@@PestandLawnGinja, I'm either confused in your statement or what you said in your video. From what you said in the video Landzie sent you both rollers one of theirs and one of their competitors, peak season. In your reply here you said that both units were sent by the manufacturer. Are you saying peak season sent you out that spreader and it came looking like that and damaged as well? (Edited for spelling & clarity)

@timshapleyadventures 2 года назад

Ginja, there’s a better way. Use your seed spreader first to evenly see the yard then roll your peat moss over the top of it. Seed distribution is more even that way. Usually I slice the peat moss bag wide open and use a shovel to break up in the bag and shovel it into the spreader. If you really like that wheel barrow you can mix a little top soil into the peat moss but the key here is to seed first with a seed spreader then roll the moss over the top. This helps keep in moisture, germination, and lastly it hides the seed from birds... good luck

Just rent one for $10 a day. That way you dont have to store or maintain it, and you could rent one 30 times, before you would pay for it outright, that is 15-30 years of overseeding.

Yeah, honestly, the Peak had a better spread to my eyes. The fit and finish was trash, but in terms of throwing down with minimal gaps and lines it seemed like a no contest to me. Either way I'm in the camp of I can't see myself spending a couple to a few hundred on an item I'll use once to twice a year.

@PestandLawnGinja 3 года назад

When it worked it worked great. I agree the overall spread was better. the issues I had, and hard to show on camera, is it didn't filter the debris as well. with that said if there's someone who doesn't mind fixing the unit or maintaining it after every use then it has value.

Hey Ninja, I was in the same predicament, did not want to spend too much money on a peat moth spreader so I bought the cheaper one for $160 plus free shipping. I also noticed the cheap lock that came with it so I ordered a luggage latch from Amazon for $4 and just welded it on and it works fine. Since you only use it a few times a year if that I rather save $200 and get something that is a little rough around the edges and that works. Love your videos, keep up the great job.

@PestandLawnGinja 3 года назад

@scgear3847 3 года назад

Great video; I have a compost spreader and love it. The only issue I have with mixing peat moss and grass seed is you don’t get to roll the seed in. I’m a big proponent of rolling ever since I noticed that spots I stepped on always came in better than spots I didn’t. Rolling peat moss never works out, you want to roll the seed first. I usually water the night before to get the soil soft and moist, use a rake to scuff up the soil that day, spread the seed, spray with tenacity, roll it, and then finialy apply peat moss with a compost spreader. I then spray lightly with a fine mist to lock down peat moss, then water again really well. One last tip, is that you can use a razor to cut the peat moss bales in half. A large bale cut in half loads perfectly in the spreader. No need to shovel it in. It makes it go by much quicker.

@PestandLawnGinja 3 года назад

great feedback! Rolling the seed in is a nice touch. using a spreader first, rolling it, then using the compost spreader will help a ton.

My yard has a very steep hill 25-35 degrees in some areas and this really worked great but was definitely a lot of work. My backyard is also about 16,000Sq Feet. It does not work very well on hills unless you go up the hill so that the roller is as level as possible but otherwise it performed well and saved a lot of raking.

@backpacker3421 3 года назад

I've had the Landzie for a couple seasons now. I usually lightly rake a cross hatch pattern after spreading. That takes care of most of those gaps. The other weakness it has is slopes. You will need to roll directly up or down the slope. If you roll across the slope, the material will fall to the downhill side in the barrel and spread unevenly left to right. All that said, you definitely hit the nail on the head with the latches and the filtering. The Landzie shines with those. I hadn't thought of adding the seed to the top dressing. That's a killer idea. Too late this season, but I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Good demo for both products. Either one would work for me. Makes peat moss a viable option for top dressing. A couple of weeks ago I over-seeded with a medium of vermiculite/composted steer manure (3-1 ratio). Neighbors loved the smell.... Made the mistake of applying it at the beginning of a 90 degree to 100 degree heat wave, but the water holding property of vermiculite worked out well for this case.

i like using a stinger. its pulls cores and drops seed in the same pass. I do like this compost spreader for laying peat, as it saves considerable time vs a bucket full of peat n throwing it out.....all day work.

