- This video shows a time lapse over 1 week of the results of top dressing my lawn with composted manure. The contact for the composted manure is John - 559-469-7017 in Stratford, CA.
That manure is the shit
I had a customer who every so often would clean out their pond and spread the pond muck on their lawn, I thought they were busy but Christ did that grass grow fast after. Great job and thanks for the video.
Great Video and informative in an old fashioned simple way.... Without any obnoxious music or drumbeats, etc! Love it, thanks!!
Thank you
I live in Bakersfield too and I did it it and it made the lawn start growing like crazy
I’ve used this guys compost the past few seasons after overseeding and have had great results. 10/10 customer service as well!
Manure was used for thousands of years it always gives the best results.
People used it thousands of years ago on their lawns?
@@TripleWhopperWithCheese Yeah, don't you remember the oases around the teepees? LOL
Looks awesome. If you want it to be even greener add a little iron. It'll make it a darker green and sort of acts like a sunscreen in stressed times. Try it you'll like it.
This has to be the #1 lawn improvement before/after video I have seen on UA-cam. Awesome job man!
I had my yard composted today (San Antonio, TX). I'm hoping for the same results. Simular story, clay soil, compacted, contractor tore the soil up building the homes in this area 15 years ago and the ground is still struggling. However, I enjoy a challenge. 😉
Thanks, and best of luck!
How did it come out? I'm over here in Conroe just north of Houston so weve got the same enviroment..
Thomas Wilson I live in new braunfels. Where did you get your compost from and did you do it yourself? Thanks in advance!
Your ground is struggling likely because the builder took the valuable top soil and sold it off leaving you with garbage. Happens a lot here where I live.
Heather Sowell - Hi Heather. The service I used did a good job, but I may do it myself next time. It will be cheaper and great exercise. The service I used: Eco Lawn San Antonio (Brad Walser is the owner - great guy btw). Call him @ (210) 316-9444. The bottom line is I wanted to stimulate my soil with micro organisms and he delivered.
He used a compost that's high in "nutrients" (manure based.. lol) and my grass responded VERY well. I have a variety of grasses; Bermuda and St Augustine. The Burmuda was the greenest I have ever seen it... the St Augustine... not so much. I expect that the extra Phosphorus has a better impact on the Bermuda. I could go on-and-on because it is my pet project.
If you have any additional questions let me know and good luck! 😃
Compost is like black gold to a lawn. It’s amazing
I’m in Tulare county, totally true with soil. I’m working on my yard we just moved into a new construction home.
Thanks for the help
Wow! The results of a beautiful lawn w/ no detaching, no aerating nor reseeding!...it almost hard to believe! Well... One thing we do have in Puerto Rico, is MANURE. I'm on it KG, Thanks!
Ferdinand Vazquez agree. We do have enough manure to spare. Cheers
None of those things are necessary for a nice lawn (well, except for seeding if you have bare spots). This worked because manure is simply nitrogen. All he did was fertilize his lawn.
ryeguy01 very true!
Ferdinand Vazquez im curious to know if you were affected much by the hurricanes last year and if youve recovered much.
Ferdinand Vazquez don't use fresh, it will burn your yard. Compost it first.
Thank you for the great tip! Put some manure over some dead areas in my lawn and man what a difference. Cheaper yet most effective way to bring back the life of Bermuda. Manure, Scotts and Milorganite!
I use Milorganite also, just started last year. Trying to maintain a nice lawn without chemicals. Curious as to which Scotts product you use?
I had to laugh when you mentioned not telling your wife about spreading manure on your lawn. My Dad was to buy steer manure to fertilize the lawn but instead bought and spread chicken manure. Oooops!! Neighbours 10 zip codes away could smell it. It took a long time for him to live that down...this happened decades ago and still makes me chuckle. I own a horse and know the benefits of livestock manure. Black gold!!
lol
Great story. I made that mistake once. It took weeks for the smell to go away.
Holy amazing results! Assuming Bakersfield is still as hot and dry as it was when we left in the 90's, I feel hopeful this would work in Texas too. Thanks!
caliv0608 did u try it?
???
I just moved into a house and gave this a test run on a small patch of my backyard. It worked really well! The yard was badly neglected so there are patches that need to be re-seeded, but the composted manure is a winner.
Wow! That's so awesome. fingers crossed, I hope my yard turns out as nice as your with the manure I used.
How's your yard look 4 years later? Are you still using cow manure?
Great video Kelsey, thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! That looks great.
this is awesome. I'm going to do the same to my lawn here in the Northeast this week.
Looks great, I will try this in the U.K. synthetic grass has its uses but does nothing for the native birds and wildlife. My wife just watches me work too, whilst giving me “helpful “ advice. Thanks for the video
I get the same reactions from my wife.
Total disbelief!
Then... amazement at the results.
You'd think she'd stop doubting.
Just keeping us humble!
Thank you for the time-lapse! this is one of the most satisfying video on UA-cam.
