    The cylinder mower going to be a game changer. Those lawns will be next level. They was already amazing. Can’t wait for it.

    Oooo cylinder mower! I was looking at a Cobra Fortis as they are a lot cheaper than Allet, as nice as they are.

    I think that large piece of rock you dug out was a leftover from the chicxulub meteorite. Its huge 😂😱🌟🤣😊👍👍👍

    When you turf, just make sure the naff of the turf runs opposite every layer so you get stripes.

    Great work, looked like a lot of effort to hand aerate that space by hand. Where are you able to get bent fescue turf from?
    A cylinder mower is an exciting purchase - maybe your wedding present 😂

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  25 дней назад

      It’s from Tillers Turf and it’s going to be available through the Lawn Association in a few weeks time 👍🏻
      That’s a great spin on the cylinder mower decision 😅

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  24 дня назад

      Sounds like it’s a drainage problem. It’s very similar to what killed my lawn off! Regular aeration will help, but it would have to be hollow tine.

    • @godofthunder2023
      @godofthunder2023 24 дня назад

      I've done some aeration on it used seed compost on the grass as well to try help it we did a inspection on it and they said it's very heavy clay compacted under very thin layer of top soil then turf

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  24 дня назад

      Digging out the clay is always an option, but expensive and time consuming!

    Nice hard work😂
    I'd have left it for a couple of weeks to settle and put a pre seed fertiliser down.
    Laying turf is hard work, prepare too, get a workout.,hands and knees job.
    Turfing,is not easy,
    Enjoy!!

      Laid the turf yesterday and you are absolutely right! Knees in bits, legs killing and must have lost half my body weight in sweat! 😅

    Glyphosate takes ages to work good stuff though.

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  26 дней назад

      To be honest, it’s quicker than you’d think. Once the grass goes yellow, it’s long gone, but dies off even when it still appears green.

  • @razahussain860
    @razahussain860 26 дней назад

    Should have used a tiller to break up the soil. And that chemical that you put down lasts for atleast 6 months or more. So no point in putting turf on that.
