    Did you have to thin your paint with water and if so how much?

    • @i_try_diy
      @i_try_diy 9 дней назад

      Yes I did. This sprayer comes with a little funnel cup to measure viscosity, I just added water until it was the right consistency based on the manual. Not sure exactly how much I ended up adding.

    Great result. I did a similar process in my backyard. Unfortunately mine doesn't look as thick as yours. I feel the grass is very thin and lots of weed. I used the same thing for fertilizer pre emergent (scott's). Any recommendations on how to get the germinated grass a bit stronger? Thanks

    • @i_try_diy
      @i_try_diy 2 месяца назад

      How long ago did you seed? Was it this season or last? Mine definitely thickened up even more the following year. But I'd also recommend overseeding at about half the rate you initially seeded. That can work wonders for getting it thicker! Some selective herbicide like a 24D can also really help with weed control

    For raking the dead grass, did you just use a typical leaf rake or did you use something more specialized? Also, with the top soil and peat moss, did you get a special order from a local store or did you just buy bags of material at a box store?

    • @i_try_diy
      @i_try_diy 3 месяца назад

      I just used a regular rake for collecting the dead grass, it was pretty brutal but effective. You could also use a mower with a bag, as long as you don't care about your blade getting dull from all the dirt etc. For the soil, I just picked up a truck load from a local nursery and spread it out with a wheelbarrow and leveling tool. Depending on how much soil you need/want to add, you could just grab bags from the store and use those!
