I test 7 different products to cover your seed to find out what is best.

My wife’s watching the Strictly launch show with a glass of wine. I’m sat with a beer watching Robbie smell compost!

[paulr]

Compost and seed ready to go. Just waiting on rain dying down. Cheers Robbie

[kevinwallace]

Robbie, Im saying Lute several times a day in your accent!! I started after watching one of your other videos, but every time im in the garden Im at it again! Brilliant mister!

As always - great advice. A few comments. I found myself clicking on the link rather than liking & commenting (I don't know how that effects the YouTube algorithm ....) but as I'm a fan I'll go back to the previous video & comment and like (to feed the algorithm) but many people wouldn't bother. A hard conundrum to solve. Perhaps links to other related videos are better linked in the description ???
Each year I look at the Landzie Compost Spreader and that's a bit expensive. I don't tend to oversee my entire lawn (I probably should) but instead concentrate on problem patches. In doing so I can manage without. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much & good luck with playing the algorithm lottery & with your excellent affiliate links.

I use dark black organic topsoil from local garden centre the one outside in big pile. It grows everything well. But u have to tap it down a bit after seeding to ensure seed to soil contact then water

[anthonypeirce]

i used levingtons manure for lawn dressing with sand and lightly covered the seed come up a treat everywhere just over week high organic nutrients in this stuff for seed, grass, and soil cheaper than compost plus i got the lanzie spreader very good top dressing piece of kit

Great blog Robbie, topdressd my lawn in an overseed with westland weed free topsoil. Great product but as one of your previous videos stated make sure your supplier stores inside to keep dry. Lawn germinated in under 9 days totally, can't complain!!

[davecornish]

Thanks for trying all those top dressings on this video. Very interesting to see the different results !

[JeffersonHumber]

When I went shopping last weekend I could only find one product that contained peat, it’s getting rare in the south of England

[stephenk]

Great video with all the different composts. I scarified quite heavily and then used Jacks magic { old formula} and just hoping it all comes back. Its a mess at the moment. I used the Landzie. I also like the top soil which you displayed which spreads very well. Jacks magic is very thick so struggled a bit to come out of the Landzie. Thanks Robbie

[mulletthehunter]

I used and enriched topsoil on my lawn but ran out with a few meters left to do so poped out and got some westlands topsoil. It had loads of clay in it, stones, live weeds and is by far the worst area of the lawn in terms of successful seed germination. I've since gone over a few areas which needed a bit more seed with Jack's magic and those areas have turned a very rich green and are thickening up nicely.

Much appreciated Robbie, great test good to know thank you 👍🙏🤝

[becca]

You should try the DIY superstore stuff

[lenamore]

Can top dressing be done by using only topsoil, the reason is for a larger lawn buying bags of compost adds up where as tonne bags of screened topsoil would work out a lot cheaper.

[eoghanmanscier]

Hi Robbie. I am finding your videos very helpfull
Just one question after overseeing if you don’t have one of those rollers what’s the best way to apply your top dressing?

[davidfraser]

Hi Robbie, great video as usual. Would you ever mix your grass seed into the compost and then spread it, rather than putting the compost on top of the seed?

[markrtoffeeman]

Robbie. One thing I don't think was quite covered and which Daniel Hibbert lawn expert, you mentioned here - he advocates Jack's Magic

It contains Seaweed itself in the compost. That you were subsequently adding.

Like you said. The lawn absolutely loves seaweed. Especially germinating seed.

[davel]

Ha Robbie great video but when i saw the title i thought you meant me and my quality tea making!!

[BRIAN-fiub]

Great video Robbie... Would love one of them spreaders but very expensive, was thinking maybe of getting a sheet of mesh similar size to a drag mat and experimenting with dragging sheet with poured bag of compost on it. You reckon it could work?
