Hi I've watched most of your videos on your 4 week lawncare challenge and I'm quite impressed by your knowledge and dedication. Salute from Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶🇬🇶🇬🇶🇬🇶. You've got yourself a new subscriber!

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Thanks for that! I had no idea just how far my videos had gone across the world. The Internet is amazing, thanks for watching

[@malabo10]

@@GardenLawncareGuy well it is to be expected. You make quality content without all the special effects youtubers put in their videos. The internet has introduced new ways for us to be connected. We don't have to look alike or even have the same realities for us to have the same interest. Nonetheless, which grass would you recommend for a hot, humid and tropical weather?

[@dtbdel]

The lawn is looking great I’ve followed all your advice and my lawn is getting there. I guess I’m about 2 weeks behind you in progress and I’m just looking to fill in about 3 spots that haven’t germinated as well as the rest. I’m wondering if I should just mow it now and then add seeds to the barer patches or leave the mowing until the thinner areas catch up? Your advice has helped me turn around an area that was killing me to watch getting worse by the day and now it’s almost back to the way it was when I first laid it out in new turf.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Nice glad to hear you have been getting good results! Make sure to keep on the with the lawncare calender series to keep it looking good. If you 4-6 weeks in the mow them, its fine. Just don't take too much off, only the tips and gradually being down over several cuts

[@MrPaulyoung210]

Absolutely stunning mate... What a difference from what the lawn looked like at the start of the series to what it looks like now. I'll be following every step when I come to do mine in September 👍🏻

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah pal, really pleased! You planning a full rennovation yeah?

[@MrPaulyoung210]

@@GardenLawncareGuy yeah going to level my lawn with sand/topsoil then seed using the A1 premiership seed. Been following your lawn series from the start 👍🏻

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Spot on, sounds like a good plan! Yeah I know, one of the first regular viewers 👍👍

[@glennrandle8]

Can you do a vid about the fertilisation cycles you do throughout a season and what it involves? Lawn looks amazing mate well done!

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah, ive also got a new series out with my monthly lawncare calender. 1 vid each month with exactly what I'll be doing. One out this week hopefully

[@RaulSachsCarrillo]

Looking good 👍you made some great progress with the yard I love watching other projects and seeing different types of products people use I also do the same with the Scott's spreaders it doesn't seem to all come out and they do need that bump.🤙

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Thanks raul, really happy with those results!

[@illestabout]

OMG... the grass looks amazing. Pat on the back.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Thanks pal!

[@adrianw604]

Good video once again. With the boards you put in place at the start of this project, do you plan to keep those in place permanently or remove them once the grass edge can support itself?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Not sure yet, they look pretty good at the moment and abit of protection when people get out the cars etc so I'm thinking of keeping them for now, especially for another season as due to settlement I can get it more level next season with another dressing and the boards really help that

[@mrrob6547]

Was just waiting for you to spill a load of fertilizer on the lawn as you poured it into the spreader 😂 The lawn is looking amazing, what a transformation!

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah.. ive done that before. That is actually a big mistake thanks for that. I only had a little hole in the bag though on purpose but still, should be poured off grass for sure!

[@johnb8956]

I must’ve said this before but I’m really impressed mate with how well it’s done! I’ve decided to have a play with bent grass (golf green grass) on my front lawn, I was wondering if you’ve had any experience with it/ any advice?

[@RaulSachsCarrillo]

Check out Ben from lawn tips he's currently working on a bent grass greens area off to the side.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

No I've not used bent but I half wish I'd gone for a different grass in the front now to mix things up with the back. Although, I cant complain with those stripes!!

[@johnb8956]

RaulSachsCarrillo just about to watch his vid from earlier mate 😂. Just asking coz it’s better to have an insight with native practices/ products and environmental factors

[@johnb8956]

Garden Lawncare Guy yeah ngl I was surprised you went with rye for the front but it looks like some great varieties, and quite fine bladed. I’m getting envious of it for my back lawn 😂, although the one I’m currently using is very nice.

[@RaulSachsCarrillo]

@@johnb8956 lol that's awesome 😂and yes that's true

[@jayminp]

Brilliant video! Did you cover how you managed to do the double stripe?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

No, but i will do some videos on striping patterns if that's interesting for everyone thanks for the suggestion

[@relaxwithsnaps]

Great video! I'm currently a couple of weeks into a garden turf renovation, watering twice a day (morning, early afternoon) as the temperature isn't as warm over night. It's looking much healthier and will be looking to fertilise 3 weeks or so after the first cut. My question is should I continue with watering once it has been fertilised? I assume yes but didn't see anything specific about watering habits in this video. I'm also getting weeds starting to show having removed them all in the initial preparation, should I look to get some weed and feed in the mix soon? Finally, that sprinkler set up in the video, I can't find anything like that! - Thanks in advance!

[@michaelduddy320]

Awsome, what lawn mower that ,what's vest for February on lawn ,looking tierd

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Hi Michael I use the bosh rotak 43li when it's wet or long and the swardman as a cylinder. Try this spring feed great for tired lawns coming out of winter gardenlawncareguy.com/shop/fertiliser/glg-spring-summer-dark-green-fertiliser/

[@chrislees8194]

Hi, great results and been referring to your videos while doing my own lawn renovation (complete re-seed). Did my first cut last weekend and it's due again. How often should I mow and at what height please?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Nice Chris, for cutting get to around 2-3 inches and bring it down from there. The general rule is no more than 1/3 off the blade so drop it down weekly or every 5 or so days over a few cuts say 3-6 cuts. Mine is at 40mm right now, left it abit longer going into summer

[@adampug206gti]

Great vid,.., when seeding a new lawn to keep birds away what is the best method? I have seen people hang bits of string with CDs on them and also put that fine green garden mesh all the way over your grass??? What do you think??

