used this on my lawn for the past couple of years... as I am a complete green lawn freak I think you can't fault this product if applied correctly and watered in if no rain falls. beautiful garden Richard! love the stone wall with mill wheels!
Their products are some of the best I've tried. The Evergreen grass treatments really work, just remember to use them every 8 weeks or so and mow regularly...
Just watched your video, I'm really impressed, its so green and healthy looking. I've just used evergreen lawn food, if its not a great success, ill use 4 in 1.
Fantastic video.. you made a great point in that it doesn't have to be difficult to have a beautiful lawn.. I really enjoyed this. I haven't heard of that product but I'll look into it..
I was skeptical of this when i first bought it thinking it wouldn't really do as advertised. It Does !!!!!I bought my house start of this year and was clear the lawn had been neglected for some time and was a mess of patchy area's with numerous weeds covering about 80% of the lawn. No joke Evergreen took away about 95 percent of the weeds. It is a bit scary when all the weeded area's go all black and dead. but about 4-5 weeks of recovery and the lawn has bounced right back and is now weed free, no patches & vibrante Green.
Yes scarifying is so important and mine is well overdue - it makes a hell of a difference when it is scarified and overseeded at the start and end of the year as you say. The scarifier broke down last year and I haven't got round to fixing or replacing it.
It's not looking quite so good now since we have had an extension built and the lawn got a bit torn up. However, I'm in the process of restoring it so in a month or so it should be back to looking good.
It would indeed and I have it somewhere on the computer but forgot to use it. That's what happens when the editing gets done on auto pilot just before midnight, lol
Thumbs up for you Richard . I try to keep my lawn green But it seems after I put the Lawn food/Weed Killer down . It doesn't rain for 3 weeks . So I have to spend money watering . Then instead of mowing every 6-7 days . I have to mow every 3-4 because I watered ....LOL
Example , this weekend it rained , so I got up around 8 am to mow (My Cities noise ordinance says no loud noises after 10:30 PM or before 8 AM . I was fueling up my mower and it started to rain & rained for 13 hours straight . Now I'll have to wait till at least tommorow evening (Or next day) when it will be dry enough not to clog my mower up ....LOL
It is a fine product which the bean eaters will no doubt say aids global warming or causes the zika virus but a good lawn really sets off the garden (especially when the rest of it isn't maintained very well like in my case, lol)
Hi IV the same fertiliser spreader as you and iv bought two bags of the Evergreen 4 in 1 as my lawn is pretty massive. But I'm wondering what number setting should I put the spreader at? Thanks!
It will vary depending on how much you want to apply but my number thing is a bit broken - just set it so it delivers a fine wide spread as you don't want too much on. After a week or so you should see any parts which have been missed so can go over those parts again.
I have the Westland aftercut all in one, will this be similar in product? Also, the box states that I have to apply it in spring, obviously I have missed the optimal season but would it make much difference if applied now (July)?
This is a wonderful product and does what is says However it is difficult to get an even coverage without getting areas of scorching I have developed a couple of methods which overcomes long recovery after damage and how to avoid it 1. Within 24 hours after application check the grass for black areas - simply thoroughly water this areas and then surrounding areas for about 10 minutes to dilute the chemicals This reduces the damage from 6 months to 4 weeks 2. Using the Miracle Grow watering/mixing spray almost fill the Container with the 4 in 1 and top it up with water - enough for it to dissolve into a liquid Leave over night and use when you are sure it has been fully dissolved Switch the unit to water only and give the grass area a good watering Then switch to the mix and spray long enough to ensure you cover all over This method reduces the risk of damage and although it takes longer it is gentler
The big problem with the detecting videos is that they often may take 10-20 hours of hunting to pull together a decent video and I'm lucky to get 1-2 hours a couple of times a week. However I am altering my work schedule to only get collections by couriers on Monday, Wednesday and Friday which will hopefully allow me to get away for some longer sessions -I'm even getting landowners phoning me up and asking when I'm next coming up, lol Next one will probably be with the ATX underwater.
Don't forget to poke a hole in the ground first. My dad was a mole catcher and when one of the lads at work offered to catch the mole in the lawn, well let 's just say he caught a mole every day for weeks. Sometimes two!!
I did that when I was very young with some older lads from my village on a local guys lawn and he was obsessed with the condition of it - that would drive him so mad I'm surprised we didn't find him hanging in the woods, lol
or...why not buy a "fancy dress" life size mole suit and stand at the end of their driveways with your langer hanging out of your fly whilst drinking a can of Carling Black Label....just staring helplessly into the distance mumbling something about Mr Toad
Did it rain in between those 7 days, or did you water it? I used the evergreen on my grass & watered it the next day, it says on the pack there will be blackening if the grass which has happend to me
I recently moved into a (rented) House The front and Back Garden looked awful . Basically weeds and moss etc ONLY. I cut out as many weeds by hand as possible and filled the Holes with new soil. Then i bought some Grass seeds with fertiliser and sprinkled it all over . Grass started growing where i filled the holes with new soil. But looked horrible. Last week i bought Evergreen and tried this. Within days everything on my lawn turned from Black into dust !! I wish i left it the way it was
@@frankw9836 I usually apply it 3-4 days after mowing and on a dry day then I leave it a good 2-3 days before watering it in. I've had times when it has gone black but that's normally either when the moss all dies (and I rake it out) or when I walk on the grass after using the treatment on slightly wet grass or when I put too much treatment on. Now I only use it late in the day on a dry day then I stay off it for a few days and hope for rain to water it in. I always use a spreader now too since it's easy to add too much. I used to use a rotating spreader but it flung the particles too far and stained the drive and patio.
Your garden looks amazing! We have had a bad drought here in South Africa, so allof our lawns look like a camels backside. But as soon as the water restrictions are over, I`m sure the lawns here will be resurrected. But yours will make all South Africans super jealous. ;-)
Hi i sprayed miracle grow on my new lawn ,1st time my grass was green ,2nd time i had some brown scorch brown patches?i water grass morning & night?can i use evergreen to bring the patches back 🙏🏴🙏my lawn is about 4 month old

