I do like the idea of justifying a new front loader for grass repair!

I buy the round bales of hay for my cows as if tear it apart seeds fall on the floor of the barn after a few bales i rake it up and scatter it on the bald spots and the grass grows any wastage hay from the cows i run over it with the ride on mixed with the manure and just spread it around it works a treat

Josh, I had several "dead spots" that I dealt with for years and was never happy with the success until I covered it with compost. I compost all of my own leaves, limbs, brush, trimmings, etc. in a massive pile, and don't need to go to the store. After the compost application, the surrounding grass "jumped" in the new area, without the application of any seed. The former dead spots are now some of the most promising parts of the land. It didn't cost me anything but a little labor.

been using my rabbits for bare clay spots. let them manure for a week, broadfork it in and then seed. takes a little longer but saves having to buy compost and straw.

You can go to the waste treatment plants and get bio soil cheap and it grows plants so well it’ll amaze you

Hi, Josh ! When I find a bare spot in my yard, I go to the local flea market and find something to put in that spot. It's fun to shop, and I can usually find something I need to fill the area. Keep up the great information. Sometimes it's even easier than sowing seeds and straw. Thanks. I'll keep watchin' . :)

Great video with great tips. Thanks Mr and Mrs Stoney Ridge for taking the time to film and share.
That yard of yours is already looking sweet, no bare spots will make it 100%.

Rain preparation and good soil go a long ways in having a nice yard

Growing up we would put a little bit of Oats in with the grass seed to help it and then it's just keeping it mode once it comes up if you keep up mode down it will look like grass

Here on the Oregon Coast we have a lot of moss in our lawn chocking out the grass. All I do is spread grass seed very heavy on the moss. I don't kill the moss. I let the grass do that job. If you had a spot or two that didn't grow, reseed heavy again & water.

😆 I have two bare spots I was going to do tomorrow..
Have a great weekend 🌷🌷🌷

Josh, years ago I worked with a guy from Arkansas at a home center, and his accent made manure sound more like "maneer." Someone said that sounded like the stuff the make counter tops with.

I dId this with our football field last year and the results was amazing.

that loader looks like it will save you a lot of time on small projects around the farm

I just did this a week or two ago. Wish I had watched this then for the added tips. 😉
