- For the first time in what feels like an eternity, I managed to spend some time in my own garden and make plans for my own lawn. In this video I discuss my lawn care plans for this year as well as what Ive been up to in and around the garden.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks 🙏
Yet another great tutorial.
My lawn was looking quite similar to yours not so long ago.
First of all, I'm a total novice and rely on professional lawn care experts like yourself for guidance.
Unfortunately as I live in northern Ireland it is really exorbitant to order lawn care products from the mainland.
Therefore, I have came up with a " tea mixture" and it has resulted in my lawn looking like a putting green ( my neighbours words, not mine)
I simply apply a 50/50mix of Miracle grow ever green liquid and Doff concentrated liquid seaweed applied with a garden hose attachment.
The results after applying this are amazing, my lawn is much healthier and greener looking, and the sward has got really thicker.
I just wanted to let you know that there is a way to rejuvenate what might seem a lost couse without breaking the bank.
Just on a note, that is a beautiful tribute to your sister my friend, I'm actually doing the same thing here for a recently lost family member.
Best wishes from Northern Ireland...Billy.
Thanks Billy for sharing your results. 😊😊 Just goes to show doesn't it, you don't need to have a large bank balance. All the best
Lovely to keep the memories going with the sunflowers. My condolences to you and your family.
Thanks 👍
Sorry for your loss Shaun. I've had a recent health scare myself. I was in hospital for 1 week. Your videos helped me I can tell you.
Gotta make the most of every day.. So very true..
Great video. Really sorry to hear about your sister.
This channel is literally a university of practical lawn care
Wow thanks!
Great, thanks Seaun
@@LawnRight Will you publish a book at some point?
@@ahyolmu hi.. Yes 😊. In fact I've already written a percentage
@@LawnRight oh wow. Look forward to it! There is so much useful info in your videos I can’t seem to remember some of the useful tips and only realise when I revisit your past videos for my lawn care.
Sorry for your loss Shaun...thats no age....life is cruel..❤
Hi Shaun,
Good to see your taking sometime for yourself as it is good for your soul
Am sure the lawn will come back to its best in no time
Thanks for all your videos not only are the extremely helpful but are also great to watch
Cheers mate
Great video. Lovely touch with the sunflowers. Whenever I have grown them the seed heads always attract birds.
Thanks.. 🙏
In my mind you've sorted the worst problem and that's finally settling on a plan, always feel better once I've made a plan and can put the effort into making it work.👍take it the pains eased abit as don't look to be limping anymore.🤞👍
Thanks.. Yeah the pains gone now thankfully
Cannot wait to see the result!
Cheers.. Me too
Brilliant video as always 👍 I’m sorry I didn’t know about your sister 🥹. I hope you manage to grow loads of sunflowers 🌻. Thanks so much for your positivity. Bless ya all 🥰
It's ok x. Kepe moving forward
The sunflowers will look nice and are a great tribute to you sister. We usually grow sunflowers in tubs specifically for the birds.
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully we can enjoy them before the birds find out
Great stuff, as always, Shaun! Looking forward for the holiday myself too!
Can't wait!
I get what your saying about not wanting the sunflower head eaten, I'd of felt the same until I heard about someone who was having flowers stollen from a grave side, it wasn't until their family seen it was actually a rabbit eating them and decided it was actually quite cute as if the animals and chosen to visit the plants / grave side.
You might not be so keen as might spoil the appearance of your garden
We do have a pet rabbit but tit doesn't go in the garden
A copper beech hedge would be nice replacing existing hedge..
Thanks for the idea
maybe a bit seed around the 2 box then see what develops when you're not so busy 👍
Thanks!
No problem! 😊😊😊😊 Thanks
Ahhh nvm looking at the hedge more closely I can see why you are deciding on the fence idea, it is rather rough.
A1 fertilizer is the one I also use, I'm glad it's not just me who thought it needed a lot of product! Sorry for your loss 🙌
Looks a lot better with that height. Keep crackin on ..
Thanks, will do!
Also just so you know there’s no links in the description and comments about the weed killer mixing etc (I know it’s attached at the bottom of the description opening but most people don’t look at that and tend to look for an actual text link in the description as well).
Hi Shaun, hope you enjoyed your break.
I am very grateful for your videos, they have been very helpful.
I have been given a large bag of turf feed. That is all that is on the bag, the label has got wet and faded.
It was from a professional lawn maintenance gardener.
My problem is what rate to apply it.
I dont want to waste it so i figured it cant do any harm as long as i dont apply to heavily.
Any suggestions on allocation rate please?
Cheers.
Dont work too hard!
Hi I'd 100% be asking the person what the product was or what they apply at to make sure. If you've got something like a Scott's hand spreader you could try it on setting 2 which is quite light and get a feel for it that way
Thanks Shaun, hes not bout anymore so I will go with setting 2 on my hand spreader as you suggested.
Its too expensive to waste
Hi Shaun, I’m sorry to hear of your loss.
You mentioned ants yesterday on lawns. I renovated a lawn recently and at first cut I discovered ant hills everywhere. I wonder do you have a product that will kill the queen and the rest of the nest?
Thanks.
I don't I'm afraid.. Try some diotomateous earth or ant gone
my dog will see any thing off the garden.
Love your videos Shaun because you show your own lawn warts and all.
I have a question though . I also use A1 spring/summer fertlizer. I overseeded 3 weeks ago and after digging out areas of AMG was left with bare patches. I seeded those areas of course more heavily.
Can I use the A1 fertilizer as it has 3% iron.
