- So behind all my regular weekly videos I've been busy trying to grow grass in my backyard. I filmed some bits over the past 60 days and stuck those bits together - this is for those of you that like grass.
For those not interested in soil and grass seed then I'll see you again soon with a regular upload. 👍🏼
She'll Be Right.
Cheers to @LawnTips for the advice. Go check 'em out.

How did I managed to watch through whole video without getting bored?
Oh.. Its how to dad
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍻😉Better to watch than work!😀Especially "how to dad..."🤣working🤣
Same! Never thought I would actually watch twelve mins of grass growing. I don't even have anything close to a lawn. But hell, it was fun.
I feel you kkk
this video is satisfy me actually
just like being with my grandpa lol
People yelling "GET OFF MY LAWN " makes more sense to me now...great work👍🏻
Woah!!!
Yeah, now I understand why. 😀
Exactly! Makes all the sense now
Lol...
Totally!! All the work and effort
Nice graas should be respected
Professional landscaper here. California here... about N.Z. I don't know much. This is the BEST,most realistic video I've seen on putting in a lawn yourself! HILARIOUS.😅😅😅👍👍👍❤
Haha cheers
@@HowtoDad churs
So true. My friend bought some of the grass you see in adverts that's supposed to be quick grow, grow anywhere, perfect lawn type. The picture said to sprinkle it with gaps between each seed, don't need much. Ha! Lawn was just like this only worse to start. They ended up buying regular grass seed and tossing it in thick. Only way!

Curious what would you recommend putting down in central California where the summer is in the 100s.
And Great video how to dad !
Do I have garden? No
Am I interested in grass growing? No
Did I watch the whole video? Yes I did.
lol same, for our future gardening plan....
GROW SOME GRASSSS
🙂
Plant trees, screw grass, the lawn mowers pollute to much
U that bored lol ??
Thanks man, now I can grow grass inside my apartment
Oh gosh😂😂
😂😂
I wanted to like this comment but the like count is 420, and it would be a crime to mess with that 😂
honestly kinda interesting not gonna lie, didnt know how to grow grass before 😂
😂true
Sameee
Not like this.
Growing grass is waste tbh. Grow some veggies and fruit plants instead.
@@petrichor259 why not both
Last time grew grass, I ended up with 200 hours community service.
You got community service BECAUSE you grew grass? lol
Lmao!!!!!
😂😂😂 you got the wrong type of grass seed
@@danielleking262 grass is a slang for weed. People also call it wheat sometimes
@@dusmantaborgohain7600 ah... yeah I knew that when I hear the phrase "smoking grass" but didn't occur to me that's what the original comment was implying..... my bad, lol
I actually enjoyed this whole grass growing thing probably way more than I should have!!! 😂😂😂
🤫🤫Corona virus lockdown has us ALL watching anything and everything🤣🤣This video was informative and hilarious!!
@@sashatv382 idk about you, but my RUclips viewing habits are the same... 🤨🤷🏼♀️ I genuinely enjoyed watching this process!!! Haha. And I worry just a bit about how much I enjoyed it lol.
Only one Dad's expectations were harmed in the making of this video...
Oh my, that takes me back to my childhood.....I was the one helping picking up bits and pieces. The only difference, no escaping after 12 minutes.....😂😭😍
Yep! I was a stick picker-upper too.
This was actually really interesting for someone who has no prior interest in gardening or yardwork. this video makes me interested in this process, so thanks for sharing. How cool.
Folks, don’t get bored, this is how to be a real dad
The other day I was admiring your lawn and all the trees - everything looked marvelous under sunshine. But now I know that it was hard-earned.
More more more I need more how to dad stuff. Eg how to build a shed, how to do veggie patch , how to paint a house. Love from Australia 😂
Yes! I would love to see those too. This video also raised my respect for Dads everywhere!
same here
Oh man, the scene with your "helpers" brings me back to the "family garden sessions" we used to have with my family when my brother and I were younger, good times
This is hands down the most wholesome thing I've watched 2020. All these efforts for the kids. Things you do for love.
I'd be happy to watch HOW TO GROW VEGETABLES starring HOW TO FAMILY now!
YES! I wanna see this too 😁
good idea!!
Tis is exactly what my Kiwi hubby does every week when he comes back from army work, check out the grass, mow, reseed the patchy bits, water, water, water (reminds me to water when he’s not around) and admire his hardwork when he comes back😘Gotta love Kiwi blokes! You’re an amazing Kiwi dad!
You made me learn about grass growing! That was nowhere near on my agenda 12 minutes ago!! 😂🤣
Seriously impressed most don’t take the time/ want to expend the energy to do it right. GREAT job! 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️
Yep, that’s decided, I’m getting the professionals to do my lawn this spring
Good job!! You should be very proud of yourself! That was A LOT of work!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍
So when are you doing your "Watching Grass Grow" livestream?
