One of the things that makes this video so good/helpful is that you show the imperfections in your process along the way; this means much more to a DIYer/non-professional than the videos made by pros. Then, when you end up with a terrific lawn at the end of your process it shows us, the DIYer, that even though our imperfect process may discourage us as we move through it - we can end up with a very nice result.
Hey mate, this comment made my day! My whole point with the channel is to do JUST THAT! You can have a decent lawn without having to dedicate your life to lawncare or be a pro greenkeeper etc,, so glad you see my videos in that light, thanks dude, much appreciated. 🙏
Sam, that's some task you took on. It will be worth it in the end. I renovated my back lawn in April. It's only 45 m2, a postage stamp compared to yours, but I sit back and am proud of what I have done. I should say that I am 75 years old and suffer with arthritis in my knees. It took me 5 days to do what you did in a few hours. Luckily Scotland is blessed with lot's of rain. I did however invest in an automatic water timer, I had it set to come on 3 times a day for 15 minutes. You will soon have a nice lush lawn. 👍
Hey Ray, wow, I hope I am still in your shape when I am 75, doing this, even if it takes 5 days is a lot of work, great job! Hopefully I can post an update soon and show a nice looking lawn, if no upload comes, then you know why 😅
I am also using the same brand but in RTF. It is a multi-grain tall fescue. But I am in Las Vegas so that is a big difference. In order to open those bags you have to look for a small spring and start pulling on the small string on one corner of the bag. If it doesn't work on the first time then move to the other side and pull out a small string from there. It always works for me. Best of luck.
ahhh you need to pull the small string first? I usually just take one, the times I have managed to do them I guess I guessed and picked the right one. Always thought it worked by pulling either. Was so happy I managed to do it, never happens :)
We’ve been doing a full lawn renovation that started in februari, only on saturdays.. i did my first Seeding with a RPR mix from barenbrug on monday,🙏🏻🤞🏻😁 Greetings from a new subscriber living in belgium ✌🏻
Hey Glenn, nice to hear someone else using RPR too! 😁 Hope it turns out well, keep me updated with your progress dude. Also, thanks for the sub my man, really appreciate it 🙏
Sam your videos are great. Down to earth and not over serious like many other channels. I’m an Aussie in France and have been on my own adventures for a couple years. It’s been fun watching your videos and they are very enjoyable. No one uses peat moss here in France either ! Just standard “terreau” like Sweden. And I feel your pain for the hard work - I did a similar size lawn by myself and it took a couple days not 7 hours by myself. Can’t wait to see the results for such a late spring renovation. Good luck ! PS. have visited Sweden many many times - mainly south west - Göteborg Borås - Varberg - Halmstad areas mainly !!
Hey Alessandro, thank you very much my man, really appreciate it. Hopefully the lawn will look better than before or at least just as good, crossing my finger :) next time, come to Stockholm and let's have a beer on the lawn :D
In Las Vegas I do top dress with peat moss. Actually it is a special type of peat loss that comes out of Northern Canada. I do that in order to make sure that it keeps the birds away, especially the damn pigeons, and keeps the soil or seed moist. You're in Las Vegas with a humidity level of only about 10 or 15% keeping it moist is a priority.
Good turf tips. The weather is delaying some of my over seeding this year. Normally I get an early start, mid August, but this year it was just too hot, and then dry. At more normal seeding time, of September 1-15, it was still hot and DRY. I've never over seeded this late, but I'm going to try it. The turf type tall fescue ( tttf) that I use is from United Seed and it normally germinates in 5-7 day's or so. I have used the big square bails of peat moss at times. Just barely cover. Thanks, John, Indiana, US
Hey John, thanks mate. Had the same here, was hot for a long time so it was hard to start early, downside is that our fall and spring are getting shorter, we jump straight from and to winder it seems, hard to plan overseeding with that kind of weather. Let me know how your lawn turns out after the overseeding.
Hey Amit, good question. If you use sand based top dress then for sure it will raise the lvl over the years, however, it will sink a little bit as well, especially when you core aerate, so it won't make much difference. If I would have a perfect lvl then I wouldn't add anymore. Normal top dress with organic matter will decompose over a year so that won't affect it either.
