Agreement, somthing i wouldn't have thought of. Nice idea. It would be nice if you could pull this behind a ATV or lawn/garden tractor, but that just means a change to the handel bar system. If your over seeding a lawn mixing grass seed into the moss or compost IE: food last years grass clipping, or composted leaves mix in grass seed and keep yard moisture up the seeds will have a better chance to germinate. Pull behind, my yards not big, but its a lot of hills so walking equipment is a work out I dont need at my age. It used to take me 2 to 3 hours to mow the lawn. With a lawn tractor I can get it done in an hour or less. Its still not that big but the side yard hills are from walk out basment to street leval and they are steep. You can only mow up and down the hill on a tractor I also run snow chains year round for traction. No they do not dammage the lawn other then the tractors weight on the lawn. Aerating the yard helps.
I really do appreciate that you built it in a way that doesn’t require many tools. Whatever the average homeowner doesn’t have could easily be substituted with similar tools or some slight modifications to the design to accommodate.
Thank you! I’m actually editing my next video of my over seed project, and you get to see the moss boss in action! Spoiler alert it works awesome! Thanks for watching!👍🏻
Absolute genius! I'm in NZ and we do not have anything like this readably available so I have been researching and your setup is fantastic. Well done Sir!
First time ever watching one of your videos, so I don't know how often you hear this, but I'm totally diggin that sander. Never seen anything like it, it's awesome lol.
Cool build, thanks for the material list. I did find a Home Depot in Indianapolis that will rent a spreader for about $12 for the day...that way I don't even have to store it! Just a suggestion for those with limited garage space.
Thank you! I saw your reply to another viewers comment earlier and meant to thank you. I’ve been struggling to get more lawn content out this year, but have a ton of shop projects I’m making videos for. Thanks for all the great feedback, and watching. 👍🏻
Awesome I came up with a similar design but I was stuck on a good way to make the door… until now!great idea for using casters to attach the handle as well!
I'm going to be getting a 'Moss Boss' thanks to your great video. Husband making per your video. I asked him and we both , without knowing it found your video and design to be our favorite. Both now subscribed to your channel. Thanks very much from a turf queen.
Awesome build, thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out how to build a trommel to sift compost and dirt without using bike rims like all the other youtube videos. A slight tweak to this design would work excellent! Also, using the caster without the wheel for the axle, brilliant!
Thanks for the feedback, and I’m glad you noticed the caster axle! That was a huge turning point in this project. No pun intended. And thanks for watching!
I did what you did tried to buy one but they are outrageously expensive so I will be using this video and plans to make it thank you for that!!! Great video
Awesome! Yeah I could believe how expense they were! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions when you’re building it. I’d be more than happy to help out! Thanks for watching.
So on the latching side of the door the 3/8” hanger bolts slide in to the slots on the outer pieces of the drum, and on each side there are 3/8” threaded knobs, when the door is closed you spin the knobs tight which secures the door shut. I hope that makes sense. I’m actually working on a full set of build plans for it that will be available after my next video of me using it is published.
Just finished building mine, looks awesome and sturdy just needs a paint job now, too bad I cant post pictures in comments.thank you,you saved me from spending a hundred bucks on a landzie👍
I like the idea. My thoughts. * The door doesn't swing open enough, which will make it harder to load bags of peat moss or compost inside * I would have made mine much bigger and put a lawn mower attachment handle on it * I'm curious how long the pvc and wood will hold up. Great idea!
Those are all great ideas, the door could open wider, but really hasn’t been bad at all, if you had a larger yard a mower attachment would be sweet! My yard isn’t large enough to justify it. The pvc and wood are holding up nicely. there’s always room for improvement though.👍🏻 thanks for watching and commenting.👊🏻
Well, now I'm addicted. I've been looking for a similar solution, but I live in a tiny allotment of land and have been doing it by hand. Still, this is really good.
Heck ya! If you have any questions while building yours don’t hesitate to reach out! My email is brewbuilds2@gmail.com I’d be more than happy to help out in any way I can!
Nice!, I actually made one quite similar to yours last year. I really like the caster adaptation I might borrow that feature for mine. I used old 24inch bike tires, I removed the spokes from the rims and placed the wood cutout between the wheels. it rolls pretty nice with tires on.
Another commenter mentioned the bike rim idea, I like that. I think with the caster axels and your bike rims/tires it would be a home run! Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻
Thanks dude! That’s a sweet prize to have won! I’m usually the guy that wins a couple stickers, and an ice cream cone, nothing that cool! 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
looks fantastic , i just cant figure out your latches .can we see the latches you used ? perhaps a name / model type . i can seem to figure how the door closes securely. it looks boss alright
How is this Moss boss holding up after 1 year? Plywood should react to moist I believe from the lawn/compost? Even though its painted. Even moist from season storage..?
