A GARDENING pro has revealed a super simple way to tackle those ugly patches in your lawn ahead of summer – and it’s completely free.
Oliver Joseph took to TikTok to suggest that people sprinkle cut grass over the bald spots to encourage new growth – and there’s a simple way to do this if you’ve got a lawnmower.
Known online as @roamwildwitholiver, the content creator regularly shares gardening tips and tricks as he tries to control his own.
In a new reel, he said: “This gardening hack is so simple and it works perfectly every time.”
During the 49-second video, Oliver is seen removing the grass catcher from his lawnmower, before putting a stick in its place to hold up the lid.
He then goes on to cut his lawn as normal, showing how the grass now fires out the back, over the area he’s just trimmed.

He continued: “What’s the tip I hear you ask? Well…

“Because the back’s open, it allows all the cut grass to distribute evening across the entire lawn.
“This is really good for enhancing grass growth in bald patches, hence why he calls it the ‘hair transplant’.”
