Thanks Dan, more useful information at just the right time.
Love the music it's mega relaxing 😊😊😊
I used field 5 last year to fill in some dips / bumps and it was super easy to put down and worked ace 👌..
Great as always 👍
Been out doing the same today, cheers Danny
Great video Daniel. Clear and informative.
Good calls about the fleecing. Sometimes I do it because it makes me feel good. No clue if germination is actually better. It is in my mind.
Nice job Dan !
Great video as always Dan, looking forward to seeing the results in a few weeks. And now I have seen you starting to put seed down, I shall be doing the same👍
Thanks Dan. I’ll try no. 5 I think. I think you’re right about play offs- good luck. And Play up Pompey! 🔵🔵🔵
Booooooo
Another quality video with some great tips as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another great video, Daniel 👍
Dan - after a hard sporting season with the most rain i have seen in any season - could you do a guide for sports pitches and what you would do in order to get our sports pitches back up together after a very hard season and ready for the 2024/25 season. Would you ever do core aeration or verti-drain prior to seeding?
Thanks Dan, I’m learning pal, I’m learning….
Not from the UK and new to the channel, binge watched a lot of older videos, best thing I've taken from you so far is getting all the rubbish/dead stuff off/out of the lawn.
Huge improvement just following that as rule #1 it sounds so obvious now but I had never given it any thought.
Yeah keep picking up the tips work across the globe, another vid at 9 am uk time easter saturday
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert I'm inverted to you guys (Australia) I've got warm season grass so I'm doing my best to get it as good as it can be and get the soil/roots healthy before it goes dormant.
You have a relaxing and consistent way of teaching, it's really good content from a professional tradesman.
@@Billy_Williamson cheerz much appreciated, your coming into autumn now are you?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert yeah it's still pretty warm though relatively.
Lows of 13 and high of 27 is the two extremes of the week, but average 16 low and 24 high around midday.
Not huge rain but definitely not dry either.
I might get a chance to mow low and get some fine compost over the lawn.
I want to get on to any weeds coming up but I need a couple of days without rain or watering.
Great videos mate 👍 My dad played for Bolton in the early 80s , Love to see them do well .
Hi yeah i remember tony caldwell i has just started watching wanderers during his spell there, what was it like having a footballer dad then? Where did you live? Was you even born?
Ha yeah I was 6 born in 80 . Lived in Salford then and remember going too Burnden Park and Wembley . Learned so much from your videos, Great work 👍
When can I get the roller gadget thing? 😮
Hi Daniel, another great vid ta, followed your tips last year to bring my front lawn back to life… it’s getting there!, where did you get the really wide fleece from? my trouble is them pesky pigeons! (I’m up Astley Bridge)👍
sycamore seedlings may not be a problem in the lawn, but if you have them in the lawn, you will almost certainly have them in your borders too - and they are a huge issue in borders. You have to pick them out one by one, or hoe the soil
Great channel, just subscribed.
Watch out for the Imps 😀
Thanks Daniel. Play up Pompey!
Booooooooooooooo
Hi Daniel. What is the gadget you used to make the holes for the seed, and where can I buy one? Great video . 👍🤗
Hi Daniel. I emailed you from Edinburgh a few weeks back, thanks again for coming back to me. I've scarified with allett liberty 43, and I'm about to aerate tomorrow with a device I've rented. After, that, I'll seed and top dress. But can you link the seed you recommended, and also the liquid you're spraying?
I think your videos are great. Keep up the good work. 👍
Also, that roller device you bought on eBay seems sold out every where. You're due a bit of compo
Handy looking tool that Dan. Before seeding a job like this at this time of the year are you just checking the forecast for no frosts and that determines when you’ll do it?
I have been doing this now along time and frost never been an issue by the time this comes through we will be mid April so will be fine but i appreciate the further north you are it may be different
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpertthanks Dan that’s good to know. I’m in Leicestershire
@danielHibbertlawnexpert what are thoughts on pre-germinating grass seeds before putting it in ground.
Ive done it when under pressure but generally you dont need to
My living room feature wall has at least 3 layers of wallpaper!!
Really lol
Extra insulation 😂😂
Great vid. My front lawn is about the same size and needs a similar treatment. How many g/m2 for that overseeding?
I went on around 50g
Hi Dan, enjoy your content. Do you have any advice on removing weeds / crab grass? I have a scarifier ready to go but will it just spread the weeds / crab grass if I don’t get rid of it all? Feels like a never ending battle to get an immaculate green lawn!
Dan will just tell you to dig it out with a cutlery fork, Roots and all!
What brand/ size of rake was that you were using?
Is it a good time to spray iron oxide?
Hi Dan. May i ask why on this latest video you used top dressing while on the last one with the bug stripes you just used a wetting agent? I ask ss i wonder what method for my lawn which is 2 years since being returfed . Thanks!
Hi Daniel, fantastic video as always. Do you sharpen the Hayter's blades yourself or do you get it done by a pro?
Never sharpened one in my life when its in need i just buy a new one
Great great video 👏👏 whats that new rake thingy called for making the little holes for the seeds ?? I need one 😁

