What about you! Robbie from Premier Lawns Today we're at a customer's house we're
going to be doing some aerating , some scarifying,
some top dressing and overseeding. I havea new toy to show you today,
so stick around!
Right guys - so that's the aerating done on this wee lawn
and it's not very surprising, but as this is a new build,
it's just full of clay, very very little top soil.
which is the usual case these days. We'll go round and see how Daniel's getting on.
Right guys - so that's the aerating done. This garden here -
the soil is probably just as bad as the front.
Yeah let's have a look
A little bit of topsoil maybe, a fraction, and then just straight into the clay.
I'd say most new builds, this is pretty typical of the soil.
Just pure clay, terrible.
I know a lot of you guys want to know we're using Barenbrug seed today
i'm going to put the cultivars on the screen what we're using but this is a
hardwear lawn mixture - so this is our grass seed here.
Let's see childs' play area, slide, you know that is going to be a
well-used lawn for kids so I want something that's
going to be really hard wearing. Now usually I put this on with a
fertiliser spreader but today I'm just going to scatter it out
with my hands like like chicken feed.
Okay so there you can see the seedt out and the scarifying.
I don't know if the camera picks it up but what you find
whenever you scarify and you're overseeding, those wee lines there
the seed goes into those and then they close over,
then whenever you come back the lawn in a couple of weeks whenever the seed
starts to germinate you actually see the seed growing in the
little lines. And as well the plugs so the aerating plugs
as well the aerating plugs the seeds
finds their way in there and it just gives the seed
somewhere safe to germinate.
I saw this on the Ryan Knorr YouTube channel
and once I heard it was coming to the UK I was really wanting to give it a go.
I reached out to GardenImports UK Limited
as these guys are supplyng them here in the UK,
and in the EU, and they sent me this one just for review - just to let you know
I'm getting paid for this review. For anyone that wishes to buy this
there'll be a link in the description with a
ten per cent off discount code.
Right guys, so here we go
Wee protector, spring-loaded claps
that's just the protector there
That's it, good to go so we're going to put the soil in it.
Daniel's just going to pour it in
So the spreader holds 80 litres so that's a let's - hold that bag up there
that's a 30, 35 litre bag of compost so we'll . . . .
So you can see just how amazingly easy that goes on there with
very very little effort.
As I say I'd seen this seen this in the Ryan Knorr Show
then I thought, "God, I'd love to have a go at this!"
We're on to about our fourth bag here and we'll have a look inside, so
you can see some stones and stuff in there
so whatever stones is left they're obviously not going out in your
lawn which is good - it's getting rid of all the crud.
Just empty that straight into your compost heap, or I'll be putting it in
the customer's brown bin.
And I know whenever . . . .
the beauty about using this topsoil, really nice top soil onto the customer's
lawn but I know that there's not going to be
any stones lying on the lawn so whenever the customer goes to cut it,
this grass, he's not going to have all those wee stones just lying all over it
which is really good (oh) because they're all saved in there and
then we're gonna put it in the bin.
You can see, it just puts a nice even tilth the whole way over the lawn.
Must say - really really genuinely impressed with this machine.
The lawn's pretty damp. It has done nothing but rain this week
and we've lost two or three days
work through the rain and this lawn's been pretty damp coming up here.
But putting this on - brilliant.
Daniel, do you think that's a good job?
And is it hard work?
Anybody that hasn't watched my videos before - this is called a drag mat, it's
actually a green keeper's tool - it's a pretty
simple device.
Put that down, it runs over. They are expensive
they are expensive to buy. They are a posh version of a lute, [lawn lute] anybody
that's new to lawn care you get a lute for matting areas in.
If you don't have any of those areas, if you don't have any of those tools
the best thing you want to do is just the back of a rake,
you can just use the back of a rake like this.
The beauty about the rake , there was a bit of a
low area here, we put an extra bit of soil through here because I know
you can see just with the eye that it's low and whenever I pull the rake
backwards and forwards, it's going to help level that area out.
Any areas where the soil is sitting high, because this is long it's going to pull
it off and it's going to pull it into the
low areas. If you had a smaller rake, it's not as good so if you want to do this
and you you don't want to fork out for a lute,
then a big rake like this here is pretty
suitable. So we'll just show you this in action.
So, I had a bit of soil just sitting on the high bit here and I pulled it into the
pile and there's there's a bit of a low
bit in here so just going to use the rake to pull it in.
Simple enough.
We'll get the mat out and we'll have a go with the mat.
We'll put this to the side.
All right guys - so that's the Landzie Spreader
Really good, easy to use , doesn't really - it doesn't take any
training to use at all, we picked it up and used it right away.
Very simple - what you see is what you get. I thought it was really good,
uh, I would buy one myself. My only gripe is, that I'm gonna
have to send this unit back after a review!
Thought it was very good, so look if you want to buy one of these there's a link