It’s holding up great! Still works and looks like the day I built it. I pretty much only use it to roll out peat moss. it’s not something that gets used everyday so I’m sure that helps, but that was kind of my reason in building one instead of buying one.👍🏻
It worked awesome. The peat moss rollers online have 1/2”x3/4” holes and I used 1/2”x1” because it was the closest to those dimensions. I think smaller would maybe gather a little bit more debris, but I’m not sure if it would flow out as nice. I’m uploading the video of me using it right now so it should be ready to view tonight and that may help you decide as well.👍🏻
@@brewbuilds The Moss boss is brilliant!I watch the video you uploaded, it was great! Keep them coming! I’m hooked! I Just finish wrapping the Moss Boss with 1/2 x 1/2 wire mesh openings. Hopefully it flows as well as yours. i’ll let you know how it works out as soon as I use it. The green lettering you did on it looks amazing! I just finish painting mine black. How did you do the green lettering ? Is it also paint? Or is it a sticker?
Thank you! That’s so cool you built it. Would you mind emailing me some pictures that I could share on my Instagram, and in a TH-cam post? Brewbuilds2@gmail.com As far as the lettering my wife used her silhouette to make a sticker that I used as a stencil to spray paint the name on. I’m really curious how your 1/2”x1/2” mesh works. I think it will work just fine and probably collect a little bit more debris. Thanks again for watching!
@@brewbuilds I just sent you over a couple pictures through the email you sent me. It turned out better than I expected. Thank you for the detail instructions.Couldn’t done it without your video! I painted mine Black with Baby Blue lettering. I’ll send you a small clip of the flow when I drop my seed.
@@adanadisleidyleon7165 Just wondering how you found the 1/2 by 1/2 mesh - did the moss flow well? I'm planning on building one for peat moss and/or compost when overseeding. I'd like to lay down as thin a layer as possible - less than 1/4 inch - so smaller holes may be better. But I'm curious if the 1/2 holes are too small.
Great project. I may have to build this as a winter project. After having used it multiple times now, would you change anything with the door, mesh size, or anything else in general?
Thank you! The only thing I’d consider modifying is making the door larger. It’s not bad how it is, but a little larger would make it a little easier to load the peat moss. The mesh size worked great, I have had a couple people say they used 1/2”x1/2” do to it being all they could find locally, and said that worked great as well.
Great video - this inspired me to make my own. I took some of your ideas (wheel casters, door) and incorporated them into another build video I watched by everydaydad. I didn't have 3/8's all threads laying around and I was trying to value engineer the entire project. The only thing left is deciding what size screen to use - 1" x 1/2" or 1/2" by 1/2". Comments in both videos mentioned using the 1/2 x 1/2. Any advice on that? I'm going threw some of your other videos - you have a real talent for making these, interesting stuff!!
Thanks Larry! My whole mission for building these projects is to inspire others.👍🏻 I believe I used a 1”x3/4” mesh and it worked great. I did have some viewers use 1/2”x1/2” and say it work great as well. I’d imagine the 1/2”x1/2” mesh would help filter more of the larger debris out. I was happy mitt the mesh sized I used. 👍🏻
No problem. And just a heads up if you are going to build it I’m just about to make my build plans available that walk you through it step by step. And give a ton more detail in each step.
Thank you! Yeah totally understandable. I’m always building stuff it’s kinda my thing. I knew I wouldn’t use it frequently enough to justify the cost of buying and figured it would be fun to build. Thanks for watching!
sure wish you lived by me so I could borrow it... and return the favor with a cold six pack.. do not have the room to store this beast but sure looks nice... great job -- wish you were my neighbor.... happy Peating....
Nice build and looks like it'll get the job done. However, after I buy all of the tools (sander, saws, clamps and materials) it would be cheaper to buy one. To your point, I also don't want to store something you're hopefully only going to use once. Why not just rent one for a day from Home Depot or Diamond Equipment for $35 a day. Way cheaper than building or buying one on your own.
There wasn’t one in my area to rent. Buying one of equivalent size is $800. This cost me $150 to build also I enjoy building things so it was a win win for me. I feel like the tools needed to build this are in most home garages if you like making things. I understand some people would rather just buy, or rent. 👍🏻
I see, yeah when I was looking the reputable ones in a size that I wanted were $600. I maybe use it once a year so building one made more sense for me.
I just bought one I was gonna make it out of a old cheaper metal lawn roller. Welensee is som mfg that is now selling these I went there’s had discount code paid $180. It’s nice a bit nicer then “Landzi” and $50-60. I do about 20-25 yards a season tho so I went the all metal mfg one. Another reason I went w welensee brand is offer 100% $$ back guarantee for any issues.. I can’t say as If I remember seeing landzie say that
Yeah buying one is definitely faster. I enjoy building projects just as much as using them so making one for me was part of the fun. I’ll probably only use mine once a season. And between my front and back yard I probably have 4,000sq/ft. So not all that big.
