Being in Canada and still buried under a few feet of snow, it was probably a bit soon for KZbin to serve this up in my feed but I will take it as a sign of hope that the end of winter is coming. I had the best lawn in the neighborhood following your tips last year and look forward to duplicating that success this year!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Great to hear 💚💚💚

[@stuartbirth4500]

Thanks

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Thank you for your support 😊🙏

[@marstonpwilderx4356]

Another excellent video. Your advice over the past couple of years has turned my harsh looking lawn, with loads of weed grass, to one that looks beautifully green and fine and has received compliments from my neighbours and family. The very first scarify, seed and top soil was a nervous time during a particularly cold Spring, with patience it paid off amazingly. Many thanks and wishing you all the best.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Glad to help, thanks for the wonderful feedback 😊

[@PrincessCutLawnCare]

Sup Robbie! Hows winter treatin ya?? Cant wait to get back in the lawn!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Do you guys get much snow?

[@PrincessCutLawnCare]

@@Premier_lawns_official yes, historically we get a ton of snow although this year it has been relatively snow free. Unfortunately it’s constantly been below freezing 😞

[@Premier_lawns_official]

@@PrincessCutLawnCare we get very mild weather here in Northern Ireland, I'm beside the coast, so although we do get frosts... It's not super freezing

[@neurodivergejyn4140]

I’m in Oregon which I have always though was on par with Ireland or a Scotland 😂 but we get soooo much rain! My issue is everything is covered in moss. You can cook it and it will come right back. I’ve redone my entire lawn and I can never completely get rid of the moss because once the summer comes and the grass goes dormant and dies off especially with crazy heat waves the moss is super happy to fill that spot come winter! I’ve just don’t have the financial ability to invest in tons of products so I’m doing my best with what I have!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Moss comes and goes, you can't really stop it. Mother nature always finds a way. My channel focuses on how to get a good lawn without spending a fortune.

[@stevenbuckley1416]

Happy New year Robbie to you and your gardening team!! Forked my front lawn today and sprayed with Pro-Kleen iron sulphur.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Perfect 👌

[@markcromie3572]

Should we go with the iron sulphate an some liquid seaweed then next month a light scarify or leave sorry I'm tryna get the right process to these green lawns u have mate lol

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I tend to do two good doses of iron over the winter, one before Christmas and then another in Jan, I would also use some seaweed too, then in March the lawn sand goes on. Over the rest of the year I don't use much iron

[@markcromie3572]

Thanks for that mate. I'm trying lol. Cheers

[@squirrelarch]

Great stuff. Happy new year Robbie. I was curiously amused when you moved in closer to the camera just as you said the word “thatch”. Sorry about that.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I used to be scared of the camera! Not so much now. Happy new year to you too

[@paulentwistle1204]

All the best for the new year, the studio looks good. I have lawn sand which I bought through your link after you did a video on it. My question is when should I spread that on the lawn? Thanks.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Paul, it's a little early yet for the lawn sand. March is perfect to use it, it will help waken up your lawn and get it off to a good start

[@OCDLawncare]

[@Premier_lawns_official]

It depends, some people do it once a month. I apply iron around 3 times...

[@garryhingley1]

do you ever have to deal with mole hills in the lawn and how?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Move to Ireland, we don't have any here

[@SRM_NZ]

The one little detail you didn't mention with iron.....if I use a liquid I will buy a cheap as spray bottle as the iron will damage all of the seals really quickly...so to use an expensive bottle is throwing your money away.,..if you use the granular, make sure you don't get it on your outdoor stone work...it will stain your stone with spots of rust if left on the stone and then gets wet.....There are some product that will clean off the rust stains but is very expensive...and you can't use products like CRC....

[@Lewis-te6re]

Can I use organic liquid seaweed across my lawn now to help it at all? Will it green it up a bit? It's a bit yellow atm. Don't wanna put the wrong thing down.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Seaweed isn't used to green up a lawn, seaweed improves the soil. You should give the iron a go

[@richardgould1978]

Spot on Robbie......I've put iron and seaweed on couple of weeks ago and I'll bang some on tomorrow 👌 👍. Can't wait for spring tho......still battling those leather jackets. Going to treat with nematodes spring and autumn which will be the 4th treatment counting last year. All for the sake of grass !!!! 👍

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Nematodes are very hit and miss, have you tried using a black sheet and sheet and sweeping them up

[@richardgould1978]

@Premier_lawns_official thought about it but not tried it yet. Do I put it on over night then sweep them up in the morning?

[@wayneessar7489]

@@richardgould1978 Do it when the turf is drenched and soaking wet and use black plastic that is thick enough to block the light. In the morning the buggers will still be on the surface because they don't know it is morning.

So what do you do if you have inherited a lawn that is super overgrown and needs to be reduced by about 3/4 of it's length?

[@tanyaperry230]

What about if your lawn has got a bit too long and the highest setting will take off more than 1/3?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

If you have to take more off, then so be it. Just don't do it on a regular basis

[@jimpatrick608]

How often should you apply iron Robbie?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

That will depend on what you are trying to achieve. Two or three doses over the winter and into the spring is a great way to stay on top of the moss

[@buttonman6262]

Thanks for this!👍🏻 I’ve seen another video where they add washing up liquid in with their iron sulphate/water mix to help the iron get into the soil. Is this something that works?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Washing up liquid is a detergent and will damage your soil Keep it on your kitchen board

[@buttonman6262]

@@Premier_lawns_official Will do!👍🏻

[@dhutch2000]

What's your thoughts on lawn sand, if people have a decent rotary spreader but don't have a backpack sprayer? I can do soluble iron with a watering can but with 500sqm it takes nearly a day!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I would invest in a sprayer as it will give you more options. However lawn sand is fantastic to use in the spring or autumn, I use it every March. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3fFaJ2wgpxor7M

[@Alien_Observer_]

My lawn is really bad with moss. If I apply some iron now will it be ok leaving the scarifying until early March? I take it I would need to over seed after?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Hard to say about the over seeding. Though that will always help. The iron will help keep the bay in the meantime

[@thestaffordshirelawncareco]

Help / question: I have only just started out and need to quote a 400sqm lawn to be scarified, is there a going rate to work out the cost per sqm? I was thinking in the region of £200

[@Premier_lawns_official]

How did you get that figure?

[@thestaffordshirelawncareco]

Just taking into account time that would be needed to do several passes and waste removal. Too high?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Do you own all the tools needed, scarifier, blower etc or are you hiring tools

@@Premier_lawns_official got all tools apart from aerator that will be cost £45 for a days hire

It depends, if you are happy with that price you will get plenty of work as it's on the cheaper end of the scale. Though you will be leaving money on the table that could otherwise be in your pocket
