16:33 "I'll show you where the toilet is, but I won't wipe your backside for you!" Haha 🙂 Another great educational video, thanks for sharing your expertise Dan 👍
I have got 20kg sack of mm50 and 34 bags of 50l bathgate compost (got it based on allett video - seems similar to field no 4) coming next week. I have old mossy lawn with a lot of thatch. I have bought the same rake and a scarifier from lidl. wish me luck, got just over 300 sqm front and back!
Brilliant Daniel. Just working my way through your great videos. I notice that you usually do the 3 Ss when you are reviving the lawns (scalp, scarify and seed) and then soil over and apply wetting agent but in this video you cover the back lawn with the fleece so my question is why do you cover with the fleece in this video?
Nicely times tip that Dan as I've got a lawn to do on Thursday . I've scalped it with scarifier already . Got 7 bags compost and bag seed ready . I was going to walk it Inn after applying lol .... I won't now I'll leave light on top and work backwards
Hi Dan, The fleece you use, why have you only used it on the rear garden? Is it to prevent birds from eating the seeds or just protection against cold weather? Thanks in advance
Pitchcare do good sprayers...I've got a Cooper pegler CP8 was around £70 a few years ago,has a nice fan spray...miles better than your £15 ones from the garden centres.
Very tidy piece of lawncare . Small is always beautiful . Just a pity I can not source that compost here in N Ireland . Can you recommend anything , I know you have gone off the JM recently , not sure exactly why . We have been deluged with rain and I am postponing my renovation until more favourable weather . Videos are really appreciated .
Dan, I have an electric scarifier, can I confirm to get the grooves like youve made to overseed, I need to use the blade attachment as opposed to the rake like attachment? Also how long would you expect to leave the fleece on for? Thanks!
I'm always bemused at how firm the soil appears to be when you scarify. I know you've discussed the right time before (too soft and water etc) but am I on the right track that where flat (like the front) that its the base material that matters and too much compost (a lot I mean) could make it worse over time. I'm minded on mine to go the 70/30 top dress to chase better drainage as even now the growth is great but the soil albeit sloping is well soft. It never goes Clay hard either. Thoughts?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert looking on Google images and comparing it to my lawn I would say no. However I can’t say with great certainty. I have recently used miracle-gro evergreen complete lawn feed to hopefully get rid of the weeds and moss in the lawn to see the extent of the damage. Am I too far gone to scarify and do what you have done in this video?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert sound! Do you have a preferred grass seed or will any do? I have a business that is an evergreen stockist so just usually pull their products off the shelf lol
Hayters are great mowers,I've got a spirit 41 the model down from the harrier,don't think they make them anymore.Some shops still have a few in so can get them cheap 👍
Bought a new set last year but never got round to using them as had the sterling on loan then by time that had gone back i was happy with how the old blades were cutting but they all rusty now do changed
Hi Dan. Another great video. Any recommendations for top dressing soil apart from the one you are using. I did use jacks magic (old formula) last year, on a budget so wondered if the new formula (less peat) is just as good or any others you would advise on, would any multi-purpose compost do the job? Thanks 😊
Great video. How do I calculate how much compost to buy? The seed you mentioned 50g / m so that's fine, but I'm not sure about the compost. Many thanks.
not related to this video but would you say its warm enough to get some praxys out now? ive got big weed problems and i want to overseed asap and i know you can only use that stuff once a year.
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert ok nice one. i was only really worried because i didnt want to waste my only application in case it didnt work. will crack on 👍
Dan, great video as always. I've just cut and scarified I have a fescue lawn. Quite a few bald spots due to lack of sun. I'm up in north east of Scotland (Dundee). Still to early to seed? Or will I get away with it if I use the fleece?
Hi Dan . Please may I ask. Where would I be able to find a sprayer like that. I know you don’t put links up, but I can only find the cheap type and I’m already on my 2nd.
Great video once again Daniel. This is my next main job to do now , I’m off mid April and going to do it then. I have still got some odd moss patches ( along the edge of the sleepers ) might it be worth pulling them out by hand ? Or will it do no harm if I treat the whole lawn with a inhibit mix. I will be using Field 5 as I want to build a couple of areas.
Hi Danual……Screwfix do a 24” same as you have so would save you a bit of cash! Was the 30% top dress and 70% no4? You mentioned earlier in this vid …Thanks 🤓B
Hat was american golf at trafford centre, boots toolstation, socks matalan, boxers tesco, jacket some workwear thing and trousers was ace safetywear i think,

Coz it gets no sun really so just giving helping hand
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert all understood Dan very many thanks.
Great video, a suggestion about your rake just cut it down an inch each side, try it take a bit more off if it's needed. cheers
Can we all just acknowledge the superb hat please?
American golf special had a your a rasta comment
“I’ve showed you where the toilet is but I’m not going to wipe your backside for you” 😂
😂😂 I was going to comment and ask the scarifier then he said that. Was brilliant
Great video and overseed as usual!! That lawn will look mint in no time, it looked really great coming out of winter!

