Pete Moss! thanks
Did you know if the peat moss only can be spread in spring or can be spreading all the time?
@@juanrodriguez-mq2bw typically on cool season lawns, you would top dress when seeding or leveling. Both are typically done in the spring or fall.
I bought a 24", and the clasp on one side doesn't work.
Hi. Was is easy to work with the 44" model? I'm hesitating between the 44" and the 24" one. I have arround 10k sq.ft yard. Thank you
Andrew at Lanzie just hooked me up with the 44" tow behind spreader. I was concerned about delivery time since I need to be spreading in 2 weeks and turns out it's 2-3 days delivered to Northern NJ. Called me back after hours the same day I left a voice mail. What a great company. Can't wait to hook it up to the tractor and start spreading.
It’s a good company!
Two suggestions: 1. I have found decomposed steer manure works better over seed than any other material (these are sometimes referred to as manure spreaders). 2. Put a few moderately large stones in with your compost to help break-up any clumps.
I’ll look into the manure. Great tip on the stones! Might have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing!
Do you mix in the sheep manure with the peat moss?
@@lampshade7463 Just the steer manure, no peat. But, it must be well decomposed steer manure. The kind they sell in bags at Home Depot works fine. It’s cheap but takes a fair amount. You may need to go over it twice with your spreader?
@@barryallen6293 The manure should be composted which if done properly should kill most of the weed seeds.
Will the decomposed steer manure hold moisture like peat moss?
Such a gamechanger. I have the 24” model and it was AWESOME to use during overseeding last year. For once I wasn’t absolutely covered in peat moss after a fall reno
I can’t wait to overseed in the fall! Actually going to look forward to it for once!!! 🤣
@@TheLawngineer I tried using the smaller version landzie with normal topsoil(1cu per bag great gardens premium from home depot). 1 bag would only cover like 14 feet and because the topsoil is moist and has alot of the junk(wood) it didn't spread evenly easily without rolling it back and forth and getting the junk out every 1 bag used. Thoughts? How many lb of peat moss did you use per 1000 sq ft with that?
@@wazup3333 try using dryer and better quality topsoil. I never had luck with the generic topsoil from Home Depot.
Last year I tried spreading Black Kow manure with the Landzie. Unfortunately, the bags were in an area that allowed them to become wet😱 I tried to spread it anyway and it was a disaster. Never again! The dry topsoil spread nicely Only use dry material!! This year, I bit the bullet and bought my favorite compost. 30 bags at 2cu. I did my entire lawn and still have maybe eight bags left. Love my Landzie!
Great video. The landzie makes things soo much easier.
Thanks! It really does make it a whole lot easier!
Wow, this is the first time I've seen one of these used. You've convinced me. I'm going to get me one of those. Great video.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your new spreader when you get it.
I’ll have to get me one of these this fall! That’s nice. I have about an acre and the tow behind feature is nice! Great video.
Thanks for watching!! Yeah, the tow behind feature is very useful! You won’t be disappointed.
That landzie would work great on my lawn.
Hooked up to my John Deere would be easy on my back!
I think I’m gonna order one!
Great video! I like how even the peat moss was spread out!
Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it.
Looks like a great tool and way easier than your process last year. Good stuff!
This is amazing!!! Way better than doing it by hand. That alone is worth it IMO. Thanks for watching!!
That's exactly what I need 👍👍 great video very informative 👍
Get one!!! Well worth it IMO.
Great video! I manually spread peat moss on a area I was renovating last fall. I don’t know how much got on the lawn but it sure felt like I was wearing most of it 🌱😆🌱
It is such a messy job! Also gets in your lungs too! Using this was way better!
I really like the look of it, the video was very well balanced. It really showed how good it works, especially when you slowed it down, but it looks like it would be a pain trying to get all the extra's out of it, plus the price is too steep for the average retired home-owner like myself. I did see a few people on here make their own, that may be a good way to go.
this is exactly what ive been looking for. it should help level your lawn too.
peat wont do anything for leveling
You need sand and compost to level bud. Peat holds new seeds to soil from rain
My front yard is roughly 12,000 square feet and my driveway is 190 feet long. I bought a 24 inch peat roller which works great for seeding spots. I haven't done a full lawn reno, but if I do, I am gonna wish I had the big one.
