I know earth worms are good for turf, but I have a bentgrass putting green in my backyard and they truly make me go crazy. In the spring I have to blow the castings every morning before I mow and then roll. It's cut at .150" so anything on the surface is very noticeable and very annoying.
Loved all the updates! Keep up that great work and thank you with helping with the renovation! I have learned so much valuable information start to finish!
Great updates! Can you briefly elaborate on your neighbor's watering schedule? After the grass germinated, when did he change to deep and infrequent? Now, does he water every other day or three times a week, 1/2 inch each day? Thank you Ryan!
Hi Ryan great 👍 video like the stripes on your lawn hear in Britain 🇬🇧 it’s starting to get cooler now I think I will have to do some more reseeding on my lawn before winter ❄️ sets in keep up with good work ❤️🇬🇧👍David
Which way to you prefer to spray those liquid products? I’ve noticed you have mostly sprayed with a back pack sprayer but at times you are using the ready to spray bottles. I feel the back pack seems to get a more even coverage and you can zero in on your product amounts a little better. It would be nice to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the inspiration to keep my lawn looking fresh!
Learning a lot from these videos. Did a thatch before an over seed. Figured out 12 days after my over seed I have a bent grass in the existing lawn. Now I need to figure out if i use Tenacity now or wait until spring. Also would love to know why in many in your videos you bag clippings. Always thought is was better to mulch instead of bag.
Your renos are looking really good! My PRG and KBG have stalled. I expected this from KBG, but PRG. I used SS5000 and applied their 19-26-6 starter fertilizer. First seed application was done on 9/7. I'm getting concerned that I won't have much of a lawn before our regular frosts start coming.
I believe I have learned a good bit from watching your videos this year and have decided to take on our 30,000 sq foot front lawn this fall. Hope I was paying attention.
You spread the grass seed back on Sept. 5 and two weeks later you have good results from grass growth. My question is the spoil spreader roller you used to evenly spread pete moss over the grass seeds. Did that have an influence on the success of your seeds growing so fast? I want to get me one of those soil spreaders to spread soil or pete moss rather than shoveling it and using a rake to spread it which would save labor and time.
Kansas would be in the transition zone. It could go either way on cool vs warm but fescue would be the most tolerant of the heat for a cool season grass
I have a large property just like the one you did. I’ve tried to grow pasture grass for the past couple years, and can’t get it to grow. Need your help!
Not surprised with your results. Question for you Ryan. I did my seeding first week of September and the grass is coming in nicely. I have a lawn tractor for mowing but have not not used it yet on all the new grass coming in. Push mowed so far. When would you recommend that I can mow with the tractor? Thanks in advance. Big fan from Canada Lol!
How quick do you mow the existing grass after you over seed? Should I wait a week or so before mowing so I don’t disturb the seeds? Or keep mowing every 3 days so the grass doesn’t get to tall? I live in Oklahoma and dealing with Bermuda and over seeded Rye today.
Hahaha, my lawn would make you nauseous at best. Weed city! We just sodded a new golf tee box area and love it. Would you do a consultation online to help us out? We need a 90% renovation in front yard and 100% out back. 1 acre total, in Hudson Valley Region of NY. If you lived here we'd hire you in a hot minute!
My seedlings are finally starting to sprout but now I have leaves falling from many trees. I need to mulch the leaves with the mower but isn't that going to harm the seedlings by walking on them?
Completely off topic but I just have a question I haven’t been able to find the answer to anywhere. I live in Alberta Canada and my lawn along with everyone else’s goes totally brown and dormant in the winter. My question is, in the spring do those brown blades of grass begin to turn green again, or does the grass grow new blades? It seems like the answer is new blades, because every spring I have a lot of dead material that doesn’t go away. I’m asking because I’m already looking forward to next spring because my grass is already going dormant, lol, and I’m just wondering if in the spring if I should just scalp all of the dead stuff off so I don’t get matting and don’t have so much dead material in the lawn. Thanks!
Does applying iron provide any benefits to new grass other than color? How soon after could you apply something like microgreene 0-0-2 or Sunniland minors blend along with regular feeding program
@@ryanknorrlawncare I just had fescue sod installed this summer and I've had damage in some areas due to fungus and seriously compact soil... M feels like walking on rock.... Was looking for a good seed to oversee with later in fall
Hi Ryan. Thanks for the Updates. I see that the Soil Humic link you posted doesn't have the sprayer. Can I just use a sprayer nozzle and use it in that bottle straight up?
I have a problem with earth worms in MN on my .75 inch KBG. I only have soil and have not yet leveled with sand. Have you noticed a reduction in casts since putting sand down?
Ryan. I've got over 2 acres and want to darken it up. Been using Milorganite but still want that darker green. Don't want to go broke and burn through 10 cases of the stuff you use since it's a large area. Any advice on which liquid iron concentrate to buy? I'll use it with my 30 gal pull behind sprayer.
Sorry if I missed it in any of your lawn renovations, but how much grass killer per 1k sq ft of lawn do you need? I use Spectracide concentrate in an gal+ hand sprayer at just over the recommended at 3oz per gallon that I use for weeds in flower beds, sidewalk and driveway cracks, etc. How much grass will that cover? I want to nuke my backyard because it needs leveling, water can sit for days, and it killed my TTTF over the last couple seasons and creeping bent grass took over. Looks terrible. Doing it next fall. 32oz bottle says 3k. How accurate is that? Thanks.
Hey, just found your channel. I am trying to over seed my lawn and, with a lot of trees which I love, I have a lot of bare spots and thin areas. It's a good sized yard and I am not energetic enough to do it by hand so do you know of a good scratch type rake that I can drag behind the mower? The one's I have found have the bigger/wide tines and I would like something with tines about the size of a steel garden rake to just scratch up the top 1/2 inch or so. Thanks.
Hey Ryan, long time listener, first time caller. Im over in NE and backyard seems to be covered with multiple snake holes...Do you have any recommendations on how to avoid this?
I am located just outside of Toronto Canada, anyone have recommended grass types for our climate? I was thinking rye grass as I like to cut my lawn lower with a manual push reel but I feel like I honestly should have tall fescue and cut it high due to the high summer heats. Love to hear people's recommendations.
I'm a little confused. Seems like I heard you say "With winter dormancy". With cool season grass...will it go dormant in the winter? It was my understanding with cold temps that the growth shows. I've always worked with warm season grass which I know goes truly dormant. Just a little confusing with cool season turf
Coming along nicely mate, great to see. I’ve started a small CZcams channel for lawn if you get time to check it out. Keep up the quality videos, love it.
Gonna be different for everyone due to location, weather, sprinkler output, etc. Don’t think time per zone just think keep seed moist (not drowned). So you may water 3x a day or 5x, just shorter times. Key in beginning is don’t let seed dry out. After you get germination and start mowing water normal again (deeper less frequently). Hope this helps. Happy fall.
Next spring your neighbors yard will look even nicer as the kbg matures and spreads. Seeing that 2 acre project eventually grow in thick would really be a sight to behold. It's getting there and hopefully the weather cooperates.

