Cracking video, really happy I found your channel. I have spent the last three weeks going back to zero in my lawn due to moss, weeds, poa, clover. You name it, it was in there. I have treated what left of the the lawn and what to start seeding and applying the jacks magic. Could I ask, what is the fabric you use to cover the seed bed and how long do you keep it down? Thanks.
Really useful and detailed video. I love the care put into what you do. How long can you keep the fleece covers on for? I seeded with bent / fescue and I'm worried about removing them as animals will dig out the rootzone unless its fully covered. any bare spots look like a toilet to animals. The grass germinated in about 10 days but is still coming up. It's 17 gsm thickness so i'm hoping I can leave it on for 5 weeks until it needs cutting (2-3 inches height). Would that be ok to do?
Hi Dan,thanks for those great videos. i want to ask you something. Becuase of cats digging my newly renovated lawn i decided to use fleece. so when do you leave the fleece? When you see the first sprouts or something else.
Right on cue Dan, there are a couple of patches of field woodrush in one of the lawns at home, so was wondering how i was going to tackle them. Problem solved, thankyou Dan.
Hi Dan , it’s April and I’ve just seeded and put jacks magic over the top and then fleeced. How long do I leave the fleece on for, and, is water supposed to bead on the top? I watered before and after sewing and then I’ve the fleece after fleecing
Good work for sure am wondering what you find wrong with Jacks Magic the new formula and what sort of plastic is that you are putting down and are you soaking that every day please just on top of the plastic and how does it stay on ground as I noticed you did not put any bricks around the edges etc thanks
Dan does it manually by hand as not everyone can afford gardening equipment or have storage space. Therefore shows how it can be done with only basic tools.
@@markjefferson7492 I think it’s just for UA-cam content and I totally agree with what you are saying about time saving because there is one available on a German website at half price compared to Landzie
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert hi i cant remember sorry but i think i saw u using a screened top soil you said not sponsored by them but put a link and now i cant find,i cant get on wiv jacks magic anymore,thank u
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks for replying.we don't seem to have a supplier for field compost in Scotland not to keen on JM now can you recommend a compost, thanks.
@@jimc8811 its deffo available in scotland as a firm took 16 pallets few week ago, but they ship direct from norfolk anyway so you can get it just gotta pay the haulage,
Daniel just got a quote for bulk bag of Field compost +delivery to Ayrshire £160,a bit to expensive for me I can get 16 bags of JM for £80 that I'll have to do.keep up the good work.
Is that a roll of cloth or a sheet of plastic that you put on at the end? Is that for birds and water run-off should it rain heavily? How long is that kept on?
Just wondered was the fleece underlay on one of the projects just to stop worms? Will that not stop the root establishment? I’m just about to do a new lawn from scratch and wondered if it was worth putting a fleece underlay down before the topsoil? I have room for 3 inches of top soil to go down, thanks
Yeah I know that but on one of the other renovations which had bad worm cast Dan put some under the root zone, just wondered how much soil would be needed on top of that?
Yes just for the worms, root depth might be affected but im hoping they will attach to it and grow through , doesnt look like its having a negative affect but deffo cured the worm issue
Hi Dan why don’t you use the compost spreader rolling drum there’s one equivalent to Landzie at half the price on a German website and could you explain a bit more on the fleece blankets that you are using is that for the birds or just to quicken germination
How did u manage to get jacks magic the old formula? How do u rate the field compost u were using recently? I tried some of the new jacks magic recently when overseeding my lawn...it was very different to the old jacks magic
Old jacks still available at various garden centres depends how many pallets they bought, the new jm full of white chippings if it wasnt for that it would be fine, taking covers off field compost in 2 days so will know more then
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert cheers for the reply....been following ur guidance for a while learnt so much....gonna give the glatic green a go...cheers Dan
Hi Daniel. 2 weeks ago I had to dig out and reseed a 4 sq meter patch and looking at this video I don't believe that I put enough seed on it. The grass that has grown is 2 inches high but quite sparse. Should I put down more seed now or wait a bit longer? Thanks.
Great video as always Daniel. Quick question, is it to late to remove my current lawn and lay new one? I started doing what you have done in the video but there is just too much POA/AMG to be patching. I’m better off just taking it up and starting again with the methods and products outlined in your vids. Just wasn’t sure if I’ve missed the boat this year and I’m now best off waiting until next spring? Im based in the North East UK. Keep up the great videos and fantastic products. My current lawn is loving the Steller and GG.
Horticultural fleece mate, I recently had to overseed about 80sq m of my lawn, covered it over in fleece and watered daily, was long enough to cut after just over 3 weeks, bits not under the fleece still not looking too good.
Hi Dan, another spiffing vid. I’m also removing a strip of weed grasses and was wondering what you backfill with once the rogue turf is removed? Many thanks
You can’t get the original Jacks Magic here. I have a few bags of the new with reduced peat. For my lawn I’m going to use fine grade lawn dressing. But I’m not sure when this overseeing job should be done. End of summer? The good bits of my lawn look like the strip Daniel dug out!

