Got a job on there mate. Dont burn yourself out or you will be needing another holiday abroad for Xmas😂😂In the middle of doing one myself back to bare soil after killing off, and hoping to seed and top dress later this week with johnsons prem pitch and top dress with jacks magic. Problem I am finding is we have had so much rain the soil is just too wet and messy. Wish it was a lot drier, which it should be at this time of year. But didn't want to delay it any longer in the hope we get a nice week or so of dry weather, as time is getting on now in the season. Looking forward to seeing your results. Did my mums front lawn about two weeks ago, and gave it its first mow yesterday, looking great. Surprises me how quick the prem pitch germinates and shoots up from bare soil, and how soon we can give it it's first mow. Take it easy mate.
Mate. So much on with work and this job it's insane Lucky I don't watch TV so I have plenty of time after work at the minute! There's a load of cheap compost at my local Morrisons that I might buy up at 3quid a bag and save some money instead of the jacks. Will see this week when I go to buy it. Two weeks from seed to mow is great! That's why I'm happy to do it now. Just concerned about the oaks dropping leaves but if it stops a boggy mess overwinter, I'll be happy
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub nice one mate. Let me know what the Morrisons compost is like. I need two bags of jack's but my local the range depot is currently out of stock, so if they don't get anymore in soon, I will be looking for an alternative compost to top dress, but I do find Jack's magic great stuff👍
Cheers Carl. Blown away by getting 2 k in a year! Thanks for the support. Yeah I'm looking forward to this. Will be taking a couple of days off work to core aerate and throw sand about . Fingers crossed for good weather!
I met this chap in person yesterday and asked him which grass seed he uses because his lawn looked immaculate and something I wanted to try and replicate. He took time out to explain how he does it and pointed me to this UA-cam channel! I’ll be taking on every bit of his advice given so have seen the lawn in person and it looks even better than the videos show!
Morning. No I haven't to be fair. It is essentially calcium oxide, where gypsum is 6% calcium. Reading about it now, it might be worth me putting some down to dry out the soil before adding the gypsum, as it is recommended to use this on dry soil - something I'm miles away from.at the minute!
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub yeah I thought that with how wet half the garden is. The quick lime has an endothermic reaction which heats the soil to dry it out but also breaks up the clay in the process to improve drainage. Just make sure to turn the soil slightly otherwise you will end up with a patio 😂
Great job buddy. Fingers crossed the Liquid Gypsum works for you so you can get you're back lawn looking as good as the front. Looking forward to part 2. 🙂
Cheers buddy. I keep contemplating doing the same - actually today, mowed and used a new rotavator as a verti-cutter, overseeded and top dressed using riddle & jack's magic. I grow grass in separate trays then transplant them into lawn after digging poa out but it's like fighting a losing battle but it's far better than what it was but would probably be easier just starting from scratch!!! Far from perfect but your front lawn is amazing and is inspiring me to maybe bite the bullet one day but compared to neighbours' lawns mine are like bowling greens!!! ☘️☘️☘️ I have a ton of shrubs and 30 and 40 feet trees bordering them so a lot of work constantly raking leaves, watering, digging out roots etc. But hey keep us posted please on back lawn mate - cheers for videos - really enjoy them! 👍☘️☘️
I was cringing every time you were touching your face with the gloves you used after spraying for the second time 😅 What liquid gypsum are you planning on getting? Green Care don't seem to sell any.
Hahahah. Asbestos face 🤣🤣🤣. Eutrima seem to be advertising it on my socials so will be trying that as a drum will cover my lawn twice over. And it's recommended to do it post aeration into the cores. Hope it works as the back is holding so much water this evening as its been raining all day
Im happy with my lawn at the moment but would like to overseed next year with something to get it to the next level Would you recommend the Johnsons pro
Only concern would potentially be a mis match in colour depending on the current type of grass you have, but you can resolve this with feeding and cutting regularly I suspect. Also, by scalping back fully before overseeding, and doing this twice a year this should make the Johnsons Premier the dominant grass type in your lawn.
Hello Karl. Most of my products I get from greencare. Never used anything for dew. Don't see the point personally. If I need to remove I will either brush it off or loom to buy a whip
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub thanks for the info, I'll get onto them. I've been brushing but with early work starts and darker mornings it's hard to get out before I leave. Noticing a bit of red thread recently. How would ya deal with that this time of year? I'd read something about high nitrogen feed but not too sure about that this time of year.
Treating read thread with high nitrogen just pushes growth so it grows out of the issue. Fungicides will be the only other option I believe, but this will need licensing to apply and can be expensive. I'd look to apply a high n liquid feed but at half rate as this dosent sustain very long in the grass like granular does.
Is it definitely dead after the 2 applications? Do you not need to wait for the leave to actually turn yellow/brown. Ive just sprayed my front lawn and im trying to guage when i can get on with the rootzone. Thanks
Hi Jack. I would hope so. It can take upto 2 weeks to see results though. I believe Yard Brah is struggling to kill his fescue off at the moment on on his 4th gylphosate application maybe?!?! By scalping it I have stressed the plant out too which will push it's death. I did the same thing last year on my side lawn renno and only hit it with one application of roundup and it came out OK.
@jackhardman5638 all depends on coverage and some plants may be a bit more resilient. I mossed a few bits last year but I rotovated it all and it came good.
Do you think you’ll pull this off mate. Weather is very unpredictable. Overseeded my lawn yesterday and I’m nervous. Never mind seeding a brand new lawn from scratch in autumn. Your a grafter mate hope all goes come good for you 👍
Did the same a few weeks later last year. You’ll be fine. Worst case it’s not quite fully thickened and you need to overseed again in April. But you’ll be way ahead of where you would have been if you started renovation in April 👍🏼
Main reason is to try and get it in a good fashion for winter. Sick of the dog going out and coming in black when it's a mud pit. Just need a few good days to aerate and throw some sand down.
I saw his front lawn in person yesterday and he explained how he did it, pointing me to this channel after asking which grass seed he uses! I see so many houses and his lawn is so impressive I had to ask. Fortunately he shares and best advice, follow his technique!
“It’s recycling day tomorrow” 😂😂. Absolutely brilliant. Being ‘left wing’ I can’t condone the wolf whistles but it was funny 👀😂 had a few serious obsession observations but don’t thinks now is appropriate 😂
If I can't whistle at the wife, who can I whistle at! All for the left here! I should take it back though as I was told off for not pulling my weight on the housework! Too busy making lawns great again!
How much was that weedkiller and where from may I ask and is it rated better than weedol? The spear and jackson also looks to be like the Doff rebadged>
Hi Mike. The Doff stuff I used on the first application I bought ages ago from B&M and would have been about 7quid. The Spear and Jackson I got from The Range and was 12quid. Round Up is the original gylphosate (kind of like the original coke) so carries a premium, but any gylphosate will do to kill the lawn off.
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub manual cylinders will just flatten it lol. they only cut dry grass. i'll wait until monday when its dry. cutting lot of teach the grass not to grow. it's a punishment for growing so much.
Enjoyed the video ,amused to see your wolf whistle to the wife went down like a lead balloon hee hee
Hahaha thanks Julie! It's more because I spent all day in the garden again!!!

