Ali, after planting and raking/burying the grass seed in the soil you always put down a rather generous layer of HAY over the seed. REMEMBER! Birds are visual animals, and they get attracted to any visible food particles such as seed in the lawn. When sowing the grass seed, rake the seed, so it's buried or covered by the topsoil. Distracting them is not the answer because once they devour the distraction meal they will revisit and devour the all you can eat grass seed buffet.
Ok great info thanks
The decor in the kitchen is coming along quite nicely. However, although the kitchen stools are quite nice and stylish, they don't seem to support the back and can cause bad posture while sitting.
Really love your videos, Ali! You are so intelligent and nice! The way you explain everything, I just love watching these videos....educational in a way!!!!
Really enjoying watching the progress of your home! Cannot wait to see everything come together ☺️
Ali, your videos explaining and talking through your workouts really help my husband, he's trying to build strength in his back again after a lorry accident many years ago, and he just finds the way you talk through things so helpful 👏
Ali, this is way late, but for the moss problem, maybe use the hardwood ash from your fireplace to spread on the grass. It will raise the soil pH, which Moss doesn't like. I saw some owl🦉 statuary at the Garden Center you visited, and since you like owls 🦉, they might scare the pheasants away, that or Porter. You're a pleasure too watch.
You have nothing to lose by spray painting the outlet covers with an antique brass or bronze, whatever you're going for, until you can replace them.
Good idea.
It’s was lovely to see porter out and about 🐾🐾🖤🤎
Not sure wether somebody recommended this already in the comments, but a tip for next year: sow your seeds later when the temperatures are higher. The seeds will germinate and be "birdsafe" much quicker, rather then lying around on the cold ground doing nothing for weeks.
Lovely video as usual by the way, thanks Ali :)
Kitchen stools are looking bit uncomfortable to sit nd have food
surprisingly not bad at all I thought the same at first
Adore Ali and this channel!
I never thought about workouts in that way thank you for the insight and new way of looking at it
🙏🏻
A suggestion, possibly change the sockets just in the kitchen for now and eventually go room by room?
The panic blinking is adorable!
Awww...the panic blinking..I felt for you there. I loved your house before, but I also love the direction it's headed now. It has that warm, rustic, country home vibe.
The panic blinking is absolutely adorable Ali please don’t ever lose your panic blinking !!!! Lol! Good vibes to you both as always from Australia 🇦🇺
Worked all day in my garden. Got the blackberrys all cleaned up the raspberries as well. Trans planted so strawberry’s. Most of my in door garden starts are up in two week should be ready for the cold frame. It is so exciting to see spring come. Cheers🥂
Looking good, looking forward to the tour!
Couldn’t get enough for this lovely vlog, it’s always just so peaceful watching you doing and talking 🥰
Hello Ali, my OCD with your shed 😬 good choice for the moss reducing lawn feed, also my fight with moss, was to de-thatch each year, and a good aeration bi-annually, along with good fertilizer, and an automatic sprinkler system... all that (even though it sounds a lot)
has almost eliminated my moss problem, hope this may give you a little help, if you can't get aeration done in GB, walk around a lot with your golf cleats on, stabbing the lawn with a fork as you go. Good Luck 💚🍁
Nothing more satisfying than watching a guy working out 😻😍
I really liked your "before" kitchen! especially the lights above the center island. I think the new lights are a little bit small and almost get lost up there. also there is too much green now for my taste :( but as long as you both like it, that's the most important thing. nevertheless we will see a complete make-over in a year from now :D
That was my exact thought 💭 overall new kitchen is quite nice, however you can’t see a big difference at least on camera. But the central island lights are too dim as well as the lighting of the kitchen on the whole(( I’m not sure makeover was worth it all🤔
Hi Ali, have you thought of using Greenthumb, they look after your lawn with various treatments throughout the year. Made such a difference to our lawn. They price it up buy square meters. I have a tiny lawn compared to yours and have been using them for a few years and it's made a huge difference. It's greener and has no more moss. Good luck x
Now I know what you remind me of... a Disney prince!
LOL... True!
19:00 Ali just bought 4 more boxes of “bird seed” 😁. Those birds are going to get soooo fat in this garden!
Hahahaha
@@AliGordon Not to worry Ali! We've been doing the same and recently bought dried worms. We're trying to give options 😂
Oh and we've got two babies in a nest, so worth it!
They're the best fed birds in Britain!
Do prefer the old pendants, they made such a bold statement these are on the small side!
I’m just going to say that what you said about Monday training is brilliant, don’t know why I haven’t thought of that. I always start Monday with lower body as that’s what my plan says, but it takes me much longer than upper and it’s much harder so often I procrastinate for ages before I start or skip it completely 🙈 I’m definitely going to change my routine, great advice. Thank you 🙏☺️
I'm so in to this lifestyle you have, loving all the home decor, that floor is incredible, and so enjoying the garden content, you are both smashing it 👌🏻
The scarecrows are pretty useless I think!
You should try cover the lawn seed with some soil. If the pheasants cannot see the seeds they will not be attracted in your garden!
