    Not to knock him, but his grass seed had a ryegrass in it, probably perennial, which is great,but that is what germinated so quickly, not the fescue. The purple base at the bottom of the seeding indicates a rye. However, it will help keep the the fescue seed in place and promote that germination.

    As someone who overseeded KBG, I'll admit that I'm jealous of a 4 day germination. Congrats on the new grass!

    100% agree with the quality grass seed. I over-seeded with Jonathan Green Ultra Black Beauty and had germination within 6 days. I did use Tenacity but mostly to control the creeping bentgrass that I'm dealing with. Hats off to the all-organic plan. Thanks for sharing your success.

    Hey, I subscribed through Etsy! 😉 It's good to see Jersey again and I can hear your area code 609 accent. 😊
    In one video it's so obvious you have a gift for creating beautiful ORGANIC lawns. That is so vital with climate change.
    We live way upstate New York now in the woods and we don't even have sidewalks or street lights and the scrub grass grows, well, like weeds. It's so nice to see your flat, green lawn. Beautiful work. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

    Awesome job!!! I’m throwing down Seed Superstore KBG in my backyard and TTTF in my front as soon as I fix some sprinkler heads. Already aerated and dethatched Labor Day weekend. Ask me how fun renting and using an aerator is on a complicated shape yard… Peat moss going down manually this year until I can make my own spreader. Keep it up!

    Hey I put down an 18-26-4 on seed day on a lawn Reno. So you think I should put it down again next week (Friday will be 15 days) ? It’s been 8 days. Also can you please make a video on where to Get Urea and how to put it down per 1k sqft. I’m a bit confused on the 0.2 pounds not N. I don’t know how to do the math.
    Can I just use the flagship fertilizer instead of spoon feeding? Help please. I don’t want to mess this up. TTTF AND 10% blue seed.

    • @seanrice7511
      @seanrice7511 Před 3 lety +2

      Generally speaking folks recommend putting down a second app of starter fertilizer about 2 weeks after seeding. If you have regular fert and can’t get more starter fert I would not sweat it. Throw down what you got as long as it does not have any weed killer or pre emergent mixed in. Don’t need to worry so much about the N per 1k during a reno / overseed. You will get into that once your lawn is established and you do a soil test again. Good luck, you can do it. Seed, fert and water and your 90% there.

      @tite732 Před 3 lety +3

      @@seanrice7511 yeah no meso in my starter fert. So technically I can continue to use the same starter fert. So do I switch over to a stronger fertilizer higher in N after 30 days, 60 days? Or just use the stater fert all the way until I run out into next season Lmaoo.

      @@tite732 nothing wrong with just using it until it’s gone for the 3rd application maybe in October sometime. That’s what I do, I find it does not stay granular over the winter so I just use what I got then switch. Just my 2 cents. I have KBG in Michigan so really depends on your climate and grass type.

    Not trying to be a dick here, but I gotta ask, if your lawn practices are so good by using superior products such as high quality seed and biostimulants, how did your lawn get to the point of needing to be overseeded? I ask because I'm an agricultural grower and consider myself a good grower and somewhat knowledgeable, but I have the same exact problem! I use great products and practices, but my lawn is less than impressive at the moment.

    I know you mentioned not using herbicides on your lawn, but why not go out and pick out the bigger weeds? Before I did my project I walked around with a grandfathers weeding tool and just plucked out all the weeds I could see. Still a few left but I’ll likely wait and get them in the spring at this point
