Tui were kind enough to send me a LawnForce Broadcast Spreader to use and test out on the channel. Luckily my front lawn was due for a fertilise so it came in very handy!

Ryegrass Lawn Overseed featuring Disease and Bare Spots
Переглядів 337День тому
In an attempt to thicken up my ryegrass lawn I decided to do a light scarify and overseed and a light topdress. It started off well but unfortunately a bit of disease got hold in the lawn and resulted in a bit of damage and some set backs. In this video I go over the process and repair the bare spots caused by the disease and overview of my overseeding process. Enquiries - kiwilawnie@gmail.com

    The issue I have with this and the scotts spreader ( same one different name ) is that the hollow wheels tend to trap the fertilizer and create stripes or burns.

      That is a good point actually I will keep an eye on that as I continue to use the spreader and see if it becomes an issue. Thanks for watching

    • @KiwiLawnie
      @KiwiLawnie 19 днів тому

      Hi mate! Some people swear by rolling after seed and topdress. I have never bothered and haven't had any issues. I think it's a personal preference thing haha. Generally once the lawn is dry after spraying it will be safe but I would recommend reading the label thoroughly on whichever product you are using as all the information will be on there.

    • @KiwiLawnie
      @KiwiLawnie 20 днів тому

    Hey mate, great video. I’ve got the same Ryobi scarifier but only used to Reno my kikuyu, I now have ryegrass in my front lawn and it’s got quite a bit of dead brown material. Was wondering if you used the thick scarifying blades or the thin dethatching prongs , I bought the later as an attachment and it’s less intrusive in the lawn. Cheers

    • @KiwiLawnie
      @KiwiLawnie Місяць тому

      Thanks for your comment mate! I think I will end up sloping it probably just take the timber out and dig the soil down lower and place timber back in I think it will be the best overall look!!! Hope you enjoy the progress of this lawn growing in thanks mate!

  • @michaelnash769
    @michaelnash769 Місяць тому

    Could you maybe put some sand down on that bit of grass to raise the level of the grass to be flush with the timber? Being couch it will fill in real quick as you already know

    • @KiwiLawnie

  • @Mattk49
    @Mattk49 Місяць тому

    Ok so you have a few options here. Option 1 dont be lazy and just use the weedeater....😂 Option 2 ( my suggestion) dig in the timber to match the driveway level. Will limit what you can do for the garden edge though. Option 3 remove garden and have couch right through to the footpath 😊😊😊

    • @KiwiLawnie
      @KiwiLawnie Місяць тому

      Unfortunately option 3 got shot down by the boss of the house. Option 2 seems to be the general consensus among the viewers. Option 1 sounds unreasonable to me. Thanks for your input pal

  • @AlexCheddarUK
    @AlexCheddarUK Місяць тому

    looks a bit fiddly to cut the timber, can you just dig it down at the driveway end so it matches the slope of the lawn or will the wood become worm food

    • @KiwiLawnie
      @KiwiLawnie Місяць тому

      Hi mate if you just have some small areas that are a bit thin I would just first make sure the soil is not too hard if it is compacted loosen lightly with a rake or something to try and get the top of the soil a bit fluffy and grooved so the seed can settle in, then just spread your seed on top by hand. Then I would cover the seed with some kind of soil material like potting mix, lawn soil, sand whatever you have and keep it watered as per normal seeding and it should work well. If the whole lawn is generally thin I would just overseed the whole lawn and then topdress the areas you think are bare. Hope that helps let me know if you have any more questions and how you get on thanks mate!

    • @KiwiLawnie
      @KiwiLawnie Місяць тому

      Hey thanks so much that's awesome feedback glad you enjoy the videos haha!! Not sure exactly how much but approx $45 for the seed/fert. The sand/soil mix approx $80. Not much $ for the spray as the rates are so low. Overall it's not much really, assuming you already have some equipment. Cost a lot more if you bought all the equipment. Of course you could scarify by hand etc if you were really keen lol.
