Should give it its 1st cut or wait it’s knitted together but not really knitted if you know what I mean ! I can lift it a bit but not a great deal!

    I followed the steps. Made one mistake! Threw seeds down after a cut and then used the fork to put holes in the grass 🤦🏽‍♂️. Tried not to go to deep. Hopefully it will be ok. I wanted to ask, when would you recommend doing the next cut after over seeding? I did the first cut when it was approximately 90-100mm taking a third off. Reseeded and can see some of that starting to germinate, but I noticed the cut grass is growing rapidly, and I don’t want to disturb the new seed. Should I just “let it go” I mean grow? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve come too far to mess it up now!

    You often talk about when you aerate it gives the seeds a hole to fall into
    And germinate, but if the hole is 3 inch deep , isn’t that far to deep to sow seeds at ?
    I mean you wouldn’t put 3 inches of soil on top of your seed and expect them to grow

    Hi Robbie
    I did my front lawn according ( as best I could) to your excellent instructions. I had removed the stumps of two trees so there was a bit of serious damage which I then repaired with turf from elsewhere in the garden. The turf was a bit Raghu round the edges so I filled in with some old soil I had stored next to the compost heap. ( what could go wrong?)
    Anyway, it’s now October and I have just dug out my second crop of ugly brown toadstools. There are loads of them.
    I have holes all over my lawn, but before I fill with sterilised soil this time, what do you suggest please?
    We love your videos and invaluable advice.
    Thanks Robbie
    Ps the back lawn is now amazing!!

    My lawn is going quite yellowy? I believe it is lawn rust. I've not treated it all but would you suggest I put some autumn fertiliser lawn care stuff down? It's only a little lawn but I'm terrified of burning it and wrecking it even more. You're also using a special aerator but would forks be just as good? The soil is quite clayey.

    Hey Robbie. You mentioned there that one of the few things you did for last 6 weeks was taking leaves off the grass. I'm just getting germination but the lawn is getting covered in falling leaves! I'm doing my best to take them off but just wondering what your approach is to that. It obviously means having to walk on the seedlings - I can't get to the leaves otherwise - and no matter which of the next 3 options I pick they all involve stepping on the area.
    I then have a choice of picking by hand (tiring but lawn is only circa 90 square metres I suppose) or rake them (worried this will damage seedlings and/or move seed) or use blower on low setting (again worried about damage and moving seed).
    Any insight into what you guys do? And thanks as always!

    Hi Robbie, I found this video via Google, which took me to your website. Unfortunately, when running the RUclips video from the website, it only ran up to where you were just about to tell us about cutting. I kept getting an error message. However, when I copied the URL and ran the video directly on RUclips, everything was fine. Also, when attempting to run from your website, I couldn't like, subscribe, or leave a comment. Suggest you provide the URL ruclips.net/video/UQ_kADOC_ws/видео.html on your website, to avoid these issues and get more likes and subscribers. I've now subscribed on RUclips.
    Loved the video, Robbie, especially the captions. But, you missed the single most important piece of information. You told us to cut when the grass reaches 60-70mm, but no caption to say what height to trim it to! (50mm was closest I could guess?). Please confirm
    Thanks, Rick
