That lawn looks green!!! to me despite the toll that you say the dry weather has taken on it. Lawns down here in Hampshire are a bleached straw colour, dry as a bone and the soil rock hard. Never seen anything like it in my lifetime. The hosepipe ban is the last thing we needed here.

Mine is certainly looking like straw.Just bought my Jacks Magic so I am ready to go.Does it matter that the grass looks like straw and will the scarifier take too much out of the garden.Superb videos by th way

I learn a lot from your vids but I’d love to see you have a go on my half acre of really stressed lawn/straw! ;) the lawns you look after that you say are bad seem to be in great Nick to me comparatively. I can’t easily access/afford all the gear and chemicals. It would be great to see a video about what you can do with really basic kit and basic chemicals (ie no wetting agents/galactic etc just 4in1) and a knackered lawn

Dan your knowledge and hard work create a fantastic looking lawn. So I don't understand why on the right hand side lawn there are clumps of long grass between the path and the lawn edge. Surely it spoils the visuals.

Is it possible to mix 2 lawn feeds together? I have 2 half bags of winter lawn feed. 1 is 12-5-20 and the other is 3-10-5. Different makes as one is proctor and 1 is icl. Don't want to really damage the lawn. One bag is like 3yrs old so not sure it it would work still. Thank
