The pigeon in the background on the shed is thinking it’s a all you can eat buffet with the seed your putting down 😂
I’ve watched the lawn association channel as well. I think it’s more impartial than a lot of channels wanting to promote their own services and products.
Absolutely agree
I learnt a lot from watching it
The rain will have a effected it. I just can’t believe everyone’s luck. We just need some dry weather. I know you will get your lawn back.
Love the experimentation. Looking forward to seeing the fescue/bent seeding video. I’m 8 days in, no germination yet.
That top lawns coming along great compared to how it was. We've finally got a run of good weather where I am in Scotland so can get out and do my renovation tomorrow, gonna be back breaking but worth it if it sorts the lawn out and stops the dogs bringing in the equivalent of the sahara desert in mud every day !
🤣
Hope your renovation goes well! 👍🏻
Really liking your videos, You have inspired me to renovate my long neglected lawn. Keep up the good work.
That's sound! Cheers 👍🏻
Your doing great mate keep going, my missus is bored to death with my lawn talk too……..
🤣
Same here: first she said: find a hobby, later iam talking with my lawn, she is looking at me little weird😅. Greetings from Germany
Love the format of the video’s, keep up the good work 👍
Cheers! 👍🏻
Literally been watching you for 2 years now. Always jealous of your lawns. Keep up the great work. Your content is a great watch.
Cheers - appreciate that 👍🏻
Dont under sell yourself big man, you are doing a great job, especially as an amateur. Your information and application are good. I would fleece as others have said and or get kids windmills that should keep those fat Doo's away Lol. Keep up the good work.
Cheers 👍🏻
Kid's windmills is actually a huge shout! It will look a bit mad, but it might keep the pigeons away!
Agree re Lawn Association. Learned a lot from them.
Subbed as I'm interested to see the bent/fescue lawn (inspired by the LA). I'm planning on renovating a rye lawn with a similar mix later in spring.
Cheers 👍🏻
Good luck with the renovation too!
You need a falcon for the bloddy pigeons
Yh the pigeons are a nightmare,I have been on bird watch all week to keep them off 😂😂😂😂
If you have some I’d get some garden fleece on both those lawns! Mine has been 2 weeks in the back. Watering every day and have great germination. The fleece seems to keep it moist and imagine slightly warmer creating a good growing environment. The neighbours will think you’re mad but well worth it. Will also keep the birds 🦅 off !!
I did this last year with the lawn at the bottom and germination was perfect - food for thought for next time I think!
And to be fair, they'll already think I'm mad with the fence at the bottom! 😅
I've also reseeded a couple of times this year already, just being impatient of course. Right now we are having some cooler temps again, begin of May seems better again in our parts of the world (I'm in the Netherlands, seems very similar in temps as UK, we are neighbors after all). Personally I'm considering using Tall Fescue at some point, seems more popular in the US than over here but its popularity is slowly growing I think. Also nice hearing about the Lawn Association, I came across it last year as well. I do also like Rye grass because its shiny & grows fast, but yes it will thin out. Especially winters seem quite unforgiving depending on the circumstances.
You're right about temps. They look to be creeping up next week as start to get close to May. And I agree about rye - I quite like the aesthetic of it. But like you said, winter just does a number on it!
Brilliant video mate,I renovated last week Saturday but the old grass has shoot up very quickly,still pateintly waiting on the new grass to start germinating
I had the same problem. Had to cut it in the end. As it was getting ridiculous
@@MxWoody yh I might have to donit this weekend,because the weather not looking great next week
Cheers!
You'll be like me, I'm out there every day looking for new shoots! 🤣
@NoviceGardener lol,yh mate am definitely out there about 3 times a day checking to see if the new seeds germinating yet lol
The temperatures are still fairly cool at the moment about 10 or 12 degrees and really low at night. You may have been better putting some fleece over the lawn to assist germination and keep the birds off.
I’m going to wait a week or so and see if it gets warmer before I overseed.
Not a bad shout. Next week looks decent to be honest.
Should be good when it pops up and we get some sun! Still soggy here so I've been forking it and spreading sawdust - normally what we do when a cricket pitch is wet.
Keep the updates coming and take care!
Cheers 👍🏻
Hope you can get onto yours soon. I went to another new build last week and it was still completely waterlogged - crazy April conditions at the moment!
@@NoviceGardener Yeah pretty crazy for the 2nd year now. Cheers man!
Love the channel, but can’t help thinking if you do the same thing to the top grass you’ve done previously, that failed, that it might do the same thing?
I plan to redo my lawn this year and have followed your channel regularly as I know you are a novice like me, so gaining tips but understand everyone’s soil and sunlight differs
Looking forward to the results 🤞
Nice one!
I did consider this, but the year before it faired quite well through the winter. I'm planning to leave it a touch longer once we get to the back end of autumn this time!
