I love that little rig you’ve set up to deter seed stealers. Simple and inexpensive. Given me a great idea for my own renovation...thanks for the videos
Hi, thanks for your interest in the video! Yes it was just several lengths of string stretched across the lawn with silver foil trays attached to reflect the light and deter the birds. We still had a few (as you can see on the video) but they only ate a tiny proportion of the seed (I also seeded at 70g per m2 rather than the recommended 50g per m2 to compensate for any lost to the pigeons)
Currently waiting for my lawn to grow, its germinated now, watching this video keeps me going and helps me resist the urge to turf it. Patience is key so I'm told!
Yes just be patient and it will come. Make sure to keep it constantly moist in the early days. I watered twice a day for the first couple of weeks (when there was no rain), then daily for the next few weeks after that
@@chriscooke2678 I didn't put any fertiliser down before I seeded, although I rotavated the whole thing by hand, twice, and added compost. How long should I wait before I feed it? Tia
If you didn’t apply a pre-seeding fertiliser it’s probably best to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks now when the lawn is fully established and you’ve mowed it at least 4 times
On day 13 and mine is starting to come up sporadically (hydroseed on top of 1-3 inches of fresh loam). I know for me (live in the northeast of the US). The weather has been cold. From what my hydroseed guy told me, low ground temps delay germination. We have barely gone over 60 degrees F in the pat 2 weeks with no rain ad a bunch of wind. Or at least this is what I tell myself to fall asleep...LOL. Did yours pop yet?
The first two weeks grass seeds use its own energy/power supply; the seed itself. Humidity is needed to initiate grow process. Keep seeds wet in these first two weeks, as only then they can evolve.
Well that’s looks a lot better than what is currently happening in my front garden. Recently removed the pebbles and under sheet to find the soil was thick with stones. Removed loads but as it rains more get uncovered and we’ve had loads of April frosts which are really slowing growth down. I think it’ll need re seeding it’s very patchy 😆
We must live in the same area. Ugh. The grass is growing quickly but it's sparse. Nightmare soil, rocky, sandy, mountain garbage. Some areas have coal ash that was dumped in the late 19th century considering I find Civil War marbles, glass buttons, hand made nails, old glass bottles, shards of glass. You name it it's there. If I didn't know better and I don't want to, might be a burial cairn too. I'm sure I am mistaken. Lol. I guess I'll be reseeding too. My lawn certainly doesn't look like that in that time span. Somebody is a pro and it's not me.
For all those wondering what seed I used it’s called ‘Superstar Back Lawn’ from The Grass People. I researched a lot before purchasing and found it to give the most hard-wearing, lush and green lawn. You can buy it from Amazon (www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01FFX21DA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B01FFX21DA&linkCode=as2&tag=thecluelessga-21&linkId=a37002d0576fb3c24909c197a50ab379). I purchased the 20kg bag to do around 210 square metres, as I sowed it at 70g per M2 rather than the recommended 50g per M2, which helped to produce a thicker lawn quicker (when used with some growmore fertiliser a few days before sowing the seed). Sowing a bit extra also helped to offset any seed lost to hungry pigeons! 😁
Yes it was a very hot summer (for the UK) back in June 2018 was regularly getting up to near 30°C nearly every day, although it did take a hell of a lot of water from the sprinklers to keep it from drying out! Helped it to grow much quicker than i ever expected
I planted my lawn at the end of September in London. About 15 square meters. I put the pre seeder beforehand and I’ve been watering it for 12 days. All I have are some tiny irregular patches growing in a few places. And I still have big portions of about 2 square meters with nothing on them. What could I be doing wrong?
I sowed some seeds today, and I followed some advice from my grandmother. Over sow when you plant. Her philosophy is " 1 for the wind, 1 for the birds, and 1 for the soil". Maybe the birds got most of your seeds... Maybe you planted the wrong varieties, in the wrong areas. The ones I panted are for shaded areas, and full sun. Another factor could be that the stuff you used with the seeds, might have been too harsh for the seeds, and burnt them. I just put down some organic compost. Hopefully mine grows. PS, ignore the other person that had a negative comment
Nice and level, green, healthy, flowing grass. Sitting on the back porch on a summer’s evening after a day at the pool, no mosquitoes, truly blessed and fortunate. That’s the life, those few seconds make it all worth while. Some day
30 tonne of extra top soil ( how much £ lol ) when did your seeds go down, I did a few area's around my garden where they were once a raised flower beds, seeded on 2nd march ( which i knew was early but hey ho :-) they started to germinate on 19th march and today 9th April, although not really thick, its getting there now the temps have gone up. I have 360m2 front lawn, and with some big oak trees and hedges, you can imagine the moss I have been getting. I scarified it late last fall ( maybe to much ) and it never really recovered because although I reseeded, it was getting very close to winter. I'd love to take it all up but i'll see what come of it this summer before doing an overseed in the fall again. Be happy if it looked half as good as yours. how much water did you put out twice a day after seeding ? sometimes I think i'm over watering
