Its a good argument for weeds, but i also like a small patch of clean lawn for looks and bare-footing. I grow many flowering plants around the lawn. For those who argue its depriving wildlife, so is your house, your deck and the streets and sidewalks. Plant flower gardens in andaround the grass and find balance
Your a good man Robbie and your scientific knowledge is way beyond mine regarding the ins and outs of lawn care.
Thanks for passing that knowledge on mate.
🙂🙏👍

@@Premier_lawns_official 😎
This guy.....
What can I say... fantastic video and advice...!
Straight to the point....
Great practical ways, with multiple methods...
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
My yard was full of capeweed and barely any grass. I spent weeks just pulling out the capeweed. Once I got most of it, I hosed on a Weed and Feed which forces the weeds to grow uncontrollably until they die. It worked quite well. Each time a patch opened up, I got grass seed in there regardless of the season, and then I did a dethatch, plug, overseed and topdress in autumn. Now the lawn is looking 100x better. Still a little way to go, but now my neighbours comment on the lawn so I guess I've done something right!
Fantastic 👍🙏❤️
What perfect timing!
Thanks for the clover promos included 🎉❤
No problem 😊
Grass is looking great Rob!
Thanks 🙏👍
Another good helpful video Robbie. Hope you’re well buddy.
Thanks Scott. I hear saltex is back on in November, hopefully we will get a catch up and a few pints
@@Premier_lawns_official sounds good Robbie. Looking forward to it.
Hi Robbie, great video , and thanks for taking the time out for making the footage.
I have a large area of grass at the bottom of my garden that I recovered from a wilderness when we bought the piece of land off the local housing association. We had big plans for the area, but unfortunately I was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2017.
The grass in this area seems to grow at a much faster rate than the lawn nearer to the house. After a last cut in October I have to leave the area alone over the winter and come March the grass just seems to shoot up.
My question is do grasses grow at a different rate?
Is there any way I can stunt the growth of this fast growing piece of the garden?
Thanks
Hi Robbie, I first did not mind the white clover in my lawn and throught as you do, it's good for the bees. Nature did not thank me for that, because meanwhile in some patches I have more clover than grass. Clover seems to be stronger than grass, so in the long run you don't do yourself a favour to tolerate this weed.
Really helpful video... thanks a million!👍
Thank you, happy to help 😁😁😁
I’m going to try this with all the weed grass I have!👍🏻
Excellent, im actually addicted to picking the clover out of my lawn...the stolons knitting their way through under the sword...spreads like crazy..thanks for the advice Robbie
👍👍👍
I like how you first bring up the benefits of the weeds before you tell us how to kill them. Giving them a fair trial lol
It was a really interesting video to research. I learnt a lot making it too i
New to your channel.....I think the best way to do this, is you coming to my house and doing it for me, hahaha. Thank you for showing me what to do. Ill be in the garden tomorrow to sort my lawn out. Thanks again..
On my way 😁
Thank you.hahaha@@Premier_lawns_official
0:04 Why are there eng subtitles? I’m swedish and i am not a native speaker but i understand you perfectly well. Love the accent by the way.
I get lots of rude comments about people who cannot understand my Irish accent. Thank you for your comment, your welcome back anytime 😊
Im in a battle with daisies and dandelions on the lawn. I have been lifting the turf with a pitch fork to loosen the roots, using a trowel to lift them and just pulling them straight out by hand.It's nice to do later on these summer nights 👍
I definitely recommend a tool for this, specifically Fiskars Xact weed puller. No bending over, instant remover, and its sooo satisfying to use. I had a cheap weed puller before but upgraded to this after trying my friends' one. Had it for 2 weeks and its my favourite tool for garden work now. I have tried and tested it on dandelions, daisies, brambles, thistles, ragweed, etc. yet to find a weed it cant get out. Not the cheapest out there but it absolutely is worth it, I have a bad back, and this will save me so much time and effort its' phenomenal.
