One of the top lawns in the country. I think you could have a bit of brown patch fungus on the bottom part of the new lawn. Were you watering a lot during the warm spell? If it is brown patch it's a bit like red thread. Only affects the leaf not the crowns or roots 👍
Bold call, but I'll take it!!! 😅 Not massively watering, but it had been warm and wet in the north West which may have contributed to the the issue but 24hours on from the application it's look much better
Lawns are looking great as always bud, with the brown patches it’s a bit of a puzzle but that’s the joys of lawncare figuring it and and putting it right. I’ve been eyeing up a lot of greencare products maybe to go along side the stuff I currently use. Finally keep up the graft, great job!
Cheers man. Glad to see you're cutting yours now! Get the height down sooner tho! Yeah, I'm enjoying learning all about this stuff. Maybe I'll do a course in sports turf one day and correct everything I talk about 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub your doing great. I would honestly love to go into the industry in the near future. I’m trying to lower the height in between the not so good weather we are having. Not coming as low as 20mm either though.
I've got a generic liquid seaweed concentrate but it doesnt say how many ml per litre or m2. Any help would be appriciated as I'm new to lawn care thanks.
Hi rich. Any branding on the packet? How much did it cost for how many litres. Without knowing this and the concentrate, it's hard to judge. However, you can't overdose on seaweed like you can with nitrogen or iron.
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub Thanks for the reply, the branding is 'doff' it says 15ml per 4.5L of water which doesnt seem very much at all. We've just hard scarified, overseeded and turfsolved the lawn because of a bad chafer grub infestation so I will apply some seaweed when the seed has established a bit for a boost maybe. It's been very hard work and a lot of learning, just found your channel and subbed so thanks mate.
Thanks for the sub Rich. Have a look at a video I did on seaweed in Feb / March time. I compare the Doff stuff with the 30% I use from Greencare. The Doff is like squash and I have used it but I would use a full bottle across my back lawn on one go as I don't think it's as potent as other stuff.
Ethofumesate used correctly destroys poa, safe on rye, full drench of soil watered in will act as a pre emergant for poa and will weaken existing poa, followed up 14 days later with a spot spray left to sit on leaf. My rye has been pretty much poa free for past couple years
Hi Shaun. Great tip. Had a look at this stuff and it seems to be a pro only herbicide unless you can advise otherwise. If so I'll look to get some to test and see how it performs. Pitchcare have a great write up on it's effectiveness
Here in NZ the latest label use is as I mentioned above, which maybe considered 'off label' use in other countries, not sure, but I soil drench once early-mid spring watered in as a pre-emergant and when the odd poa shows up early-mid summer I use the water in then 14 days later spray leaf method. Plant turns brown, dies, then pull it out. I think usage has changed since pitchcare articles.
Compliments like this from the pros like yourself, Robbie, make me smile!!! Luckily I only have the 3 garden lawns and it's my hobby. You have a few hundred I suspect! It was the same with my dad when I was a young one. He's a bricky, and the work at home was always taking a lot longer as that never paid the bills, customers do! Keep the content coming!!
Lawns looking nice buddy… I know it might be a long shot, and like WTF, but those brown patches, could it be leather jackets munching away… killed 3 this morning (4am) on my lawn, which is about a dozen I’ve found over the last week. Might be worth just really wetting the area and covering it with some heavy black covering overnight and see if there’s any in the morning… works best if it’s hot to sweat them out so to speak. Noticed you walked on those nice white stones after spraying iron… I’m sure your well on it but it can stain… if you do find it does, wheel cleaner that turns red (any brand) will sort it out. Love your channel 👍
@steveg7739 cheers Steve! Hope it's not leatherjackets as this area was dug right up 10 weeks ago, about 6 inches down and replaced with the rootzone. But it could be. Not sure how deep the buggers root, but if they've come up a bit into the sand and now feasting I'll be very annoyed! Not to worry about the limestone. A cheap filler to expand the driveway. I twist the wrist to keep it off as much as poss, but it's chelated so should minimise if not eliminate the possibility of staining. *currently searching Amazon for black tarpaulin, nematodes and flamethrowers 🤣*
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub probably not LJ then as they tend to be nearer the surface maybe 4-6 inches but no expert, just can’t believe I’ve had them this time of year, well about the last month… like they normally do there thing in late August…
Just ordered a bag of that Angus Ultimate fertiliser to try on my customers lawns. I'm currently using a liquid feed on my own lawn just spoon feeding it. Love the channel bud...keep up the great work.
Brilliant - hope you got a discount!! :D I started to use it last year, and loved the results it gave me. That and the spoon feeding with some liquids really helps it along.
Brilliant information. Just wondering I also use the Webb manual but struggling to find information on how to sharpen the cartridge. Any advice would be appreciated 👍
I have bought soluble ammonium sulphate and iron from elixer and was looking at the bumper crop because it has phosphorus and potassium potassium in aswell but I can't work out how many metres squared that 2grams a litre covers ? It doesn't say on their site .