Yeah it was bloody expensive! Paid £130 per 5 tonne load delivered, so £780 in total, and think that was a good price to be honest - I've seen it that much per tonne from some places! Sounds like you've got your work cut out with your front lawn. Mine's about 210 sq metres and that took long enough! Just depends how good your existing soil is underneath i suppose as to whether you need to add fresh topsoil and how much
Not sure of the amount of water but I watered for about an hour each time, twice a day at first then dropping to once a day after about a week (when it was established), then every other day after the first couple of mows
@@chriscooke2678 yeah exactly, seem some places £100 a tonne so great price. Definately need a good top dressing because if I watered if for 1 hour, I could swim on it lol. What date did you put down the seed.
@@tyronwilliams9163 It was the start of June, so quite late to be honest and in the middle of a heatwave so probably part of the reason it grew so fast!
I've been trying to figure out how to keep sand hill cranes, which we love because they eat snakes around our lake, from eating another several hundred dollars of bahia grass seed here in Florida before the grass can get started! Thank you!!!
I would look into air cannons. If used compressed air. All it does is make a noise that scares away birds and other things. Commonly used on farms especially fruit farms
@@umerstar Depends on what part of the state. Lots of climate zones here in AZ. Low desert areas like Phoenix and Tucson yes it’s a waste. Up in the mountain towns it’s easy to grow and thrives as we get more moderate temps and moisture.
Hi, I am currently trying to grow grass i was wondering what you used and how many times you watered the grass. i have a goal of growing it in under a month. anything helps please and thank you
@@MaverickLionheart Not good. Not sure what happened, duff seeds? Maybe too dry and hot when they were put down and not enough water afterwards? I've dug the whole lot up again. I fed the surface earth with seaweed feed and then took it all off and bagged it as top soil in a bulk bag. Today we dug the whole lot over digging more of the top-soil into the clay and then we put sand down with manure, tomato compost as we had a load spare and then bone and fish blood food. Then dug that all over and mixed it and then levelled it. Then put the sived top-soil (previously treated with seaweed food) back on top and then re-seeded with a good quality Rye Grass which generally gets exceptional reviews. This time with it being mid Sept this should be the optimal time for it to grow. Oh yeah we raked it in a bit and watered it. People are saying 7 days and we should see growth, 2 weeks and it'll be lush. Lets see what happens...
@@someblokecalleddave1 how many times are you watering it? Usually on a 70° day you have to water the seeds 3-4 times a day to keep them wet from the sun
Wow that was fantastic. 2 things what is the string going across that looks like bags on?? also what sprinkler did you use to put in the middle as I want to scarify my grass in September but I don't quite know how to turn on sprinkler into two which will make enough water to cover my lawn as it's 49 ft long by 8 foot? Thanks and again what a great video well done 👍🏻👍🏻
@@jonathangodinez304 Central NM, no clay; incredibly sandy and silly. I inspected further and there's more sprouts coming in directly under the soil when I slightly move it away, so I have hope. I also have to remember it's only day 12.
Had it from a place called Acres Green. They do 5 tonne loads delivered within the local area. They're based in Stoke on Trent but not sure how far away they will deliver www.acresgreen.co.uk/
Yes the lawn was sown last year in the summer of 2018, which was much sunnier and dryer than average for the UK, so I needed to use the sprinkler twice a day most days to keep the seed moist
I used a combination of two sprinklers due to the size and shape of the lawn. I used a Hozelock Round Sprinkler Pro 314m² (amzn.to/2UIHv7L) for the main part of the lawn (which I found to cover the largest area, despite being the cheaper of the two) and a Costwise oscillating sprinkler (amzn.to/2uTZOZ9), which covers a rectangular area, to cover the remaining part of the lawn that the round one couldn’t reach
Lol, no I think it was probably either a squirrel or a pigeon. The grass got so long they would flatten it and create a kind of path as they walk through it
Not sure you will see this comment but in case you do - please can you tell me what camera + setup you used? I love timelapse photography and would love to do what you did here (including nightvision shots). Thanks!
@Shaun's Lawn - It's all in my blog at thecluelessgardener.co.uk I’m putting together a prep video covering the process from start to finish but might be a while yet before it's ready. I'll upload it to my channel as soon as it's done if you want to subscribe so you get notified!
We were going through a heatwave when I sowed the seed so I was having to water quite frequently - Twice a day for the first week or so until all the seed had germinated, to make sure the ground never dried out. After that I moved to watering to once a day for the next couple of weeks, then every other day, gradually getting less as the lawn was well established and had had been mown a few times
I used Growmore fertiliser (amzn.to/2PrpOEG) which has an NPK of 7-7-7. I spread it 2 days before sowing the seed and acheived great results (although the general advice is to do it a week before)
The seed is called ‘Superstar Back Lawn’ from The Grass People. I researched a lot before purchasing and found it to give the most hard-wearing, lush and green lawn. You can buy it from Amazon (www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01FFX21DA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B01FFX21DA&linkCode=as2&tag=thecluelessga-21&linkId=a37002d0576fb3c24909c197a50ab379).

