Garden tiller for topsoil electric / petrol

The hand must be skilled, otherwise you get patchy grass =) I would get a spreader (from Gardena or similar) for 30 euros, with which you can both set the dosage well and do a clean job... You can then also use the spreader later for fertilizing the lawn (although I always only use natural fertilizer from Neudorff, for example) or for spreading grit in winter, etc... A garden roller wouldn't be bad either, mine cost 45 euros online... But you can probably also rent one somewhere

I myself borrowed a lawn seeder from a garden landscaper, which was of course absolutely brilliant *g*

Hello,

With all the furrows and so on, it gets too complex for me. I’ll just mill around first, model the whole thing, sow it, and then we’ll see. I’m not fooling myself, there will always be rework to do to have an English lawn in 2025

I didn’t have the English lawn in mind when I answered; I really like life on the lawn. However, there are plants I don’t want in the lawn because I can’t control them if I don’t catch them in the early stage, and I rarely have the time for that. That is also the reason why the old lawn has to go; unfortunately, it’s not even good enough for a meadow ... regardless of what my neighbors think about it

One more stupid question, I don’t want to buy all the equipment, spread grass seed by hand or what’s better??

I did it by hand; but you need a consistent rhythm, otherwise it won’t work. The Gardena ® spreader can help and doesn’t cost a fortune.

Rhenish greetings

In our village, there is a fruit and gardening club that has all the equipment and rents it out for a small fee. Besides, the people usually know their stuff very well and can help you with tips and expertise. Maybe there is a similar point of contact in your area?!

Instead of the waltz, you can also strap some boards to your feet and walk across the floor back and forth.

A neighbor did that. However, their lawn is only about 30 sqm.
