Just stunning!!! Great job mate!! I’ve done a 15,400sq foot lawn Reno and used your fleece technique and wow after 10 days I’ve got amazing growth!!! Thanks for all your advice Dan!!

Hi Dan Great vlog 👌 Do you remember that fertiliser “Green Gold” it was a high nitrogen fertiliser back in the late 80’s and 90’s and we used it at the Belfry for a few years as obviously we could keep up with the growth being planned golf course maintenance

Great tip about using the rotary after verticutting to cut the stood-up lateral growth! Last time I did it i used the cylinder and the front roller just flattened it before the blade got it 😅

Awesome!! I was looking for a video from you on the yellowing of the grass. I did a reno on mine following you videos and I looked mint and then recently, some blades started to go yellow!