@@freshfed Awesome, sounds like a game changer for me. Thanks for sharing mate 👍
I also am working on a lawn that I have ignored for years...now more dandelion than grass, it seems. It may take a few years but I just can't give up. I use a dandelion fork and also a long thin wand that screws onto your hose and drills down with water. Makes a lot of mud but also easier to pull-up the footlong + taproots. I find it is always easier to pull taproots after a really good rain
I like daisies and clover, just pulling them up where they are undesired or over growing and mowing back works, not a fan of dandelion in a lawn, it can be nice in the right meadow when they are all flowering, but the foliage and many stages of it's flowerring cycle look unsightly, little shirley poppies are nice, though they can take over and become weeds, just have to make sure they don't self-sow, guess it depends what you like, a weed is just a plant that is growing somewhere you don't want it- clover are good for your soil though, they fix nitrogen and when they die back, it goes into the soil, as do the bacteria in the nodules, this leaves an area where the grass will outcompete the clover, you can see the patches moving, coming and going. These flowers also attract many pollinators like bees and butterflies (they love daisies and their relatives), this benefits your garden and the insects add to the colour and atmosphere too.
Some great advice there, thank you 🙏🙏
Thumbs up Friday 👍👍👍
Jeff 👍👍👍
interesting, thank you
Hi Robbie, could you please make a video on how to control/kill ivy. Here in south east its growing into everything. Its a big problem. Great informative videos, keep up the great work.
Ok :)
Hi mate, I am having a hard time finding any good info on creeping buttercup. Would you be able to suggest on how to remove or control this? Thank you
You've changed how I regard the clover in my lawn. Thanks!
Clover is an amazing plant
Smashed.. liked.. 😁
Good lad
I power raked with 2 in 1 and left brown patches all over. look dead in parts. I gave it a feed but its not done much to help. Any thoughts Robbie to fix it. Thanks
Dandelion is the most persistent. Easy to dig them out with a fork; get root or it will grow back; if flowering don’t leave flower on ground as it will turn to seed even after lifting- best to get them as soon as they flower, or preferably before.
With reference to the comments on biodiversity, I think a nice green lawn can still be had if you grow plenty of plants and flowers in your borders with wildlife in mind. Also if you have large enough garden, then maybe a patch of grass area that is left to grow long and let nature take its course can still be beneficial and attractive.
We have an acre field besides the lawn, plenty of biodiversity there
@@Premier_lawns_official Lucky man!
Hi Robbie. My 90 year old mother loves her large lawned garden. This year she is consumed in digging up any lawn daisies that she finds. She tells me that they are spread by their seeds but I have never seed them with seed heads. I have always thought that they spread under the soil by their roots. I am not trying to stop her way of trying to get rid of them as its keeping her active but it is interesting to know how they propagate themselves. I cant find any way on the internet how to eradicate them other than digging up and we would never use weed killer. Please help.
Regards Theresa.
I like a bit of clover in the lawn but last year I had a problem with Lesser trefoil or yellow suckling clover I scarified it all out but then we had a hose pipe ban and then winter this year the yellow suckling clover has com back with covering 2 thirds of the lawn how can I get rid of it without scarifing again
Hi, love your vids, just taken my lawn up approx 40 sqmt. Roots and weeds prob, got it covered with vis queen at the mo. Haven't levelled was going to next year with new grass. Any advice wd be great, thanks
Hey Gordon, I have a private group on Facebook called the premier Lawns community, they can help you with that
Post some pictures...
Hello
Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteering and thanks to your team
Question
My lawn is full of weeds
I need your good suggestion
Can you help me
Your best bet is a Selective Weed Killer like weedol
@@Premier_lawns_official I will try and post. Thanks a lot
Green grass is a weird concept to me... the amount of herbicide and fertilizer that you need to add is just 1- a waste of money
2- not good for the environnement (wildlife, insects (very important for our survival such as bees, butterflies, etc.)
Clover in your lawn actually add nitrogen into the sol via their roots so they help your lawn to stay greener without the need for fertilizer (also they are a good source of pollen for pollinators and they are edibles ! )
Hi David, I tried to show all of that on the video. Thanks for the feedback 🙂
@ dylan milner Exactly right! Manicured lawns should he a thing of the past...Nobody should be killing wild flowers such as daisies or dandelions for the sake of "neatness" and for their own misguided vanity!
Relax there Brian!
@@pronoun_dilemma Very relaxed, thanks. I'm also very right ;-)
@@typhoontim125
I agree, I hate lawns, I refuse to mow mine, and neighbors cry about it.
One neighbor even sprays my lawn, and mows part of it.