I love that time of the year that is still cold outside (I hate the warm summer days) but the preparations in the garden are on!
Have you ever tried Tamagoyaki? It’s a Japanese style omelette and it’s D E L I C I O U S
It’s pretty easy to make it at home too!
some really nice work out tips. nice to know this can be felt by people who are super fit to. v motivating. thank you
Two gorgeous ball trees 🌳 🌳 where you milk containers just out the back entrance would look beautiful in two big pots. It looks a little plain and those silver cans do nothing you need height under the gorgeous lights on your outdoor patio because it’s such a beautiful space but it needs some greenery just suggesting. Similar to your orange trees 🌳 down stairs?
Enjoyable content as always!
We usually cover our grass seed with a light covering of hay to keep the birds and wild turkeys away.
How are those stools by the way? They are very pretty and look great, but are they comfortable?
Get yourself some Lawn Magic from Richard Jackson on QVC, it’s brilliant stuff, it’s bright green and they use it in sports fields
etc.
Thanks never heard of this stuff before 👍🏻
Hi Ali cutting grass to short encourages moss too! my husband loves his garden so just asked him , he always uses the lawn raker and lawn feed with moss killer you were originally thinking about.
Have you considered investing in a sprinkler system for your garden? We’ve had one for years and it’s brilliant. Don’t forget to air-rate your lawn. xx
Hi, am not an expert on grass but we have the same moss problems around here. If I were you after this treatment I would hire a scarifier, clear the grass and then possibly do the treatment again.
They do say the trick to get great grass is to mow it everyday. Not something that I would do but it definitely works.😁🌱
You two must have been the best-dressed couple at the garden center. It's wonderful watching you two experiment and learn how garden. You could consider joining a gardening group or gardening society. The kitchen looks lovely - magazine quality. And kinda shocked you both don't want a gas stove. Cooking on gas is amazing.
I was recently reading up on spring yard clean up as spring is creeping in here. I always get out and clean mine as early as possible. I was surprised to read this year that amongst the leaves and debris is where all the beneficial insects are nesting and to clean up too early destroys them. I’m going to try to delay clean up a couple of weeks this year, as much as it pains me to look at the mess 😂
( Maureen )Thank you for thinking about the hedgehogs and other insects ,this is exactly what I do in my garden of course it is messy and my French neighbors laugh at me , but I don’t care I have the pleasure of seeing hedgehogs wandering in my garden , keep up the good work . Bonsoir à vous de la Charente Maritime .
I love a raking time lapse! Please give a snuggle to Lumi and Porter xx
Always worthy trying Mo Bacter for the moss if the other stuff doesn't work. Not sure how friendly it is for pets, but works. We love it even thoughit is smelly! 😅
Love your kitchen! Living room update great too! Fun vlog!😃🪴
Absolutely stunning kitchen, loving the colour, floor, etc, it really has warmed up the space look forward to the finished rooms in the rest of your home, which is beyond beautifull, i think sheds have a habit of getting messy, it really bugs me too you tidy and next thing its a mess again, keeps up busy for sure, one thing i find good is storage, and hooks or nails to hang things on the wall keeps them of the floor, another great video, and i am loving all the home updates xx
Keeps us busy though I guess haha
😂😂 the little adventure quote
I love you both 😍💗.... Your home is looking beautiful.... You can see all your hard work... I got tierd just watching you doing that raking omg🤦♀️🤣
Speed clean the shed 🙌🏼
I know this will sound like a lot but I would be tempted to take up all the grass , throw it away and relay the soil underneath - find out what the best soil and layering for grass is (gravel first then soil etc) and get some grass to lay it over. That grass as you have it looks too far gone however give it a good go, I do hope you are successful but you might be chucking lots of money and chemicals on that lawn for a while!

You should get a leaf blower. It will make cleaning up the garden and patio a lot easier.
I have one but doesn't save much time tbh
possibly because I need a better one having said that
Lay down some peat moss using a peat moss spreader. It will cover the seeds and encourage faster growth.
You need to get those birds a subscription for peloton soon due to so much food 🤣🥰
Can you explain why you want to get rid of the moss? Isn’t moss easier to have in a big garden since it doesn’t need as much attention/water?
That's awesome
Unless you like raking, try using a blower to blow the leaves towards your desired location. Easier on the hands and quicker. Enjoy your and Lyds. videos.
Lovely flooring though the light grout will get dirty very quickly 🙄🙄
I have light grout and love it. I have it cleaned professionally and in between I clean small spots with grout cleaner and a Bryce. It is worth it to me.
Your training philosophy is interesting - I think it might be effective outside of the gym as well.
Adore you guys!!!!! Everything is coming out beautifully 👩❤️👨😻🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you have a leaf blower? They are absolutely fantastic and make the job of clearing leaves and mess so quick.I use mine all the time and even just for a general blast on the patio if there’s any debris and also horrible cobwebs in my garden shed! Mine is a Stihl and has a removable rechargeable battery.The greenhouse looks amazing by the way.