@@user-cp1mk7yr5s We have cats and they have always been fine. As long as the treatment is applied at a sensible rate the granules will fall through the grass onto the soil beneath.
Yes you'd think so and although we have loads of rabbits around in the wood they never bother the garden. Occasionally they will have a dig around the large tree where the grass is dry and brown at the best of times so I don't mind seeing them in the garden.
I've a fishing video ready for upload, another one I'm half way through editing and one ready showing how to catch fish in a pipe in a remote stream so you'll get a fishing fix very soon.
I closed down the shop over 18 months ago so only have the large pond now which is mostly filled with rudd but may well be getting restocked with trout in a month or so.....
Awesome results. Put the evergreen down this afternoon, watched a few youtube results video and keeping my fingers crossed since 🤞😎

Yes the evergreen complete really does a good job and lasts a while too. The wall took an age to build but it was well worth it.
I was more impressed with the way you scaled you roof. Mint

That’s a great result. I put some down today, I hope it does as good a job 👍🏻
Really nice lawn 👌 greetings from Houston, Texas U.S.A.
Another informative video, thanks for that mate, a 5* video, regards from NZ, Tony.

It will likely be called something different in CA but I'm sure a similar one will be available - works really well.
What a transformation!!! Before and After Evergreen application is quite stunning 🙌 Great job Richard and Great Product
Yes it does a fine job even if the lawn is really drab and yellow provided it gets watered in plenty after a day or so.
Excellent video! Just picked up a 7.5kg bag from wilkos for £8 so hoping it has the same effect yours did!
brilliant video thanks will try some... btw can i ask what type of ferns are those growing out of yourwall would love some for my waterfall rockery
Just did my lawn 2 days ago, new build, almost an acre. Fingers crossed it turns out hakf as good as yours, mine v bad to start with though!
How did it go? Mines a new build, well two years old now and it's pretty bad with patches and weeds.
Lovely garden mate, wouldn’t mind a kickabout !
Beautiful garden mate, Ill bring around the football boots and a goal post look ready to play on
Yes indeed the lawn has so many lumps kicked out of it now from my son and his cousin that I need to do a reseeding job.

I'm glad your lawn was resurrected - it makes a real difference.
Great video. Do you scarify & aerate?
Loved the cats at the end!!!!
Good result there. Last time I did this using a spreader with the weed and feed I burnt the hell out of the grass and it took 6 months to recover lol.
I've been there many times when I think there's not enough going on so I open up the spreader a bit and go round the garden 3 or 4 times...
I've used this myself m8 to good effect, but on a much smaller lawn which i scarify either end of the grass growing season😉
Yes scarifying is so important and mine is well overdue - it makes a hell of a difference when it is scarified and overseeded at the start and end of the year as you say. The scarifier broke down last year and I haven't got round to fixing or replacing it.
Great vid, great job
That is a beautiful garden
It's not looking quite so good now since we have had an extension built and the lawn got a bit torn up. However, I'm in the process of restoring it so in a month or so it should be back to looking good.
Awesome garden man.
It is where I live and work so so to be in such an environment surrounded by the sounds of nature has a really calming effect.
Great video......just love the accent....lol How often do you treat the lawn?
When and what time of the year should you apply the feed
Like a bowling green. Well done
it really has done you green the world of good
Did you have rain in the 7 days, if not, does it need watering? Lovely garden by the way!
What's the spreader make lawn looks great
Great video thanks 😀👍
Nice video again mate the benny hill music would have been great on the fast forward bit
all the best Craig

Hi , how many days later grass seed will start to ratoon?
What setting did you use on your Scott’s spreader?
Do you know how to get rid of crab grass?
What is the big tree ? Did you have any rain in the 7 days or did you water it ?
I was waiting for the Benny Hill theme tune :-)
Applecart2000 definitely needs adding!
Definitely would have very fitting 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello mate ,Don't we need to water right away ?

This method reduces the risk of damage and although it takes longer it is gentler
How many days awithin 7 days do you have to water it? Or did you water it at all within that 7 days?
Did it get any water in that 7 days
Random! I loved it
Great video , should add the Benny hill theme to the speeded up part 😊👍

What setting was the spreader at
When I see people's lovely lawns I'm always tempted to pour small mounds of soil on them to trick them into thinking that they've got moles. hehe
Don't forget to poke a hole in the ground first. My dad was a mole catcher and when one of the lads at work offered to catch the mole in the lawn, well let 's just say he caught a mole every day for weeks. Sometimes two!!
