Fix Your Thin Lawn In ONLY 3-Weeks

You can pick up basic ammonium sulfate in just about any store locally for a great price...and brand hardly matters.

If you'd like to buy online though then the Yard Mastery company has a great hybrid product that combines roughly half ammonium sulphate and half naturally sourced fertilizer called Soil Fit. It will help your lawn perform even better than adding Nitrogen alone because of added micronutrients and biostimulants.

► Or you can find Soil Fit right here:

What’s nice about peat moss is it will tell ya when it needs water as the color changes from dry to wet pretty nicely!!

[augenmaugen]

Bro, you’re providing true value and great information to folks. Keep up the great work.

I have a few patches in my yard that I had to fill from the neighbors letting their dogs pee on my grass. I dethatched with a rake to pull up the dead grass and exposed the soil. I added the seed but I mixed a bag of black cow manure with the peat moss and new growth filled in within about 8 days. I appreciate your video and have been sharing this info with my neighbors.

[Todd.T]

Just did the same. I mowed short, dethatched twice, I think I even used the same peat moss. Warning to those throwing down dry peat moss...stand with the wind to your back unless you want to wear a thin layer of brown and smell like a barn. The great thing about peat moss is it goes lighter brown as it dries letting you know to add water. The established grass is starting to visibly grow faster and it's day three, so the race is on. Mowing short and dethatching has bought me a few days though because it will take a smidge longer before the established grass crowds out the seedlings. I use a leafblower to try to keep the leaves off the lawn as any debris can stunt the growth. Keep your lawn free of sticks, stones and debris people!

Peat moss is great because birds don't like it, so it prevents them from eating the seeds. I have fond memories of finding out the hard way that in not covering the seeds, I inadvertently created a food buffet for them in my front yard.

I didn't think about it thinning out every year. Thanks for the tips!

[greggdarbygregg]

I always aeriated the lawn first in late fall, seed and starter fertilizer after, use Scotts 4 step system for whole year, people were knocking on my door for lawn recipe

[AugustineChad]

Top soil and organic fertilizer never disappoints. Thanks for the informative video

[neeshespieces]

“Even if your lawn looks dead. I promise you there’s a lot of grass in there that’s still alive even if it doesn’t look like it” this will PREACH!

[frankbair]

A simple drum-type non- motorized Peat moss spreader is SO much easier and very cheap to rent. Approx $15/day from Home Depot. Worth it to me!

[kristakat]

Thank you. I’ve been looking for a video to explain the process in detail and you did it!!

[baims]

Rent an aerator if you can surely will not hurt, actually the plugs that get pulled will help take on new seed.

Be sure b4 u seed tho to mow the existing grass on low as this will help the new seed reach all of the dirt and also so the existing grass doesn’t shade the new seeds too much

[hosta]

I put down sta green 18-24-6 on my poor front yard along with some seed in some bare spots today rain in forecast i sure hope it helps make my yard fuller

[frankbair]

A manually pushed drum type Peat moss spreader is SO easy and also takes the place of a lawn roller. Also very inexpensive. It was worth it for me.

[danieltaulbee]

The one change I'd make: Use a starter fertilizer instead of nitrogen only, and apply it a couple days after seeding. The starter fertilizer pushes root growth instead of top growth, and the few day delay will result in giving the new seedlings a few days more of growth before needing to cut.

[benjaminperkin]

burlap is the best way to cover the bare spots that may be in direct sunlight too.its quite inexpensive and you can reuse it for years!

[PrincessCutLawnCare]

cool video brian! wish i had this when i was a noob!

[frank]

I like using the soil conditioner from the grange co-op instead of peatmoss. It doesnt move around when watered.

[MrWkendwarrior]

Besides the previous starter fertilizer change…..I NEVER use a power mower, or tractor…..near new grass seed, or when new seed is ready to mow at 3-3.5”….I use a sharp bladed manual Scott’s (or any brand, new or used) push reel mower.
I found power mowers blow seed around, damage it, yank fragile seedlings out of the soil, or blades if dull leave a jagged cut on young grass blades, possibly making new grass prone to disease. I picked up a lightly used Scott’s reel mower, adjusted and leveled the blade. I usually do minimum 3 mowings of new grass, along w adequate watering, to allow roots to dig deeper, before I use my power mowers.
I have a lg lawn, but became more patient w a reel mower until most of grass seed germinated, usually 20-25% does not germinate.
BTW, recoat w peat moss, light layer of top soil or compost….if first dose of peat moss washes away exposing seed.
Yes, I am a HUGE advocate of ALWAYS using a roller to mitigate peat moss washout…push or tow roller.
Clay soil, or bank run gravel-clay mix soil….NEEDS soil loosened, and mixed w peat, top soil or compost…clay is the worst soil to support new seed germination. Hope this helps! Great video, lots of good techniques….success was very evident.

I like doing a nitrogen blitz Sept thru nov. Spring grass comes alive already a deep green.
