  • Thanks to a wonderful British Summer (more rain than sunshine!) The granular fert has kicked in. However, it seems as though we have missed some sections. D'oh.
    So, in this video, I look to correct it with Liquids again with a ‪@YardBrah‬ esque mollycoddle mix!

    Re; lines, I'm almost certain that your spreader is leaking, causing an excessive amount of granular fertilizer to be applied, and now the grass is stressed.

      Could be this, hope not, but the grass is looking a bit better now and the grass isn't dying off. Will see how it is in the next few weeks. I'll be washing the spreader out before the next application.

      @@TheReelMowingMowingClub Fingers crossed the grass is just stressed from the overdose. I had a similar experience in the past: I thought the grass would die as it turned brown, and I feared that was it... However, after a good rain and 2-3 weeks, the overdosed spots returned in full glory. 🤞

      The risk with Jacks it seems. I have used weedol and rate it but I have suggested Greenforce to people as an alternative and wanted to try it myself. I think it will be more beneficial against the more stubborn weeds that weedol struggles against

    The colour green from the drone footage mate is incredible and you could not tell the two seeds apart, both look exactly the same shade of dark green. I put granular fert down on mine about a week ago and noticed some yellow areas at my back lawn, and started scratching my head wondering if it was areas I didn't cover as well, so earlier I just used a liquid lawn feed in a watering can to just sprinkle on the yellow areas. So will see if they blend in soon.
    I also bought a box of Westland lawn feed, weed and moss killer granules to try from home bargains cheap, as I have one or two weeds popping up, and have found using resolva weed killer for lawns spray bottle that it yellows the grass surrounding the weed, so going to see if the Westland granules feed, weed and moss killer is better.
    Well done on winning the Toro edger.

      Massive surprise on the trimmer. Hoping for the 1st prize mower but hey ho!
      It looks super green with the drone. Suspect the camera is set slightly different to the phone camera and still learning on this side of thing but it's already super dark with the liquids from.last night.
      I need to clean the spreader as I think there might be old gunked up crap in there affecting some distribution or its more likely me and poor lining up!
      Greenforce arrived today. Will see what it does in the coming weeks!

Although many cordless items these days from the likes of Lidl, Toolstation etc are bare units only, but wouldn't imagine they will send you just the strimmer and nothing else. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days for your yellow areas to darken and match the rest. Keep up the great work👍

      Hi Keith
      Thanks for watching and the comments.
      2g per ltr of water is the recommended max doesage.
      I'd calibrate the sprayer first and see how much water you need then calculate from there.
      If it's 5lts, then your looking at 10gram of High N.

    Lawn is on point other than those yellow lines bro. I guess I'm confused why there would be lines both ways if you went in opposite directions with the drop spreader? I've never seen anything like that other than burn from fertilizer getting caught in the Scotts spreader wheels. I'm interested to see what happens with this...

    I am new to lawn care, about to get some liquids from Greencare just to give my lawns a boost in between the seasonal feed by a local company. Just came across your previous videos that you applied liquids the day after you applied the granular spring and summer, and there were Elixir high nitrogen, Angus lawn tonic which also contains 5% nitrogen, wouldn’t it be too much and risk burning the grass?

    • @TheReelMowingMowingClub
      @TheReelMowingMowingClub  Місяць тому

      Hello
      The granular will take a few days to break down and will feed the lawn for upto 8 weeks.
      The liquids will go on and give an almost instant kick to the lawn and last about 2 - 3 weeks.
      Not had any issues to date

      When I used the Ferrogranual I would always looked to limit how much goes on the flags. But the stuff I'm using now is chelated so no staining apparently and seems to be true. I won't spray a load on to test this but a little won't do much damage

      Not knowing much about lawns..& the care thereof ( time & finance being an issue ), I might have a reason for that 'straight-line discolouration'. I re-seeded in early spring, & used granular fertiliser a couple months later..we have a 'utility line' running across one side of the lawn, where a curve of bricks/stone had been laid- ( clear demarcation of a curve ), & this is were the 'yellowing grass' appeared..right along that curve. So..might be the reason, especially if it's that uniform 😊
