I used my first ever delivery of Field Compost number 4 today doing a lawn renovation on my back lawn. Thank you for introducing me to this compost sir. It’s the best top dressing I’ve ever used! And thank you for the discount link! Will definitely keep with this from now on!
Hi Dan Thanks for your video's really enjoy they! I definitely an NOT a gardener, I can identify a Rose, Daffodil and a Tulip, but something about your video's mad me decide to do our back lawn this weekend it's around 105 square metres so not huge. Yesterday Sat 25th May I scalped the lawn, then Scarified the lawn (got an electric one from Screwfix) and I couldn't believe how much scarification cuttings (?) I got up, filled a whole green wheelie bin that the council collect every two weeks (That bloody heavy I could barely move it 😀!) I had used some No5 to fill a few dips and realised I should have probably bought more (150 litres doesn't go far, but I'll work on that later in the year or next season) Today Sunday, I've seeded, applied the wetting agent, raked on the Dan's Magic and put fleece on it, my question to you is..... how the bloody hell do you do that everyday @cos I'm KNACKERED and don't think I'll be able to move again until next week 🤪🤣🤣😂🤣😄 Keep up the good work love the info you give us (except the football that goes over my head 😂😂)
Good stuff well i dont do it every day but yeah its tiring when i do but used to it as been working manually since i was mid teens, look forward to hearing your success story
Daniel, from the frozen Alberta lands ; I love watching your videos. Like I said before you are more of an artist than a greens keeper. Bloody amazing what you do. I watch and try my best in my advanced years to apply what you do in vain hopes the results will at the very least , be an imitation of your masterpiece
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert still overnight frost , forecast for 20’s this weekend, just hoping for some proper germination. Dormant seeding is the solution here, but never 100%
Do you use the glyphosate version of round up for this? We can't get that stuff here anymore. I think it now uses vinegar, which I'm not sure will be that effective...
Can anyone recommend an alternative to field compost no.5 that you can buy from a shop? I've just used 30 bags of no.5 but just need about 6 more bags but can't organise anyone to recieve a delivery so need a substitute?
i managed to germinate my barenbrug rpr in 5 days, around 20 celcius the entire week with lots of sun and rain. for once the weather forecast was right lol.
Daniel, what is the difference between the two 1ltr bottles of Stellar besides the area it treats. Why 2 treatment areas in the same size bottle? Thanks.
Hi Daniel. Love the channel…been following for a while now. Please can you do a video on how to make good lawn stripes? As in what are you aiming for when moving in lines, eye line etc
Ive done a deep renovation of a lawn that was full of moss and thatch after seeding i have noticed quite a few weeds have started growing through. Can i use a weedkiller on them or will it destroy the new seeds coming through? What weedkiller would you recommend? Thanks 👍🙏
Hey Dan. I heavily scarified and took a load of moss away. Huge bare patch. Reseeded and its looking thin after 4 weeks. Just want to check should I overseed again now or in the autumn due to the newly germinated grass? Cheers
Hi Dan, thanks for another video. I was curious to know how you stop the new seed from broadcasting into the freshly dug border? Wondered whether you might have cut the border, seeded and then dug it out?
Hi Dan, I've just moved into a new build and had all the clay dug out and 16 tons of topsoil brought in. I think I was a bit giddy to get the seed down, now it's coming through and I'm not seeing it with rose tinted glasses I wish I topped it with more of a sandy rootzone to get a smoother finish. If I'm going to try level it some more at the back end of the summer what's the maximum depth of 70/30 I can do or is there a different product I should use? Cheers mate, thanks for all your tips
Yeah when they stroll out thinking theyre already up just gotta roll little old Oxford over. Going to find themselves well matched on the pitch (well for a good 60mins) and in the stands 30k+. Glad we got the green man pub side

