What about you! Welcome to Premier Lawns Videos.
Today we're going to be doing some aerating, some scarifying, some over seeding.
I'm going to talk you through the best fertliser to use whenever you're over seeding
for best results. We're going to be working on this small lawn - so stick around . . . .

We make the videos around the questions that you guys asked me so look - just go ahead and SMASH that LIKE button because it really helps me out!
So there's Daniel my helper he's just doing the hollow core aeration so if you think Ive talked about
this in a previous video whenever you put holes down into the ground that's going to give the
seed somewhere safe to grow and the easiest way to explain those little holes act as plant pots, so -
So just to show you some of the cores off this lawn - there's a lot of clay in this
if the camera picks up on that but it's nearly a bit shiny but then I have a thatch
which isn't very much now this is a ryegrass lawn so I wouldn't um expect there to be a lot
of thatch and it's also not very old, that these houses are maybe only up five to ten years so
I'm I wasn't really expecting to find a lot of thatch in the lawn.
Now whenever we're carrying out aeration and then seeding hollow tine aeration is actually considered to be better than just
solid tine aeration for over seeding, the reason being whenever you pull a core out of the garden
whenever you pull a core out of the lawn you're actually disturbing the, you're disturbing the soil
in there in in the hole and it's going to create it's going to create some particles in that hole
sort of more loosely and they're going to help, they're going to help the seeds germinate whenever
we start seeding into them. So there's our thatch - bouncy bouncy - there'sour clay soil, but the roots
are going the whole way down the bottom so that's pretty good. So let's get on with the scarifying now.
All right guys so at the moment Daniel's just doing the scarifying as this is just a this is
just a maintenance scarify that we're doing today it has been really dry this year but there's not
a lot of thatch as you can see in the lawn so we're just going over it quickly to a quick pass over it
and then we're going to get this tidied up and we'll start with the seeding.
Let's have a look and have a look at this debris that's come out of the lawn right so usual
affair, it's very grassy not, not not a lot of moss in this lawn, more just more just grass and
dead grass and a bit of thatch, so this is really going to let the lawn breathe and then whenever
we scarify now that we've scarified we've created the lines in the soil and we'll put their little
holes in the ground from the aeration and that's all going to let the new seeds germinate so that's
going to really thicken up the lawn so we'll get this lifted and then we're going to do the seeding.
So today we're over seeding with my old favorite the rye and the fescue the perennial rye grass and
the fescue so really good although there's no shade in this garden a really good reason
for mixing the grass seeds is you're creating some disease resistance because you're putting
different cultivars into the lawn you're going to make your lawn stronger so this stuff here is a
really good grass seed I'll put an Affiliated Link down below for where you can pick this stuff up.
All right guys so we now have the seeding down. Now we're going to get the drag mat
in and drag it in it's really important whenever you seed that you want to get good contact with
the seed and the soil and the drag mat actually pulls the seed down into those lines from the
scarifying down and down into the holes so that's what we're going to do now.
Right guys - so today we're going to be using this Caviar. Now the reason why you use it
for over seeding it's really high in fulvic and humic acid and it provides the building blocks for
whenever you see the new growth. I've done videos about it in the past. If you have any questions
leave me a Comment down below and i'll try and answer them the best I can.
Now there is an Affiliated Link for this if you want to buy
this product there's 10 percent off I'll leave the Discount Code in the, in the Video Description.
All right guys - so Daniel's just onto the final step here
he's putting some of this here stuff on the CMS Shoot. Now this is made out
of molasses. Molasses is the same thing that they use to make rum out of now I wouldn't
I wouldn't be drinking this stuff my Saturday night - but really good for the lawns. Again, there's
an Affiliated Link there, with ten percent off
if you want to give this stuff a go on your own lawn.
