    I have a video request: a compilation by season, with the best steps you've taken, by week, with links, using old videos. Start with autumn.
    I'm not a video editor, so this may be a huge request. If so, ignore. But it'd be nice to have "1st week of September, I did this. 2nd week of September, I did that."
    You turned that lawn around from a couple of years ago.

    The sun Joe is economical and really brings out a lot. Saves me a lot of work. I never use the catcher with it. But do go over lawn with that catcher because it would fill up too fast on the sun Joe and would have to stop too often. Just like you have shown. This came up Sept 20, 2024 trying to do a full renovation but just did this three weeks ago for overseeding. Your lawn looks so lovely green. Sorry about the tree😢

    Good video, thanks for sharing. I am just curious, did you throw the seed on top of the soil and it germinated? I thought it's necessary to cover the seed in a thin layer of soil. What do you think?

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  5 месяцев назад +1

      No need to cover it after dethatching because the dethatcher will dig small groves in the soil. Once you lay your seed down and start watering deep the seed will settle into the grooves and start germinating

You could also buy a statue owl and place it in the yard and they'll keep the birds away also. Yea I only use the wire wheel.

    I knew something looked different but I couldn't put my finger on it. Not gonna lie... I had to reference another video to be sure. That tree that was on the right is gone!!! On another note.. I started bagging my clippings to keep from having to dethatch as much. I'll grab a Sunjoe next year, so it will be the old fashioned way for now...

    • @kingposeidon9362
      @kingposeidon9362 Год назад

      Tall fescue does not tend to accumulate thatch. It appears that what he is removing is what is sometims referred to as "debris", which consists of grass clippings, tree debris (twigs, nuts/seeds, mulched leaves), dead grass/weeds, etc. Despite the name of the SunJoe tool, I think that it is really better described as a power rake versus a dethatcher, at least when using the attachment with tines. The scarifier attachment could be used as a true dethatcher (i.e., removing a true thatch layer (not just lawn debris) for those grasses that do tend to accumulate thatch or it could be used as a verticutter, which can be beneficial for rhizomatous or stoloniferous grasses. For tall fescue, after power raking with the tines attachment, I would use the scarifier attachment to dig grooves in the soil to improve the seed-to-soil contact for the overseeding.
