theres a correct way to dormant seed dont let this be you

Dont let this be you

Make sure when you dormant seed in the fall either december or Febuary make sure the number one thing is you make sure you prepare the seed bed right first and cover it with salt hay or peat moss or else you will have a mess like this picture

Another thing i see a lot of errors people make is they dont mulch it with anything when you dormant seed. When you do that it just creates food for the birds ,the stormy weather washes and blows it away then your left with a mess like this in April when everyone elses lawn is thriving so dont let this be you make sure you sow the seed correctly and prepare the seed bed first before you sow the seed.
Soon i will be adding my methods on how to sow seed the correct way. Im sure you all have your methods
maybe your a landscaper and you do things your way or you have something handed down through generations . I get all of that. Tell me the reason why you would want 30 different ways of doing something or just one way to do it right? Its like if you searched for a cheesecake recipe do you really need 400,000 cheesecake recipes? Or just the one that works. So think about that. Also my methods are actually mine they are not methods i stole or rehashed scrapped or spun from the web i will be updating my blog with info and pictures so you can see for yourself. Just make sure you subscribe so you know when i add some more useful info for that lawn envy of yours.

How to sow seed for cool season grass

How to plant grass seed I get this question all the time so i figured id share my expertise on this .The bottom line is nothing will happen unless you prepare the seed bed. I see a lot of people throw seed on the ground and nothing happens and they wonder why! Or they prepare the seed bed then dont cover the seed with soil or add fertilizer or mulch the area you have to do all the steps or else your lawn will look like this after 2 weeks. Notice how only 60% of the grass seed germinated here? its because someone did not prepare the seed bed correctly so always prepare the seed bed so you wont have to water the grass for another 2 weeks then run out and order more grass seed. #1 Prepare the seedbed - Remove any debris-leaves-twigs-weeds-bring in top soil if you need it. Work in some peatmoss and or top soil to your soil with garden rake.Aerate.Throw down some starter fertilizer. it really does not matter if you put the seed down first or starter fertilizer as long as you ha...

The grass is greener on the other side

It is greener on the other side You know that saying! dont you ??? It does hold some truth. Believe it or not but today during the heat wave we are having, I must have seen close to 50 people cutting there grass in the heat ,in the sun close to 90 to 95 degrees. And tomorrow its supposed to be 95 as the high and im sure I will see more people cutting there grass. I know its weird in a way.

Actually you would be doing more harm than good as it would be restricting the grass plants from being able to produce energy to grow.And would turn a your lawn a bit spotty and yellowish brown. So the best thing to do is to cut the lawn at night if rain is in the forecast the next day or just wait a week to 10 days until the heat wave is over. My neighbors want that golf putting green look I do not know wh...
