  • Visual aides, come on. Clay is redder or grayer than top soil. Dirt is the brown stuff grass is the green stuff. Summer is before Fall and Winter is before Spring. Water is the wet stuff that comes out of a hose.

  • these videos make no sense without some visual aides. Please!! All videos simply repeat the same thing -- but no practical utility!!

  • @beckmanb72

    LOL

    This was too funny to read

  • @gsdraiss wtf?? she's insane! That would be like $16,000 for a half acre of yard at $20/yd. Plus you'd either have to dig the entire yard down 1 foot, or raise your house 1 foot. No wonder her business went under. She also said "or compost" you don't plant grass on pure compost. You dont use potting soil either afaik. you use topsoil.. jeez potting soil is for pots.

  • its amazing how ALL of eHow's videos don't actually give any valuable, usable information! What the hell??

  • A foot of topsoil over my soil?  What in the bulloks is she talking about?

  • Spread potting soil one foot deep on top of what is there? WRONG. anything placed on top of existig soil needs to be tilled into the soil. Grass will not do anything in the winter like you claim "it has all winter" to get established. But again one foot of potting soil? You have got to be kidding. Have you ever considered the cost?
