Thanks, I’ll try this today.
Thanks for watching, it may help a little! Depending on how level your lawn is, for really low spots, lawn leveling with a sand/soil mix is always the best long term solution. That will be coming up in a future video.
hopefully this works for my back yard. my entire backyard is a lake right now and the down pours are not letting up
I hope this helps! A long term solution is definitely going to be lawn leveling! I need to do some to my yard, but not happening right now!
Did it work?
Wolverines hell yeah!! flooded yards same here on a water table sucks! french drains coming soon
Yes, gotta love UM! The drains have got to be a time consuming task for sure, hopefully that helps! I’m sure it’s a mud fest in the spring, eh?
GO BLUE!!! :) I’m also a wolverine!
I have a low spot in my yard without anywhere to drain. It becomes an issue in the spring (after winter thaw) and during heavy rains. Thought about renting an auger, drill a bunch of holes and fill them with pearock. Not sureif that would work. By the way, Go Blue!
I thought about adding a ton of sand to those areas while spreading and leveling it out because it still gives problems in the spring and heavy rains. It’s definitely a project I keep procrastinating.
Thank
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
I’m having this same issue, everybody keeps telling me to fill the area with top soil and level it out. Do you know if that fixes this problem?
Leveling can help, always good to use a sand/soil mixture, but if it's compacted, aeration once or twice every year can help significantly.
Tbh depending on how large of an area, that can easily take a considerable amount of top soil. Sand soil mix would be the way to go. If you have a nice deep spot. You can pick up a box drain at a local gardening shop. There like a 12×12×something box with wholes on the side and a drain on top. Dig a whole to the depth of the drain. If the area is really wide or really deep. Drop 2 spread out from each other(but at the deepest points) and that will solve the problem and leave your yeard as it is.
Is the air-8 toxic for dogs?
Great question. On the manufacturer’s website, greenecountyfert.com, there are a ton of product resources with spec sheets, labels, sds info, studies, etc. that contain a ton of information. More specifically, in their DIY section, they list all of their products are safe for pets but many do contain humid acid which can stain certain surfaces, like carpet or rugs which could be tracked in. They do recommend to let the product dry before allowing pets on the treated areas.
Bad advice it’s not going to work in long-term, barely working shorterm
Surely helped for my situation! A little soil leveling additionally helped as well.
I have a similar issue in TN. I don't mind thinking outside of the box just be careful digging in wet soil especially here in TN cause more impacting overall (aka wait a couple days & soil should ideally have some removed but I hope that worked!) What I had some success with in my yard was digging a small "moat" for lack of a better word-it pretty much looked like a 6-8" wide rock border and with metal edging on both sides to keep the material in place I put sand for the base (still below the soil line) and then river rock the last couple inches. Its never flooded again and it did take me a day but the plants that kept dying in that bed have thrived now for 3 years. If it'll let me add a pic I will. So far I manually aerate the rest of the yard every few years and I have tripled my gardens plus I nourish the crap out of it (good soil & plants can absorb more water than not). Another option is called a rain garden and you pretty much plant things that don't mind wet feet in a garden in the area most problematic. I love natural fixes. Good luck & keep at it!
You can’t work more than an hour without taking a break? 😂 Get your stamina up
If I absolutely had to, sure! But do I need to? Nah!
No shit. That wouldn't fly with me.
There were absolutely no need for that comment!! Why you even here? Troll less!
