Rabbits, birds and worms supply all the materials and labor for my natural lawn. I just mow and get out of the way…
Hey, Joe. Looks like you're suffering from the same arthritis I have. The knees and the back. So if you can get out there and do it so can I. You are an inspiration to me. I haven't seen top dressing with regular black dirt. Most of what I've seen uses peat moss, but I'm not sure how that would really benefit the soil. Thanks for the video to get me straight I really appreciate it, Joe.
I put grass seed down before top dressing.
