RASEN RESET BIO: 100% ORGANISCH und NACHHALTIG düngen! Drückt der RASENFREAK jetzt den ROTEN KNOPF?

Today dear lawn freaks is a day to remember. Does the Rasenfreak press the red button? My lawn really doesn’t look bad in the videos. But I’ve now heard two dramatic statements independently of each other. Once from a real gardening expert. We had a visit from a real gardening expert. And he took a close look at my soil, not my lawn, the soil. And he said: Andreas your soil is dead. Uhhh, what is that now? Then he measured my pH value, which was surprisingly not as low as I thought, between 6 and 6.5.

01:00 - And he has a simple method that is a conductivity method that measures the electrical conductivity of the soil. And then he said 0.5 would be okay, just as a value, and my soil was 0.05. And 0.05 means there are no more nutrients in the soil at all. I fertilized for the last time at the beginning of September. Now it’s November 8th. September… October… 2 months… about two months, and there is nothing left in my soil, the nutrient is completely gone. So I said: It can’t be 😳. That can not be real.

01:46 - Then I drove to our Raiffeisenmarkt and took a bag of topsoil with me , here straight from my golf hole. And then I said, dear Raiffeisenmarkt please test my pH value. Then he tested my pH. Then he came back and said: Your pH is between 6 and 6.5. That is interesting! And he said that because of the sandy soil, the pH should be between 5.4 and 6.0. And then he said we measured the conductivity of your soil again. There are no nutrients in your soil. Zero, there is nothing left.

02:28 - Yes, dear lawn freaks, and then we talked for a very, very long time, for 4 hours, about an alternative nutrient supply for beautiful lawns. There are these two camps, and I have always brought them up. Once this camp we fertilize minerally, i.e. pure chemistry, and then there is the camp we fertilize organically. I’ve always used mineral fertilizers because I found it easy because I’ve read it in a lot of magazines. Of course, the big manufacturers advertise Compo and whatever they are called, of course also advertise this mineral fertilization. You can work very specifically with that.

03:13 - But that has nothing to do with organic, nature, sustainability. On the other hand, there are the organic fertilizers, which of course I knew. Wherever I’ve heard they don’t work right. You don’t see any real success there. Now I’ve talked to this gardener and he actually motivated me to press the reset button. Now really to describe a completely new way. And we will do that! We’ll be doing everything new here next year. We will no longer fertilize with minerals. I’m promising something incredible here. We will completely switch to organic fertilizer, to bio- fertilization. We’re starting here in autumn with a soil activator to finally get soil life into my lawn. So that more happens here, so that the microorganisms can also convert my lawn clippings better. I also want to mulch more again. Because the gardener said, whatever I heard and thought differently, that when the microorganisms are active here, when the soil life works, that the felt and the grass clippings are really converted into nutrients and made available to the plants. Then we will fertilize organically here.

And we really start hard at the beginning, now in autumn. We will now sprinkle 200 g / m² of soil activator here. We will then, a few days later, we will sprinkle the Oscorna lawn fertilizer granulated, 70 g / m². We’ll spread it all on now. That is the fertilizer. Because… 100% natural raw materials. Rasaflora lawn fertilizer granulated. So this should also be a fertilizer that is especially suitable for short-cut lawns, i.e. for sports field lawns. Smells! What’s it got here? It has 8% nitrogen, 4% phosphorus, 5% potassium and 65% organic substances.

05:45 - That should be perfectly fine, says this expert. Because the microorganisms must first arise. First they have to grow and develop. Then the microorganisms first have to process and transform all the organic products. And use them to produce usable nutrients for the lawn. It all takes time. I am incredibly excited. Dear community, I don’t know what you think of it. I am really looking forward to your comments.

06:36 - What does the Rasenfreak do? Is this the right way? What experiences do you have with organic and mineral fertilizers. We’re going to hit the reset button here. We’ll just do something different. It always bothered me that this mineral fertilizer only worked so briefly, only briefly and not lastingly. In fact, I should have fertilized a lot more, fertilized a lot more often. Maybe not that great gifts. So that my lawn is supplied with nutrients more evenly, and I didn’t do that either. I think it’s a bit subdued, not such a peek-like nutrient supply, which is now always even, I don’t find it bad either. My lawn is great now. It’s tight. It now has the right grass. The Poa annua is largely gone.

