@@TheGreenerLawn Did 5 lawns including mine (most of them were standard 5,000 square foot lawns and one was 8,000 square feet). Such a labor savor and profit making machine
At least our grass is green now, but our low temps dropped down into the 20s again and the grass still hasn't been long enough to cut. I filled two 200 gallon compost bins when I went over my grass once at the 10mm setting. I noticed the Robins love the material the power rake pulled out for nests and my yard had a ton of them.
@@TheGreenerLawn Appleton, WI It's about 30 minutes south of Green Bay. It's supposed to stay above 40 from this day on for the next week so hopefully I can get going on things soon.
@@TheGreenerLawn not where I am at. I am far enough away from a lake. The closest body of water is a river that’s a few blocks away. I get a lot of animals passing through my yard at night working their way there. I had no idea until I added a camera to my yard that it was like a wild kingdom at night.
@@TheGreenerLawn We had record high temps this week for the Month of May with highs around 92 and humid. This upcoming week, temps should stay between 70ish for the high and 50ish for the low. So I got the back yard done. I’ll do the front in a couple weeks, but the grass is coming in pretty nice there anyways. This is what I did: -Cut the lawn at 2 inches with a bag on the mower. -dethatched vertically -scarified horizontally -Put out as much compost as I had on the shady areas of the lawn where the moss was. -Seeded with my hand crank used a dense shade mix and a sun and shade mix in the areas with a mixture of sun/shade. -Put down the Scott’s thick R Lawn with a drop spreader. This also has a Sun and Shade mix with fertilizer, but I also have that extra seed in areas that were extra patchy. -Raked the seed into the soil -I have a sprinkler timer so I carefully placed the sprinklers to cover the entire yard and it will water 3 times a day. I hope it works. The lawn is roughed up, but everything that shows sure is green.
@@TheGreenerLawn good so far. Did some filling under the sod to level out some areas in the front, but it's greening up well. I did want to send you an email about a strategy that I'm thinking about weed control
My SunJoe cam with two attachments. Blades and some tines. I didn’t catch what your SunJoe was equipped with. Great looking lawn btw. I need some of those boulders like you have 🤔
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6q-u2agnfLI.html watch at 12:24 I explain both of the cartridges. You will want to user the wire* one, not the solid metal one.
Covered this a million times , here is one of my videos on this:instagram.com/reel/CiuuKxwPmdi/?igshid=Yjc4NjFjZGU= How could ANY OF THIS BLADES THAT ARE 1-3” long be any of the mulch you see in this video I shared?
@@TheGreenerLawn when you leave clippings behind expect to dethatch. Mowers use suction and baffles to lift the grass up as well. I am a landscaper for a living. If you don't bag you need to dethatch. If you bag it won't get this bad.
@@E.L.C. The 1/4” or less blades that are true mulch (seen in the video I shared), when it looses moisture (in an hour or two), will be smaller then 1/8-1/16”, how do they make these 1-3” blades seen in this video? This is a natural process of shedding winter kill grass (this video), or build a thatch layer ( if in the summer, this video is from the winter so it’s a different process) that protects the grasses crowns of its plants for shade, defense mechanism to stress, pest or heat damage or for moisture retention naturally. Thatch is a natural process that grass builds. IF YOU WATCHED THE VIDEO I SENT ABOVE, you will see what TRUE MULCH is suppose to look like, and how to properly mulch. If not, then yes, I digress and say people are leaving dead grass behind, not mulch or thatch, but dead grass that will be hard for the microbes on the soil to break down. Proper mulch will not do this… it is winter kill in this video. ***As a fair warning, I’m going to make an Instagram reel about this, using your comments and screen name, BUT I’ll let you remove this, before i choose to post it. Mind letting me know what company you work for so we can tag them? (And I go like 36 followers on there 😉). I don’t post it to hurt or belittle people, but I want to show the misconceptions companies give my clients, unfortunately without listening to facts, or reason, but tossing blanket statements of “I work for a landscaper”(I hear this all the time and I consult a few landscaping companies around the world 👌🏻). Your response will dictate my next move, not a threat, but maybe you will understand that we are confident on what we teach daily to hundreds of folks around the world.
Scarifier is made to rip grass out, when grass is too thick, making it thinner. People will mis use this… as if your laden too thick and your over seeding (not for disease, pest or heat tolerance) then your cases if the problem even worse. All you need is seed to soil contact for the seed the scarifier gives no added benefit, if you have dethatched good enough.
If your doing it for this technique you can leave it at your current height but go higher setting like 10 (reason i wasn’t to 5 on my second pass , I have it set at 2”) 3” is kinda the max height I think 4” would be this down. So you’re sweet to proceed.
People have used them on st aug with success before. It is really rough on it tho. So you need to weigh the problem vs solution in this instance. Is the thatch enough to kill the grass so you need to address it? Then you need to use a solution, if it’s not causing damage, then maybe now isn’t the right time?
@@TheGreenerLawn it's not causing damage but I see more thatch than grass and its preventing new growth. Or nutrients for my lawn just want better absorption of sun and water should I use it on the highest setting to prevent damaging 🤔
@@TheGreenerLawn Good to hear. I have not purchased yet. Am trying to decide between the 15 and the 13 but I’ve seen vids of the 15 filter vent clogging. With that said I’m still leaning towards the 15.
@@TheGreenerLawn hoping in the next few weeks. Just waiting for the landscaper to get caught up on the Spring cleanups here. Has been behind due to the weather