Great stuff Dan . Great job pal . Good luck with the footy . ❤
Next super video Daniel. Where I can buy the rake to leveling like you? No links in a description to the video

Hi Dan, what setting did you have the spreader on for the seed? Thanks

Don’t know much about Bolton Wanderers FC, but I still feel compelled to say: Go Bolton!
Blew it today
'She's having easter off' :')
How long after the seed germination can you feed and what is your recommended in shop.
The recommend in the shop are the amazon items is that what you mean? Or what products do i recommend?
Well theres more to it than just feeding after seeding,
Hi Dan. Loving the channel. How long should I wait before cutting my lawn after overseeding and top dressing?
Thanks
Few weeks unless the existing lawn needs cutting, thats why i dont put any feed down to buy me some time
Dan I did the renovation Easter weekend I’ve ordered the slow grow to slow things down a little bit with existing lawn if I put that on when it arrives will that be ok or will I be wasting my money a week after seeding.
@@user-sq4ww6kt2s prob bit early as your going to slow the seed down aswell in theory.
Do you have a link to that hand roller device that punches the holes for seed?
Watch the video in full
Awesome video once more Dan, thank you. Can’t believe I missed the notification as I just placed my first online order with you. Congrats on the 40k. May I ask the difference from your perspective between No. 5 and No. 29? Working on a small, clay patch to start with DIAB and want to improve the soil as much as I can. TIA
Never used the 29 is it for fine turf?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 29 says fine grade 4mm sandy lawn dressing with horticultural sharp sand/composted organic matter and 5 is sandy loam top soil/composted organic matter. Not sure what the ratio was. Money is super tight and wanted to make as informed decision as I can.
@@jamesbrace8543 if not levelling then no 4 fine
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert awesome, thank you so much. If you’re ever in Sussex, there’s some smoked meat (on my IG) and a drink for you behind the bar!
Can you share a link to the groove making tool?

Has anybody used Field 29 for levelling and dressing?
Hiya Dan, Can the Field4 be used to level off dips in the lawn? Or use Field5?