@@chriscooke2678 True that on the continent we have both moles and voles, who do the same hills as moles, except a tad smaller. And some years I get anthills on the lawn if I don't mow every few days. Anthills can grow a few dozens centimeters high if I don't mow for a season ! That's on the country side, with fallows, woods and fields around...

Might just be down to the time of year but the views have shot up lately since lockdown began! 😂
All the paint drying videos are over produced.
You KNOW you need to rethink priorities when you are watching a video of a guy’s grass growing.

I’m putting together a prep video covering the process from start to finish but might be a while yet before it's ready. I'll upload it to my channel as soon as it's done if you want to subscribe so you get notified!
Why wont my grass grow?

Use whiskey instead of water. 10 times faster growth
At 1:38 there is a fox
Yes think there are one or two throughout the video you can spot them if you look closely
I've just over seeded my lawn. Can't see any watering in the time lapse. How often do you water please?
Haha you can't see any watering lol there's a sprinkler in the middle of the grass
Jeff Wilson just keep the seed moist, stop watering if seed is running off or puddles are forming
We were going through a heatwave when I sowed the seed so I was having to water quite frequently - Twice a day for the first week or so until all the seed had germinated, to make sure the ground never dried out. After that I moved to watering to once a day for the next couple of weeks, then every other day, gradually getting less as the lawn was well established and had had been mown a few times
Watching grass grow is a saying for something really boring... And here's a video about grass growing 🙈🙈
Isn’t it watching paint dry?
@@chriscooke2678 there's more then one saying 👍👍

Chris Cooke it’s so he can read replys
I see you have them ringdoves also!
did that plastic bottle kind off things work for the birds?? those cuties stole half of my seeds >:(
I never had any problem with birds with seeds and lower plants like strawberries and blueberries. I have two dogs constantly patrolling in my garden.
Those bloody pigeons keep eating the seed!
Where and when?
Staffordshire, England. June 2018
what kind of camera did you use for this ?
1:03 there was an animal? Fox? Coyote?
Looked like a fox
Garden gnome.
Did you use fertilizer? What kind?
I used Growmore fertiliser (amzn.to/2PrpOEG) which has an NPK of 7-7-7. I spread it 2 days before sowing the seed and acheived great results (although the general advice is to do it a week before)
What grass seed and fertiliser did you use
The seed is called ‘Superstar Back Lawn’ from The Grass People. I researched a lot before purchasing and found it to give the most hard-wearing, lush and green lawn. You can buy it from Amazon (www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01FFX21DA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B01FFX21DA&linkCode=as2&tag=thecluelessga-21&linkId=a37002d0576fb3c24909c197a50ab379). I purchased the 20kg bag to do around 210 square metres, as I sowed it at 70g per M2 rather than the recommended 50g per M2, which helped to produce a thicker lawn quicker. I used growmore fertiliser a few days before sowing the seed
@@chriscooke2678 I'd second that 'super star back lawn' I used that to fill a 20m2 moss patch I sorted out in my lawn, come through real nice 👍🏻
@@shaunlucas3810 Yes was really impressed with it
What type of grass is this?
Green
Between Bermuda or Kikuyu. I'm also trying to figure it out
@@michaelyoung6986 bermuda in 8 days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How long before moles and ant hills...
We don't get moles in the UK and although we do have ants, I've never seen an ant hill before
@@chriscooke2678 True that on the continent we have both moles and voles, who do the same hills as moles, except a tad smaller.
And some years I get anthills on the lawn if I don't mow every few days. Anthills can grow a few dozens centimeters high if I don't mow for a season ! That's on the country side, with fallows, woods and fields around...
What kind of grass is that?
I wanna buy the seed
The seed is called ‘Superstar Back Lawn’ from The Grass People.

Sowing a bit extra also helped to offset any seed lost to hungry pigeons! 😁
