In today's video, I finally lay the bent/fescue turf in my own garden!
It's a tiny lawn, but it's going to be incredible!

Looks good, will be interested to see how much maintenance and feeding it will need.

Looking forward to the cylinder mower review, I bought a hayter hawk after your review

What a great job you did of laying that turf mate, apart from the odd line you would barely have known you laid turf down. You’ve sold it to me. I’m going to see how the mix of seed I’m using this year performs during winter. If it goes thin badly I think I’m going to have to switch up to bent fescue lawns.

Cheers 👍🏻 The big test is winter - looking forward to seeing how it's looking by next Feb!

Good job! Well done! as good if not better than some professional turfers, and you know it has been done correctly.

Thanks so much for this!! I know nothing about gardening or lawns but my garden of 6 years needs to stop being storage space and an actual garden! After being scared by quotes from professionals, ive decided to give it a go myself and after watching your first video, I had a good feeling about maybe trying it for myself! You've even convinced me not to go for artificial grass!! I'll let you know how I get on! Cheers!

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

That's class! Glad I've swayed you away from artificial! Real grass obviously requires more maintenance, but it's worth it

Following this project with great interest. Tillers provide a number of turf variations. Do you know which one they have supplied to you?

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

It's their bent fescue on soil. They do a fair few different types.

I hope for you, that it works... Not to wet etc. Greetings from Germany

Glad u came round to my way of thinking eventually when I suggested on ur previous videos turf like this usually available all year round and time saved not doing as ur previous videos

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

So much more convenient if someone doesn't have the time. With seed, watering can be tricky depending on the day job!

Good video as always. I’ll be watching to see what it looks like in a few months. With regards to cylinder mowers my view is you need one if you’re serious about cutting lawns properly. But I take your fiancé point that at some point the channel might need a name change but your not there yet. I picked up an Allett Liberty 35 secondhand from eBay a few weeks ago and I’m really pleased with it. If Allett are good enough for Anfield they’re good enough for my garden. Not having to wrestle to start a petrol mower each time is also amazing. Keep up the good work YNWA.

Nice one 👍🏻 I'm already cutting the seeded bent fescue on the second lowest setting on the rotary and can tell it could do with being cut a bit shorter. Quality of cut from a cylinder makes a huge difference too. Got a notification to say that it's on the way today, so hopefully not too long before I can get on with it!

@BRIAN-fi5ub 4 ай бұрын

Will be very interesting to see what way it looks a year from now, maybe you'll start a trend but we will wait and see like we all do!!

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

I'm looking forward to seeing how it does over the winter. It will show how good it really is then.

@ZippeeKaiYay 4 ай бұрын

Nice job. Look forward to seeing the cylinder mower soon. How long do you think it will be before first cut on the seeded bent / fescue lawn. Seems to grow much slower so guessing maybe up to 8 wks or more from seeding?

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

Cheers 👍🏻 It's had a few cuts this week and it's starting to really thicken up. Got a few pictures on my Instagram of how it's doing. Hoping to get a video out in the next week or so.

How much time, effort and money would you have saved if you done this from the start ?

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

The only way to learn is to give stuff a go. Some stuff will work, some stuff won't. Learnt more from what didn't work as well.

@chrisjinks5414 4 ай бұрын

you cant be a novice forever, you must do a lot of research on the products, tools and methods and it really shows, and you don't need to be a novice to create a video for a novice, or someone at the start of their journey.

@dwalker7720 3 ай бұрын

how did you cut the turf ? what did you use to cut the turf

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

I just used a stanley knife

@JonathanPalomboPhoto 4 ай бұрын

Could you put some links either in your descriptions or insta of the products you use as i notice the iron you use from A1 is no longer available and the seaweed so wondering if they have chnaged brands. Dont want to buy the wrong product

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

Not sure if they're still doing it. Not used the iron this year and only used the seaweed back in Feb. I'm going to go without this year to see if it makes a difference not using it.

@leefenton9477 4 ай бұрын

True grass - is that available in different sizes? Haven’t heard of that

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

It comes in 2kg bags, but it does say on the website that you can email about larger quantities and they can sort it.

@bennyboysutton 4 ай бұрын

Looking good mate! What type of cylinder mower did you purchase? I’ve been drooling over some of the Allett mowers for a few years but my lawn is so small i cant justify the cost unfortunately.

@johnseymour1106 4 ай бұрын

Think he's said Allett Cambridge in an earlier video. The Cobra Fortis seems to have very good reviews on YT and much cheaper.

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

Like John said, the Cambridge 43. I've been after an Allett for around 3 years and like you said, justifying the cost is the main thing! If I didn't have this KZbin channel, I think it would have been a solid no in my house 🤣

@Messimagician83 4 ай бұрын

Is this being sold in seed form or just turf?

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

You can get the same turf, but you can buy bent fescue mixes to grow it yourself

@SuperChalkster 4 ай бұрын

you need to water it a lot. obviously you would know that but just saying. it does look good like, but i watch dan hibbert i think anyone that likes lawn care would like to see his work as he is very professional, i just heard him say a few times now that actually a healthy lawn you should be able to see soil, otherwise the grass just outcompete eachother and get disease

@NoviceGardener 3 ай бұрын

With bent and fescue, you need to scarify to take from the lawn as it has the opposite problem to rye. Rye can't naturally thicken itself, so over seeding is the best way to combat it thinning. With bent and fescue, the more you prune, the thicker it becomes, so scarifying needs to remove some to keep it healthy.