We can help chase away the birds with noises. You know those interactive web cams where you can turn a light on and off etc we could do something like that lol
@@angeloddrev YES
Make sure to move/rotate the trampoline around the yard regularly to avoid dead spots. Great Job, comforting to see others experiencing both the ecstasy and agony of growing grass...
You are a God dam legend how to dad 😃...that was one hell of a solid effort mate...keep seeding, keep watering & most importantly keep doing what you do for your beautiful little family 😁🥰 Big love from Down Under 🇦🇺 👍
Wow ! I'm thoroughly impressed, How to Dad ! Job well done. :)
Watched the whole video. We had to do the grass thingy about 20 years ago when we moved into a new house. Can totally relate to having to chase birds away... they are relentless, but seeing that first green haze showing over the ground is so worth it.
How to dad you have encapsulated every thought of trepidation that occurs while undertaking a passion project in this video. Thank you for sharing.
I feel your pain How to Dad! I've been doing exactly this (but thankfully on a smaller scale). All the best people reseed three times!
Hahaha great job mate! You are not cheap my good sir, and you should never characterize yourself that way again. You are 'frugal' and by doing it this way and using your own labor and the 12 minutes you got from your kids, well you've gone and created a wonderful memory of dad growing grass and they got to help. Cheers and continued good luck with your emerald carpet.
Thanks for this video. You've convinced me that I never want to grow grass. LoL
Oh man I can't wait for the sequel, How To Dethatch Grass!
Haha yeah I was thinking that the whole time 😆 dya reckon he’s learnt what a vertimower is yet from his googling etc?
@@Rainbowgrrl or maybe How To Dad is more the hand-rake artisan style of dethatching? We'll have to check back in a few years and see! (Is there a point to dethatching in the first few years after seeding? I'm guessing probably not.)
@@setharnold9764 he may just macguyver himself up the dethatcher 2000! Nar not much point in the first few years though. But I look forward to seeing some follow up to this.
Only How To Dad could get me to watch a video like this and actually get drawn in to see what happened.
The yard looks beautiful. Two thumbs up👍👍
Stumbled onto this video after watching 12 or so videos trying to fix my grass. I watched the entire video and learned more than the other 12 or so. The leveler build lol I had never seen it before and I'm now in the process of making it. Then watched a few more videos and subscribed. Then a few more videos and your TED Talk. I can see why people watch you and you have had so much success. thanks and wish me luck on the backyard project. I'll need it!
This is actually great, wouldn’t mind you add a how to dad “tutorial” once in a while. :)
I would certainly watch more of this kind of video. I loved it.
Not interested in lawn videos but definitely watching this one all the way!
Really didn't expect to be this interested in looking at a grass growning video😮 This was exstremely entertaining to watch!
Could most definately watch more grass growing videos fra how to dad!🤩
So watching grass grow is really not as boring as they say, you just gotta make it fun!
This video was as exciting as watching grass grow... oh wait.
I have never been more entertained watching grass grow than in your video.
I watched you go through this process in real time on Instagram and yet still watched this entire video as if I didn't know the ending....it'll be alright 👍 (also grass looks great!)
This is becoming my most favorite channel. Did the grass thing myself 6 years ago, so can understand. Don’t worry it thickens with time. However, don’t strive for perfection, this only stresses you out. Just enjoy the lawn, patchy or not. Gooosfrabaahhh 🧘🏻♂️
This makes me appreciate the work my parents put in growing a backyard of grass. I just frolicked around as a kid, didn't realize it was this hard! 😅
Your amazing…. I didn’t know anything about growing grass until today. Amazing dad and very humorous .
strangely fascinating. really enjoyed this change of pace and topic!
Just went through this process with my husband for the front lawn. You 100% captured the emotions of planting grass! Next is our backyard!
And this ladies is what a real man looks like!
I hope your family shows you a lot of love because you really deserve it! ♥️♥️♥️
This is actually interesting and fun. Love the dedication, How to Dad!
I planted a patch of grass about that size a few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a couple compact tractors with tiller, loader, roller and etc. My grass also came up spotty, I just left it along and in a years time it filled in and it looks good.
Loved your video, you need to do more like this!
As a kid, I always loved lawn work. Mostly because I got to use a machete and big knife, but it was also really satisfying to see the difference. It was also really calming, just a really steady job. Basically just rake till flat, lay sod, and stomp on it. My dad and I could usually get it done in a day.
Although it's different from your usual stuff, I still enjoyed watching it. Good luck in your landscaping adventures!
👏👏👏👏👏 *Now that's commitment. And we're talking bout grass, so imagine commitment to his family*
2 how to dad videos in one week = awesome 🤩
I love ur videos, keep it up!
You should do more How To Homeowner videos like this, it is part of being a dad. This was a great video, and so true on what grass growing is like!
