CUTTING your NEW grass seed / Ultimate lawn restoration PART 2

Рет қаралды 25,672

2 жыл бұрын

cutting your new grass seed for the first time is the most important cutting action that you will do as this will determine how long your grass will be going forward, forget the 1/3 rule as this doesnt matter at this early stage so ill be blowing this out of the water, I try not to fall in line with old fashioned out dated phrases as 25 years in the industry mean ive seen it all and done totally different and look at my results.

Daniel I just wanted to say your lawn products are, in my view, the best on the market. I applied Stella and Galactic Green yesterday and the lawn is already (after 24 hours) looking greener. I used Equilibrium about 10 days ago and it’s already looking healthier. Now going to start cutting twice a week. Following your methods this is the quickest lawn renovation I have done. Great results

Really pleased with your products so far btw. Your wetting agent is very good value compared to others on the market. Also loving steller bio I like that it has low NPK, the grass has responded nicely to it and it has a pleasant smell of tea. Random question for you but if you had to go out and buy a new rotary lawnmower tomorrow what would you pick?

Daniel, I have watched all your videos now. We purchased our bungalow over 10 years ago now and want a show piece lawn and not a patch of grass for our back garden. The property was rented out for many years and the garden was not a priority for the numerous tenants. My wife and I both think POA got into the grass and it’s seeded with a vengeance over the years, we had a very well known company come in and scarify/hollow-tine and seed, top dress. The finished lawn was amazing for about a year then the dreaded POA started growing. I believe that the soil is full of POA seeds ready to germinate. Is there a way of overcoming this problem without ripping up the turf and starting a fresh?

Thanks Daniel, really appreciate you sharing your techniques. I'm following you renovation, started this weekend. Really enjoyed the process and hoping for similar results. Only comment would be that I was disappointed with the amount of stones / pebbles in the Jacks Magic. Took me a long time to try to filter out the stones and concerned that there will be some left on the lawn. You talk about the "original" formula of Jacks - did you have the same issue with quality of their "improved formula"?

With cutting it everyday, will you always collect the clippings. I’ve seen some people say they leave them on the lawn to act as a feed when they break down? Obviously don’t want to be doing that with a longer cut, but when it’s every 3 days perhaps, what would you advise. Cheers.

@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 2 жыл бұрын

Nope i never leave the clippings on this is how annual meadow grass takes over as in essence you are spreading seeds if there or any, and if kids are playing on it they will be covered in clippings and they get all over the house, so i think its a very bad idea