Hey Dan I'm just curious why don't you use a top soil spreader and just roll it on the grass just curious that's all
Because a rake works and the spreader its so fine this material it wpuld fal through it, spreaders are sieves in essence for unrefined compost
Yes! My allett arrives next week. It's not easy to get it to alberta. Hope the snow melts, lol 😂
all the best with it,
I have a sterling 51 great mower. You'll love yours I had quite a time getting mine to manitoba it took awhile.
I used to live in Cold Lake ...... good luck !!! 😂
@chrispearson1439 lol, 16 degrees today, special weather alert ⚠️ in effect. 5 to 10 cm of snow is possible overnight. But hey, plus 4 tomorrow! April 15th. My allett is a sculpture in my office. Clean and green.
The worst blizzard I remember was in May 😆.
The irony, there is now a wildfire in Cold Lake !
Hi Dan, I’ve just completed my lawn by seeding it and covering it with compost light layer, I’ve woke up next morning to find worms all over the top of the compost is this supposed to be to happen or not will it affect the seed growing thanks?
It happens at this time of year
I think it'll be playoffs for you. Same with my club Barnsley. We built some momentum up at some point for the automatic spots, but the squad just isn't strong enough for a title challenge yet.
Dan, any advice on a heavily waterlogged lawn? My soil is clay-ey anyway so always struggles but this year has been especially bad with several bald spots etc. Would you recommend sanding/top dressing/re-seeding now or letting the soil dry out a little first? I don't want to leave it too late that's all and not have a lawn for the summer months.
Yeah still hope though for bolton if Wycombe can get a draw against derby on wednesday,
Yes you need my drainage in a bag, check it out on my website
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert I'll have a look. Any idea how much I'd need per square meter??
@@Cromwells_Wart 1 bag does 80m2 roughly but it a monthly thing for best results
Hi, should the description say Field Compost no. 5 as that’s what you used on this lawn?
Its just my usual writing which i copy and paste it gets you to the site thats the main thing
It’s very nice to see someone that seems to pride themselves in keeping business expenses down and not buying big fancy machines (smart) I’m a little surprised to see you with this new electric Allett! Those things are beautiful but expensive as hell! Congratulations
Like i said in vid after xmas at the posh job, ive not fallen from the sky and landed with a stirling, i bought my first push cylinder with my paper round money when i was 16 or so about 14.99 from Argos. Before that was using mums qualcast concorde e30, so ive worked my way up from the mid 90s
Thank you for the video. Do you use only compost? Is it possible to mix compost with sand to improve water drainage?
Did you watch the video??
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Yes, of course. But maybe I didn't understand everything, since English is not my native language, so I'll ask here.
My lawn has sunk quite a lot in areas what would you use to top dress? I can't even scalp it properly because of how uneven it has become
Field no 5
Just love your videos - useful, informative and inspiring - given me some enthusiasm to try and improve my lawns ...BUT can you put me out my misery and tell me what music is playing in the time lapse sections? Cheers and cant wait for the next instalment
If you have an iphone you have had it all along right there in imovie, its blue mountains gabriel witcher
@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks buddy, no iphone here. Just imagine how good your lawns would look if you filmed on a Samsung!! 🤣
Genuinely, you provide cracking content. I have even cancelled invitations to Ref matches so I can get on my own lawn!! Thanks 😊
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert tricky to find on spotify
Congrats for 40k 🎉
Interested to know if fields no 5 is a blend of the green waste and sand?
Also what coverage can you get per bag? I remember you saying no 4 went to about 9 square metres
Yeah its 4 and sand
Get about 4 out of a bag
Cheers Dan.
Will you be releasing a spring/summer pack on your site soon?
hi dan . im about to seed my new law but im conserned about coid temps at night (2/4 deg} will this affect germanation ?? should i wait a few more weeks . thanks
Upto you you know your area better than me
My lawn has bad infestation of leather jackets any helpfully advice dan
I lost our lawn this year to leatherjackets. Each time it rains I'm sweeping up hundreds off the patio. I must be into thousands now. Would love to understand more on how best to treat (beyond nematodes). I had an amazing lawn only 6 months ago, part of me feels seaweed and fertilisers made the soil more attractive to them.
I used the Barembrug seed last year you recommended. Would you stay with that to over seed or mix it up with the seed on your website mate ?
Same thing im not allowed to call it barenbrug by request of barenbrug
Sound - great 👍
Hi.. about to do this for the first time. Why not use Jacks Magic like you done before? Was about to buy it until seen your last 2 videos .Thanks
Where have you been for the last two years?
Just started watching the channel recently. Really enjoying it. Is jacks magic still ok to top dress , or have things moved on. Thanks
@@scobeno1911 things have moved on
Hi, posh fan here again( dont ask about the result against Carlisle as you know all to well from earlier in the season what they can do) im struggling with my lawn due to it being waterlogged soon as it rains, any advice?

