Excellent video and really well explained,i will try all these products as it all seems to make perfect sense and the proof is in the great colour and condition of your grass
Hi NG, something else to consider other than cordless is a rear roller push cylinder mower. I recently got a Webb H12R and its been a game changer. A cheap route into cylinder/reel mowing, and would be perfect for your lawn. Results are far better than my petrol rear roller rotary and somehow more enjoyable too.
It's funny you've mentioned that as I've been looking at picking up something similar for the small lawn at the back of my garden. Is it this one: www.amazon.co.uk/WEBB-H12R-30cm-Roller-Mower/dp/B01AYAAMEY
@@NoviceGardenerYes, that's the one. Although the linked one seems pricey. I got a bargain grade-a manufacturer refurb for £55 from an auction site. Also there are lots to be had 'good as new' 2nd hand. People tend to get rid as they don't realise your lawn already has to be in good nick to use this type of mower. The H12R isn't perfect, but it gives a beautiful cut and shouldn't be overlooked. It's basically a cheaper modern lightweight copy of the 1970's reel mowers like the Ransomes Ajax. I'll probably buy a classic mower also, as they were built to last.
@@NoviceGardenerI was actually going to ask before I seen this in the comments, I was going to ask you if you’d ever get into reel mowing? Only thing with that is you need to be cutting lawn very other day
Great video, if anyone can't find room for keeping a big knapsack sprayer I recommend the Birchmeier Aquamix handheld sprayer, it's really good and better than any handheld alternative I reckon. I also rate the Gardena handheld spreader for granular products / seeds etc.
The Great video and the advices 👍. After applications mixed Seaweed extract and the Wetting agent you have to water in for 20-30 min following day or immediately or never. Thank you a have a great day.
Nice one! 👍🏻 I only water in granular fertilisers. With seaweed and wetting agent, I just leave it. Despite that, it always seems to be watered anyway with the rain we've had this summer!
Hey love the videos there really helpful we also have heavy clay but have a decline in the garden but it also waterlogs down one side any ideas wat would be worth trying? Do u have the link to the grass items u use?
Can you apply the fertiliser year round considering it’s called spring summer? Thanks in advanced. Really enjoy the videos - nice to see some UK guys making gardening videos as most of them are not relevant due to them being in the US!
Thanks! Technically, yes. But I wouldn't. You can get winter fertilisers that you can start applying once it gets colder. They contain less nitrogen because the grass is not actively growing and they contain more potassium which just helps the lawn to be more resilient in the harsh conditions. Hope that helps!
I have done a few times just because it's been hard to find a break in this weather! It's better when it's dry, but cutting every so often when it's damp/wet is ok to do 👍🏻
Hey mate, Really appreciate your videos. You are my go to for lawn maintenance! I have a question, Is it ok to put down the fertiliser, wetting agent and seaweed solution all down at the same time?
Nice one mate, cheers! All good to get them down at the same time! I whack them all in the sprayer in one go. Just check the bottles for whatever you're using to make sure that they are ok to be mixed, but most of the time it's fine.
I've killed off all the grass in my garden. It's a new build and was just awful in general. Anyhow I'm gonna rotavate it this weekend. However I'm heading on holidays next week. Would it be best to rotavate, level the soil and leave to settle till I'm back from holidays before reseeding
You can do, but it does give it to be warmer with less rain from next week. I've just done a similar thing. I levelled the lawn yesterday and I'm going to seed today. But it won't do any harm giving it another week whilst you're away. Just be sure to get it watered in well!
@@NoviceGardener Thank you! The weather is awful here in Ireland right now so the gardens like a swamp. I'm gonna wait till next week anyhow before I do it and hopefully it dries up a bit.
Love the videos, it’s nice that you don’t claim to be an expert and provide realistic, no-nonsense advice. Something that does frustrate me is that overgrown mess of grass to the left of your front door. Your other lawns look great but that bit looks tatty! Do you have a plan to change it so you’re not bothering...? Keep up the good work mate, just a shame about all the Liverpool FC clothing you wear (from a Forest fan)
Nice one! 🤣 I've almost become blind to that patch at the side of the house, although it is the first thing people mention when they come round to the house! 🤣 I'm planning to get stones down in that space this summer. I'll kill it off first with some weed killer.
For a thick, lush lawn, it's not just about regular watering and fertilization - mowing is pivotal, especially in summer. It's crucial not to cut more than 1/3 of the grass's height, as it can weaken the turf. During hot spells, mow higher and less frequently. My lawn maintenance was a challenge until I invested in a robot mower. It mows as often as every day, ensuring optimal lawn health. For manual mowing enthusiasts, it's essential to use sharp blades and mow regularly. Just remember, mowing too much off in one go isn't recommended. It's all about consistency. Before my robot mower, weekend mowing was the norm, and rain disrupted my routine. Now, with a smartphone command, I can direct my robot mower, which also intelligently schedules mowing sessions based on the weather. If you're pondering a robot mower, check your lawn's layout first, as they're less effective on fragmented lawns. A bonus? You can save on fertilizers, as the fine clippings act as a natural nutrient boost. Plus, robot mower blades are budget-friendly. However, bear in mind the initial cost can be substantial. lawns are cheap, however the more the owners become obsessed with their lawn the more expensive the seem to get 🧐
Your grass will be going to bounce back (says youtuber Lawn life). I have no experience when the grass turn black if you over aplly iron, but your soil is very acid, low ph. Maybe calcium fertilizer helps increase ph of your soil and prepare the better conditions for your grass.
Like was user has said, it will be the iron content being slightly too high. I've got a video coming out about iron at the end of this week. My lawn discoloured slightly for a day or two and then turned dark green - I must have been on the brink of applying too much!
Cheers. It has done fair bit of damage and grass is now like straw in places. Il wait and see how it goes and if need be top dress and reseed. Il look foward to video
It does! 🤣 I've just let it grow wild this year. I've changed my mind that many times about what I want to put in this space. Hopefully I'll do something with it next year!
Definitely cutting your lawn on a regular basis is good for the lawn,but as we all know it's down to the type of weather here in the UK that we get depends on how often you cut it 😂😂😂