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed
Organic cow manure is a great supply of nitrogen. I've been using it on my lawn and the results are very good: a darker green lawn, healthier grass plants and good growth - requiring more frequent mowing. That's how I like it. The manure smell isn't noticeable after a couple of days.
Wow, that is amazing, can't beat manure. Looks great!
Good work and good job on a time-lapse my dad's lawn when I lived in Bakersfield to do exactly the same thing responded really well to manure but don't be afraid to Super over fertilize it because you can't kill that stuff and then it will have lots of fertilizer so I sometimes double or even triple the normal fertilizer. This is the proper way to dominate your Neighbors lawn especially artificial turf!
It came out really well, great job Kelsey
Thanks Sonny
Nice work looks great
Awesome man, great job!!!
Great video and great job. I hope Mrs. is happy.
I hope so too, lol.
Dominated!
Good job!
We did this to a country home with horse manure from the neighboring horse barn onto plain dirt with grass seed. Can I tell you... It stunk heavy for about a week, but a month went by and it was the freshest greenest grass I've seen for a while...
If the manure was composted, it wouldn't have any smell at all. Other than earthy dark dirt smell.
Damn i need you to come do my house since were in the same city help a local out haha!
Good stuff tho lawn looks beautiful!
Really did a great job...Talked to my sis about this just tonight...
What were her thoughts?
Pretty cool Sir! I added compost early this week also but wish I had that wheel to spread it. I ended up putting in few sticks in my lawn...my St Augustinegrass was actually pretty green already but wanted to add the compost more to improve my sandy loam soil. Thx for your vid it pushed me to do the job.
That's the exact reason why I bought that spreader. Years ago I spread manure and ended up with sticks/rocks/clumps/etc. That spreader did the trick on keeping it clean.
Good job
Beautiful, I love using blackow in my yard. I mix it in every year when I seed my yard.
Blackkow is great but too expensive to spread it on my 10k lawn.
yes sir use black kow every year in the spring with some seed it works miracles but thankfully I don't have as big of a front yard as this video.
Hi Kenny! I’ll try this....
If you also wanted to Level your lawn, would cow manure work or would you suggest to mix it with topsoil or sand? I also plan to overseed .
What type seed do you use?
Nice work its looking great. All the Calvin.
Can’t believe you missed the chance to say “without further a doo doo...”
Bahahaha!
Lol
Ya u doooo it good 😂
Have the same problem here in florida. Very sandy poor soil. Awesome video I think you have convinced me I need to spread my whole 2 acre yard. 😂
That’s awesome bro! Thanks for the tip. Looks amazing
Justin Blanc anytime
Great video. Thanks for posting
Great job! Thanks for sharing! This is very helpful.
Looks dam good. I'll have to try it sometime
Amazing transformation!
Buddy that’s insane well done
I have been considering doing this to amend my soil. Areas are dry and dusty, lacking organic material. I have been considering manure hoping it might open up the soil a bit. Our climate in West Texas is nearly identical to Bakersfield. We get a bit more rain, but you guys can water more often. Because of the similarities, your video has been super helpful and it has convinced me to go ahead. Unfortunately I happened to mention it to my wife already...
Haha, I'm familiar with Midland/Odessa/Pecos (Oilfield).
omg I am defiantly buying that roller. thanks you!!!
Awesome job, the wife’s just don’t understand our madness!! Beautiful Lawn!
Thanks - it's not madness, it's a lifestyle.
Ya lol
wives vs wife's
Looks great bro
Thanks
I'll have to give this a try next year.
Outstanding! 👍
Very cool video! Thanks for the post. I’m trying to fill in some brown patches of my lawn (St.Aug.) that I burned out because of over use of herbicide in spot patches. My lawn is very shallow due to our lava rock base. I hope I can use the manure to level and top dress too. Appreciated your time lapse very much!
Thanks! Best of luck with your lawn!
Did it work????
Im in the same boat
@@rushmuzik it’s creeping back with some seed germinating. Going well, but have to be vigilant about the seed watering. All the attention means my lawn is getting better and better.. 😃
That’s a very good demonstration and explanation. I’m sold. Thanks for the help. I’ll bet your wife forgave you.
Mine looks the deep rich green all the time but I'm in the UK so it rains a lot and doesn't require any special treatment luckily :)
Sounds like you have some great soil! Wish I had that. Cheers!
Sham wow! Looks awesome
Wow! Amazing.
Wow...thats impressive.
Lawn looks real good. Nice job. I did notice that in the final picture there seems to be a little manure on the areas where it was dry to begin with. Might want to cheap your sprinkler head for clogged or calcium build up might not be getting enough water in that particular area. That is what happened to me. Great video. From Bakersfield, CA.
yellow driver 602 yep, it was a sprinkler coverage issue. This was a couple years ago, it has since been adjusted of course.
Great video
Just put down 2 tons of compost this morning in my back yard. This red clay is a biotch to get right for a lush soft lawn.
