Scarify your way to a MOSS FREE Lawn!

[@dw300]

Dan, can I make a technical suggestion? Your camera is set to AWB (Auto White Balance), so everytime you take a close look at the grass, it wants to balance, and either reduces the green/yellow, or turns the blue and magenta levels up to compensate, which I think doesn't make the grass look as good. It's also less consistent video to video. Since you mostly work during daytime, setting White Balance to 5500k (Kelvin scale) or Daylight might be better. Love the videos regardless. =)

Dan, thanks for these videos. Got stuck in last year on a mission to sort my lawn, and made good progress in some part thanks to your vids. Question about mowing and scarifying at this time of year: Should I be worried about frost coming after I scarify?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

No not at all grass is designed to cope with frost i never lost a lawn to a frost

[@MrMattrowland]

Looking good! Well on the ball for February. If you didn’t overseed that lawn in March/April would it still come back nice with the grass that’s already there?

[@roger4880]

@@BrettSucks TurfCareBlog is a good KZbin channel run by a cricket pro. Good insight into how and when to use xyz technique. I'm applying pre-emergent soon, Poa A had fun sprouting over the mild winter.

[@MrMattrowland]

Yeah great story, didn’t ask you though.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

I think it would yes in terms of coverage but theres some areas which are bear and always have been do just want to imcorporate some new seed see what we can do alongside existing grasses

[@MrMattrowland]

Yeah that’s the issue I have. Will the rise and shine not interfere too much with the seed as it’s low in nitrogen? So good to apply now to get the lawn going after moss removal but not enough to mess new seed up. It’s mad how much I’ve learnt of you in a couple of years. I work on border design and renovation but it’s given me so much confidence from the videos I’ve taken on a 700sm lawn this season to see what I can do.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

@@MrMattrowland it wont hurt your seed no but will just get the existing lawn back quicker after scarifying

[@scottranger1767]

Superb sound quality ! Any reason why you don't use a battery knapsack , much easier on your arm.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Equals up the muscle on the left arm

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Like your comment not just calling out poor sound but congratulating on good sound also just used the mic witn fluffy thing in rather than the little mircoohine on a wireattached to the same thing funnily enough

[@adamhills4855]

Brilliant knowledge and videos, could you recommend any courses i could take regarding chemicals and fertilizers as i would love to get into this line of business but lack the knowledge and confidence. Many thanks Adam

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

You would need a fepa licence which is a theory and practical course so you can spray weedkillers etc, but its very hard business to get into unless you are mowing aswell you need 1000s of customers if just feeding as you may not go back for 3 months if its your standard 4 treatments a year programme

[@Ray_ray11]

Are you going to replace the Allett, if you are what are you going to get?. Looking forward another season of videos.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

[@paulricketts4813]

Daniel do you sell all the lawn products you use regards Paul.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Yes on ebay links in desscription but out of stock of rise n shine

[@leefenton9477]

Thank you Daniel as always, apologies, like already asked? Would it be ok to follow this IF I didn’t intend to over-seed come April? I certainly will for the back lawn ( buy just not keen to do the front lawn until I’ve done the back ) I’ve got some fellow gardeners on the front of house but just incase anything goes wrong. I won’t have to hide my head in shame😅 once I’m happy with the back , I can do the front then 😁

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Yeah as long as you dont make a mess and if you do dont mind looking at it

[@dlkentertain-rs5si]

Hi Daniel, I'm in Dublin, Ireland love the channel. Looking to get Galactic Green but ebay wont ship to Ireland is there an equivalent off the shelf product.

[@roger4880]

Probably a mix of seaweed, iron and black strap molasses and maybe a lose dose of nitrogen. Very cheap and easy to make. When you hear "I'm putting carbs on my lawn" it means a form of sugar, molasses is the go to for most pre made bio carb products. The green up generally comes from Nitrogen, Magnesium and Iron. Nitrogen is readily available Magnesium from Epsom Salts Iron from Iron/Ferrous Sulphate All of the above available very cheaply if you are willing to buy individually. Read up on how much to use per square meter, plenty of articles online describing this. Or if you don't want to make it up the ICL liquid range is excellent.

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Not sure but wouldnt say anyway as loyal to my own products, ill look inti the international shipping this year

[@lukebryant6110]

Hey Dan, loving the videos, quick question, is there a way to know whether to completely kill off your lawn to start again with new seed (for example a fair bit of amg) verses persevering with what you have (scarifying / over seeding ) etc etc ? What’s your gauge for knowing when you’re flogging a dead horse ?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

If it full of weedgrasses like annual meadow grass and big thick leaved grasses usually i say is no good

[@lukebryant6110]

Thanks appreciate the advice 👍

[@edh7492]

Would a light plastic deck 4 wheel rotary be better for pickup than the roller on the big heavy harrier so it doesn’t roll the grooves flat in this situation?

Yeah that would be but i dont have one lol

Dan, could you recommend a battery powered scarifier? I was hoping they`d come down in price over the winter but no such luck. Can`t be arsed with my electric one any more.

What dose did you put down for the rise and shine 11-5-5?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

It was 32 on the dial so not sure what this equates to but it probably around 45g per m2, just trialing out how far you can go without causing damage

[@bridew]

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thanks! Dropped 30gr/sqm of Blaukorn 12-8-16 which contains a mix of ammonium and nitric nitrogen but it was difficult to put down evenly because of how big the grains are and I was wondering if putting down another layer was too much since the lawn doesn't seem to respond to it yet, because of low temps here in France.
