Renovating YOUR LAWN when HOT // 5 SIMPLE steps to follow

[@keef531uk5]

Hi Dan, I’ve often wondered why you don’t do a video that focuses on the products you supply, what each one is used for and whether they can be mixed. Given how much superb content you’ve put out I don’t think any one could say it’s too self indulgent! 😂 For me it would be helpful in deciding what I need as right now it’s a bit confusing. It would also be a useful reference to go back to. Just a thought.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Because im Not an advertising channel not even for my own

[@JakeMc92]

I would actually second this. I have bought Dan's products but I would also love to see a video that focus on information around them eg. When to use them, how much to use, what can be mixed with what.

[@buttonman6262]

Good shout!👍🏻

[@keef531uk5]

I understand Dan and that is a very refreshing approach. Perhaps you could use the key ingredients rather than the brand name? For example, I’m confused why you now have Sow Pro, Galactic Green and Grace as separate products and yet often mix them together? Is there a reason you don’t sell a combined product?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

@@keef531uk5 you cant put them in one bottle as they all need to be separate as not always do they need to be applied together

Great to see you doing this. I grew my rear lawn from seed in the height of summer last year and was told it won't work, well it did. I verticut whenever i want, and anything else when i want to!

[@Erectmygreenhouse]

Yeah. I think I'll leave the lawn high for a few days - heatwave. My stupid council came around and mowed the front lawns really low - for once. Now it's pretty much dead. I've watered it but it is bone dry However my back lawn is green! Apart from the repair patches

[@Ray_ray11]

No problem with the heat here in Scotland. Still getting plenty of heavy showers. Usual good video content. I suppose the only way a professional would use a battery mower is to have several batteries and some kind of "in car" charger. The only complaint I have with my Kensington is the grass box, with the big lips on it there is always some grass left in, and you really have to make sure you get it all out.

[@Erectmygreenhouse]

We've had no rain down here in London. I've left the back lawn grow - just take the tops off of the weed grasses. All my neighbour's lawns look full of clover and brown.

[@zmjackson1]

I love these vids. My prg lawn has never looked better. Thank you 🙏

Cool! Best wishes!

Hi Dan, would you consider to create a video about summer watering routine please? Cheers....

[@DJWerkz]

You need to come to Texas and help a Brit ex-pat deal with the heat here and water restrictions lol

[@berndtslawncare4906]

Love the video and your channel! Great work!

[@stevereed5776]

[@y9art]

I cut my lawn using my battery powered Hayter 48 set at number 2, due to lawn size and budget together with not being important enough to attract the attention of Austin it is unlikely I will have use of a cylinder mower, I have the option of using level 1 but will that go anyway to getting a similar effect to using a reel mower ? or for lawn health is it just best to leave it set on number 2 and save all my pension money for a plan to get a cylinder mower.

[@janinew233]

Oh I wish you lived nearer to Derbyshire. I would get you out to help me sort my lawn out. I have terrible clay soil and I've got cracks in it big enough to fit your hand in it.

[@janinew233]

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks for your reply. If I mix sand and more topsoil would this help? Or would it be best to dig it all up and lay a lot of top soil over it and start again?

@@janinew233 if clays cracking then means its very dry for weeks, why no water?

Brilliant video Daniel, I’ve noticed you dig out the POA before it spreads. How would you get rid of a large patch of it say 0.5m2? I’ve been verticutting and going over with the Hayter to ‘suck’ up any seed heads every 3 weeks or so, waiting for the rains to comes in September before overseeding and top dressing.

[@italianjob-vx6hp]

If you can do this? Set up an automated sprinkler. Vercut hard in every direction possible. Then overseed and cover with smattering of sifted soil or compost and use the heat to your advantage. That is what I do and get great germination.

Still chasing that ultimate lawn but getting there bit by bit so keep the videos coming, they're really helping. I noticed you said you used field compost on this video. How come no jacks magic? I've been using jacks magic but I can only get the new blend and don't know what the difference is

[@Ray_ray11]

[@janicewilson9827]

I have had conflicting advice about a couple of things. 1.you cant put wetting agent on lawns in a heat wave. True or false? 2. You can't put high nitrogen feed on a newly seeded lawn. True or false ? Mine is 6 weeks old A1 Pro 8 seed. Green thumb says you certainly can but A1 seeds say not until lawn is fully established and to wait for autumn then apply autumn feed. Conflicting advice and I am confused.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

All nonsense youve just seen me do one of them

[@paoreill]

Hi Dan, Having taken your advice on board I've ordered some Barenbrug Extreme, ebay wouldn't let me order from you as I'm in the Republic of Ireland. I would love to hear your advice on 2 questions. I have a fescue lawn at the moment, good in parts and a-lot of POA in other parts. Is heavily scarifying it back to almost bare soil enough or do I need to round up it first. Also, best time of year to do this and establish a new Barenburg Extreme lawn following all your methods. Many thanks

[@PDARUNS]

Hello Daniel great videos 👌 I bought a scarifier rake from homebase as im not a professional. It comes with 2 attachments. One with bigger tongs like aerator rake its called. And the scarifier part with the thin rakes. Which attachment do i use for light scarifying on high setting like you just did in your video?? Cheers.

[@MrLAJB]

Hi Dan, another good video. I hope your back gets better. I’m able to get my lawn as good as the lawn at the start of the vid, but I’m struggling to keep the colour. I think I need to increase my feed applications both liquid and granular. Could you do a video on your feed schedule on your best lawns? Thanks Luke

[@phill4823]

Enjoy your videos Dan, have really helped me with my own lawn. I have notice some brown patches, I thought this was due to the heat recently. Do you think I should scarify it? Cheers

[@ianscott6265]

Daniel, I follow you always. I’m now bed bound and love my lawns, but, I broke my back, I’ve fed through years etc as ex Green keeper. My wife and son been feeding and cutting beautiful. Had to get Greenthumb in and they’ve ruined them. Can I send just a couple of photos of before and since Greenthumb got involved? Please as it kills me to see.

So we're likely to reach a hosepipe ban soon Paul, any tips on what we can do when watering the lawn is not allowed?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Wetting agent to get what water you do put on through to the lower parts

[@movingforward1981]

Will using an electric scarifier (blades instead of the tines) on the highest setting once a month do a good enough job like a verticutter ?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Yeah it will do a job

[@oz969]

Hi Dan, I'm still using up the ICL Pro turf you used to use. Growth was great for the first 4 weeks but it's dropped off alot since and lost its colour. Did you ever experience this ever? Perhaps too much frequent watering breaking the granules down faster? Would you feed it again even though it says it should last 2 months or wait? Thanks for all your help

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

This time of year grass is hungry so you will see drop offs

Another great video Daniel looking forward to seeing the results. I have a question, my lawn has patches of sheeep grass (Ryegrass) gutted as I sowed it from seed but didn’t realise, would verticutting help thin this out before I try & overseed?

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert I call it sheep grass because it’s what sheep feed off out in the country.

I love how your expertise often goes against common internet lawn laws - eg never scarify outside of spring or fall, only water 1-2 times per week.

Great Videos and advice. I have recently re turfed my front garden end of April. 5m x 3m. Its establish very quickly, but i am afraid of cutting to short. What Mower would recommend being such a small area? I have raked out some old grass and put some firtiliazer down also. I am a complete novice tbh. After a cut its about an inch and half high, but it is nice and green. Just want to go lower to get some nice stripes.