Thanks for sharing! 12,000 SF is a lot for the 24” spreader. Still better than spreading by hand though.
Found your channel just now! Great vid!! I used my 24" landzie peat moss spreader last week. I love it. makes the job so much easier :)
Thanks for watching!! It’s so much easier, right?!
@@TheLawngineer ohh yes:)!!
I did the same when I did my over seeding last Fall. Only 2k sq ft' lawn and 20 bags of Peat moss by myself. This would have been so handy and the best part it would have filtered out all the debris that are in these bales. Well done on the video bro.
I was surprised to see how much debris was left behind!!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I was looking at one of these at our local hardware/big box store. The seller told me they wouldn't work on compost (or in my case, fine tope soil). "it is only for spreading seed." As a result, I did what you did, spread it with a shovel, which also moved some of the seed as it hit. Not the grass is coming up and I see many bare patches. Also, like you, I used an awful lot of soil. I've regretted my decision to not give it a try.
I've looked for videos to get a better idea and found yours. I've already done 1500m2 (about 14000ft2) but I still have 3 areas to do (1000m2, 450m2 and parts of 600m2). This weekend I will go buy a similar product, since Landzie is not available in my area.
I really appreciate your video. It has helped me a lot. Thanks!
Whoever told you it’s only for spreading seed is a moron!
This was good man!
Cool! I want a 44inch Landzie Compost & Peat Moss Spreader. It is now on my wish list. I will have one by this time next year, if not before. I wish I had known about them last year.
Such a good tool. They now make a 60” spreader too!
Landzie! Take my money!!!
What a great tool. My guys laugh at me when I bought one but after them seeing me use this for lop dressing they were impressed. I highly recommend.
Thanks for watching! I can’t wait to put it to work this fall!! Might find some other uses for it before then.
I get laughed at, too. The people driving by are looking with giant question marks on their faces😄 My neighbor has hired a lawn care company and refuses the advice I try to give him... Landzie's peat moss roller has helped me turn my once terrible lawn into an oasis of green.
ahhh id love that for my 3/4acre lawn!!
This would be perfect. Can be towed as well!
GREAT VIDEO. VERY COOL. THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching!!
🌞Great video!! I'm looking at renovating 10k sq ft and seed this spring for a friend. This could come in handy to topdress. 👍
Thanks for checking it out! Its a huge time saver for sure!
Great video bud. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks David!! Did it come through in 4K for you? Seems like it might still be processing on my end.
i have the smaller one and it saves so much time and it looks even..
Definitely like the ease of use and efficiency of spreading peatmoss. Would be a great choice for those with bigger yards or a lawn business. Little to expensive for my lawn size though.
If you ever want to borrow it, let me know!
@@TheLawngineer Thank you. Appreciate that.
@@TheLawngineer did he borrow it yet
Great video Vince!! If they weren't so pricey I'd get one without a doubt.
I hear ya! Depending on your yard size, it might be tough... but if I can save $100 so each year in peat moss, like I anticipate on the project lawn with 10,000 SF, the rate of return is like 5-6 years. Also, I’ve heard of people renting it out too!
@@TheLawngineer My lawn is only 4,200 sqf Total and yeah, I just discovered that here in HD they rent it for $8 a day so I might just do that
Very helpful .. thx !
Thank you for watching!!
Just arrived also here, Vicenza Italy!!! let's go try it out ;-)
That’s awesome!! Let me know what you think!
I wish I had used one of these, I have so many pieces of those large, sponge like pieces still in my lawn
That is pretty sharp. I like that.
Thanks for watching!! This is a really cool tool.
@@TheLawngineer Hey you are welcome. For people that make their own compost, this saves a step. It takes care of the screening process for you haha.
Great, thorough explanation and demo. Those things definitely look like they're worth the money for that project.
Thank you! I’m definitely going to put this to work when I do the fall overseed! Not only is it a time saver, but you are able to efficiently spread the top dressing out evenly. Every bag of peat moss will go further for sure. Thanks for watching Travis!