Cheers! 👍🏻
Apply it on a monthly basis for the best results.

Good video, thanks for sharing. Question I have on seaweed.
is it a spring summer only or all year round application?
Cheers 👍🏻
It's all year round for the seaweed.
Bought the A1 seaweed and sprayed on today. Hoping to see a difference in the next few days
Thanks for the tips! Is it ok to cut the grass when it is damp/wet from all the rain we are getting at the moment?

What height is your lawn in this video? Thanks for all your advice.
No problem!
It's around 25mm in this video.
i like your videos but like them even more now i've noticed the LFC shorts 😉😁

I used lawn sand yestetday and some parts have turned black. Will it grow back or is there and advice you could give?
maybe too much iron turns your grass to black
@@MartinKubajs will i grow back if i leave it. Had it looking great. Kicking myself for putting the sand down
Your grass will be going to bounce back (says youtuber Lawn life). I have no experience when the grass turn black if you over aplly iron, but your soil is very acid, low ph. Maybe calcium fertilizer helps increase ph of your soil and prepare the better conditions for your grass.

Does anyone know of a liqud seaweed fertilizer that's available in Europe too? I can only find one's that ship to UK or US :/
Have you tried the Envii seaweed that you can pick up on Amazon? Not sure where they ship.
@@NoviceGardener will check it out, thanks! found some locally harvested seaweed, will try that first
Great stuff but that bit next to you needs a good strim.
It does! 🤣
I've just let it grow wild this year. I've changed my mind that many times about what I want to put in this space. Hopefully I'll do something with it next year!

It's an absolute nightmare at the moment! One dry spell and I'm out there! 🤣
@@NoviceGardener yh same here mate,one little but if rain and the grass grow so fast,
Buy a petrol mower a battery mower only lasts 30mins then needs charging
