I ordered via your link. For the plug hole you take the existing lawn, do you just fill in that spot with dirt and let the other healthy grass around it fill in naturally? In the video it looks like you take the bad area plug and put it where you got the healthy area plug. Thanks ahead of time.

I have started "pre grow" the seeds in a wheelbarrow in my garage. Fill it up with a soil/sand mix, 3 hand full "slow growing" seeds. Water it so it's moist and then cover with a piece of cloth, so the water don't evaporates. After a few days you can see the seeds starts to grow and it's time to repair. One wheelbarrow is a about 10 m²

Love the ProPlugger, have had it for about three years and it works great for plugging. I usually pull a plug and drop it in a bucket, then place the ProPlugger back in that hole and pour a cup of rich soil/sand combo back down the tube to fill the hole where I just pulled the plug. It is also great for planting bulbs. Thanks Ryan for sharing.

The Pro plugger is one of my favorite lawn tools. Having cool season KBG it works tremendously to plug in bare spots. Don't forget to water the plugs as you would for laying sod. I ussually throw some peat moss on theplugs to hold in moisture and it recovers super quick. My ultimate favorite use for it is for pulling dandeloins and broad leave weeds, so fun to use.

Fixing dog spots is a regular thing around here. Only thing I would not do is to use the rake to 'work in' the seed. I find that it actually just pushes it away and off of target so once I get the seed onto the ground I just go right in and add 1/4" starter fertilized topsoil and that's it.

Get a square plugger like the yard butler plugger. You get a a lot more coverage vs round(unless of course you warm season guys buy round plugs). Square pluggers for KBG get tons more fill-in area than round. works much better.

I know it's not the right way, but I've done for dog spots is throw down some seed (my yard is fescue) then I throw down a couple hand fulls of pellatized gypsum over it. I don't pull out the old grass, the gypsum takes care of it in a few days, and it neutralizes the soil. It has worked for me but I'm not a perfectionist and I have several dogs, so my backyard is a lost cause anyway!

New to the lawn science. I killed off all of the zoysia in my front yard summer of 19. Tilled the yard up, Raked and removed all the dead crap, added about 7 yds of dirt to make more level, and seeded the crap outta it by Sept,19. Grass came up amazing, neighbors all say it looks like rand new sod. Roughly a month ago I noticed I do have crabgrass growing, I treated the lawn, killed the crabgrass and weeds coming up, did a great job. But I have several yellow spots where it’s dead, this was also after I spread Scott’s weed & feed before I watched this video and realized new seed won’t grow. I still have a few low spots to fix, and was going to try ur overseeding method, but doesn’t look like I can now. Am I just screwed until September?

Also I’m in Missouri, right on the line of the cool grass and buffer zone about 30 mins SW of St. Louis. When I seeded in Sept, I mixed a blend of bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass and spread it pretty evenly, but thick. Came up great, and looked like carpet.

Hey Ryan, if you can get companies to send you some broadcast spreaders I think it would be awesome for you to do reviews on them and pick the top ones that you recommend for performance/price. I'm tired of my scotts mini edgeguard spreader (mainly because I'm tall and it's way too short plus it's on the cheaper side).. I've been looking at the scotts elite but it seems like every spreader is so mixed with reviews (even with the expensive commercial ones). I'm stuck between the scotts elite and earthway 2600a
