    This was actually a very good video to do. People don't realize that the actual lawn mower they're using affects the grass --- when we get down to everything that you're doing to make your lawn better this area needs to be addressed and you certainly addressed it. I also have a theory based on lawn care which is when you have your lawn cut by a professional they tend to use very heavy equipment, they cut the lawn in a very short settings, and at times when wet--- burning the lawn and then they are tracking lawn clippings from other lawns that they work on which can spread weeds and disease. Having your own lawn mower that can cut at a very high height and is very lightweight to maneuver is key to lawn care and especially re-seeding. Once again JB, my hats off to you, cheers!

    In the video it looks like you mulch mowed after seeding, but you didn't specify whether to bag or mulch. Is mulching recommended, or should you bag to keep from smothering the new grass seedlings and give them more access to sunlight?

      ​@@mellowjammerI would say mulch if it's dry weather... If you are forced to mow in wet weather bag it. If it's clumping it will smother.

    JB, any idea on how to keep SKUNKS away from yard? On the ranch we could trap & gas. In the city we have to be "humane."

    • @GarageGear
      @GarageGear  2 года назад +1

      Hey William! Here’s a couple options my father in law has tried that have generally worked for him in the past. A bright light or a motion sensor flood light will scare skunks away. Most animals, including skunks, dislike the smell of citrus fruits. Place orange or lemon peels around the yard as a natural skunk repellent. Predator urine (dogs, coyotes) can be used to repel a skunk.

    You should lightly scalp your grass before seeding and you should wait 3 weeks before cutting it. New grass roots are way too shallow to even be on it beforehand.