I'm convinced. Using a compost spreader with a seed/peat moss mixture appears to give a nice, even layer. I would try dragging a piece of chain-link fence afterwards to get it to settle down through the grass blades before watering.

First I used my Sunjoe to de-thatch and scarify my lawn. I used my Landzie to put down compost, then seeded with a broadcast spreader then used the Landzie to apply peat moss. Watered for a couple of weeks and my lawn looks greener and new grass is filling in a few bad spots. Some one asked how to empty the big stuff out, I just lifted the Landzie up over my trash can and opened the door, most if it fell right out, used my had to scoop out the rest. I like your idea of mixing the seed with the peat moss, I’ll try that next spring.

id say the peak won. less gaps and i would want the chucks in my yard. that's extra organic material that would break down over time. i dont like the clamps on either, i use big leather gloves and those latches looked troublesome. Are you not going to mention the size difference. less filling up with the bigger one. you kept hammering the finish, but how many people care they have a perfect finish, it sounded like you just needed something to be better since they gave you stuff. now, do your civic duty and order your own Peak to see if when you buy it, it has a better finish to make sure nothing was rigged.

@PestandLawnGinja 3 года назад

The argument is the sticks in the lawn become a pain in the butt. they always float to the top, causes problems with the mowers as well and getting one in the foot is always a pain.

@elkskiutah8204 3 года назад

I think the test on cement where the gap between the ground and spreader expanded metal is small amplified the lines. On grass it would be less an issue . You didn't show how you emptied the big chunks? The crap compost you can get these days has so much coarse uncompleted crap it makes you worry that the pile didnt get hot enough to kill weed seeds. It seems mixing the seeds in with compost has many problems. Your mixing in such a full wheel barrow surely didnt get a good mix. The seeds can be on top or middle of the compost layer. Peat seems to flow so much with even a slight slope during watering your seeds ate not going to cover very evenly. The seeds on top will dry out so quickly. Best to use hand spreader for the seed which is easy. Then cover with the compost spreader. Your lawn has so many bare spots? You mow your putting green grass so low and not level? My lawns have never needed seeding except in trouble spots. Tell us how planting all this competing grass helps the old grass? I think you need to do a screening test on all the big box products and reveal how poor they are. My home compost never has those fresh looking small wood chips. I think these compost places are mixing in these wood chips in near the end of composting to stretch their products.

@PestandLawnGinja 3 года назад

Hey elkski! Really appreciate the comment. I trashed my back yard from my spring leveling project. I had soo many contractors coming this summer so there wasn't any incentive to fix any of it until after the boarder edgers, trees, landscapers and sprinkler repairs were made. As for the large area in the back that is sparse and bald...... I have mostly shade. The mazama grass seed I'm using is pushing really well. Nothing else will grow there due to the amount of shade. Has nothing to do with mowing low. my front yard is thicker than most peoples and I mow it at .6". As for the compost spreader. Yes I over applied the peat moss in the barrell. shows better for the camera. I spent more time than showed on camera mixing the grass seed in. it mixed really well. shockingly the peat doesn't clump as much as you'd think once you mix it. Once the peat is wet it sticks to the grass seed. People have been doing this method for years because it works. There is a trade off though. Peat inherintly can be a tad acidic. so areas that have lower ph will commonly have to use lime when they do an application of peat and seed. There's also no compost wood chips in peat moss which is a huge benefit. If you're using cheap top soil like I demonstrated, there will be wood chips in most bags. I hate to say it but the miracle grow product in the blue bag was the best. spread soo nicely. If i were to do a 50 50 blend I would use that and the peat moss.

@l9ikjam 3 года назад