Yeah they can turn it on, they beat us by same score. Everyone slipping up in play offs whiist lincoln coming like a train
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thanks for the reply mate, I'll go have a look.
Looks like I might have two trips to Wembley this year 👍 Posh vs Bolton maybe.
where can i get that tool you had dan🤓
I found it , so can you
hi Daniel do you have a link for your new gadget?
Just on ebay mate seek and thou shall find
What's the name of the gadget fella?
And get loads of Ants Nests !
Hi mate where do get your fleece from buddy ?
Garden shop on ebay
Nice work Dan. I can tell it'll be good. Wish mine wasn't flooded again - only 2 days of rain and .... Should be OK
Take care!
Maybe you could get that tool motorized? Seeding tool
Nar i like the workout
Can you scarify when it's wet? My lawn is boggy and I've read it can ruin the grass if you scraify when wet
If boggy prob not as your wheels may get stuck and you will churn the fcuk out if it
Does field 5 come with a recommended max depth?
I always apply so i can see the old grass poking through
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Other than top dressing do you think it's sandy/compost nature has a place in filling dips t(say 1 inch) hat have no grass but you want to seed?
Great video…can I ask where you got the manual aerator from?? Can only see spiked ones online…yours looks more robust than those.

Aww thanks…saw that link but didn’t go as thought it was for the large green seed spreader you were using.

Thanks @DanielHibbertLawnExpert can I also ask what brand of rye grass seed do you use. Thanks.
@@mikereece5949 its the extreme on my website
Thanks Daniel
How many bags did you use on 50m2???
10 i think
Where did you get your wee tool from?
can i ask what seed you use…?
Its on my website for further detail
Were they 25ltr bags of no5 you used and how many did you use
its weight by weight so would think it was 20kg rather than weight by volume in field compost. Not sure but if you count on the time lapse you should be able to guage, but i think one bag did about 1/2 what field no4 would do so maybe 4 m2
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks - this lawn is very similar to mine in terms of size and conditions so will be good to see if I can replicate as best as I can.
Can you put the drainage in a bag at the same time as seeding?
@@aivoryuk yes
Great video, thank you.
Can you use building or sharp sand to mix your own dressing mix?
No has to be horticultural sand or ph neutral
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thank you.
Why did you use a compost top dressing instead of a topsoil and why did you change from Jacks magic compost?
Where you been for last 2 years?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert oh ok, sorry, i seem to have asked an impertinent question. Apologies 🙏
@@Egonomical im just asking where you have been?
I am a novice gardener and have only had a house with 2 lawns for 6 months. There seems to be so many gardeners channels its been hard to know which to follow but i have watched a lot of yours but not all. Yours seem to be the best ones and i did a rennovation last Autumn following some of your rennovation videos which used jacks magic compost which i used and it worked very well but im doing the front lawn now and you are using Compost no 4 i couldnt find the video where you changed and so was wondering if i should stop using Jacks and change? The Field no 4 has a minimum order of 5 bags and i still have 2 bags of Jakcks. Hence my question. Your reply seem to suggest a bit of ignorance on my part which i apologised for as i have obviously missed something you must have addressed in tbe last 2 years. Again Sorry for asking what may seem to be a stupid question. I was just looking for your advice. Hope that explains. I do follow and watch your videos when i have time and they are without doubt top notch of all the youtube channels. Thanks Neil Evington @DanielHibbertLawnExpert
@@Egonomical ive not used jacks for two years it went peat free and full of crap so no good for lawns if you have a good batch then use it but i got bricks and all kind in mine so was no good, field is sieved down to 5 mm so pure stuff and peat free,

Slightly confused about the wetting agent ? The ground is saturated for at least 6 inches down......... so what is this for ?
Could of sworn i said in the video what its for
3 things
Softens the seed
Helps the compost absorb water
Helps water penetrate the sheet

@@carlsherwin5557 yeah the old groundsman killed it by accident few seasons ago didnt he as did swanseas, they were advised to put something on in your case because a pipe burst and flooded the pitch and this stuff was supposed to help aid water through the surface but only works if applied to the surface, your guy sprayed it on the water and it sat on the top and scorched the pitch, swansea used it with iron and then put the lights on with no water and they scorched it had to returf it mid season, they said it was disease but those in the know know what it was
Your spot on mate ,very knowledgeable keep up the good work mucker AKA grassmaster👍
Scotland got hammered by Northern Ireland. Not the Irish. Get it right Daniel
You know i wasnt sure who beat them i never actually heard the result just heard someone say the irish beat um