07:29 - I also don’t want to fertilize so much nitrogen anymore. I have already said that the fine grasses need less nitrogen. The Festuca rubra, which I also have in my lawn mix here, needs much less nitrogen than the Pratensis and especially the Poa annua. I think it will be a very courageous and very exciting story. I hope you continue to follow my channel with excitement. That’s why you should subscribe to me again incredibly urgently. And then we’ll get in next year. I’m so excited to see how the lawn will get over the winter. I’m very excited to see how it will accelerate in spring. We really do something different. We must have thought about 3-4 weeks whether we should do this or not. If not now then when! Why not just do something new? I’m always very into experimentation.

08:25 - And that in no way means that mineral fertilization is wrong now, not at all. That works perfectly. But you can also do something different. And now we’re going to move towards more sustainability, more environmental friendliness, more organic. We’re doing organic next year. yeah 😄… 😏… 😳… 🤔 Dear lawn freaks, stay tuned. I look forward to seeing you next year. I hope the lawn gets even better. That looks good! And now you can already see that there is practically no layer of felt here. The soil looks very even. And now let’s take a look at the roots. The roots are very bad 😳. I have practically no reasonable roots at all 😭. Usually there should be fat white roots here. I have very few roots here. You can only see the layers of sand. But I have no proper roots.

10:10 - That is exactly the problem! Dear lawn freaks, I was totally shocked. Because the gardener has already shown me that. That my roots, especially here on the green, are very poorly developed. And that the roots do not go deep into the ground at all. Now I’ve forgotten to smell it, too bad. So if you can still smell the soil, smell the topsoil, it practically smells of nothing. And that is a sign that the ground is no longer alive, that it is dead. A real living topsoil has a really wonderful forest smell. We can test that again in the forest. I’m snapping now… we are standing in the forest 😉. Forest, real forest 🌳 Now we’re going to take a soil sample from the forest with this thing. And I’m so curious whether this forest floor, which has been rotting here since time immemorial, whether this forest floor is completely different from my green. Well, if that even works out… the forest floor stitch… Interesting! Sand and lots of layers of organic waste.

12:15 - Organic substances that have fallen down here over the centuries. Ballistol, it smells like oil. Bullshit, was a joke. Not bad… but interesting down here is the pure sandy soil, typical for our area here. Pure sandy soil and then comes the humus layer, which is also very sandy. Not bad… do we want to do this again somewhere? Looks like grass here, but it’s all moss, beautiful moss. Crazy, a few blades of grass here, but mostly moss. We’re going to stab it again. So freaks, natural forest floor…

13:45 - Amazing how sandy the soil is in our area. Deer well… wonderful Deer a bit stronger than my topsoil now. Was worth a test. But you can tell how sandy this area is. That’s why these pines grow so well here. We just don’t have really fat, rich, nutrient-rich topsoil, but rather very, very strong sandy soil. Now we’re going to snap back to my green. I think I’ll take a soil sample right now because I didn’t smell it the first time. Let’s do that again right afterwards. Snap… we’re back again. Incredible 😁 Beam me up Scotty. So now we’re going back in here. There comes this hard point. It’s really unbelievable. unbelievable That’s the coal. That’s interesting. These black threads will be the humic substances. Well… you can still see roots down there. It smells a little less now but not bad. You can see the very, very small layer of felt here, so there is no layer of felt at all, zero. Here are the old layers of sand. Interesting… there is a fat rock here. I don’t want to break this now. We just wanted to smell it.

15:56 - So let’s hope that through the natural fertilization, through the soil activator and through the organic fertilizer more soil life is now established in my soil in my lawn. And that all of this will be much healthier and much more natural. I am very excited. Thank you for watching. Stay tuned, stay healthy! I look forward to seeing you in the new year. Bye [music] .
