Nice to see another Victa Swordsman 14”! We have the same mower and has been in the family for over 30 years (firstly was my father’s and has since been passed down to me), and it’s still going strong. The handle bar fractured with a fatigue crack last year but a friend welded it back together. I have the original instruction manual for the Victa Swordsman - more than happy to send you a copy if needed. I also created my cutting height gauge inside the body of the mower which helps set the height.

Hi, my lawn isnt too bad but in the last year ive developed a couple of isses: 1. Creeping violet steading in the lawn from one of the borders. It was self seeded and I didn't catch it in time. Any suggesations for this particular weed as store bought lawn weedkillers dont seem to be doing the job. 2. When I cut short - less than 1" (I never break the 1/3 rule and cut 3 times a week when the weather is suitable) I get browning patches. Possibly needs feeding more? 3. Ants. They seem to be meadow ants which just have excavating piles rather than true ant hills. I saw your recent vid so I'll pick up some of that Ant Gone stuff.

[@LawnRight]

Try weedol for lawns and repeat every 3 weeks spot spraying.. you may be cutting into the crown.. you could scalp it and then it starts again..or it may be ready for slight scarify

[@stuartcollins82]

A tip from me on adjusting a cylinder mower. tip it on its back or side. then hold a straight edge, like a short bit of wood, along the front roller and rear roller. Then you can measure the distance from this to the bottom blade. This will be your height of cut.

[@LawnRight]

Thanks!

[@JonathanBrazil1]

I feel like this could be a contender for 'stupid question of the week' but I have to ask. Why is the roller at the front of the Swordsman, flattening the grass before it is cut rather than at the back to stripe the lawn after the blades have been cut to height?

[@LawnRight]

I believe it's to help stop accidental scalping

Lawnright, I've been watching your channel for a long time. Any problems with quakgrass in the UK? Here in the US I'm getting more of it and I'm not too sure what to do about it.

[@LawnRight]

Hi you can apply fertiliser regularly to improve the regular grass health to try and choke it out.. or dig it out or use a post emergent herbicide to kill it such as "certainty" that will kill it and not the lawn.. ice not tried that a sits not available in the uk. You could go for roundup and apply only to the quackgrass then wait 2 to 3 weeks.. take out all the dead matter with a rake then reseed and cover with a thin layer of compost

[@Mike--K]

Martin P.: I had a horrible problem with quackgrass (AKA couch or twitch grass) in 2002 at my Virginia rental property. The Certainty herbicide worked well without affecting the other grasses. Unfortunately, the manufacturer changed something in the product, and it is no longer used for selective control of quackgrass. The tenants didn't take care of the lawn properly and I noticed during a trip back to Virginia in 2017 that the quackgrass had returned. The Certainty herbicide no longer worked, and the only solution was to use Roundup (Glyphosate) on the entire 1.25 acre lawn and start over. Since I had gone back to sell the house, and the yard was mostly green anyway, I decided to let the new owners have their bit of fun in their own time. Because I didn't learn my lesson properly, in 2019 I let a small patch of quackgrass in my German lawn get out of control. It wasn't until mid-2021 before I could find someone to tackle the job. By then, Glyphosate was banned for sale in Germany, so the only solution was to remove the soil. The landscaper removed about 60 square meters of earth to a depth of 30cm in order to be sure the root system was gone. This week, I noticed a smaller patch of quackgrass is back, but not in the same area from 2019. I'm pulling it out as best as I can while trying to extract as much of the rhizomes as possible. I hope the new grass will eventually choke out the small patch. If this doesn't work, then I'll find some Glyphosate elsewhere in the EU and spot treat the area later this year. The Glyphosate can still be purchased elsewhere.

[@simonshotter8960]

Can you help me? I have taken on a new build which was turfed and let to grow very tall. The grass has become stalky as a result and I cannot cut lower than my top setting otherwise it’s down to stalks. How can I get it lower? Do I just plan to cut it down and re seed?

[@LawnRight]

I'd just cut it super low and wait for it to regrow

[@davidplanet3919]

When you mow the lawn you remove some leaf reducing the plants ability to photosynthesise. The plant defends itself by creating new leaves, which thickens the lawn.

