I transformed my lawn and grew green grass in a week – I used a simple TikTok hack but added a couple extra steps
A HOMEOWNER has amazed people after revealing how he filled the bare patches in his lawn in just one week.
Seeing other social media users rave about how it transformed their lawns inspired him to try the hack himself.
There are several reasons why dead patches may appear, including physical damage, fungal diseases, and drought, says the Royal Horticultural Society.
Applying too much weedkiller or fertilizer can also cause an unsightly appearance.
SOIL-UTION
Jason (@jasondub) has over 10,000 followers on TikTok, where he shares home renovations.
He unexpectedly went viral on the app when he made remedying a bare lawn look easy.
He showed himself saturating toilet paper in a bowl containing a thick green liquid as he tried the “grass seed toilet paper trend.”
The home gardener revealed the mixture was a combination of water and grass seed.
He scattered the toilet paper soaked in the liquid over the bare patches on his lawn before adding compost and raking for even distribution.
Jason then sprayed a growth booster over the area and began to water it daily.
After a week, his lawn was full of luscious healthy green grass.
Over 247,000 viewers liked the video and people took to the comment section surprised by how quickly he achieved the impressive results.
Many others raved they had similar success when they tried the hack.
“Now get ready to mow three times a week,” one person said.
“That ish worked great for me and I’m in Arizona [laughing] have a full yard of grass for my tortoise now,” another said.
“I did this with my flower garden and it worked beautifully!” a third added.
“It looks so nice,” another wrote.
GREEN FINGERS
A similar hack had previously gone viral which involved using toilet paper, water, and seeds – but Jason added fertilizer.