I know they use the peat moss here because once you get the hydrophobic wet enough, it will retain a lot of the moisture you put on it, but it doesn't have any nutritional value at all. I am going with a compost for on top of my reseeding this year, and see if that help. We are in a severe drought, so I will have to find a way to sneak water it 2x per day. Good job. I wish I could redo the whole thing too.
Hmm, I always want to try peat moss but always come back to what you say about the nutritional value, I want to get some good soil or topdress into the existing soil. But I am really going to try and remember it for next year, want to try peat moss :) We should swap weather it seems, you can take some of the rain we have and I can take a bit of sun :D Thanks for dropping by mate, appreciate it!
I'm enjoying your videos and you're inspiring me to fix up my own lawn! I'm a beginner, but very interested in putting in the work. Thank you/Tak and greetings from Ireland!
Hey Steve, glad to hear I can inspire someone :D Trust me, it's hard work, but so satisfying in the end :) let me know if you do start your project mate, and ask questions if you have any.
@@SamsLawn My grandfather kept a beautiful garden and my dad doesn't really have time to put into it, so I'm going to take over and get it back to its former glory. I know it's a lot of effort but it will be satisfying to see it transform over time, plus it's good exercise! There's a good bit of thatch and it's quite patchy, so I'll need to rent a scarifier for a day. I'm in the process of making compost which will be used as a top dressing. My plan is to spray or scatter moss and weed killer, then mow, then dethatch/scarify, then rake, then feed it, then overseed and cover with a top dress. Does this sound like it makes sense? Any tips are welcome! I heard you mention that you're north of Stockholm, I've been to Uppsala a few times for work and pleasure, it's a beautiful area and full of historical importance. Anyway, keep up the good work!
@@SM_zzz Sounds like a good plan mate, only thing I would say is that make sure you have a week or two between feeding it and seeding, otherwise the older grass will just burst up and cover the bare spots from the sun so the need seeds will be blocked. Other than that, it sounds like a solid plan, take it step by step :) and keep me posted mate!
Tjena, det blev nog ett lager på 1-2 cm skulle jag nog tro, mätte inte men skulle gissa. Jag hade inte använt den för att sprida k-dress, iaf inte om man vill ha ett tunt fint lager. Dock kan jag säga att jag använt den väldigt mycket ändå för vanligt dressgjord från Rölunda, alla grannar lånar den hela tiden också. Jag personligen tycker den är värd, dock inte för att sprida k-dress 🤷🏻♂️ Eventuellt att man kanske kan gå snabbare så att den sprider mindre per kvm, dock bara en hypotes.
Hi Sam, Im in the US and everything I see and read recommends peat moss. However as of this year I think, a lot of places are starting to discontinue sales of peat moss because of environmental issues that is causes. "Peat extraction releases substantial CO2, a greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change" according to an article from the NY times. So I think over time we will see a lot less peat moss use. I am planning an overseed project this fall and will be trying to find a good topdressing alternative. Love the channel. I think Adams english is just fine. I wish schools in the US put more of a requirement and emphasis on a secondary language.
Hey mate, I also think peat moss is going to be used less and less, doesn't really add anything to the soil either. The only thing though is that it's pretty easy to use, it keeps moisture really well! But I still would go with a nice topdressing. I will let Adam know mate, he will be happy someone thought his English is good! :) English is mandatory here and a secondary language as well. So normally we have English together with either Spanish, French or German :)
If you put a polythene sheet over the top for a week you'll only have to water it once. It heats the ground, stops the water evaporating and keeps birds off. Speeds germination rapidly
For sure mate, if I ever go over to fescue or KBG, I would definitely consider that, but for the RPR it goes so fast, don´t really feel the need to bother. I am thinking about adding some KBG this fall actually, then I might do it. Good input!
We just seeded our lawn in south Sweden and I can see after the rain some spots where the seeds are not cover with soil, should I try to cover it with dress soil or should I let it be? Thanks !!