God bless you all ,think on the good
Ali do you collect the grass cuttings, it may be that if you don't you could possibly be spreading the moss spores around the rest of the lawn?
Your kitchen is looking really nice
How are you feeling. I remember in one of the other videos you mentioned you had some tests done and you had high stress. Honestly, you don't look well, pale and dark under your eyes. Please take care of your overall wellness.
Really enjoyed your vlogs thank you
did you find the mouse that escaped into the walls, home is looking lovely
No we think it’s out and about in the house still as we’ve found some droppings, going to have to put a humane trap out
@@AliGordon see reply below about mouse traps. 🙂👍
I use Dawn Ultra on the lawn. Amazing Results.
I have no clue what exactly they’re called but I saw another youtuber’s husband had a leaf blower that also sucked up leaves! I know you said you have a leaf blower but might be worth checking into to save yourself some time in the yard
Did you remember to use your voucher on your 2nd trip??? 😉😁
Lovely video as always
I always train the easily pumped muscles on Monday bc it makes me feel better aka boosts my ego haha so that's upper body. But I train everything twice a week, not just once. I mean this in a nice way so you don't hurt your back after being away from the squat rack for so long - slow the squat down and tuck your chin... I got back pains after lockdown when I wasn't paying attention enough to that.
( Maureen ) thank you Ali your vlogs and music are perfect .
I think daddy is getting hooked and little Porter is becoming a daddy's boy....:)
I love that porter and limit too but he's so finny
Did you get the mouse?.
Never noticed the moss before. The blossom looks amazing 🤗 this year is going so fast , I need more time to get jobs completed 😳.
Stay safe stay well xx xx
This year really is flying by. Mouse is on the loose still
I guess Lumi has no interest in catching it? My cat ( one of six) can’t get enough of the little things and brings them in if I don’t watch carefully, No, don’t beat yourself up about not using your voucher! Happens to everyone! Just make a list for next time you go and clip the voucher to it. Once the list is complete, put it in the car you use when you go. When you take your list into the garden center, you will have it in hand! Best wishes.
First view! Timed perfectly with cooking dinner 😀
Sorry Ali, but I think your idea of putting different seed out for the pheasants to distract them from your grass seed is one of your silliest ones yet!! 😂😂😂 I think what will happen is you will encourage them back! I saw the hay comment, which is a better suggestion, but that will end up spreading less desirable grass seed (from the hay). Similar idea is to spread some pea straw over top. The best idea though would be to peg out some string or netting so they can’t walk over it. Perhaps attach some tin foil to the string to deter them (??) Good luck!!
Hahaha we live and we learn, If it becomes a real struggle I may have to consider netting but it’s a bit of a faff so i’m hoping I won’t need to.
@@AliGordon You are SO right!! Most of us have the privilege of making mistakes without tens of thousands of people watching! LOL. Sometimes the faff is worth it though...(think back to the digger! LOL) xx
You cannot distract the birds only attract more...they are birds..
@@redlantern3371 yes, more seed..more mice..
Yes, I guess hay was the wrong word. Straw is better (same thing to me, but what do I know).
Good tips for the exercise, not that I do weights 😀
But did you use the voucher on the second trip 😬
It’s only available at certain GC’s and it wasn’t valid at the second one
@@AliGordon Ali, maybe keep the vouchers in the car so that they are readily available should you go out shopping.
awesome vlog..big question?? did you use the voucher?? 😆
Hahaha the mind processing was painful
Where is your gillet from?
Panic blinking...🤣❤!
I feel like you need some mirrors in front of you when you’re squating.
Yea I feel the same it helps with posture however I don’t think for a while that will happen
good stuff 👍
well.. did you use the voucher on the second trip? lol
You have a long dog and a long cat!
Ali, I am going to be annoying here, if you have high cholesterol you shouldn’t eat too much cheese! Please look after yourself!
Also bee keepers are asking gardeners not to take too much, leave the leaves so the solitary bees 🐝 have somewhere nice to sleep.
I enjoyed this vlog just please look after yourself.
I don’t have high Cholesterol I had high ish blood pressure a few weeks back. I have a solitary Bee home also i’ve yet to see any use it though
@@AliGordon sorry I thought it was high cholesterol!
What is your new kitchen faucet and sink going to look like???
Put your voucher in the car for next time 😺
Did you use that voucher the second time you went to the garden center? 🤣
Seems like Lyds REALLY wanted coffee. You should have just said yes lol. =D
Lol I thought the same thing. I have similar conversations with my husband, “are you suureeee you don’t want to grab a coffee?”
Sa bukur Ali je shume punetor
Why don’t you just turf the grass??
You may want to think about sod grass because those birdies are hungry for your grass seed...
I sorry I mean lumi
Good grief porter is so cute
Ali ? Why don’t you get a leaf blower xx
❤️🇨🇦
✌️✌️✌️Xxx
I would like to ...be an editor for ur vlogs ...u guys can check out my work ..
Ali, I will never look at your shed the same way after hitting yourself in the face with your rake :( :D
Pahahaha I forgot about that
Dethatch your grass