@@TheLawngineer I believe places let you rent these now I will def be doing that I hate spreading peat moss by hand
@@roba168 yeah!! I have heard of this too! If you can find one hear you, it would be way cheaper!
I definitely need one of these! Doing some spring seeding coming up in a few weeks and I’ll be too dressing with peat moss.
This is a really handy tool for the job! Wish I had one last year!
@@TheLawngineer I have a little over 5k in my front lawn I’ll be too dressing after I seed in a few weeks. I was planning on getting about 7 or 8 bags of peat moss, you think that will be enough? I figured maybe one bag per 1k but maybe that’s too light for just a light seed covering? Idk. I’ve only done spot seeding with it before.
@@DIYDad1 I was able to calculate 1.7 of the large 3 cubic foot bags of peat moss per 1,000 SF for good coverage. So for your area, you would need between 8 and 9 bags.
@@TheLawngineer got it, I wasn’t too far off with my estimate then 😁 thanks!
Great review and presentation.
Thanks Ron!!
@@TheLawngineer no worries
I won one, still in the box, I will have to check it out this season!
Nice! You won’t be disappointed.
@@TheLawngineer after watching this I will have to agree with you.
Oh dude I'm getting one of these
You won’t be disappointed!
Another great Video
Thank you Mark!
Great content! 👍🏽👍🏽
@@onthelawntraining5205 thank you!!
This thing is so cool Vince. I wonder how well it would do with a regular screened topsoil? 🤔
It should work. Probably better if it were somewhat dry to reduce clumping.
Just bought it
I didn't know they made a model that could be pulled behind a mower. I really like that alot actually, I'm gonna have to look into them
It’s really good! Very well made. I can’t wait to pull it when I do my Fall Overseed.
way too pricy for what it is.
@@Deke1 totally understandable. Thanks for watching!
First for my boy Vince! 😎
Right on!!! Thank you!
Subbed brother!
Thank you!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank You!!! This tool is amazing!!
super
Great video thank you !
Did you just do one pass or spread on the lawn or 2?
Would you then go over the lawn with a roller to further the seed to soil contact?
This is just one pass. There was a little overlap, but not much. No need to roll in, but wouldn’t hurt either. I’d say if you have the time and equipment to do it, do it.
@@TheLawngineer thanks for the advice, looks like a great bit of kit I’m going to get one, thanks from the UK!
I need one in my life
It’s a great tool. Definitely beats spreading by hand.
The larger spreader is much better than the smaller model for a larger lawn
100%
Could you use the Landzie to topdress with topsoil instead of peat moss?
Also, if I wanted to level my lawn with Mason sand, I assume this wouldn't be a good tool for that as it seems sand could pass too quickly and easily through those openings in the Landzie.
You can use top soil, but make sure it’s dry. If it’s too wet and clumpy, it’s not going to work well. Also, you can use for sand too, but you’ll have to work fairly quickly since it will come out of the holes much faster.
I wanted to rent one of these, my local Ace only had the unit that you filled with water, I was shocked when they did not know what this unit is.
Some places have them for rent super cheap. Like less than $10 for the day. Very cost effective if you can find one in your area!
Would this roller work with a masonry sand top soil mixture. Called lawn conditioner at my nearest nursery. 70 percent sand 30 percent processed pine and leaf compost, Very curious. Thanks
I haven’t done it personally, but I would imagine it would pass through the openings at a much faster rate. I would also imagine that you would have to keep moving to prevent the sand from just flowing out of the holes if it’s just sitting around.
I have an acre and last year rented an EcoLawn 250 to top dress 1/3rd of it. I had 30 peat, 5.5 cubic foot moss bags. If I tried spreading that by hand, I would have died! The EcoLawn made a job that would have taken me a 4 days by myself into 4 hours. It actually took me more time to load the huge bag (2 1/2 minutes) than it did to spread it (2 minutes). I *really* want to buy the EcoLawn 50 (cheaper, pull behind version), but it's still $3k.
