Hey Doc, I've been experimenting with some weak/brown spots on my lawn with this technique. I actually caught this tip in one of your other videos. I just used some cheap top soil and started seeing results within a few days! Just wanted to share my experience!

This is super helpful, thank you. Can this technique be applied to steep hills too?

[adanarceo]

Nah, you're cool Doc don't call yourself that way, anyway thanks for all the good tips about lawn, looking forward for your coming videos, good work 👍👍👍

The very same brand of pitting soil has it changed since you made this video because the bags I see today have a lot of barks and huge chunks in it. Nowhere near as fine as you describe.

Thanks for the great video. Do you water that in?

[bertmcbean]

Your videos are great. Where are you located? I live in Southern Japan, where the weather hot, humid & wet. I have B. grass from seed. You said don't over seed B.G. sod. By "sod" do you mean a lawn started from rolls of sod as opposed to seed? Thank you.

My only question is why you mix all purpose sand in with the top soil. Is it to help hold on moisture?

[jcarrera]

Hey Doc! Love your vids!
Can I use compost instead of potting soil? Is it as good? More expensive? Also, why do you mix it with sand? I didn’t hear on the vid why it needs sand. Thanks in advance!

I see that you aerated those bare areas, do I need to do that as well? Or can I just place the mixture of sand and potting mix on top of those bare spots?

I’m going through the same issue now, bought a brand new house and all I have is bare spots around the house, the further I get from the house, the better it looks. I did the digging method and found all kinds of crap in my yard, and still finding crap. I can’t wait to try this method.

I purchased a new house that the yard was neglected and it’s driving me crazy I applied new Scott’s seed in late spring applied fertilizer 2 weeks ago and ironite and I’m getting some yellow and bare spots I would love to show you some pics and get your opinion

[jamesmoglia]

Doc you did not put down any seed. Do you do that after the potting soil. Thanks Jimbo

Hi there doc - ive scalped a few patches of lawn straight to dirt. Would i need to add seed mix to this combo to get it to come up like yours?

[russell]

Do you add grass seed to your blad spots? How does the grass grow?

[BodyByKymXclusive]

Why didn't you put seeds under the dirt?

[iammt]

you should have a turle pond in your yard

[jayrus]

Hey doc do we need to water this in? I followed your steps 2 days ago and it’s all dried out. Not sure if I should be watering this

[japguz]

Do you the spread grass seed onto the new patches?

[wilito]

Would it works if I just put top soil without the mixing?
