Fall time lawn seeding. You can start around early-late Sept. Our goal here is to take areas of your lawn, that are suffering from thinness, compaction, etc... And get them thick by Early. Come along with me as I show you how to achieve that goal. You can you these on a whole lawn, just consider higher quality tools to complete the job. Here are the tools I used in the vid..

Nice video bro.. I'm gunna steal that pitch fork idea lol... Thanks

One heck of a mustache.

Much thanks for providing the info about the PatchMaster, never saw that product yet until your video.

Jake, some would argue that you are compacting the soil with your fork, especially when you are rocking it back and forth. It would compact your soil less if you wouldn't rock the fork back-n-forth. For your high traffic area where your lawn suffered, it would be preferable if you would "plug aerate" the section. They sell manual foot pluggers, here is a couple of links : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QZ5IMY/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_2 and a push behind aerator wich creates small compaction but is better than a rocking fork : https://www.amazon.com/Agri-Fab-45-0365-16-Inch-Spike-Aerator/dp/B0007VTQRK/ref=lp_3480687011_1_11?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1478072913&sr=1-11

Jake, I believe you are pointing us in the wrong direction calling your rake a thatching rake,I bought myself a real thatching rake this summer, here is the link: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ames-19-Tine-Adjustable-Thatch-Rake-2915100/204476215

Jake, love the video skills you have, you have learnt well.

Jake, what do you use for video editing?

back in the day wen i was young now 59 boy that was easy

Great information, but the music is "just too darn loud".

Hey bud, i have some Propiconazole for you to help with the snow mold you might encounter here soon. You have my number just give me a call or text if you want me to send you a bottle. I'll give it to you at the best price, free :)

What kind of edger do you own?

What did you do with the grass and why?

Couldn't find Patch Master. Can use lightly put down old raked thatch on top of it?

Wiggle it... Wiggle it

good info on reseeding I do think you seeded way to heavy and yes I know "Thrower Down grass seed is cheap" Allyn has great information and knows a great deal, but I don't agree with him on the seeding. all that seed will germinate at roughly the same time and will be completing for the limited water and nutrients in the top 1/4 inch of soil, because it has no root system and as they say only the strong will survive so much will die off in the first few weeks. You will get better results if you seed normally and add Phosphorus lightly after the first cut. then after 3 cuts do another seeding of the area to thicken it up.

Jake do you play golf?

Great job jake!! I have over a half acre of yard, so doing dethatche get and aerator by hand is out of the question..

Great video Jake. Awesome edit and so thorough love it bro!

hey Jake, i subbed to you! Can i get a shoutout??? You are subscribed to me and i was wondering if i could get a shoutout???
