Autumn Lawn Care Guide - A Beginners Guide to the Perfect Autumn Lawn

[@romestunna_1227]

Most definitely the best time of the year for lawn care and renovation,my lawn is looking greener than ever at this of the year,great video again mate

[@Wright289]

I think i've watched most of your renovation in the past week, very informative and inspiring for my renovating my lawn after my first home purchase last month! Thanks.

[@sk190]

Great channel. I personally prefer to scarify in spring - when the grass is actively growing and will bounce back faster. I do however aerate in august. Whatever works for you tho.

[@NoviceGardener]

Cheers mate. I agree, spring is always best because you know it’s always getting warmer, etc.

Fertilised with A1 autumn /winter and put seaweed on my lawns yesterday 😂

[@NoviceGardener]

Great minds!

[@gnomids]

Which seaweed product do you use? Do you spray 12 months of the year? Great video and I appreciated keeping it simple.

[@NoviceGardener]

Cheers 👍🏻 I used to spray it monthly, but I haven't been recently. Every couple of months is always a good shout though. It's especially important is your soil is nutrient deprived.

[@pauld7861]

Laughing at your dog going to the same spot & renovating your hard work 😂 Lawns still looking great mate considering you scarified it just shows how good a job you have actually done Dying to get out to get tore into mines but this rain is very unforgiving in Glasgow.

[@NoviceGardener]

I try and get out whenever we get a break in the weather. The rain is relentless at the moment!

@@NoviceGardener the whole year I think May was the only properly decent month well it was up here. Still love the content but mate keep it up

[@stevenbelcher5658]

Upped my setting on the drop spreader as it was getting late and it was empty 70% the ways through the first pass lol.

[@rocketron9]

Are you using a separate sprayer for your weed killer/seaweed or are you going with a a really good rinse out? Love the channel BTW 👍

[@NoviceGardener]

I’ve got two of the same sprayers just to save having to get all the weed killer out. It’s a bit overkill, but it avoids any worry! 😅

[@rocketron9]

@@NoviceGardener great thanks 👍

[@ZippeeKaiYay]

Worm casts are my biggest nemesis at the moment.

[@NoviceGardener]

They drive me mad. Not managed to get a good solution to them yet!

[@bitTorrenter]

​@@NoviceGardener Aren't the worm casts as source of fertiliser?

[@alexwroe9967]

Great video thanks! Are you sure it is safe to use the fertiilizer (particularly with the iron content) so soon after seeding? I have been told otherwise by the place I bought my seeds/fertilizer and I'm annoyed because I over-seeded before I realised it could be a problem! Cheers

[@NoviceGardener]

Cheers! It's no problem putting it down at this stage. This fertilser has quite a low iron content compared to some off the shelf stuff. But it's still ok at this point 👍🏻

[@uy1991uy]

Hoping you can provide some advice. If seeding a new lawn, when would you put down pre seed fertiliser? Can it be put down same time as the seeds? Or well in advance? Or again, it won’t kill anyone so doesn’t really matter 😂

[@David-wh7rm]

If seeding a completely new lawn it's best to put pre-seed fertiliser down when you're putting the seeds down then cover both with compost. If overseeding a current lawn then it's best to put pre-seed down about 4-5 weeks after you put seed down.

[@chriscole3624]

Pre-seed fertiliser is very close to the Autumn/winter NPK ratios (see the video) so given it's that time of year you could just use that. I think as long as you use a good compost to cover your seeds as David-wh7rm mentioned, germination rates are high (as long as your not using old seed (see a video from Sams lawn)) without adding a pre-seed fertiliser. Once it's growing put down a dose of the autumn/winter fertiliser.

[@David-wh7rm]

@@chriscole3624 tbh I'd use autumn winter fertiliser too if overseeding, as it has iron which is good for helping with moss. Better than pre-seed without iron. I only wouldn't use this if I was seeding from new as putting down fert at the same time as seed isn't good when it has iron in it

[@chriscole3624]

@@David-wh7rm Good info David! The ICL sportsmaster fert I use has no iron in it. So I guess the take away info is keep an eye out for 'Fe' in the info of the fertiliser. And use accordingly.

[@NoviceGardener]

It’s best to put down a week before it a week after seeding. It aids with germination. There’s no harm putting it down a week after as long as you can see some germination 👍🏻

[@markpearce9951]

What do you do for moss control on your lawn? Does the Iron in the fertiliser take take of it?

[@bitTorrenter]

It's acidic isn't it? Iron Sulphate.

[@GW._.]

Do you use any humic acid it’s transformed my new build soil over the last 5 years

[@NoviceGardener]

I’ve not, but it is something I’m looking to try