Hi Shaun. I took on a task to sort out the lawn in front of our church and looking for some advice. It was so full of moss and weeds it was like a trampoline 😂. I put moss killer down which left about half the lawn bare. I decided not to put weedkiller down because I wouldn't be able to put seed down for 8 weeks. 3 weeks ago I overseeded and have varying heights of growth up to 10 cm. When can I put some weedkiller down? Great videos BTW. Thanks in advance.

[@LawnRight]

Hi Peter I'd give it a good 3 to 4 weeks yet before applying weedkiller.. chances are maybe wait till September as the grass there wont be getting regularly watered and will likely already be enduring heat stress.. but if in 3 to 4weeksits looking happy and vibrant you should be fine.. thanks 😊

[@LawnRight]

Hi yeah.. 4ml of emerald green per square metre so you would need 800ml. Water wise we need 30ml water per square metre so 30 x 200 = 6000 ml or 6 litres at a minimum.. you can of course put more water in.. so 12 litres would ensure a double pass or more depending on which nozzle you use.. you could fill your sprayer with water and walk over the lawn to see how many litres it takes to cover the lawn

[@TrueBrit1]

Hi Shaun. I have an unconnected, but sort of connected, question - and apologies in advance for the length of it! I have followed your guidance and have renovated my front garden, and I'm very pleased with the results. I recently moved into our house so the outside needs a lot of work , a large part was the front. I now have the back to do, and I was going to do the same as I did in the front i.e., scarify, over seed, apply top dressing and voila. However, the problem with my back garden is that it is very 'bitty', what I mean is that there are many little borders here, there and everywhere, plus paths, old paving and patio areas and trees/shrubs, so I do not have a solid, large piece of lawn, rather an annoyingly fragmented lawn. I need to make a patio area and I was going to take up the grass in that location and relay it elsewhere in the garden to fill in the existing open borders, paths, patios etc., so that I go back to a blank canvas of one large, square (ish) lawn, so I can then renovate it all that way, then landscape as necessary. My back garden is around 250 square metres so not small, but not massive either. But having already started work on the back garden, I have come to the conclusion that it will be a huge job to do it the way I'd planned, part of the reason being that it will essentially be impossible, or certainly really hard work, to get all of the areas I need to fill in at the correct level so that when I take up and relay the grass from the (soon to be) new patio area, the areas to be filled in match the height of the lawn around it. This is made worse by the fact that the overall area of back garden undulates, so is not one uniform height. So I have come to the conclusion that I need to do one of two things - dig/turn over the whole of the back garden (after laying the patio and paving areas) and either 1) lay new turf, or 2) seed the whole area and let it grow that way, then reapplying seed another couple of times over a few months. I believe decent turf to cover 250 square metres will be around £1,000, plus I guess I may need topsoil to cover the whole area whichever method I choose, which will probably double the cost, or possibly more. What would you do? Regardless of whether I re-turf, or re-seed, do you think I could get away with just turning over the existing lawn (weeds and all) with a tiller, or do you think either method WILL need topsoil? Any other advice? Cheers.

[@LawnRight]

Hi... any method would work but as you say, cost comes into it. You could definitely user a tiller/rotavator..I've done this. Rotavate the lot.. pick out all the old turf so it's all soil then use a landscapers fake multiple times to move the soil around to get it level... firm it all down then re take for levels.. repeat repeat till really happy with the levels.. then you can seed or turf however you see fit.. turf is instant. For seeds five it a quick rake to loosen the top cm or so.. scatter seeds.. firm it all in then a thin layer of multipurpose compost or topsoil..and water water water

[@TrueBrit1]

@@LawnRight Thanks for your quick reply. I was out in the garden again this evening and I'm in no doubt now that I will have to go down one of those two routes, as the levels of the existing lawn are all over the place. I like the thought of 'instant' lawn, but having overseeded and topdressed the front, I know I can get good results that way too, saving quite a lot of money in the process. I've noted your comments, and I see you haven't mentioned about putting down a layer of topsoil, other than a thin layer and then reseed or returf. I see you've said simply rotavate it all, then pick out all the old bits of turf. Although it's going to be hard work, I'm assuming the best way would be to scalp the lawn first, as in remove the grass and, say, top 2cm of roots/earth, then rotavate what is left below (the mud), to save having to go through it all after rotavating to remove all the old turf and grass (and weeds too). My back garden is VERY spongey, just like the front was, and it is literally drowning in moss and thatch, not to mention all the borders and paving here and there, so would you agree it would simply be better to anihilate the entire garden, get down to bare mud, prepare as you've said and then either reseed, or returf? Nightmare job really, but it would probably be better in the long run to start from a neat, blank canvas, rather than absolute sheet!

