I went outside to see what Jeff was doing this weekend, and once again, he had devised another contraption to make his gardening work easier - and save some money with a creative idea on how to plant lawn seed.
Most of the time when people buy lawn seed, it comes in a very large bag that includes the lawn seed and the peat moss. You can’t easily just pour this on the lawn because it comes out of the bag in clumps; then you have to walk around and break down the clumps. This is also the most expensive way to plant lawn seed.
Others buy the seed and plant lawn seed using one of those hand crank seed spreaders. This is a fairly good way to go but you still need to add the peat because it helps the seed retain moisture and germinate. And again, if you have to pour it out of the bag, it will go onto the lawn in clumps, adding more work to your day.
So, when Jeff decided to plant lawn seed he devised a plan to make it easier, and much cheaper, than the other methods. And, of course, it involved a newly devised garden power tool! Here’s what he did:
He took a drill and attached a paint mixer thingy to it. Then he added peat moss and lawn seed (both purchased separately) into a five gallon bucket. Then he simply mixed the two together with the newly created lawn garden tool!
Now he had a light, fluffy mixture of peat and lawn seed to spread easily and evenly on the lawn.
By purchasing the peat and seed separately, you will save money, and by mixing them together before you plant the lawn seed you will certainly save time!
Mantis Attachments can replace many garden tools. Better than using a shovel.
