For warmer turf people across the pond you should look at CGI turf academy, he is doing amazing content at the moment and as you will probably no, he uses a allett at he’s work yard👍 love this series Austin, not enough content for us people in the UK until now with you and Daniel Hibbert posting regular too👌
A really informative video from a great channel. You give great advice Austin, I am sure the Allett lawn will be beautiful. I’ve ordered a Kensington 20B from Avon garden machinery with a scarifier, I’m seriously thinking of getting a verticutter too. Keep up the great work, Allett should have a royal warrant 👍🏼
Hi Mark, thanks for the feedback. We’re enjoying making these. It’s a nice change from talking about mowers! My best advice, as you would expect, is to always give in to temptation. 😇
Really glad y’all are making this series. I am going to be overseeing my front yard with Monaco Bermuda and renovating my back yard with a different type of Bermuda. I have also been put in charge of taking care of my neighbor’s yard which is centipede, we are in North Carolina USA. At some point I will be purchasing the Kensington 20h because the cartridge system really interest me with multiple purposes of the machine... looking forward to these videos so I can see which cartridge is best for each process!!! Keep up the good work!
Great Jeff. I know so little about these great choices. Educate us, please. We want to know what you plan and what you expect the results to be. Photos, please (sales@allett.co.uk). And Good Luck!!
I’ve used compost to cover my seed after overseeing. I used a 80% ryegrass mix Lm3 seed from pitchcare. I aerated, scarfied, put the seed down and then covered with compost from homebase. I am very impressed with the results and think you will be also.
I love this series and Im a warm season grass (bermuda) guy. I have a liberty 43 and it does a fantastic job. I do wish it weighed a little more for even better striping.
I bought an Allett mower ( A Kensington) only four years ago and I bought all the attachments. Just after then Allett launched the battery range and have admitted design failing of the previous models. The thickness, lack of it, in the bottom blade being one. The heavy and awkward grass box another. I found another with the nuts welded to the side plates used for retaining cartridges were inadequate and the threads stripped. None of this seems to be a worry for Allett. A gesture of simple upgrades, even if customers had to pay would have been nice though.
Hey Paul, I hope you're well! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent purchase. We truly appreciate your business! The Stirling is the first homeowner model we have been able to design from the ground up. Our talented team of engineers had the opportunity to flex their creative muscles and design an innovative and state-of-the-art product with new features that our customers love. Compared to the Kensington (formerly the Atco Balmoral which you have) the Stirling has some amazing features all designed on the back of customer feedback. With a 10 blade cylinder the Stirling is perfect for sports settings and can even cut grass down as low as 3mm with the thinner sports blade. We've also redesigned the grass box with a new mesh bag that many customers are already raving about with it being lighter to empty however we do still have some loyal customers who prefer the old hard grass box design of the Kensington. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with your nuts. This isn't something we typically hear about from our customers. Have you mentioned this to your local dealer or our customer services team? At this time, we won't be making any adaptations to the current mowers already out there, but we do value and take into account customer feedback in the design of new products. The Kensington is the same design as the Balmorals that were released in the 2000s so you would expect brand new products to have better features in 2023. We are always looking for ways to improve our products and will take your feedback on board.
Great - looking forward to the next one already. It would also be interesting to see which seed gives you the most bang for your buck. Does it really make a difference using premier seed over, say that of a garden centre? Once the lawns are established, how about a similar experiment with various fertilisers?
Yes!!! It's all about compost and I use it instead of topsoil unless I'm levelling. I'll tell you what... give Westland Jack's Magic a go, it's sensational.
I’m after liberty 43 but difficult to get Allett in Poland. Reel mowers are getting popular, trending, saw even swardman established own branch too. About the story here, I was surprised glyphosate is still available for use. Thought it has been banned. Cheers
Roundup (guess Monsanto’s) disappeard from malls like castorama/brico/leroy merlin/obi etc here in Poland; it’s been like two-three years already. Btw I do enjoy your channel, cheers
I'd love to do something similar with my bermudagrass in the US. I have tried to get an Allett from the homeowner series but they have been out of stock here.
Hi david have you been on the www.allett-USA.com site? You can pre order if they don't have anything in stock however i think you should be fine! Or give Roland Hall a call at Allett USA +1 (803) 226-5036
Interesting Matty. Let us know how you get on. Photos please. 100% bent has advantages for a low mown lawn. Lots of work to maintain, though. Good luck
Hi All. We are open to this being a customer led trial. Please let us know if theres anything you want us to test / any questions you want answering
Very interesting all we need now is some warm weather!
Much better growth this week! The lawn behind Austin has only really come up the last few days
This is a great series. Getting my yard juices going..

Vertical cutter is amazing
Hi Stephen, can you drop me a line at sales@allett.co.Uk.
Hi Austin - Really enjoying this series & am tempted to purchase an Allett mower.
Hi Mark- Once you have an Allett mower your life will never be the same again 👍🏻
You’ll never look back after purchasing an allett mower

Love this idea, just received my Allett Kensington 20B last week and really interested in how far I can go, so very keen to learn from this series.
excellent. im planning to do mine in the autumn so this process will be invaluable.
Glad to hear! Let us know if you want us to test anything - open to it being customer led

Hey. We are launching P3 tonight where we discuss what seed mix we used in each area.. and you will see our top soil mix is working the best so far
@@AllettMowersRegalHouse superb I’ll watch late on!
Great video 👍🏼
Ironically looking to do a very similar process in Washington state, USA. Hopefully my newly purchased liberty 43 is up to the task. 😎
Thanks for the purchase! Let us know when you are ready for some cartridges.

🌞Let's rock it!!⛳
That would be you - warm season grass :)

We have a plan to do that.. we’ve even tested compost this week as a fertiliser and the grass growth in that strip is amazing
Our next short video on Friday looks at what’s in each tub/ lawn area .. then the next one should be mowing 😬

There have been talks to ban it due to links with cancer but it’s still available in the U.K.

Hi Austin what compost did you use for the seed cover? I've been using Jack's Magic.

David, thanks for the interest. Let us know if you need some help placing an order.
More then happy to trial a Kensington 17h on my blue couch(Bermuda for you Americans) if you're willing to send me one. 👍
Is this the house where Allett Mowers are met and everyone sits round talking about mowers?
my plan is all bent cut superlow..im expecting massive headaches lol
Interesting Matty. Let us know how you get on. Photos please. 100% bent has advantages for a low mown lawn. Lots of work to maintain, though. Good luck
Please bring 21 inch battery powered liberty mower in US.
👍👍👍
Get rid of the thatchy lawn and start again.
All part of the experiment!
its now going to be full of poa by next spring
@@mattyburrows9059 We expect all of the lawns may be- you can't stop it. It's a case of maintaining it and verticutting it out
