I'd like to see you take on a lawn that has been really neglected for a long time. I've recently moved house and the lawn here is full of all sorts of weeds, moss, anthills - you name it!

[@drewmoorhouse6210]

Same situation.

[@roberthamilton2334]

If you go through Daniels videos at different times he shows total renovations (from digging out to finish) alot of work !!

[@RegSchmo]

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Absolutely love the content you offer here. @MrGrumtastic could have a fair point. I have not covered all your Videos yet Dan but I have watched alot. Its difficult to index or search for content - I looked for Rootzone depths the other day and it was difficult to find specific content. I have a 300sqm lawn laid on builders rubble which I cant currently afford to dig up and start again so I have to manage the best I can by killing weeds, spot levelling, moss control, scarifying and reseeding. Its a tricky balancing act when you throw in weather and feed products I would really appreciate some tips on how to make the best of 'scratchy' lawns, weedkillers (and how to deal with weeds not covered by Weedol / Resolva - Speedwell Woodrush) dwell times and a review of your products and what and how best to use efficiently? Equally there has to be a tipping point where there is no sensible option than to kill the lot and start again! Keep up the good work and if you get to Wembley I'll buy you a pint!

Daniel, scarified and top dressed my lawn 2 weeks ago, but the grass has hardly grown since. -1C here again last night, South Lakes - lashing it down this evening. How long, do you think, should/can I leave it before I give it a cut?

[@Alekin86]

We laid our lawn two years ago and I’ve done nothing with it. The topsoil has sunk and levelled leaving some dips to the point I cannot really use the cylinder at all, it’s far from the pool table flat that we started with sadly. I’ve taken out all the dandelions and rogue grasses and it’s mostly good grass again. What’s the best field compost to use to fill my dippy bits following seeding?

Can I ask a question, the field compost no. 4 has it been sterilised Im just a bit worried that the nature of compost is made up of all kinds of plants and grasses if annual meadow grass seeds are present in it I maybe making things worse. I’ve been battling with AMG for years. Thanks Dan Simon in Kent

I have obviously had quite a bit of growth come through from existing lawn along with some but not all the new seed emerge it will be 3 weeks on Sunday since renovation. Question is shall I cut or leave until more of the seed germinates. Thanks in advance.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

If existing lawn needs cutting then cut but just push n pull the mower so your not turning on the new seed

My lawn is getting overrun by horsetail. Not too sure if there is anything I can do about it apart from digging the whole lawn up and starting again but I expect the horsetail will come back

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Just keep cutting and apply lawn weedkiller it will keep it at bay

[@ejseljan]

Question for you, I see a lot of lawn content creators put down the soil or compost first and then the seed on top of that and rake it in but you do the opposite, put the seed down first and the compost on top. Have you seen a greater benefit of seed first? Maybe less chance of wash out or birds eating the seed?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

They got lawns few months down the lawn that look like mine? Why put the seed on last when we are using the compost as a blanket, Answer me this When you plant a sunflower seed in a pot do you put the compost in the pot them just leave the seed exposed on top or do you press it down then cover it over with compost?

[@ejseljan]