I made it to the end!
What men do for their families ay 💚
Omg no you sexist ❤💅
And women :)
This video is by far the best one I have came across in my search to learn how to do this job! I knew it couldn't go as other videos show. I'm now 100% planning to have the same results and now am knowledgeable on how to fix it. You deserve a keg!
Meanwhile I didn't plant any grass and still have it everywhere. Such is life!
I love this video, it explains my progress on growing my grass. Finally someone else excited about growing grass.
How to grass, nice. Can't wait for the spin off How to Fly next.
This was great. Have been going through grass saga for 3 years now. It never ends!!!
Funny as man, loved it 😂
Cheers mate!
The cross over I didn't know I needed, great work lads
You know you have made it on RUclips when you can make grass growing entertaining.
You did a pretty good job! You made growing grass look fun!😁
We kind of gave up getting a perfect lawn and mixed white clover into the lawn. It made our lawn more drought resistant. We seeded in the Spring, so we didn't have to water much. It looks lush all season and mowing is every 4 to 6 weeks.✌🏽from 🇨🇦
Not the type of grass I was looking to grow, but glad I stumbled upon this 10/10
1:40 How to Dad flexing his Dad muscles
12 minutes of my life not wasted! Only how to dad can make grass growing fun!
** Me with no kids, watching howtoDAD cause I love his content **
RUclips: Aaah let me put in a nappy ad for this new parent
This was the video that made me say, I’m not paying for sod and I’ll just do it myself
I can't believe I have just watched twelve-minute video of how to grow grass instead of preparing for the exam😂
Anyway, it was still pretty entertaining
Exact same spot
I don't know why I enjoyed this so much. A dad doing dad stuff lol! 👍🏾❤❤
This could have been a 3-part series! I want to see more!
I can’t believe I watched till the end. I know for a fact I will never ever grow grass, but I couldn’t stop watching.
More than the grass, I was thinking bout how quickly the girls are growing up🥺😅
You are too funny. I watched the whole video because i was tired just watching you do all that work, and you never gave up 🙌
As a single female living in an apartment with maintenance, I have no fudging clue why I'm watching this; but alas I am.
What does being a female, or single, have to do with it?
@@TheChocolatePenguin 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣me too😁🙃
@@StoneE4 it’s part of the joke.
@@aperson176 : Please explain how being a female _(and single)_ is part of the joke.
@@StoneE4 the reason it's part of the joke is cause it's part of the joke
When he said, "Did it for you guys" it melted my heart.
I loved this! Go ahead and create similar stuff if you’d like - I’ll happily watch 🤗
Damn. Have to grow grass in the garden. Didn't know what I was getting into. Thanks for the handy guide How to DAD!
I have been waiting for this my whole life... Grass grass grass.. Hopefully in your searching for lawn porn you ran across my channel Lawn Time Coming... Ben from Lawn tips is my idol lol
Lawn Time Coming, what a hilarious name :D
Best grass video on RUclips. I literally sat here and watched the grass grow
After the first seeding grew in it almost looked like you had been watering your lawn with *Brawndo* *_The Thirst Mutilator._* 😏😁
One of my favourite ever RUclips videos. Probably saved me 2 months and a break down.... I'm ordering rolled turf immediately
Ah yes, grass, something that Discord mods never touch.
Never been so happy to see grass! It looks great!
Man I once tried to grow grass but it's just too shady in my woods
I watched probably more than 100 lawn Videos but this was the one!!! Haven't laughed like this in a lang time! Subscribed! Thank you!!
I can totally refer to the emotion related with grass growing. After a couple od moth my husband still has this weird face when me and our daughter step on the grass...
Needa do a whole series on home improvements this is gold
I never had a yard. Looks like a fun project to do honestly, though it seems like a lot of repetitive work
this video is hilarious but poignant at the same time🤣😭
we stan an old school grass growing by hand DAD! always doing the most witout ppl realizing it
I have a feeling you'll go mad before you finish all the other patches around the house xD
Looks really good in the end, idk anything about how grass grows in nz but I can tell you it's so much easier in Scotland
I can't believe you've done Keanu like this. I thought you were cool, man.
I burst out laughing so many times my dogs are hiding under the bed! 🤣😂🤣 Balloons on sticks! Cue movie "The Birds"! 🤣🐦🐦
How to DAD - Uploads a video longer than five minutes
Me - Wait! That's illegal !
I never thought I’d actively enjoy a grass growing tutorial but I did, hats off too you HowtoDad!
Sir, we need a "How to grow toddlers". I'm pretty sure your spreader can handle, ngl.
i had no idea that growing grass was such a complicated process! i thought it was just throw down some seeds, and then water them. loved this video! :)
people that say it "wont fill in" if you let it go, dont know a damn thing about grass.
Love it! Lol your daughters smile is priceless!