While this device looks nice, you'll be spending a huge amount of time loading. I could only fit half of one of my bags in and if I had to guess, I'd probably land up spending the equivalent of ten minutes loading. Also, you're bending down to do it, which will be hard on the back. I'd love to rent it out to see how right or wrong I am. $500 is a lot cheaper than $3K, but if you've ever used the EcoLawn like I did, you wouldn't want to use anything else.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm one of those that purchased the Landzie product because I didn't own a riding mower that could use any tow behind product to spread compost. Anything else was inefficient at the time I was looking. The Landzie product saved me from dumping and raking (hours and hours of work). Still, it takes me longer to fill the basket than anything else.
Sorry if I missed it, but what do we do with all the peat moss clumps/sticks left over ? I have a wheelbarrow full of them
I just threw it away. Not sure if it’s really good for anything else. Maybe mulch, or possibly compost? But to me, I didn’t see any value in saving it.
Question: I installed a new front lawn earlier September. Seed w/ fertilizer went down 9/7/21. I've had ok results , but thin spots are and some bare spots still abundant. Can I hit the lawn again with more seed ontop / over baby grass growing? Than top dress with peat moss?
My front area is roughly 1,000 square feet. I used a bag of seed that was 7lbs....said too cover 2300 square ft. I know I won't have perfect results immediately.
It's gonna take patience and couple overseeds....plse leave me some comments..tks.
Yes you can, I’ve done that in the past with good results. Usually happens when you get a wash-out from a rain storm. Feel free to go back over those thin/bare areas with seed and a light dusting of peat moss.
@@TheLawngineer ....thanks for your time and information.
I'm gonna drop more seed this Saturday. Hopefully with watering it'll have time to germinate in northeast Ohio.
Can you add the seed with the moss into a wheel barrow, mix it up, and then spread it all at once with the landzie?
I have seen people successfully do this
real nice! i still dont understand how
doin this after overseeding doesnt disrupt the seeds when goin over the lawn or did you do this first then seed? thanks!
I do it the same day I seed. Put the seed down first, then immediately follow up with the top dressing.
@@TheLawngineer correct but how does the spreader not move the seed around while the dressing is put down and walking on the seed as well?
@@12bitizthewaytogo92 never had an issue with it. It’s OK if the seed moves around a bit. Does not remove the seed. Also, not a bad idea to lightly press the seed into the soil.
@@TheLawngineer ok thanks!!! much respect
Do you go over the lawn only once? Or should I put added layers?
Once is good enough.
Good luck finding one in stock.
Mid-May they will be stocked!
I too dressed 3 lawn this week. The peat Moss we used wasn’t this fine. We had to break it up. Is this common or is all peat Moss clumpy ?
I try to get bags that are at the bottom of the stack at the store when they are stored outside. They seem to be drier. The bags used in this video were stored indoors at the store, so they were never exposed to the elements.
Even though the packaging is relatively water tight, there seems to always be a hole that allows moisture into the bag. Seems like the moisture is what causes the clumps. I’ve had to break up peat before too. If you only fill the Landzie halfway, it should tumble around and break most of it up.
I want one of those spreaders! I just seeded and spread peat moss by hand with a shovel. Lots of work and not as effective as the Landzie
Yeah, especially if you have a lot of area, doing it by hand is very labor intensive and messy.
Would you ever recommend using the Landzie to level your lawn? Maybe using screened topsoil?
It’s great for getting the material down on the ground fairly evenly... It’s a bit tough with wet material... the drier the better. I would think that straight sand would just pass through this like a sieve. You’d still need a level rake to push material around into the low spots.
@@TheLawngineer good point. now that you mention it i remember someone saying to allow soil to dry out. i may try using something like 2 parts soil 1 part sand. Okay, thank you God bless!
@@mike_AD thanks for tuning in!! I appreciate the comments! Any more questions, just let me know!
@@TheLawngineer excelent thank you bro, i will sub and check back with you!
Do you use peat a lot in America? We don’t over here in the uk as it’s really bad for the environment
Seems like a common thing. I hear you on the environmental side... especially how it is harvested and how it has impacted the bogs. It’s also relatively acidic and can impact pH. I’ll likely be using compost, sand or soil in the future. All of which are also compatible with Landzie.
can it be used to spread bags of top soil
Not recommended unless the soil is extremely dry and free of clumps. If you do it, add a few large rocks to the bin to help break things up.
At what step would we seed? Before or after putting peat moss down?
Before
Should I aerate first then overseed then come with the pea moss lastly?