Aye well done
Nice one, as always.
Thanks again!
Been looking forward to this one 😮
Hi Dan,
The fleece you use, why have you only used it on the rear garden? Is it to prevent birds from eating the seeds or just protection against cold weather? Thanks in advance
Front garden gets alot of sun and was pretty full anyway of grass the back was too threadbare
I did mine the other day
HI. What type of fertilizer do you recommend for lawn seeding? Ammonium sulphide 21-0-0? or other? and in what quantity per square meter?
Top job should give the drive a jet wash would come up a treat
Not my job that peter does it every so often
Toilet/backside 😂 You’re hilarious Dan
True though lots think I’m a link generator
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Do you have a link to cheap bogroll 🤣
@@RogerB-ey1nh asda.com/smartpricebogroll
To be fair most other UA-camrs have their own affiliations to just about everything they use.
Could you explain the difference between scarifying and raking and I want to ocverseed so is raking better to make grooves cheers
Raking is using a rake i would say scarify is machine
For overseeing should I use the bladed figment rather than the spring type fit ent thanks
@@jamesjohnson1099 i do
How high do you set the blades on your mower my experance is the higher the mower is set `the less change of moss
More chance of seeing it you can still get moss with long grass but yes the cushion moss does appear to like short grass
Hey Daniel. How Long do You leave the Fleece on the Lawn???...Thanks Darrell
7-14 days
what number did you use for the drop spreader
Not sure just weighed out what i needed and did multiple passes
How do we use your services for our lawn in Harrow on Hill
You dont , that why i do the vids
Nice to see a lawn nearer to the size of mine. We're not all blessed with big ones. Gives me more of an idea how mine could look 👍🏼
Big lawns are a curse you don’t want one
Where is the top sheet from?
Ebay
Hey Dan another great video. Where did you get the knapsack sprayer? Or recommend a good one thanks again
Pitchcare do good sprayers...I've got a Cooper pegler CP8 was around £70 a few years ago,has a nice fan spray...miles better than your £15 ones from the garden centres.
Its a berthoud valmoral just type in google for best price
what seed to use and where to buy thanks
Very tidy piece of lawncare . Small is always beautiful . Just a pity I can not source that compost here in N Ireland . Can you recommend anything , I know you have gone off the JM recently , not sure exactly why .
We have been deluged with rain and I am postponing my renovation until more favourable weather . Videos are really appreciated .
You will just have to try diff things like i have done
Dan, I have an electric scarifier, can I confirm to get the grooves like youve made to overseed, I need to use the blade attachment as opposed to the rake like attachment?
Also how long would you expect to leave the fleece on for?
Thanks!
Yes you would need blades to do this, prob 10 days this fleeece
I may have missed it, but what is the fleece for? Frost protection?
Bit of everything that warmth moisture birds

Dont forget these new jobs on gritty sandy rootzone so stays really firm when wet and got roots in it,
Hi Dan,
My lawn is really bumpy is places. Last year it was like a bowling green. What’s caused this? And how do I remedy it?
Wormcasts?

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert cheers
Do you have a link or the measurements to that fleece, been looking for something that size?
Its just off ebay from the garden store 2mtr width
Did you get a whole new cassette for the cylinder or just new blades from your man Kev?
Bought a new set last year but never got round to using them as had the sterling on loan then by time that had gone back i was happy with how the old blades were cutting but they all rusty now do changed
Sorry, what was that lawn seed again. I wonder if this would work in Ireland??
All seeds will work this side of the world, it was barenbrug extreme
Barenbrug Sport Extreme Grass Seed. Usually you buy a sack - 20KG.

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert most appreciated, thank you!
Great video. How do I calculate how much compost to buy? The seed you mentioned 50g / m so that's fine, but I'm not sure about the compost. Many thanks.
One bag if using the rake end of the rake will do 8-9 m2 bit if you screed with a straight edge i got 15m2 yesterday per bag

What would that be about ? I dont have a miracle cure unfortunately
Is praxys much better than resolva type weed killer … have you done a weed video can’t see one ..??
Yeah loads of them try the one which has the thumbnail extermininate your weeds early from last jan