@@brewbuilds gives u a vid to make and seemed to lay the moss down quit well. Def a bit more then the landzie but that’s cause your cylinder is bigger and has more of a “Big Block “ stroke compared to “small block” def a move diy build tho for sure
It was a fun project to build for sure. It laid the peat down really well. I’ve had a few people build it and they used slightly smaller wire cloth and they said it work great. I tried to match a similar size wire cloth as the landzie.
Thank you. At the time it cost me about $150 to build and the landzie’s ranged anywhere from $250-$600 depending on the size. Mine is right in the middle as far as sizing.
good job on the build, but not everyone has the tools you have to build this. I just bought mine, comes in a week, no work, no hassle powdercoated last a lifetime.
You may have a point, either way I enjoy building projects in my shop and showing my process so people that may have a few tools, but maybe aren’t always sure how to execute a particular task get a little guidance to help them get after it . 👍🏻thanks for watching, the feedback, and commenting!
Let's just be honest, if you're that talented, your hourly rate is north of $500.00/ hr. So really, you were just showing off building a $2500.00 fertilizer spreader.
The way you did the handle a used casters as the axle is genius.
Thank you!
I agree I was amazed by that idea i can’t wait to apply this
Agreement, somthing i wouldn't have thought of. Nice idea.
It would be nice if you could pull this behind a ATV or lawn/garden tractor, but that just means a change to the handel bar system.
If your over seeding a lawn mixing grass seed into the moss or compost
IE: food last years grass clipping, or composted leaves mix in grass seed and keep yard moisture up the seeds will have a better chance to germinate.
Pull behind, my yards not big, but its a lot of hills so walking equipment is a work out I dont need at my age.

You can only mow up and down the hill on a tractor I also run snow chains year round for traction.
No they do not dammage the lawn other then the tractors weight on the lawn.
Aerating the yard helps.
I really do appreciate that you built it in a way that doesn’t require many tools. Whatever the average homeowner doesn’t have could easily be substituted with similar tools or some slight modifications to the design to accommodate.
That’s what I was going for.👍🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Ya, me too. Definitely going to remember that trick.

Looks pretty, but I haven't seen it do anything. Should name it kardasian
I used it in my over seeding video. Go check it out.
Looks good I rather pay thou thanks
How much? 👀👀👀😂
My plans are $20
I just bought one I was gonna make it out of a old cheaper metal lawn roller.
Welensee is som mfg that is now selling these I went there’s had discount code paid $180. It’s nice a bit nicer then “Landzi” and $50-60. I do about 20-25 yards a season tho so I went the all metal mfg one. Another reason I went w welensee brand is offer 100% $$ back guarantee for any issues.. I can’t say as If I remember seeing landzie say that
Yeah buying one is definitely faster. I enjoy building projects just as much as using them so making one for me was part of the fun. I’ll probably only use mine once a season. And between my front and back yard I probably have 4,000sq/ft. So not all that big.
@@brewbuilds gives u a vid to make and seemed to lay the moss down quit well. Def a bit more then the landzie but that’s cause your cylinder is bigger and has more of a “Big Block “ stroke compared to “small block” def a move diy build tho for sure
It was a fun project to build for sure. It laid the peat down really well. I’ve had a few people build it and they used slightly smaller wire cloth and they said it work great. I tried to match a similar size wire cloth as the landzie.
Great video but I think it is cheaper to buy it.
Thank you. At the time it cost me about $150 to build and the landzie’s ranged anywhere from $250-$600 depending on the size. Mine is right in the middle as far as sizing.
Bike rims would have been so much easier
That’s a pretty good idea. 👍🏻
Nice I’ll take 10,000 units
I’ll have them shipped right away.😂
Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻
OH! CATCHY NAME.
I thought it had a nice ring to it. 😂
good job on the build, but not everyone has the tools you have to build this. I just bought mine, comes in a week, no work, no hassle powdercoated last a lifetime.
You may have a point, either way I enjoy building projects in my shop and showing my process so people that may have a few tools, but maybe aren’t always sure how to execute a particular task get a little guidance to help them get after it . 👍🏻thanks for watching, the feedback, and commenting!
this looks like it would cost 3x as much as a purchased one.
This cost me $145 the Lanzie brand of similar size was $800. 🤷🏻♂️
So, 2-5 grand in power tools, you can build this and save 400$! Right on! Lol
😂😂just basic power tools…🤷🏻♂️
Cost, 250.00 plus 400.00 in labor.
U don't show how its working:)
I did in the next video when I did my lawn renovation.👍🏻
Let's just be honest, if you're that talented, your hourly rate is north of $500.00/ hr. So really, you were just showing off building a $2500.00 fertilizer spreader.
😂 this is my hobby so I don’t look at it that way. 👍🏻 it’s all about having fun in my shop building something.
DIWHY
Because I needed to spread some peat moss…🤷🏻♂️
Great build video! Thanks for sharing!
You bet, I’m glad you liked it. 👍🏻