Yes! That’s how I have done it in the past. Very successful. I aerate first, then add my soil amendments (if necessary). Then allow the cores to breakdown (2 weeks or so)... or just pick up the cores if you prefer. Then overseed, fertilize, then top dress (1/8” to 1/4” max thickness).
Adding peat moss that’s been previously mixed with grass seed directly into the spreader looks like the way to go to me…
@@alzal6483 I’ve seen people do this with great success too!
can that be used to spread topsoil or plain dirt
If it’s very dry and relatively free of clumps, yes.
Use it to spread composted mulch or what Gardners call black gold.
Doing this will help retain water in the soil and feed the roots of your grass as it decomposes, befor doing either id plug aireate with a commercial machine going 2 passes north south east west.
You can put away your chemical fertilizers and just spray a herbicide with the hose.
Thanks for watching! This is a great way to use the Landzie!
Will this work with a sand based topdressing?
I haven’t tried it, but imagine sand would flow more freely through the openings.
Did you empty the material throughout the project, or did you just do it all in and empty it once at the end? With the door in the middle section only, seems like it could be more difficult to empty compare to the 24 with the door going completely across
I can get about 3-4 bags of peat spread before needing to empty. I just lift it up onto a wheelbarrow, then empty it out. Gives me enough room to get my arm in the unit to pull everything out.
@@TheLawngineer Great Idea, Thanks!! I have the 36 and plan on using it for the 1st time in the coming days but was trying to figure out the most efficient way to empty it.
Great tool if you can get the door to latch and stay latched
Thanks for watching! They are spring loaded latches that keep it closed.
@@TheLawngineer I've had one for months and yes, they are spring loaded but mine does not line up whatsoever. I can get it to latch but as soon as I start rolling it pops off. I've resorted to tying the door shut and just cut the strings when I need a refill because it's that great of a tool.
A small low profile rare earth magnet could help keeping the door closed,might have to experiment on different shape and sizes. Another option, small zip ties.
Rolling on the floor... laughing. Just priced the 44" Landzie Compost & Peat Moss spreader on Amazon Price: $799.99. Seriously... I'll make my own.
Damn! That’s expensive. Is it the same price direct from Landzie?
Yeah, the price for the 44" is high, but I don't remember it being THAT high on the Landzie website 2-3 years ago. Still, it was at least $500... but that pails in comparison to the prices of the same types of effective tools that can be used by hand. These days there are cheaper knock-offs...
when over seeding in fall, should you aerate also??
That would be ideal and definitely improve your chances. If you have the means to do it, then yes!
@@TheLawngineer does peat moss level lawn over time??
@@michaeltobin905 no. It’s not meant to level. Too much organic content that will break down over time. If you are looking to level, sand is your best option. You can also use screened fill dirt (not topsoil) but it’s a bit harder to work with.
@@TheLawngineer thanks a bunch!!
Is there a promo coupon code on these? These things are expensive.
I just checked with Landzie. Unfortunately not at the moment. Primarily because things are in short supply and backordered for the moment.
Will it handle loam?
If it’s very dry, should be OK
I would buy one but it’s pretty pricey.
Where do you purchase your peat moss from?
Home Depot
what ph of this peat? Thanks for your video from Ukraine
I actually don’t know. I’ve heard that it can be slightly acidic, but would take a lot to really have an impact on the overall pH of your soils.
What’s better 24 or 48” ?
Depends on the size of your lawn. I would say if you have a lawn big enough to warrant the need for a ride-on mower, then go with the 48. Otherwise 24 is enough.
Question is: Is the peat moss spread even enough so that the new grass will grow evenly and not spotty at all?
Yes! It does a really good job of putting down a uniform, thin coating.
Have you tried it on a newly seeded lawn? With great result?
@@LoretoEsTorres check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/Ih-f9GzDouE/v-deo.html
Never heard of using peat moss for top dressing. We use peat moss for covering the seed of the seed is just on dirt/ not an overseed in established grass. We use organic compost after aeration.
We mostly use it for covering seed when overseeding
How do you make this work with a riding lawn mower towing it?
This is actually on my list of videos to showcase soon.
