    Thats my next big job for one of my customers,, about one and a half acres to do!! Think I might get soil tested, its really thick with moss,hardly a blade of grass to be found!
    Watched a load of past vids on grass care on your channel. Thanks for all the great info mate, cheers!!!

    Quite a lot of AMG in that lawn, I've had loads appear in my front lawn courtesy of the neighbours leaving their lawns to grow very long and go to seed.
    Take the waste from that to your allotment Lee, will make good compost in no time.

    Hello, Lee
    I'm loving your videos!!! You seem like a nice man! I live in Kansas, USA. I have a nice man who cuts my grass, and trims bushes. I don't have any big trees. I have fourteen new ones, the tallest maybe seventeen feet. Could you please come to the USA about once a week to help my lawn? You don't use chemicals, because I have two Boxer dogs, that's important!!! And I could listen to you all day!!! It is tornado time so if that bothers you I'll wait. Like usual you did a perfect job! GO LEE 🤗🍀🌿🌳🌲🍂

    Hi Lee, I have been following you on utube over the lockdown, I,ve got a farmhouse in the Dordogne (which I cant get down to) and have learnt so much from your film clips that will come in handy when I eventually get to France, even bought a Honda Hrs536 mulching mower that you use(what a brilliant idea)………… keep to your original format that you had in the earlier u-tube clips and don't be put off by "know it alls" by having to explain yourself on more recent clips, Nothing and nobody is perfect...….

      @@LHLgardenservices I should be thanking you for doing what you do. I've taken a keen interest in your videos because they are crammed with good ideas and advice. You can't buy the kind of experience that you are teaching me with your videos. I'm a novice where gardening is concerned even though my job as a 12 year old was weeding, pruning, cutting lawns, and cutting hedges at my parents home some 47 years ago. I am now following your advice when doing anything in the garden, whether it's cutting lawns, using a half moon edger, or cutting hedges and using a mulching lawn mower to get rid of the waste. Thank you so much.

    Hi Lee, another great video, regarding the scarifier, what are the different attachments used for, there's the comb attachment and a blade/disc attachment?

    • @LHLgardenservices
      @LHLgardenservices  4 роки тому

      I only use the scarifying blades...I think the discs are fof slicing the ground either for air or over seeding ....someone might add to this if I'm wrong 👌

    I did some research about moss. I could be wrong. You can double-check the information. What I read is that moss indicates acidic soil and to make the soil more alkaline is to spread lime in the fall because of it being slow-release. After raising the pH fertilizing becomes more effective.

    Hi looking for abit of advice, when top dressing I see alot of people use sand and I've seen you use soil, is there a reason for this.?Also to get the stripes on the grass do you need to use a cylinder mower and if so what would you recommend?

    After your first pass do you blow / rake the moss or thatch before going over again with a diagonal. Or do you just go first pass, diagonal, diagonal again then blow / rake off? Thanks.

    • @wayneessar7489
      @wayneessar7489 4 роки тому

      It is like raking the turf, but with a machine.
      The advantage is if you hand rake, the work gets hard on your hand, shoulders and back because you need to get down to the soil.
      The machine can be set to only go 'so deep' and does an even job.