Ive ordered some field compost, a seed slotter. What seed is recomended and what other chemicals. i.e. wetting agent etc. Any discount codes for DHLE website? Thanks
Dan, i have a lawn that drains too well really. The turf dries out & burns quicker than most when the weather warms up. Any tips on managing this greatly appreciated.
Hi Dan, because I live in an area with hard water I have a water softener. Are there any issues watering my lawn after scarifying and over seeding using the Field Compost No4 using softened water? Many thanks
My grass under the fleece is turning a bit yellow and sweaty? Any advice welcomed? Should I take the fleece off and let it breathe?? I used perennial rye Scalped scarify overseed top dressed with number 5 then fleeced (so many birds was trying to keep them off) It’s been very wet here but sunny now. Help!?!? Please??!?

Probably a question you get asked alot but.......when would you say is too late in the year to do the lawn renovation work, scarifying, over seeding etc? I'm just in the middle of doing some garden work and when I'm done in a month or 2 my lawn needs the whole lot doing but don't know if I'm too late to be doing all of that

Love your video's Dan - and your positive, common sense attitude 👍
Finally got a 'seed slotter' - used it already. Best hand tool I have now 🙂
Great vid as always Dan. After tonight’s result, you’ve got another Wembley job !!! Good luck buddy.
Great job, good to see the " old faithful " back out.
doff grass seed..3 quid from poundland and it really did the trick...re seeded whole lawn...no expensive tools ...hard work😊

Any thoughts on mulching (just with a standard cordless electric mower), or best use of grass clippings, Daniel?
Daniel, you need a 2ft wall between the lovely lawn and that wilderness!!!
This is my job across three lawns - 600sqm today! Just had my three Weetabix! God knows when I'll finish!!!!

You could do with the EZback handle attachment for your seed slotting tool. It will make life so much easier.
Sunny Bolton... Something I'd think we'd not see till June 😉 😂

Hi Daniel. Love the channel…been following for a while now.
Please can you do a video on how to make good lawn stripes? As in what are you aiming for when moving in lines, eye line etc
Already done it look for the thumbnail from 3 years ago saying something like mow your stripes straight
thats a lovely eight inches you have. also, have you tried using the stirling without the grass rake, i found it doesnt drag at low settings as much.
Does anyone know how often you would use equilibrium on your lawn? Monthly? Etc
Every 6-8 weeks

I tried doing the wetting agent before and after compost but hardly had any left after doing before compost so just added some more water. That okay?
Yeah but your second pass is diluted but something better than nothing
Hi Daniel, do you know what size skip that is? Many thanks
Hi. How long after using weedol for lawns could I overseed the area again.
If its got the fluoxpr in it 4 weeks
Hey Dan.
I heavily scarified and took a load of moss away. Huge bare patch. Reseeded and its looking thin after 4 weeks.

Not sure mate to be honest

Should I take the fleece off and let it breathe??
I used perennial rye
Scalped scarify overseed top dressed with number 5 then fleeced (so many birds was trying to keep them off)
It’s been very wet here but sunny now.
Help!?!? Please??!?
Guess if its yellow then yes you should take off
The cultivator tools on eBay are back in stock folks !
Wish I had known that about roundup travel before spraying the driveway paving. 🤣
And still looking good Daniel, this is the best part of it taking it back to dirt.
Can I have a link for the rake dan please 👍🍀🇮🇪
Screwfix £49.99. I just bought a great 17” rake from B&Q for £26 which you can use as Daniel is here if you don’t need such a large rake.
Whats the ebay detail for the hand held seeding tool😊
In the description
@DanielHibbertLawnExpert sorry buddy. Didnt hear it or know how to open any links. Can you send the link direct
I don’t understand no mow may. Summers in Northern Europe are short. Why waste the best growing month wrecking your lawn?
What’s a wetting agent,thanks
Chemical to help the grass seed germination.
Hello Dan if I ever win the lottery. I fly you over here to Ireland to work your magic on my lawn.
Congrats on reaching the play offs buddy. Enjoy Wembley if you can!

Can do it as late as september if you want obs summer needs more water so could be risky if there a hose pipe ban