Wow looks great 👍
excellent job...did the same to a section of 1000 sq ft of my 5000 sq ft lawn to see what happens.(cow manure and compost).spread milorganite over the top(about 15 lbs of it) and raked it in with a garden rake.
i should have taken pictures of before and after..this was st augustine floratam in south florida,..the difference in color was amazing..took about 3 weeks to show up but once it started it did not stop...did the rest of it..happy wife happy life.
Great results, I think I'll make the spreading roller, looks easy enough and appears to do an awesome job. G'day from Aus. I'm Brent, using wife's account. Won't be pleased either .🤣🤣🤣
Learned a life lesson...😊
Wow
Looks great!!
We have a heavy clay based soil in Texas. Did you aerate or just mow prior to laying the manure? I am thinking about aerating then manure next spring.
He sure works fast
Nice to see a lawn tutorial from a California resident. I just fertilized and seeded my lawn with steer manure three days ago as it's cooling down here in So Cal. Not sure how often to water, but I knew I had to keep it moist initially so I may have broken the law, as I've watered for three days. I'll give it a break for the next couple days.
Looks great! I'd love to see what it looked like after another week or so.
Stayed green all summer
Which spreader is that? Can it spread compost like Leafgro? I just replanted my lawn (till in some compost to about 4-6"). That spreader is something I needed years ago. It would've save me tons of time spreading compost. I knew there had to be an easy way - haha!
Great job.
Thanks
I'm not familiar with leafgro, but it works great for regular compost.
Great video. Thank you!
Looks awesome 👍
Amazing good job on the tiny piece of dirt that you own
Thanks sir.
So you top dressed your lawn. Very nice. I've got to top dress my lawn. It's all clay. I can aerate until the cows come home and it won't do much for it. I don't fertilize with chemicals or spray for weeds. I love the distribution wheel. I'll have to look around for that one. Never saw one around here in Pa. Thanks for not using chemicals. They're killing my honeybees and other beneficial insects.
since you have clay soil look for the Next products from lawn care nut. They have a product called air 8 which will soften your clay. Not sure I spelled air 8 right but you will know it when you see the products. It will help.
peat moss spreader vs distribution wheel
Thanks for the informative video. 👍
Great job!
Yes, Here in East call it Mushroom Dirt or Old Compose or Dark Lume - all this years ago was just Called Good Top Soil . .
Milky Spore to the Lawn will Naturally Keep Grubs from Killing Root system , Very Good Protection - End Up Watering Less as the Plants aren't Stressed . " Grubs Love Water "
Holy Crap!! your lawn looks great!! I got some manure at Home Depot $2 a bag.
NICE! Thanks for the video...
Kelsey great job! I now want to fix my lawn. It looks like yours prior to adding the manure. How often should this be done to the lawn, monthly, quarterly, yearly? Can a Mesh drum roller be rented to spread the manure? Thank you for your help. Hope you see my comment.
I apply it once a year. Too much manure can burn the lawn. You might be able to rent a roller at a garden center, but if you can’t find one you can always spread it with a rake and shovel. Best of luck!
Great results. Did you have any problems with runoff due to the sloped yard?
I found out the compost I just bought contains sewage sludge. I can't help but think this is not good to use?
Nice job 👍🙂
Perfect, i just did this to my lawn. I mixed it with top soil. I have my fongers cross. I wish I had that mesh tool instead of using the back of the rake.
fongers LOL
Do you have an idea about how much area a full lanzie covers? I want to out compost mixed with seed and it’s good to know how much to mix
Thanks, I needed this...
Amazing for only a wk & watering only 3 days a wk...It's amazing regardless, just saying tho...
Thanks
Kelsey Gallegos I'm going to try this on a small problem area in the front yard...
Looks great!
Dang! I'm totally going to do this this week
Real grass allways looks better than fake :) good job on the video!
always vs allways
So did you have to scalp your grass before the application ?
So after you spread the compost did you drag it with anything to level it?
The spreader leveled it pretty good, so there was no need to drag it. If I would have spread it via shovel I probably would have dragged it, or at least raked it at a minimum.
what type of manure is it? i just bought some chicken manure pellets to try on my lawn to see what happens. i am in southern ontario canada where it is just as hot in the summer as california. thanks
Great. Manure and fresh cut grass don't seem like a good mix as u'd think that might allow bacteria to get into the grass plant at the tips. Didn't seem like an issue though. Such a huge difference before and after.
Love the flip flops!
Great vid. Any reason you didn’t overseed those patch areas at the same time or the whole garden in general?
Where do i get that roller to spread te compost
I'm looking to do the same - how much manure did you use per sqft?
Most excellent
How much compost and how much square footage of lawn?
Amazing!
Did you find that you had to eat more food to produce all that manure to cover your whole lawn, or was the regular diet enough? Thanks.
You're joking of course, lol.
Trick is to eat the grass you're trying to grow more of
Eat more fiber. Bulky!
A speader is not needed if you eat plenty of ex-lax.
PA TV stupidest comment ever
Are you always commenting with smart-ass remarks or is that just a part of your regular diet?;)