But if the bottom lawn goes well, this may very well become bent/fescue 👍🏻
Good luck. What is the 70- 30 sand which you use.Thanks
It's from Agrigem
I sowed grass seed on the 1st of January still growing but I sowed grass in March and still waiting for it to grow
Too early! Want to wait until mid April to May to seed as you get frost earlier and that will ruin the seeds.
@@rossmartin2868 well in January it never
Like Ross said, far too cold in Jan. This time of year is ideal.
Not sure about the bent grass but the fescue seems to be underused in the UK. It is prob the number one turf grass in America for good reason.
Both bent and fescue are. Lots of them up and down the country. I'm not expert, but it must just be how they can multiple easily.
What date did you overseed this lawn? I think I'm about a week behind, so keen to track your progress and see where I might be in comparison
22nd March was when I first over seeded. The seed that germinated did well thankfully, it was just the stuff in the thinnest areas and around the perimeter.
I follow all your videos.
I’m just putting this out there if ok? I am disabled and my wife does our lawns. I bought a new Allett Stirling 51 mower, c/w 10A battery and rapid charger, also Allett grooved roller and also the attachment that can be used to put on QC cartridges and will fit the mower above. In all £4,600. This is 2 weeks old, never used, never been on concrete etc and so no roller scratches. It’s on carpet in my garage.
I was diagnosed with cancer same day delivered 2 weeks ago, also my wife diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. This means with no real garden workers in my area and I know have never used a mower like this new Stirling, do you know of anyone looking for a Rolls Royce Mower, as you know by using one. I know I will lose money but if it went to a good home, I can accept that. I’m devastated by all this and a 2 week old mower with 2 years warranty registration with Allett complete. Would you or a customer be looking for one? I’m not letting a guy use it to ruin on my stone work around my lawns and will stick with old Allett Kensington. There is no other reason for selling and all genuine. I have all paperwork and letters confirming my cancer and that I've been bedbound for 8 years, and that my wife was cutting the lawns. I'm not sure what it will get price wise, but the company who sold, won't take it back and Allett won't either.

Really sorry to hear about what you’re going through!
Personally, I’m not looking for one at the moment (current paying for a wedding), but I’m happy to leave this comment in case anyone else is interested 👍🏻
@@NoviceGardener I really appreciate that and a big thank you. I hope you have a wonderful wedding and a great life together
Mate do you have good drainage ? I'm in Aust so I have no clue about weather and rain you guys cop but if I have that lawn here First thing I would do is address the drainage even the garden beds look like mud.
Drainage is quite poor with the lawn being quite clay heavy. I've improved it down the bottom with a drain, but the plan moving forward is to hollow tine aerate multiple times a year, particularly when we get to autumn/winter.
Do you have another channel? I can't seem to locate anything to do with the renovation of your bottom lawn?
Nope, just this one. My previous stuff is all on this channel, but I'm uploading a video this evening showing the seeding of the bottom space.
First you’re good with lawns and you’re working on a garden that ain’t the best to maintain cause of the shade.
Watch lawntips, Daniel Hibbet, Ryan Knorr or the Gingerpest if you’ve not come across them before.
There is a lot of good stuff out there. I think my situation is a tad different with it being so enclosed. It's just finding the right grass type that will thrive. If the bent/fescue on the bottom tier goes well, it may be something I do up on this lawn too.
Pigeon in tje background thinking yep hurry up
🤣
One of the best things I do after seeding, is pin 4-5 helium filled foil balloons in the lawn about waist height…. NOT 1 PIGEON lands now, whereas before they ate the lot!
I've heard people doing similar to this and it working. Good shout
That green stuff you’ve got around the bottom lawn can you not make a makeshift roof on top to keep the pigeons off 😂
Huge shout! 🤣
@@NoviceGardenerdefo worth a shout!
Put sum fleece over the grass well good to stop birds
Always a great shout 👍🏻
'some' 😉
Take the bag off when you mow it. It'll feed the lawn.
I don’t understand why you don’t just rip it all up and lay turf, literally pi**ing against the wind.. look at the bottom
Needs to stop cutting it to an inch of its life in winter. Using how to click bait when he litteraly has no clue then watching other youtubers. But hey his money he likes to splash us the wall on expensive tools to make him feel better. 4:42 here he goes again cutting it.
Two comments from a pair of tits demonstrating what is exactly wrong with RUclips! He is like MOST of us watchers, he enjoys seeding and working in the garden, it’s really not that hard to understand? Keep up the great videos mate we appreciate it 👍🏻
@@poo7481I'm no expert but I read recently that the guy who has the lawn of the year cuts his lawn all year round and cuts it regularly.
Hence why there is nothing left of it. The lawn has small roots so needs longer longer leef
store and no way of getting energy from the little sun it gets
The thumbnail says 'The Renovation Continues' and 'the weather wasn't on our side'. Sorry if you felt misled, but that's kind of what the video was about.
I'd try not to get too stressed about it all. Life's too short to get this stressed by a video - especially one on a lawn.