@@TheLawngineer I have a problem with the soil here in Indiana. I have clay soil with no top soil. Only thing I can get to grow is fescue. I think if I aerate and then top dress each year with the landzie machine. I could theoretically change the soil over time to allow for Kentucky blue grass to grow. I really don't want to have to kill everything and start over once I have a good layer of soil. Rn I have a riding with an agri fab aerator attachment. Looking forward to this video.
@@stumbino8361 sorry, a lot has changed on my end (moved to NJ) and putting out content has been slow going for me. We are now at the end of the season here in NJ so I won’t be able to do a riding mower / tow behind version this year. I would like to point you in the direction of an Instagram account (@turfmate) who made a reel towing the Landzie. Here’s the link: instagram.com/reel/CRlL6nTDl1G/?

Seed before or after peat
Before
The latches should have been on the side correct? Latches are always hitting the ground when rolling??
Latches hit the ground when rolling.
@@TheLawngineer so don't you believe that the latches should have been made on the side so they do not get beat up when rolling?
@@brodygoalie I haven’t had an issue with it. One thing I don’t do is roll it in concrete.
Apparently, the newest models changed the placement of the latches to the sides of the tool. I'm jealous, though mine have never given me any problems.
So the 7 cubic is really 4.5?
Disregard
I should have watched a few more seconds
You’re good in reviewing
I don't see an Amazon link.

Hey Vince miss the videos havent seen one in awhile?
I’ve got a few up. I upload every Sunday at 5PM EST. Got one coming on Hydretain this Sunday!
Ok I'm sorry my phone hasnt been telling me! My bad man!!
Im looking for a place that rents these in the Chicago suburbs.
Cant find anyplace that does.
Yeah, they aren’t widely available for rent.
I’m guessing you already tried Home Depot? They rent one out at my 3rd closest local store, but I’m not in your area. It’s $13 a day here.
Ps - for clarification that’s for the 24” handled peat moss spreader
@@paddleduck5328 thanks for chiming in to help out! Really appreciate it!
Yessir. Home Depot website shows a peat spreader and gives the rate of $12 per day. But no HD store within 100 miles of me has one to rent.
Landzie makes a good product but it’s $400! The cheapest price I found on EBay was $365. Not that great a deal.
why do you use peat moss instead of top soil or compost?
It’s easier to spread, is virtually weed free and free of pathogens, it’s excellent at holding water, it’s also a good visual indicator of when the lawn needs water.
@@TheLawngineer so peat moss is good for lawns and can make a good soil? Also, would mixing 50% peat moss and 50% compost/soil work for this spreader? Thanks!
@@esantone0398 it’s great for mimicking seed-to-soil contact. Mixing is fine. It’s easier to do when both materials are dry to avoid clumping.
What you need is a top dressing machine
Next level!
Is mr Walsh a good neighbor
He’s a good dude
Is your lawn soggy after a good rain with all that peat?
No
Temu sells a spreader for 70 bucks
I’ll have to check it out
good one... re. video: too long, a crisp 2 min version would be equally good to demonstrate the product.
Then you’ll love this one!! ua-cam.com/video/y5Kz5YFcTHc/v-deo.html
Works extremely well with peat moss. Not a good product for true topsoil at all. It will not break up countless little balls of topsoil. I have not tried with compost yet.
Thanks for watching!!
@@TheLawngineer keep up the great work!
The problem is that it’s over 200$ and it’s another thing that I need to make room for somewhere.
There are a number of them on amazon for around 110 - 130 bucks, right now
@@rye1181 Thanks.
So easy, only 700$ to roll some peat moss on your lawn. Too insane.
It’s a bit expensive. They sell a smaller one that’s cheaper. I’ve also seen some make their own.
I feel like an old white man, talking about my lawn.
And now here I am watching lawn videos. What happened to my life...
LOL!! Thanks for watching!
I like the Landzie, but for $400 bucks, I believe I will pass.
They are a bit pricey. Thanks for watching!
@@TheLawngineer They do a great job. Just wish I could find a cheaper alternative.
@@michaelfisher7835 I’ve heard some people having success renting them from a local rental shop. That might be a good option if available in your area.
@@TheLawngineer I will check into that. Thanks.