Hello Julie. Just started using this, but I checked on the coverage on my sprayer to see how much one pass will take, and base it on there. The back lawn will use 12 ltrs in 1 pass, so will use 24g of product. Will be looking to apply ever 2 - 4 weeks, but will let the grass dictate this to me as and when it needs it. Hope this helps
Feel like I'm watching Yard brah with the music :D I've got my own liquid treatmeats but been hesistent with the iron on my patio, have you ahd any issues with staining?
Nah, my guy has got better music than my 80s stuff! 🤣. Yes I have, my wife will tell you a story on how I used some excess on the plants, turned them brown along with staining the pots!! Can be removed with brake cleaner (ProKleen do a product called Dragons Blood) and it removes the iron staining.a faff but will come out (and looks cool when it's working!!) If the Iron is Chelated (like this stuff I used (first time I've used it)) it's not supposed to stain. So if you get liquid iron, make sure its chelated to reduce the risk of stains.
@@HeyoAds0 you can always wet the patio area first before spraying iron, will help with any overspray and then a rinse after as well. Also if you do get a stain, I’ve found using a wheel cleaner that turns red (dissolves iron) will definitely help if not get all the stain out. 👍
That's the dragons blood in action! May move away from the Ferrogranual now and use liquids. Bit more money but you can see the darker tracks in the side lawn left to right from the ferrogranual :(
Looking lovely mate, but I feel your pain with the browning areas. It is so disheartening to see it happen. Mine has started browning in some areas also, but I put mine down to mowing it too short and lack of water. So I am going to start mowing at about 35mm now during this time of year, so it is less likely to get heat stressed. We have had so little rain that both my water butts are bone dry, and I have not been watering the lawns, so think that is why mine is browning. Do you water yours regularly? If not, may be why you are getting those brown areas also🤔
I know. I was worried if it's damage from mowing, if it's over feeding, or what. Watering has been OK. 1 per week, but we've had so much rain recently it's had plenty to be fair. Hoping it's not fusarium like Steve says. Need to keep an eye on it over the next week hoping the products help it out.
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub yeah I was also thinking maybe too much feed scorching it. 🤞the products you have put on work and those areas come back lovely dark green. Looking forward to seeing your Mum and dad's update also👍
I hope not. 🤣. If it is, if what I read is right, it's pretty much done for, and needs new seeding. Also, with the autumnal like weather, it's perfect Conditions for it. Will see what happens in a week after this feed. How did you resolve yours?
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub Provonto plus spray from Tesco plus sprinkle a few seeds on the areas .it was only 3.5 weeks after seeding so it filled in 2 weeks later and was all green. There has been dew most morning for the past couple of weeks. I have been watering at 5 am to minimize the water on the grass lol. The signs go once the grass browns. Have a look very early in the morning when dew is on the lawn. It could also be red thread. With red thread you will nice pink areas. Fusarium looks like foam / spiderwebs early on in the mornings when dew is on the lawn.
As I watch I kinda think to myself there is no secret to having a great lawn the key really is applying an awful lot of products as have been applied to these lawns. They do work though but as somebody with a 1000sqm it’s not financially viable to apply to the same level of products unfortunately.
The "secret sauce" used in this video was the bumper crop high nitrogen fertiliser. That 1kg bag which cost about £8.50, will make 2000ltrs of product. I have not seen another product on the market that has this level of nutrients and elements in it, cheaper than this. The main thing is to cut regularly and feed it often. It's the same as anything, if you want something better, it will cost more. Cars, houses, food. Even if you look at fitness. You can go to the gym twice a week and eat what you normally eat and you could be in a better position than some one who dosent. But for the people who want the six pack, wide shoulders, superior muscle definition etc, they train 5 - 7 days a week, they spend money on high end, nutrient rich foods, costly supplements etc. If you have a 1000m² lawn, suspect you have a pretty big house too. Mow it often and feed it and it will look better
@@TheReelMowingMowingClub thanks for that - just check if I’m reading it right, is says approx 5 liters per sqm. Even at 50 sqm that would be 250 liters
Get you Dan getting the comments off the celebs of you tube,gotta say mate its looking fantastic,and so does the house,who was the builder ?look forward to seeing your dads now😊
In the big leagues 🤣🤣🤣. Nice to get recognised by the pros and it means I'm doing something right! Up to Mam and Dads later, hoping to give it a mow. But it's bee pissing down all day so will see. Builder is lovell. House looks ok, but the amount of issues we've had has been horrendous!
@TheReelMowingMowingClub I'm in the game work for a plastering company so see a lot of new builds,to be truly honest with you (and you won't want to hear this)the trades are bloody awful at the moment so quality is bad,trades on price and the big companies like your lovell,persimmon etc are bother about quick turnovers,sod what they look like
💯 agree. Cheapest contractor wins and as soon as the buyer moves in, support is non existent in a lot of cases. Some of the neighbours are even worse than ours to the point it's like we have one of the better houses!
