Fixing bare spots with lawncare asmr. #LawnRenovation

My Takeaways: Using Toilet Paper and grass seed mixed together worked. But, it didn’t work any better (probably not quite as good actually) than working the dirt up and working the grass seed into the soil. For my fall overseed that turned out REALLY well, I used a slit seeder. A slit seeder makes little cuts in the dirt as it is dropping the seed so the seed gets great soil contact. What I’m saying is, I don’t think I will use toilet paper in my lawn renovations from here on out. So, for now, my favorite strategy for seeding new grass is to use a slit seeder (or a soil cultivator if it is a small area that doesn’t justify renting a slit seeder) then water the seed 3-4 times a day to keep it wet until it germinates. Then slowly taper off watering. Let me know if you find long descriptions like this helpful! #LawnRenovation

Who knew it was illegal? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #screwdrivertest

I Legally can’t tell you why it’s more important than it has ever been for me to fill in these bare spots. Yes, literally legally. But here’s the run down for anybody wanting to learn more about how to take care of a lawn or doing a lawn renovation. On the first spot, I plugged good grass into this area that is dead. With Bermudagrass, no seed is needed. The grass will spread and fill in bare spots. I want these spots filled PRONTO so I plugged to fill it in immediately. On the second bare area in my lawn, I used grass that was growing into my sand trap. This area stays super wet so the transplanted grass should do well and look pretty natural in just a couple of weeks! #LawnRenovation
