I still maintain you are the best lawn care channel out there. No frills, just proper advice, no gimmicks just using what most people already have.

I've found myself buying a scarifier some jacks magic your American green, love it . Enjoying it as well even purchased an edger stainless.. beautiful tool
There was a guy on TV this morning saying don’t feed your lawn it will grow back when it rains. Rubbish I have been treating my lawn and it has survived quite well. Ty Dan😊
Your most succinct and informative video thus far imo, always enjoyed your videos and picked up some valuable info/tips, but sometimes felt I left not having quite the full story (usually re benefits of specific products, ratios etc, amplified by the fact I'm a complete lawn novice). But this one had it all, straight to the point and logically laid out. You have a new subscriber. Thanks 👍
I have been watching all your vids for the last two months.Brilliant.My lawn is sad dry and worn and needs a lot of attention.Hopefully with a lot of Jacks Magic and effort I can bring it back to life.Scarifying has practically scalpt it so its almost like starting from scratch.I have top dressed to level it off as best I can,reseeded (had to do it by hand because spreader just didnt work) and then covered with Jacks Magic.Away now for a fortnights holiday so on my return please dear God show me some grass.
When you refer to scarifying do mean using the tines or the blades? You are without a doubt my go-to lawn site and the first one to show how to deal with this summer's domestic corn fields.
I work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. There seems to be a heatwave every time I go away to work. I’ve come back a few times to find my new lawn looking like that!😩
If I don’t have a scarifier, what’s the best way to scarify the lawn. I’m in Australia and I was thinking of maybe scalping and then raking. Then I was gonna level the ground with some topsoil and then some new seed an seed starter.. My lawn looks like the scorched one that you’ve just done. Although we’re just coming into spring now. Love the show by the way. Scouser abroad lol..
Good but of hollow core aeration would have helped lawn from drying out by getting water to roots and holding moisture for longer instead of running off top surface.
I’ve been getting ready to do a lawn repair & reseed etc but noticed yesterday there’s so much bark that the birds have been throwing on the lawn. I do clear it but a small amount has made its way through the grass and into the thatch. Using bark in the flower beds was such a mistake. I’m now going to switch it for 40mm plum slate instead, which set me back with the lawn repair 😿
Bark is a good option for organic matter and weed supression. The birds are feeding on insects in the beds, deter them and/or take away their food and you won't have issues. Also pull back the bark from the very edge of the lawn and make a small dip - define a clean edge with a spade. Slate won't help your soil.
@@roger4880 yes they are but i also have a membrane down, there are other parts to my garden, like at the front, where its much easier to get under the bark but they seem to pick three spots around the lawn i want to look its best
fab video as always , but alas, there's no way my customers will pay for all those products as well as my time ,😢😢, even though I know and you've prooved that they work a treat , congrats on the 20k mate you deserve it , really informative , and inspirational 👍👍
Great video as ever, I did a similar renovation on my back lawn a week or so ago. I'm sure I avoided using stellar as it said not to use in draughts or something similar. Need to check in the morning.
Another great video 👍🏻 not seen you do one, but would love to see a video scarifying when there are stepping stones in the lawn. Would you pull them up first or go around them. Keep up the good work 👏🏻
Great channel Daniel, been watching for a while now. Can you help me please; What would you have done if the lawn contained a lot of weeds & crab grass please? How and at what stage would you remove those? About to tackle my lawns, and buy/use your products. Many thanks in advance....
We dont get crab grass in this country, im a great advocate of starting again if the lawn is full of weed grasses, but if not poss then you just gotta scarify, scalp and keep the grass in trim n you can get a nice lawn
👏👏👏 Thank you Daniel 👍 fabulous video for us beginners and great to see you give a break down on your products. I’m itching to press that button on my order ( eBay ) but I’m hoping I can wait until autumn punch will be available. I’ve got my scarifier booked in ( a few times ) , I need to put some 70/30 down to help level up a little dip area. But if I put that down before the scarifie , will it just get turned up or would it be ok. It’s getting reseeded to at the same time. I don’t know if il mess thar up if I put the 70/30 down after. The only other though, was asking if they leave me some extra seed and I put that down after I’ve finished. 🤔
After following your guidance this season I’m pleased to say my lawn doesn’t look like that. Very informatively as always. Can you use wetting agent all year round? (Autumn/winter)?
Been following the youtube videos. Always relevant and useful. One thing missing and apologies if I have missed it - what grass seed do you recommend or rather use in the gardens shown in your videos - say this as I have similar use except that I have dogs in the back garden - any advice on fixing dogs pee brown patches on the lawn
Do you still use Jack's Magic, Daniel? I notice the last lot I bought was 'new & improved' verison but appears to be low in peat. Is this still the go to for covering seed?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert What.Dont use Jacks Magic.I have been telling everybody its the stuff to use although I must admit it is a bit clumpy,I thought it might be fairly fine and easy to spread but it isnt.
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Oh bugger.Ive got three bags of the stuff now so I will give it a go and hope that something resembling a lawn will result.It cant be any worsethan what it was.
Hi Daniel. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I recently had an extension done in my garden and the builders have left a mess, there's rubble, sand, concrete, and bare patches on my lawn. How do I repair it mate? I'm a novice gardener and any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Rake up the rubble and concrete first. Mow it low, scarify, re-seed, feed with fertiliser high in phosphorus and cover with compost. We bought an electric scarifier for £120 - cheaper long-term than hiring one. After Daniel's advice I've started scarifying more - a few weeks later the blades start growing upwards plus you get rid of some of the weed grasses that grow sideways. Also don't use the store seed - get a perennial ryegrass seed or fescue if you want a fine-leaf lawn - or a mix which is what I use. Take care and good luck!
Different npk and different added extras and made my diff company but bother very good fertilisers due to ukraine crisis couldnt get the materials to have more of the equilibrium made, as im only small time i only got two tn made prob could of sold 10 but dont have the money to buy 10tn so have to build the business slowly
Hi Daniel, I scarified and put pre seed granular fertiliser down on my lawn last weekend and then it started raining really heavy and has been for the past days, so I haven’t had a chance to overseed. I’m hoping for some dry days at the end of this week where I can get the seed down, but I’m wondering if the pre seed fertiliser I put down last weekend will still be any good, or will it have been washed away by all the heavy rain and will I need to put down more fertiliser? Great channel btw - keep up the good work!
I never use pre seed fertiliser so Not sure why you have , if you want to do pick and mix of lawn channels then your best going to the person whose channel it was that advocated pre seed fert, i have an idea

