    Works great! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxprGGPRQoChQaA8u58dt7miEpxQBKiWeJ More difficult with longer grass, though, but I was expecting that. I have a small back yard, it seemed like overkill to buy a lawnmower with an engine. This is easy to carry in and out of the basement through the bulkhead. Very sharp (be careful). At the back of the mower are little wheels, which I use when pulling the mower backwards, so it's easy to readjust direction. I'm including a photo which shows the before and after for my lawn when it was at its longest. For long grass like that you really have to put some muscle into it, and I needed to go into a new section of grass with some momentum, but when the grass is only an inch or two higher than regular cut height it's quite easy. The lawn is still patchy and full of weeds, but at least it's a good height! A step in the right direction.

    Pete,
    Months ago when I first viewed this video I had no idea that this would be a huge game changer for me. It started me down the road of my lawn obsession. I’ve learned so much through watching yourself, Allett Mowers, Ryan, Connor, Allyn, The Pest and Lawn Ginga, and Brian. My lawn went from being an embarrassment to being the envy of the neighbourhood. In the spring, while digging out thousands of dandelions, one neighbour walked by and rudely said “You got a lot of work ahead of you!” I couldn’t believe how rude he was. Through lots of hard work and learning as I went I’ve transformed a horrible weed garden into a healthy, blindingly bright striped lawn that is now something to be proud of. Lots of room for improvement but I’m always looking forward to the next step.

  • @Methodical2
    @Methodical2 4 роки тому +3

    Dethatching is the best way to prepare your lawn for seeds vs aerating as it opens the lawn and exposes the soil for better seed to soil contact. I've always had great success with dethatching. I see way too many lawn companies aerate and seed lawns with no success as the seeds just sits on thatch and dead grass. A buddy finally followed my advice about dethatching and seeding vs aerating and seeding and has been tickled pink with the outcome. He's now a believer.

    • @michaelperry4398
      @michaelperry4398 3 роки тому +1

      Finally someone gets it, everything you just said plus what good is seed falling into a two inch hole. Aerating and seeding is sucks, unless your going over bare dirt a bunch of times to loosen the crap out it. Dethatch, aerate, slice seed is my preferred method or aerate/ sliceseed.

      @Methodical2 3 роки тому

      @@michaelperry4398 I agree with the seeds dropping in a 2" aerated hole where it will never see the day of light. The lawn companies suggest aerating because it requires less work than dethatching, but gives poor results. I see it done every year at my neighbors house.

      Nutrients and water. It's not "too" hard to grow grass here in STL, just takes a lot of babying though the summer. The golf courses around here look great in our area and they have a mix of grasses. Major difference is between sand base surfaces and native soils, Cardinals vs your home. You must be near Koven, he's definitely one to watch growing bluegrass on native soil. 👍