Only reason I'm here trying to learn about this is because I need to rent this place out, means "fix" the yard, make it look pretty for the city folk.
Table salt poured onto the crown of dandelions works a treat
I will have to give that a go
Hi Robbie, how would you go about getting rid of creeping buttercup?
Buttercups like damp ground. Change those conditions and it will go to
Hi there overseeing my lawn very soon would top soil over seed be best option or add something else to soil and would you go rake or lawn lute
This video should answer your questions ua-cam.com/video/3xzVmX4-STA/v-deo.html
Thanks for your video done my lawn overseeded and leveled with topsoil wow how good are those landscape rakes next year lawn lute
I've got the dandelions out one by one, with a fiskars weed puller. Took all last summer, but it's worked a treat. Now, what can I do about bindweed?
Bind weed and it’s corkscrew roots are a bugger. Maybe if we just start thinking of them as mini morning glories 🥰 they are related after all 🤭
Can lawn sand be used in summer?
We have bind weed in our lawns, thanks to the landscapers bringing in tons of poor soil, before laying new turf ! I'm not sure if there is a way of getting rid of it is there ? Tia.
Do you put sand over the top of the grass seed-pete mix ... to help prevent mix from being washed away?
No need for anything like that
Im seeing videos of using roundup to totally kill off grass.. then re seed a new lawn .. can this be done as i thought you cant re grow a lawn after using glysophate
I was the channel to introduce this in the UK. It's not a perfect fix. Look through my past videos and you will see Plenty of videos on it
i noticed at the end the bit when you fixed a bumpy lawn the grass was a different colour to the rest as its different seeds maybe, I have the same problem is there any way to get it all same colour
Paint/Overseed everywhere/Renovate again.
We cut that lawn from the field. Plus the bit that was fixed was fed so it's going to be greener than the other bits due to the fertiliser
Won't blocking the light also kill the grass?
Clover is not a weed, it’s a legume. It’s beneficial as it’s nitrogen fixing and stays green even in droughts. I have a green lawn all summer without wasting my well water thanks to clover. I did a new lawn behind the house and made sure to buy a mix of a few types of grass plus clover. It’s perfect.
The weed killer industry convinced people clover was a weed as their products kills all broadleafs including clover. Prior to weed killers, healthy lawn included clover. My garden centre owner said that she’s seeing an increase in people wanting clover in their lawn.
That's a great argument, and I hoped the video helped show some of the benefits of having Clover
I have a 10.000 m2 lawn at my new place and I am planting clover.
I am transitioning to clover as we speak.
@@grattonland broadleaves vs broadleafs
I didn’t get my lawn scarified l,because it’s been so wet,is it to late now or could I do a light one
It's to late now,
Just as a matter of interest what type or make of fertiliser do you use obi one
Dave, I'm so on the fence about that one. I try not and talk about the pro products
@@Premier_lawns_official I understand obi ☝️
@@davel831 hows things anyway chum?
I've creeping buttercup in my lawn what's best thing to kill it ??
I will be doing more weed videos 👍
My front garden is full of stuff other than grass! I don't know what to do
Follw the steps
Are you down in Carrick at the minute?!
👍
Question...if i want to use the plastic...how long does it take to kill the weed etc?
It's one of those things, it will depend on the weed. Try it out and see how it goes
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks buddy.
Hello, i have tons of dandelions and bunny's . I know they love them but the dandolians are doing something to my grass. I refuse to use chemicals.
bunnies vs bunny's
I have weeds at all random places all over my lawn front back and side I have dug out most ( from the root ) but now I see crab grass all over random places
It would be great to get rid of it
Crab grass is tricky, where are you from
@@Premier_lawns_official Dundee
@@Premier_lawns_official Scotland east side
Hi Robbie, thanks for the tips👍 A question please: With the plant pot and and black plastic method, how long would these need to be left to kill a dandelion root? Thank you.
Good question, honest answer. I'm not sure
Blocking out the light is going to kill the grass as well as the weeds though. At that point you might as well have just dug it up.
@@opticyclic Yes that's true. Perhaps it'd work well for a fair sized area, say a square metre or more. You could cover it over, leave it for a few weeks, then reseed; that'd be easier than digging it all up.
I can't see how it will kill off the root.
