What about you! Welcome to another Pemier Lawns video. Today
this is a lawn . . . .this is actually my own lawn and I scarified it three weeks ago.
ago and thinks he is starting to come back really well. We did the video on it how
to scarify your own lawn. So i'm going to be giving a real quick cut don't want to cut it
too short really, I just want to cut it normal length, started to get it back
down without being too hard on it, without putting the lawn under too much stress
and then if there's any small areas that we think maybe need fixed we'll have a
look at that after we give it a cut - so let's go!
Right guys, welcome back as you can see we've just cut the grass. Lawn looks really
well, I'm pretty happy with it. There's a couple of blemishes here that I'm gonna
show you the best way to get these recovered. So this area here a couple of
different places where we're gonna put, mix up a wee bit of soil and seed and
we'll get these areas repaired. It's a fairly over shaded garden so the seeds
I'm gonna be using for this is a fescue and a rye grass grass mixture, especially for
shaded areas.they'll put the cultivars just onto the screen here.
I get a lot of questions about what's the best material for top dressing, and what I recommend
is a screen topsoil. you're best to use this here, you can pick a bag up from
this three, four, five pounds from an independent local hardware shop. Same as the
grass seed, they'll they'll give you a small amount of grass seed for a couple of
pounds, doesn't cost you too much. For doing lawn repairs this type of thing's perfect
what I recommend is to use screened topsoil. Don't use sand, sand has got no
place in your garden. For most things a lot of people use plastering sand.
Plastering sand's no good because it's sharp and because it's sharp whenever it
compacts, whenever it gets together it compacts down. Builder sand's no good
either. They use builders sand for clay bricks so
it's full of clay! I'm not a big fan of using compost either because compost
whenever it dries out it's hard to get the water back down into it again, and
whenever it gets too much water then it doesn't dry out properly. So if you just
go with screened top soil this stuff's great because there's not too many stones in
it, it's just perfect true for what we use.
I'm just gonna take my grass seed.
I'm just gonna take my grass seed, and I'm gonna throw a handful down into the bottom of the bucket.
Soil in there.
And now I'm going to throw more in there, give it a real good shake around.
So, I want to get the seed right to the bottom
Want to get that right up at the top and mix it well through. Get another handful of grass seed in
there. We'll see. This is creeping red fescue and a rye grass mix.
That's well mixed through. So if you see, that stuff there, there's no stones or anything through it.
because it's been screened.
Let's take a couple of good handfuls in there, give it a tamp down.