Looking forward to these results Dan. Keith has got his garden looking fantastic and of course you too with the lawns.
Dan did all the work hun
Amazing work Dan 👍👍👍

Bernie get ya spade out and get digging
How long do you keep the fleece on roughly? I've covered my lawn with a fleece to protect against pigeons feasting and hopefully speed up germination.
2 weeks usually but that job was a week or 10 days but it was june so was hot
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thanks Dan
Great job!!! What are those covers? Just Tarps? Are they perforated?

Hi Daniel. What seed do you use and where can I buy.
What sand do you use? And where can I pick some up from rather than ordering offline
What day is that aspen fuel due to be delivered Danny boy

Hi Dan , it’s April and I’ve just seeded and put jacks magic over the top and then fleeced. How long do I leave the fleece on for, and, is water supposed to bead on the top? I watered before and after sewing and then I’ve the fleece after fleecing
You need to watch my most recent videos look for the titled do you think im crazy on the thumbnail
Good work for sure am wondering what you find wrong with Jacks Magic the new formula and what sort of plastic is that you are putting down and are you soaking that every day please just on top of the plastic and how does it stay on ground as I noticed you did not put any bricks around the edges etc thanks
Its fleeece so non woven fabric,
The new formula is full of like likestone chippings, im moving to field compost now
do you ever use molasses
How come you don't use the Landzie spreader to put the topdressing on would save a lot of time
Dan does it manually by hand as not everyone can afford gardening equipment or have storage space. Therefore shows how it can be done with only basic tools.

Looks awesome Dan! Do you only keep the covers on for a week? Can they stay on for longer and what is the benefit?
At this time of year yes
do you find the concrete touching at the edges when warm sucks the life out of lawn edges? wood and such edges are cooler less thirsty
Yes as theres hardly any soil due to the haunch at 45 degree angle, concrete seems to get much hotter than natural stone too,
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert yep edges are always a balancing act
Is that a roll of cloth or a sheet of plastic that you put on at the end? Is that for birds and water run-off should it rain heavily? How long is that kept on?
For warmth keeps birds off moisture in

I’m just about to do a new lawn from scratch and wondered if it was worth putting a fleece underlay down before the topsoil? I have room for 3 inches of top soil to go down, thanks
Helps stop birds eating the seeds.

Hi just a seley question is that polythene you put over it all
Its fleece
What's the white cover your putting over the lawn
Fleece
Hi Daniel
Could you tell me what the covers are and where I can buy them please?
Just plant fleece
Hi Dan why don’t you use the compost spreader rolling drum there’s one equivalent to Landzie at half the price on a German website and could you explain a bit more on the fleece blankets that you are using is that for the birds or just to quicken germination

@@peterc55555 your welcome pete
Lovely job as always Dan 🙂Just wondering about watering, what kind of frequency / time are we talking about?
I watered before seeding after seeding then it didnt get watered till yesterday and we have germination so it doesnt need flooding everyday

No its not to late
Im starting a new seed job this coming week
What does he mean when he says, "went over it with the cylinder" is that a posh/expensive lawn mower for extreme bowling green like cuts?
A cylinder is a reel mower. Reel mowing is the absolute best way of mowing.
I’m learning, slowly…
Hey Dan what is that white plastic called that you are putting overseed?
Fleece

No it never has its anchored in so cant
Which seed are you using this year?
Here still johnsons premier pitch, but mainly use barenbrug extreme
Is that sand to level it off?
Top dressing 70/30
Hi Dan, question on wetting agents. I use castile soap as a wetting agent for my neem oil spray on chilli plants. Would it be safe to use on a lawn?