Hi if the seeds all come through an looking healthy and you water well it should be OK but at the same time I'd perhaps wait another week or 2
Thank you Shaun
Hi, love following your channel and thanks to you sharing your knowledge I had the best lawns I've ever had last season. However we in NZ are in winter now and I want to attempt to remove areas of crab grass or carpet grasses that look so out of place with fine fescue and rye grass. I'm considering flame weeding the patches and once dead scarifying to remove dead matter then covering with composting till I can renovate full lawns again in early spring. These area are so noticeable when it rains . Have you ever used propane flame weeding to remove unwanted grasses in lawns.... Thanks this lawn care seems to get a real hold and the want to improve for year to year....
Hi Perry, I've not usd one but your Winter temperatures may well even be favourable although low.. I used Google and seem your winter temps can get down to 12 degrees Centigrade. In the uk we can seed at those temps and get results, so if you are going to burn it the scarify it why not pop a few seeds down anyway just under the compost, and see how it goes? It will take longer to come through but based on the temps I do feel it will work as long as no crazy heavy rain or frosts
Hi Shaun, another good episode, thanks for the content. I’m looking at transitioning from a Rye dominant lawn to a Bent / Fescue lawn, do you think I should go for it in autumn or wait until next spring?
Hi if you've any shade I'd wait till spring for the best opportunity.. Even though fescue is a little happier in shade at times
Sorry for the loss of your sister. She was
My age and I have allsorts of health problems going on…
With your job does it mean you’re always seeing to relatives lawns etc? Lol x
It's not too bad, I do my parents and auntie/uncles.. Oh and actually yes I do my uncles brothers 😂. Hope you get some improvement in health soon
Hey Shaun,
Sorry for your loss!
Ive overseeded about 2-3 weeks ago, is it okay to put some A1 Lawn Ultimate Spring Summer Lawn Fertiliser [10-4-4+3fe] down? Or is it too soon?
Hi there's a spot of iron in that mix.. I'd give it another couple of weeks.. If the lawn looks healthy then go for it 😊
Day 7 since scorching my yard with roundup concrete. It is starting to brown and dry out now, but a quick second spray over again. Plan is it scarify in 2-3 weeks and then get to work.
Is it too late in the year to start all of this and putting together a new lawn?
If I'm honest you're gonna be seeding into summer and it needs a lot more water.. Potentially 6 times a day if it gets much hotter.. Then 2 or 3 times a week deeply without fail through summer... It's doable but just harder.. For me mid may is my cutoff however I do have one more lawn to seed myself 😊
Do you have any recommendations for good lawns being burnt by dog pee? My Labrador Lola loved to burn the lawn with her pee! I’ve constantly used those ‘rocks’ and I swear at times they work. I also try to dilute her pee when she does wee with the hose but of course can’t watch her all the time. Just didn’t know if there’s any good products to help recover burnt patches as they’re constant so wanted something simple as I’m only 30 but have serious cardiac issues.
Hi you can try a bit of ketchup in with their dinner.. But like the rocks they seem or work for some dogs but not all.. Other than that grow grass in plant pots and us ethos to dig out and replace any bunrt spots on the lawn.. Dig down and remove a good few inches
46 nitrogen and an extra 10 from the A1 Fert. Geez Shaun. You'll be cutting that hourly. Never mind every few days 😂 On a separate note. Do you ever use humic acid? It's something I apply every month.
🤣🤣. I like to live life on the edge 🤣 yeah have done and do
Wont the weedol stop any of the patches thickening or not work right if overseeding the thin bits?
Hi yeah, if you're doing any seed work you do need to give it a good 6 weeks or more before weedspraying.. If you've only seeded a few patches just go around them with the weedkiller
I honestly don't think that cutting poa short makes any difference to it!!!!!!
Hi Shaun, what professional weed killer are you using? I’ve looked at the broad leaf weed killers on A1 Lawn. Can you apply the fertiliser and broadleaf weed killer together ?
Hi yes you can apply both at the same time. I always apply Fertiliser then spray the weedkiller on all my customer lawns
@@LawnRight thanks Shaun, for taking the time to reply. I really enjoy your videos and you’ve got a soothing voice. My thoughts are with you and your family. What weed killers would you recommend ? I have a trade account with A1Lawn. Have you used their seaweed liquid, if so what are your thoughts on it?
Get a cat, they'll keep the squirrels and birds at bay.
Don't think the wife's keen on a cat 🙀🙀🙀😁😁😁
@LawnRight well unless the wife is willing to stand outside scaring off birds and squirrels the cat option seems more useful and probably cheaper too.
@@Thimeri0n 🤣🤣
Your lawn will be lovely again!
FIRST
😊👍
try a shot gun bro
Tempting!
Shaun, I wish you'd dig up those two shrubs at the top of you garden.
It would be so much easier to mow the lawn!
I'm working on it 😣😥. May we'll take em out later in the year
@@LawnRight Excellent, then we get a full view of your hard work.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of your Sister Shaun. 53 is far too soon. The Sunflowers are a lovely idea 🌻🌻🌻
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for making them.
Thanks 🙏
Hi mate. I'm just about to over seed my lawn. I have a miracle grow hand feeder like yours. What number setting should I have it on to use it for seeds? Cheers
Hi I usually have it on setting 5 and often need to go over twice or walk slowly
Okay. Thanks bud
Keep the hedge, mine was similar, 4 years later its looking pristine and I'm glad I did not get a fence.
Potentially I might keep the shrubs/hedge and put the fence in behind.. But some of them have grown along the fence line so we would need to dig some out
I've just got that a1 fertilizer how many times can you use it a year thanks
I'm not home right now but at a guess 2 or 3.. It may say application rate on the label somewhere
Thanks