Doesnt matter either will do
Keep up the good work! Using your tricks my lawn since just has been looking mint!

Dont have any in my lawns for that reason!!

I wish you would return to the garden to see the finished product
I only filmed it yesterday give it chance lol
My products are good but maybe not next day good lol

Hey Wondering
I'm scarifying a old lawn this week and reseeding topdressing.is it ok to topdress with jacks magic now or is it too cold.?
Cutting it fine but still doable
Really enjoying the videos this summer, I'm about to reseed 100m2 of my lawn. What type of grass seed would you recommend? I'm in Ireland. Thanks
Ryegrass if you can get it
What about aeration, how often should that be done?
I dont do aeration
Aw, heck lad; I was hoping you'd advise a broad expanse of concrete, and the sale of the mower.......
👏👏👏 Thank you Daniel 👍 fabulous video for us beginners and great to see you give a break down on your products. I’m itching to press that button on my order ( eBay ) but I’m hoping I can wait until autumn punch will be available.

Can you use wetting agent all year round? (Autumn/winter)?
Yeah all year round as keeps water moving through thus helping stop moss and algae forming
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert interesting thanks
How are you finding the new jacks magic blend? Some bags I get can be great and others are full of what looks like wool/shredded fabric and sticks
Used two bags and that was enough to see it not fit for lawns
How much water have you used please?
Great lawn recovery video, thank you.
8 ltrs there my sprayer does 400mtr per 16 ltr tank so 100 per 4ltrs but i did 8 ltrs and two passes
Great video again keep em coming
Is it too late in the year to over seed my lawn or should I wait till spring.
No perfect time mate
Thanks for the heads up

Shoot the dog first then dig out the patches and re seed 👍🏻
Do you still use Jacks Magic now that it’s peat free?
How much water in total did you put in your spraying tank?
8ltrs
Any idea when the Equinox HD will be back in stock?
Is it not? Will address tomorrow must of sold out
Hi Daniel, how soon after applying a granular fertiliser can you cut lawn again, would a rotary mower hoover up the fertiliser?
Thanks
No you can mowafter a few days
Thanks👍
Has anyone told you before that you like Carl Fogarty? Well to me you do. However I don't know who's got the faster lap time lol

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert OK mate. Thank you.
@@Erectmygreenhouse Thank you very much for you advice.
Also cover with garden fleece - really helps retain moisture and stops the birds stealing your seed!
Daniel, whats the difference here with this fertiliser and the 18-5-15 50% coated?
Different npk and different added extras and made my diff company but bother very good fertilisers due to ukraine crisis couldnt get the materials to have more of the equilibrium made, as im only small time i only got two tn made prob could of sold 10 but dont have the money to buy 10tn so have to build the business slowly
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert OK, so usage is the same, in same scenarios presumably. Thanks.
If by any chance , no rain arrived? Hoe long could you leave it like this before needing to throw the hose over or the sprinkler. 😁
Indefinately no harm will come but if you mow again you will lift the products up
How did you judge how much carrier water you needed?
Nar you would be fine always cut before then that gives you a few days to get it watered in
I know my sprayer does 100mtr in 4 ltrs so did 8 ltrs and two passes
👍

This video aged well!
Daniel in your blurb you say weather rather than whether.
Cannot hear what's being said - especially the chemical names. Too distorted. Show us bottles at least I could see names.
Something wrong with the audio. Distorted.
Good video, sadly ruined by distorted sound.
Shut up
You deserve better sound on your videos
Lawn expert. Do you spend 3 years at university learning about lawns?
I didnt spend one minute anywhere
No dig it up and stone it no more cutting
Shame to use chemicals when there is so many other options..
You make me giggle sometimes. Mention using the most efficient rake, then pick up leaves with your inefficient hands 🤣
Can you upgrade your potato microphone please?
Why do you think its acceptable to leave a comment like that?
Rip it out and sow some real grass, not this sterile, energy and time consuming shit.
