    Being in Canada and still buried under a few feet of snow, it was probably a bit soon for RUclips to serve this up in my feed but I will take it as a sign of hope that the end of winter is coming. I had the best lawn in the neighborhood following your tips last year and look forward to duplicating that success this year!

    Another excellent video. Your advice over the past couple of years has turned my harsh looking lawn, with loads of weed grass, to one that looks beautifully green and fine and has received compliments from my neighbours and family. The very first scarify, seed and top soil was a nervous time during a particularly cold Spring, with patience it paid off amazingly. Many thanks and wishing you all the best.

    I’m in Oregon which I have always though was on par with Ireland or a Scotland 😂 but we get soooo much rain! My issue is everything is covered in moss. You can cook it and it will come right back. I’ve redone my entire lawn and I can never completely get rid of the moss because once the summer comes and the grass goes dormant and dies off especially with crazy heat waves the moss is super happy to fill that spot come winter!
    I’ve just don’t have the financial ability to invest in tons of products so I’m doing my best with what I have!

    Sorry to be a pain. I've missed my regular maintenance schedule with my little lawn for the last couple of years. Sadly, my dog passed away unexpectedly then mum fell ill and passed so I struggled to keep up with it, but your great videos have got me back on it 👍
    I've gradually brought the height down to 30mm to see where the bare patches are. I was thinking of waiting for late February to seed them, top dress, then add a garden fleece to lock in the temps. What are your thoughts? For reference I have a rolawn lawn and mainly use their top dressing etc
    Really appreciate your feedback 🙏

    The one little detail you didn't mention with iron.....if I use a liquid I will buy a cheap as spray bottle as the iron will damage all of the seals really quickly...so to use an expensive bottle is throwing your money away.,..if you use the granular, make sure you don't get it on your outdoor stone work...it will stain your stone with spots of rust if left on the stone and then gets wet.....There are some product that will clean off the rust stains but is very expensive...and you can't use products like CRC....