@@gaurasrspublishing It will stop photosynthesis wouldn’t it?
how are you getting the checked effect do you mow in two directions with roller? is there a height that's better at showing the checks
Hi Helen, yes a mower with a roller will give you the best stripes.
There isn't a one size fits all for stripes, i use an old antique lawn professional mower for my lawn and that lets me cut it a bit shorter than most lawns (You don't need this)
Most people will cut their lawns around 30-40mm with a rotary (roller) lawn mower and will get fantasic stripes
If you don't have a roller mower and still want stripes, check out this video ua-cam.com/video/_J5pwywuX7M/v-deo.html
We have 2 cats, is the lawn sand safe to use with pets?
Cats don't eat grass, so I would think so
@Premier_lawns_official thank you. I meant if they get it on their paws and then lick them. But if its not something that has come up before then I guess it's not an issue. Thanks for your reply.
How can we get poa killer in uk
Move to the USA
How long do you have to leave the plastic on the lawn to kill the dandilions?
Selective weed killer is how I do it. It works really well. Great tips. 👍👽
That's how I do it for most lawns
A very recent study has determined that even week killers are negatively impacting pollinators, bees especially cannot regulate hive temperatures after exposure to weed killers
Why aren't you using malt vinegar on your fish and chips?
I love the internet, everyone gets to be a critic 😛
Clovers are supposed to be toxic and he’s eating them 😮
7:44 the neighbours will think,what?
Isn’t clover really good for wildlife?
Yes 👍
Also very good for your lawn and for bees.
I feel like I’m watching a Guy Richie movie
I think there is a compliment in there somewhere haha!
Sorry.. what about creeping buttercup?
What about it
@@Premier_lawns_official how do you deal with creeping buttercups. It's everywhere this year
@@neilburke5328 Buttercup loves heavy, wet soils. Think about to the start of my video, create the conditions the grass likes and it will outgrow it, regular lawn mowing is another way to stay on top of it
My lawn is getting taken over by mind-your-own-business. Any suggestions apart from digging it out?
I will be doing more weed videos
Can you level your lawn in June/July?
Of course you can
Can the grass be any height or does it need to be cut short?
For levelling

I used tenacity and it has worked like a charm. None in my yard at all.
i did that last week not sure what i did wrong but the grass also turned white and some of it is dieing
@@timberhills1778 you may have sprayed too much. If that happens it kills the grass. A quick one pads over the clover is all that is needed. Also if you add surfactant to the tenacity it helps it stick to the leaves of the clover. I also add a blue sye so I can see where it has been sprayed.

@@Premier_lawns_official yeah, because we all have a big field.....who is your information for???
@@martinweir5983I was making an observation
Clover is a weed???
It's a weed if it's growing there unwanted. If you do want it, it's not a weed
@@Premier_lawns_official Fair enough. Personally would love a 100% clover lawn. :)
A green lawn may look nice but it's space robbed from nature, our gardens make up more space in the UK than all other green spaces put together, therefore we should be encouraging wild flowers to grow...no mow May etc. You people who are obsessed with having a bowling green lawns and sterile gardens, devoid of wildlife with living room type furniture are selfishly extending their indoor space (but it only really gets used for a handful of months due to weather) and this impacts habitat and food availablity for insects, birds, mammals etc that are now in such serious decline we are likely to witness the extinction of several species in the next decade. Leave the weeds! They are actually flowers
Don't waste your time and money buying resolva weed killer, just saying...
@A Nony Mouse I believe the active ingredients are mecoprop-P and dicamba
😂
We shouldn't be killing these, they are a great food source for pollinators, and a glover awn looks great and is easy to mange only needing a couple of cuts a a. year, I have watched and enjoyed many of your gardening videos, but I hate videos like this. We all need to be providing food for bees and other pollinators, not focusing on manicured lawns
Thanks for the feedback 🙂
What you're calling weeds are vital for biodiversity. Plain grass manicured lawns have little value. Don't kill anything! Let the grass, daisies and dandelions grow!
I tried to provide a balanced argument to letting the 'weeds' grow 👍
Buddy,read the description and listen to what the man is saying!!
It’s about a good lawn, not a wild flower meadow!! If you want a meadow grow one, stop watching videos about lawns !!!