Shaun, I'm at the point in my lawn where I'm watering three times a week in the morning for 20 minutes and cutting twice a week (for now). I can tell I've been over the lawn, just removing the tops, but there are no clippings in the mower bag. My mowing schedule is Saturday and Wednesday morning, with seaweed extract on Sunday and Thursday morning. I can't find Emerald Green in Germany, so is there a suitable substitute? Also, can I mix the weed killer (Compo Lawn Week Killer Perfect) and the seaweed extract together for one pass, or should I apply them separately? If separately and on the same day, which goes on first? With my backpack sprayer, I consistently use 12 liters of water to make two passes on my lawn.

[@LawnRight]

Hi Mike, I had a quick look on Amazon.de. I found this one www.amazon.de/TURBOGRUEN-Improves-Absorption-Irrigation-Fertiliser/dp/B08FX3W8CM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=XNHRQDMNNVXT&keywords=wetting+agent+lawn&qid=1687086219&sprefix=wetting+agent%2Caps%2C71&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1.... As for the mixing, most weedkillers are tank mixable, and the seaweed should be perfectly fine (Ive done it many times), however always worth doing a quick Google on the products used to see if it says "not tank mixable". If you chose to do on separate days you can do either of them in any od=rder as they both work in different ways :)

Thanks Shaun for another great vid… but your dog is now the top star … sorry mate!🤓

[@LawnRight]

Ahh shes brilliant 😊😊😊

[@connor_arb]

Man, please tell me how you stop your dog killing the grass?

[@LawnRight]

You ca train them to go in one area or plenty of water where theyve been right after they went.. or grow some grass in trays or plant pots to instantly transplant into any burnt areas after digging out the burnt bit

[@connor_arb]

@@LawnRight thanks very much! That’s great advice!

Pointless with rye grass though, you never mention that

[@LawnRight]

True.. This grass is a creeping csi rye from hurrells seeds but it's taking forever

You would die if you saw my lawn it's so bad I don't no where I'm going wrong I just cart seem to fix it I've watched video after video but it just don't sit in my brain of what to do. my grass as turned from grass to dandelions and cats ears I think there called every day there is even more 😟 I think it's the sun in Leeds it's sending weed rays down to my lawn instead of sun rays 😂😂 Its just getting worse it's so upsetting my lawn is not big it's just a wide square im in a new build home . I live over the road from woods so dose that have anything to do with all the weeds 😂🤷🏼‍♀️I've not a clue 😭

Hi..start with this kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnSQYqqFob2fsMU the sprayer is about £30 or you can go for a cheaper pump sprayer for half that..get the weedol for lawns.. practice with the sprayer first with just water in it.. get a feel for spraying water..walk at a walking pace over the lawn.. dont be tempted to go slower as you can burn the lawn.. be careful with weeds that are close to flowerbeds. I've killed several over the years..you can do this

At 70 years of age caring for my lawn doesn’t improve my mental health it makes me depressed, especially having to cope with leather jackets, POA, worm-casts and everything else nature wants to throw at me.

[@davidmckee2898]

I don't understand this video. you said that just cutting the tips of the grass makes the grass healthy. And now you are cutting it short

[@LawnRight]

Hi sorry for any confusion. The key is regular mowing at about the same height as what you usually do. I've varied the height of cut a few times to suit my preference and desire. Cutting longer can hlep in a few ways such as keeping the ground cooler and crowding out any weeds or weed grass Ed that like a lower cut. When I cut it short recently its because the poa seed heads were trying to cast seeds. Rightly or wrongly I decided to simply mow off the seed heads at that point. I'm now mowing taller again so will see how well it goes this year 🤞🤞

[@paulshawley6490]

Baffling. You're trying to encourage lateral growth?