Hey Omar, no need to cover it again, you will end up with bare spots anyways, just overseed come spring and you are good to go :) Hope it turns out well, let me know dude
Hi again! We used weibulls extra green, it's growing really slowly...I hope that the seeds that didn't grow will grow in the spring...do use recommend to over seed now or wait until the spring?
@@OmarAlvarezGarcia Hey Omar, I would wait, extra green contains mostly kentucky blue grass (ängsgröe) and it has a germination period of at least 3-4 weeks, so it will grow veeeery slowly. So wait with the overseeding until spring, Since you are in the south of Sweden you still have time to wait for it to grow for another week or two, then I would put out the fall fertilizer and then your done for this year and you have good preparation for spring. good luck dude
Thanks for the videos Sam! Can you tell the date of each work you perform please? I live in Haninge and not sure at what time of the year to renovate the law or just overseed, give nutriments etc... i need to follow this part of the world's weather. Thank you!
Hey Dude, of course. 17th of may I did the first app of Roundup and 5th of June I did the entire reseeding of it. Best case scenario I would have liked to start earlier, the whole project was a bit rushed because of the awful spring we had, was so cold for so long. Starting in august would be the way to go if you want to do it before the fall, I think that would be much easier and you won't have the stress of warm weather :) good luck dude, and keep me updated or ask any questions you have
I'm using peat moss in Belgium. I get it in the garden center. It's very bad for the environment, not by putting it down, but the harvest of it. But dirt-cheap and water retaining... Overseed, overseed, overseed some more then weed control. Looking forward to result!
Hey Mate, interesting, so you use it as well! I mean, it all sounds pretty good, I am not really sure why we don´t use it more often here in Sweden. Maybe I'll try it next time, see how it works. Hope to have some results to show soon :)
Yeah, it is but it's just strange that it doesn't seem to be very commonly used for lawn care, not in europe at least. Not sure why not. Seems pretty useful and easy to use when seeding. Even though it really doesn't add anything to the soil really.
Nice work Sam! And well done Adam, I hope you paid him well :) Peat moss is basically "torv". - Granngården sells it as växttorv. Maybe you can also use "torvströ"? (not sure though). You are basically trying to have an absorbant material that holds water and decomposes easily over time, so could be worth looking into! Good luck with the germination! Also, where about in Sweden are you?
Thanks Kristian, don't worry, he got paid :) really helped out all day and really didn't slack, good to see youngsters still have it in them. oooh granngården sells it? Had no idea, never really looked for it but when I thought about it, I couldn't really even see where to find it. Worst thing about top dress, especially the cheap one I used is the weeds that come with it, so if torv is weed free, then it really might be worth looking into. Thanks dude. I am just north of Stockholm. Where are you?
@@SamsLawn I am south of Stockholm near Gnesta. I dont know if what they sell at granngården is free of weeds, but it will lay on top of the topdress and absorb good amounts of water. Buy a bag or two and see if it fits your needs! (And the lanzie ;) )
3.8 cubic foot tightly compressed bale of reasonable quality peat moss is 116 krona here, this kind is screened and dried with natural gas heaters because a lot of the cost of shipping peat is the weight. Air dried, more fibrous and chunky peat is more money because it must be handled carefully in harvesting. Wheat farmers don't like bogs in their field, equipment gets stuck and wheat likes heavier soil so some, on private land gets diesel fuel thrown on it and it gets lit by a tiger torch or flame heater. Most will never be dug because there are no roads in those places.
Hey Wayne, that's interesting! Have you used it before? I am wondering about weeds, since the cheap top dress I used, almost always have weed seeds in them. What about peat moss?
@@SamsLawn Peat is sterile and acidic so it deters fungus, and is very absorbent. In WW1 they put dried moss inside bandages for the soldiers because of those qualities....and hardly any died! ( I do not know that!) The pH of a peat bog might be 4.5 so not much can grow there. In Greenland, I think, they have dug up poor bastards that were killed and thrown in and centuries later they are preserved.
Hey mate, really want to try out peat moss, it looks to be better to use when throwing it on seeds, not sure why is't not a thing over here. But I will definitely give it a go
