use needs a double pass on the highest setting. I think the temps will be fine

[@christophederetz5945]

Thank you for another great video. May I ask a question: does adding a pre seed fertiliser really make a big difference? Thanks

[@LawnRight]

It does help but many years ago I never bothered.. And a lot of the time I will just put autumn fert on or something fairly balanced.. You could also opt for seaweed instead

[@davidplanet3919]

Another quality video. Are you relying on the compost spreader weight to firm in the seed a little bit, like a drag mat would. Or would you say there is no need to firm in the seed as long as it’s on the soil.

[@LawnRight]

Hi to be honest it probably doesn't matter too much. I generally use a roller last off for firming in.. But I've done jobs without the roller which went very well. I'd definitely use a drag mat, or lute or brush after applying compost so it works in between the blades and down to the soil surface

[@davidplanet3919]

Oh thanks. I just use the mower roller (not very heavy) to firm in seed when over-seeding the whole lawn. For small patches I press down on a small fabric-covered foam kneeling pad (Asda). I don’t have a lute but work the compost between the blades using a brush, which looks like a witches broom. I have not had any problems with germination when I have forgotten to firm in.

[@khurmahmed8078]

Shaun just saw you on St Anne’s, drove past you, turned back around to chat and you were gone 😢

[@cretene1]

whats a heatwave??????. here in n.ireland ,never heard of one.

Great video mate,have you got a link as to where I can purchase the Gypsum granules please?

[@LawnRight]

Hi - I like this one amzn.to/4d9zduX thanks

[@romestunna_1227]

@@LawnRight thank you so much mate,have a great day

[@mstar011]

Does the Lute not move the seed and drag it to places and you may get more seed in some areas??

[@LawnRight]

I find it pretty good when there is exist g grass around the seeds but on totally bare spots I don't use it

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

i always think of a ex KZbinr emerald bren when you mention emerald green 😊

[@LawnRight]

Ooh never heard of him..

[@Rubbernut]

Shame you don’t come up as far as South Leeds my lawn is in desperate need of some TLC. It’s a north facing lawn and I live in a three story house so get no sun in late autumn winter or early spring and dies off every year a it’s a new build it’s a clay soil and really struggling with it.

[@LawnRight]

Ahh you're up against it. Aerate it, get some gypsum down every month or 2, and look to renovate in any spring using a shaded grass seed.. It'll take a year or 2 to improve the soil so you'll have to renovate again the following spring

[@Rubbernut]

@@LawnRight thank you very much for that and your reply

[@Egonomical]

What compost do you use? Thanks 👍👍🌱🌱

[@LawnRight]

HI this will provide some further information. lawnright.co.uk/compost - there's a few I like.. thanks

[@paulwithers2511]

Each year change the hose connector o-rings, that's all you need to do.

[@LawnRight]

Thanks, top tip! 😊

One day I'll be the first to view and comment.😂 Great stuff Shaun. Love the videos. I always learn something every time.

Hi I really enjoy your videos, very informative and good to watch. i’m From Lancashire looking to do a lawn renovation to an established lawn front and back. The front doesn’t get much sunlight only for a few hrs in the evening but it doesn’t get used kids etc, the back does with kids so would I be best to get two different type of seeds ? , could you possibly point me to a source to buy and make of pre seed fertz, and grass seeds and compost please. Ps add a link to your Emerald Green too and I’ll get a bottle or two . Cheers Crack on duck 😅

[@allanrichardson8524]

Ps the rear Lawns south facing.

[@LawnRight]

Hi I'd get a small bag of shaded seed/tall fescue, and a bag of hard wearing seedfor the sunny one. There's loads of preseed fert on now amazon etc and emerald green can be found on my website shop 😊😊

[@allanrichardson8524]

What area do you cover ?

Still ice cold northerly winds here in South Lakeland. Did mine last week with Jacks Magic compost. The grass is barely growing. At least it's stopped lashing it down!

Hopefully get more sunshine too.. Feel like we've had summer already 🤣

[@thomassherry2081]

Great video Shaun, can you recommend any pre-seed fertiliser and any good sprinklers? Thanks

Hi.. Garden lawncare guy has some on amazon here amzn.to/3UegYMb. Sprinkler wise pick according to your lawn shape.. If it's rectangular I like the hose lock ones here amzn.to/44hwE6c.

@@LawnRight thanks Shaun

[@jfsx100]

Which gypsum do you use?

[@LawnRight]

Any will be fine honestly

[@theveryfirst]

How much Gypsum can or should you put down!?

[@LawnRight]

It usually has an application rate on the product used so will differ.. I usually do a single pass and leave it at that.. Better or do little and often

[@andygriffiths9916]

Gone for a massage 😆

[@weepz]

Was thinking to get a big bag of seed myself, but does seed 'expire' as such?

[@johnseymour1106]

Germination rates go down about 20% a year approximately.

[@weepz]

@@johnseymour1106 so if I got a 5kg bag, 1kg of that is potentially unusable, roughly.

[@LawnRight]

I've always been told 10% but I imagine 20% could also be more realistic.. Kefp it in a dry dark sealed container.. I use fir a year and into 2nd year if needed but I anticipate some failing