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

I did see some birds around mine and by default the best thing is to cover the seeded area with dressing. My house and next doors house also have a cat which helps during the day keep away but also why i didn't want to use a net incase they got trapped. You can also put a bird feeder out to give a different feed source and then I've seen people use bird tape, bottles on sticks, CDs, metal owls and a random / motion sprinkler system.

[@lynnhope381]

Great video. Thanks Decided to do major landscaping during lockdown. I am ready to start re seeding the lawn, when is the best time to start? Do I wait till autumn? The weather here in North West England has been rubbish, after a dry spring.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah, I'm in North west too! Could start thinking about this from September depending how westher looks

[@Diffbrookes]

Great video mate! You’re a braver man than I am pouring fert like that over the lawn 😂

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah abit of a schoolboy, I did have only a small hole in the bag but lost abot of focus trying to film with my new cam equipment

[@rosskennedy7817]

Hi mate, I’m just about to reseed my lawn and I have bought the seed/fert pack from A1 after watching your results with it. I just wanted to be sure that I have it right, do I spread the fert first then straight on to reseed then water it all in?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

For overseeding I put my seed down, roll or tread it in for seed to soil, then fert on top

[@cloudsync515]

My lawn was looking amazing especially after using the envil seeweed. Couple of weeks later I decided to apply weed and feed on my 12 week old lawn and made sure I spread evenly. Iv noticed after couple of days that only the creeping fescue in my lawn mix (creaping fescue with rye) has burnt. Any advice how I can revive the lawn. Do you think I applied the weed and feed to soon.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yes you cant apply a weed product to a new lawn, most say min 6 months and also you shouldn't apply a fert to a new lawn. Best case, keep Watering and see if it bounces back. Do not apply any products atall - worst case overseed around September

[@cloudsync515]

@@GardenLawncareGuy Thanks for the advice. This is the result of me being impatient and trying to improve an alreadly good looking lawn. Definitely lesson learnt. Wife was not happy especially after I have been giving more attention to the lawn then her over the last 12 weeks. Just need to leave it alone and spend time with the wife 🙄

[@rugs108]

What setting is the spreader on to get the right application rate

[@81thechamp]

I've just got some A1 pre seed fertiliser (6-9-6) and looking to seed some bare spots on my front lawn. During the application process how would/did you go about using this product along with seeding? Did you wait a few days after using the pre seeding before overseeding?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Think the pack says around a week before if I recall, good luck with the project

[@81thechamp]

@@GardenLawncareGuyThankyou. I'm starting my front lawn project after seeing some great results in the back garden (thanks a lot to your channel). It will be more challenging thanks to excessive weeds and uneven areas etc but I think I can get much better for when next year comes around 🤞🏽

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah, just aim for improvements season on season. I found keeping pictures helps with the changes

[@81thechamp]

@@GardenLawncareGuy definitely!! Cheers again.

[@mrjonnyjones]

Stunning results mate! The stuff you put down is pre-seed fertiliser... so was it more of the same stuff you must have used when putting the seed down? Cheers!

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Yeah exactly pre-seed fert used post germination

[@mrlovegod21]

what setting on the drop spreader please.can you rake the compost if you don't have a compost roller ?

[@greenchoice1810]

Hi What number did you use on your spreader to finish off ? I have some to use :)

[@croftyfoster5812]

I have the Scotts spreader.... what setting were you using to apply the A1?

[@Minkywhispers]

Nice results man. Have you tried soluble ferts and what are your experiences with them? Loving the A1 I might give this a shot going into autumn if there's a low nitrogen option in the A1 range. On your back lawn how often do you apply the A1 and seaweed ferts? You on a 5 week turnaround on both?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

My main soluable apps are the seafeed and liquid iron. I do the Granular base around 5-8 weeks when it needs to and then iron+seafeed in between the cycle as a liquid app. They do a autumn fert but only sell it when the season starts i think, the spring summer woth iron and seaweed has made the lawn crazy good in the back!

[@johnb8956]

A1 is definitely a good company. I use the luxury hard wearing mix on my back lawn and it’s great, despite being pummelled by it being used as a cricket pitch 😂

[@janicewilson9827]

@@GardenLawncareGuy I have seeded small sections of my lawn. The established lawn needs 'Complete' fertilizer as it is sandy soil. Is it safe to put the summer fertilizer on and include the reseeded areas?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

I wouldn't put a full strength fert or any fert that contains iron on a newly seeded area.

[@janicewilson9827]

@@GardenLawncareGuy thanks. I thought so but wanted reassurance. I will save the granular fertilizer with iron for next spring.

I have the same fertiliser but and over seaded my lawn. My lawn is patchy dark with some light. Can’t tell if it needs another dose of fertiliser or over watering or something else

Help! I’ve bought the seed starter and American dark green seed from your site, it’s been nearly 4 weeks and it looks worse than before I started. Think the soil is too clay that the seeds died

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Hi Daniel it's not likely the seeds will die they normally lay dormant until conditions are right and unless they have been eaten or washed away they will grow. Can you send me some pictures so I can take a look and help you?