Did you consider quick lime rather than liquid gypsum? You will likely need more fertiliser after using gypsum than you would with lime
Morning. No I haven't to be fair. It is essentially calcium oxide, where gypsum is 6% calcium.

I need it to work! With all the rain today, the back is flooded!
Are you starting from scratch mate?? Or over-seeding & top dressing??
Killed it all off. So much weed grass in it, along with weeds, starting from scratch. Did the sake this time last year (however was a bit drier!)
Cheers buddy. I keep contemplating doing the same - actually today, mowed and used a new rotavator as a verti-cutter, overseeded and top dressed using riddle & jack's magic.

I was on their website earlier and it looks pretty good. Rain has been brutal in the North West today 😲
Im happy with my lawn at the moment but would like to overseed next year with something to get it to the next level Would you recommend the Johnsons pro
Love the Johnsons Premier Pitch. Highly recommended as its cuts well and looks great. But with all grasses, look after it and it will look good!
I don't want to kill it all off I was just going to overseed with it what do you think ?

@TheReelMowingMowingClub That's what I was thinking Thank you 😊
Looking forward to part 2 and to see how you have got on with that corner in the front
Where do you buy all your liquids and granular fertilisers for your lawns? Have U used anything to reduce the dew on a lawn?
Hello Karl. Most of my products I get from greencare.
Never used anything for dew. Don't see the point personally. If I need to remove I will either brush it off or loom to buy a whip

@@TheReelMowingMowingClub perfect. I thought that was the case, surely after it's been absorbed and harmless after 24 hours, it's done it's job

Disease is killing off my lawn lol. its been non stop rain and dew for the past week. Not being able to mow hasn't helped.
Yeah the weather in certain places in the UK is terrible. Especially down south.
If it needs cutting, get it cut, rain or shine!!! 😀