Great point on holding off on the edging. I do the same to let it fill in any gaps along the edge, when I'm seeding.
Congratulations my friend... you’re doing an amazing work.
Great work Ryan! Enjoyed the latest Turfcast as well👍👍
All three projects are looking great, keep the updates coming. Thanks
You are so meticulous...love your dedication, Ryan. 👍🏾👍🏾

Job well done Ryan! Your videos are inspiring. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭.
Because of you every time i leave home i'm watching my grass and talk to her🤣🤣🤣

I've been watching you quite a bit Ryan, and you are really great. I am using that Simple Lawn Solutions liquid fertilizer and Milorganite now.
Try tea seed oil for the worms casts works a treat.
im still waiting to seed! my soil temps are still around 80degrees. another 100 deg weekend coming up. will seed next week. zone 9b california
shocked how fast that renovation is coming along
You mentioned dormant seeding, could you talk more about that?
I live in Iowa. I has tall fescue sod that is very bumpy when mowing. I want to do some lawn leveling. Do you recommend sand to level or top soil ?
Use Penn mulch(seedaid) instead of straw. It holds moisture and breaks down unlike straw.
Depends what is free and this case, straw.
dude u need to get down to the golf course and check in to see what superintendants are doing.....just a thought 👍🏻
Wow, that black Iowa dirt looks like Arizona in this drought.
The reno's are all coming along! What ever happened to the other 2 acre project lawn u started last year?
So after germination. 0.2 LBs N weekly
Love the videos!!!
Loving the rye grass look. Is Kansas to close to the transitional zone for the turf?
For Rye grass? It's perfect for Rye or any other cool season turf.
Kansas would be in the transition zone. It could go either way on cool vs warm but fescue would be the most tolerant of the heat for a cool season grass

Probably at least a few mows in with the push mower. You'll have to just see how soft the ground is and let it dry out a little

Will you plant Kentucky blue grass in your backyard again and rip out the tall fescue
Not planning on it
Why is that
Great videos! I'm having sod installed next week. Is there anything I should apply before and/after they lay the sod??
Good job
Hey what happened to the other project with Simply Mander?
Drought. She has no irrigation so the lawn hasn't even come out of that yet
Watering two acres manually isn’t that bad. I manage to do it here
Does applying iron provide any benefits to new grass other than color? How soon after could you apply something like microgreene 0-0-2 or Sunniland minors blend along with regular feeding program
Do you have to change the height of the grass during the season? Leave it longer for the winter?
The fescue seed that accidenrtally ended up in back, would that work in Southern California with a partial shade/other more sun area yard?
Yes a lot of people in CA use fescue because it is much more drought tolerant
