Why You Should Use Seasol On Your Lawn

[@sfrrob]

I have been in the SeaSol factory. The stench of fermenting seaweed is absolutely epic.

How refreshing it was to watch a video with a down to earth ocker.. And you delivered some very salient advice, thanks mate. 👍

[@robfreeman4550]

handy tip, i use seaweed pellets called "SEA-MUN-GUS" , its composted seaweed, fish, humic acid and manure, i get it from bunnings , about 20 bucks for a 15kg bag, i put a few hand fulls into a bucket with water let it sit for an hour , stir it up and pour it into another bucket with a cloth over it to filter out large particles then pour it into a old empty bottle of seasol with the hose adaptor and spray it on the lawn , i can refill the bucket a few times getting 30-50 litres of spray for just a few handfulls of product, great results so far .

I use Seaweed solution with my potting mix, I mix it with a hand full of fertiliser, mulch and drench it in seaweed solution and that's good for the next few weeks, water it as normal for a few days then use seaweed solution again, plants have not complained. It is organic, made from bullweed in Tasmania that is harvested off the shoreline, so for those that are about ecology safe businesses, this is kind of a good company to root for and support.

I applied this on Saturday after cutting my lawn and it made it grow so fast that since Monday I've had to cut my blue grass daily with my cylinder mower @1" it's a very good product but I would use a lighter dose in the future

[@urbangamming6870]

what dose did you use ? he didnt really give a dose for just using a sprayer eg litres per m2

[@CraigKamo]

Yo mate, what up? Hoping to get a bit of advice. I have a mix of buffalo and ryegrass growing in my front lawn, mostly ryegrass. Should i stick with products designed for buffalo or get rid of as much of the buffalo I can and stick with the ryegrass? Thanks

[@nanceebirdlover5222]

Seasol is made on King Island in Victoria from washed up seaweed. Lots of comments below asking for evidence on how it works etc. I can't answer that myself but I can tell you it just works. Try it and you'll see! I also like the way it is natural seaweed not some lab cooked gunk.

[@Tas-Devil]

King Island in Victoria, since when? King Island is part of Tasmania, but yes you are correct they used kelp washed up on king island.

[@nal23biagtan73]

thank you for your info..Can you already....used that for tropical plants ? then it survive to winter about -4 degrees?

[@greatestcontentofalltime5065]

Hi, Can you please confirm can I apply Seasol straight after mowing or is it best to wait a few days?

[@urbangamming6870]

yeah you would be able too you want it to get into the soil

[@NpgSymboL]

Hey Ben! Sorry to bring up such an old video but what would be the benefit or difference with using a hortex sprayer as opposed to my solo sprayer? I’m guessing maybe I don’t have to lightly water in afterwards because the hortex throws more water? I’m just trying to figure out if a hortex is something I need and when I would use it. Thanks matey!

[@sbultitude-paull303]

Just in case Ben doesn't get back to you mate - in later vids he went away from using a Hortex; he explained it didn't give even coverage. Me personally I use a Hortex when applying soil amendments like wetting agent, pre-emergent, seaweed, humic acid etc as it's much less of a pain than getting the sprayer out. A sprayer will give you more even coverage though, so while you don't need one if you have a sprayer, it's another tool in your arsenal if you do.

[@musk-eteer0074]

Hello LT... I have been using Seaweed\Kelp for two summers now and I’ve realized an increase in frogs in my lawn. It’s not ideal since some of them are not smart enough to run away when they hear or feel the vibrations of the lawn mower coming. I typically mow at the highest or second highest level so I I’m not able to see the frogs until it’s too late. Takes away from the joy of mowing when having to deal with pieces of frog carnage in the lawn. Have you heard of others experiencing this? I live i the Midwest...SD to be specific.

[@Semaj.18272]

Hey Nate I’m a new to this lawn thing but Shouod I apply Scott’s lawn builder - then use seasol to water it after wards as in once I’m done applying it ? And what if I have weeds as well Shouod I wait a month or so till lawn gets green then use weed and feed it’s to much fertilising plz let me know

[@aaronziino9181]

What exactly is the difference between the regular seasol and the seasol for lawns?

[@ashh3051]

The lawn version has nitrogen I believe, so it's like a liquid fertiliser at the same time. That's why ben said he's using the normal version here to avoid any risk of burning the lawn.

[@GWHAWK87]

I still don't know what it does lol!! Other than it does good stuff for soils and is stanky. What is in it that feeds the microbes?

[@GWHAWK87]

Also loved the graphic skillz

[@LawnTips]

Haha thanks mate. Organic content and humic substances help a lot to feed the microbes in the soil! It’s not an instant thing though. Takes a few apps to really start working it’s magic

[@mikew2095]

Big plot mate - what location are you in? Would never get a lawn that big on a basic new build here in the Gold Coast these days. Section sizes absolute rubbish and prices through the roof even for a shitty apartment (no garden/lawn). Count yourself lucky being so young you got in before this whole sh*tstorm we’ve now got here in Aussie with first home buyers - The days of young blokes easily getting into their new build homes on a decent block o land and having a lawn to tend are fast fading. It’s a disgrace - all by design and corruption too! Cheers mate

It may or may not be relavent to this video.....but can you tell me why my santa Anna couch would be going to seed days after cutting and getting stalkish. Its there a reason for this and can I fix it?

[@LawnTips]

Hey mate, a couple of times a year couch just goes to seed. Not much you can do apart from apply Plant Growth Regulators. They help to suppress seed heads. When you say stalkish do you mean tree like? Sort of a trunk then the leaves on top? If so, sounds like you need to scalp the lawn back a bit.

[@haydlew]

yeah the thick stalks are from the new seed development. Thanks for the response. I'm hoping we get a storm this afternoon so I can through some down. Thanks again

[@LawnTips]

No worries mate!

[@Griggsy2529]

Hey mate I watched your hortex calibration video, with the seasol did you work out 500ml of concentrate per 100sq metres and if so just bit confused on how u had your hortex set on dial 3 with the screw out, as you calibration vid you had it set on dial 10 at the same rate of 500ml over 100sq metres,sorry dude just trying to work out the rate for my yard and don’t want to apply the wrong rate

[@LawnTips]

Hey mate, I don’t recommend these hortex sprayers anymore sorry. They don’t apply products evenly. I even found after calibration they still didn’t output the chemical correctly!

[@Griggsy2529]

Ok mate got some seaweed secrets and stimulizer from the plant doctor they look the goods what’s your opinion with the best way to apply these to my lawn other than the hortex

[@originalmorrisps4302]

This breaks my heart I just bought one for seasol

[@Michael_Zink]

Have you worked it out? I have the same question. Thanks

[@joshuag7254]

Did you work it out? 100sqm is going to be hard.

[@krump743]

@@joshuag7254 I would hazard a guess that you work out how much water it takes for u to spray an area of say 5mx5m (25m2). Let's say u use 800mls of water to spray this 5x5 area, so then you times that by 4 (25m2x4=100m2) which is 3200mls of water. So it will take 3200mls of water for u to spray 100m2. Then to work out the chemical just times the 10ml x 20 (which is 5m2 x 20 =100m2) so 10ml x 20 = 200mls. So 200mls of seasol in 3200mls of water will get 100m2 coverage. You need to calibrate ur sprayer first tho to get a tru number. These are just examples of how the math works. But I could be wrong tho my understanding of it anyway.
