I’m the Plant Daddy & can have your lawn lush for summer in 5 steps -it looks terrible at first but trust the process
A GARDENING fan has revealed his five step routine to make your lawn look lush in time for summer.
The man, who called himself the Plant Daddy on social media, shared his tips via a video posted to his TikTok channel.
“It’s that time of the year again. Time to get that lawn summer ready”.
The Plant Daddy revealed that when is lawn is looking worse for wear after a long winter, he transforms it into a green haven, in just a few simple steps.
The first thing that the gardening whizz does is digging up any large weeds out of the grass.
Then, he uses a rake, to drag all of the moss out of the grass.
Plant Daddy said that your lawn will look pretty sparse at this point, but added that this is all part of the process.
Next, the gardener uses a garden fork to aerate the lawn.
Demonstrating this, he said: “You’re basically putting holes into the lawn so it drains better and air and nutrients can get to the grass roots.”
After aerating the area, Plant Daddy takes a bag of grass seed (which you can purchase from Amazon for £6.66) and sprinkles it on the lawn.
“Be generous”, he advised.
Finally, the gardener raked a thin layer of compost over the seed.
Plant Daddy said that he waters his grass daily ( if is doesn’t rain) and said that in four to six weeks time, the lawn will look incredibly lush and healthy.
Sharing a clip of himself relaxing in the sun on his green grass, Plant Daddy said: “Enjoy”.
The gardening fans video, which was posted under the name @plant_daddyuk, has likely proved helpful to many, as it has gone viral, racking up 2.8 million views on the video sharing platform.
Tiktok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on the tips.
One person said: “Have followed this step by step.. and now we wait.
