I went through two of these peat moss spreaders from Landzie. Neither one worked as the clips kept falling off and the door would open. They refunded me but it was mad frustrating
Ah, I see your link - ryanknorrlawncare.com/product/grand-slam-perennial-ryegrass-blend/ How many pounds do I need for a 7,000-8,000 sqft lawn? Please read my previous comment too. Thanks.
Exactly same situation here! Love watching his videos and suffered finding other good quality channels managing tall fescue. I'm really excited about this mistake!
When I heard Tall Fescue I literally said "oh my god" out loud. My wife was like "what happened?" I said Ryan Knorr just accidentally planted about 20 LBs of tall fescue into his lawn. She said "NOOOO"😬😬
Could be worse, I forgot I didn’t have trimec(for dallis grass) in my sprayer I actually had round up quick pro in it and started spraying my yard, it wasn’t till I started making a extra pass over some of the more infected area. Now a little over 700sqft is dead. Thank god we are plugging mine any day now
That's only 5,000,000 seeds. Think of how good you'll be with chopsticks when you're done. You'll be able to pick no-see-ums out of the air. Great new video!
Thanks for putting this vid up, Ryan. There’s solace in knowing that even pro’s like you can have missteps. Your entire community learned the same valuable lesson that you did, we’re all better for it - Cheers!! 👍🏼
Greetings. Thanks to the fact that CZcams began to translate subtitles, I began to understand what the videos were about. I really admire your hard work and perseverance. I planted the lawn in 2014 and made a lot of mistakes too. Very grateful for the information. Good luck! (Google translator)
@@trevormuggeridge4560 Good Monday morning to you sir. Nice day here. Sunny and 17 Celsius. My over seeding is doing well. Have you been getting any rain by you :)
Striperman, could get a storm today ,but could have destructive winds ,large hail and heavy rain. Probably get nothing but then again this is 2020 and anything is possible. 😳
I just planted some of Pete's TTTF a week ago. Just starting to see some germination in the shadier spots where the soil doesn't dry out as fast. My schedule doesn't allow me to water 2-3 times per day except on weekends so we'll see how my first overseed pans out in the next few weeks. But, am glad you might have some TTTF tips down road. Love the content!
Welcome to the blue/rye/fescue club! I’ve been throwing down this type of mix from hardware shop seed for years (just not the high quality), now I can follow a lawn program suited for my grasses.
I'm actually glad for your "mistake". I want a mainly tall fescue lawn but your channel is my go to for information. I am excited to see what you do with your backyard now.
I just ordered one of these 44” spreaders. I am VERY excited as it is my first big step into upping my lawn game with a tool like this. I have a brand new house and horrible soil. I intend to use this spreader to put top dressing on all 20,000 square feet of yard to help the new grass have what it needs to start growing before winter.
Ryan maybe you could do a video on how much it costs to do one of your renovations. So we the viewers could decide and plan if this is what we could do on our own property.
For loading my peat moss spreader this what I do. I have a cheap plastic tarp that put down close to where I am working and will open 3 to 4 bags of peat moss on it and break it up on the tarp. I found just stomping on it works best and fastest. I then use a shovel and 5 gallon buckets. Goes super quick and the tarp makes clean up a breeze and keeps it out of the landscape.
I have to say I started getting into lawn care this year but was totally uneducated. I tried planting tall fescue in spring and it all died in the heat of the summer. Then I found your channel. I started watching everything about fall renovations and literally followed your overseeding fall program step by step to the letter. It's been nearly 3 weeks since then and I have an amazing full tall fescue back yard and am very much looking forward to seeing what you have to say about tall fescue so though I am sure it sucks having this happen, many like myself will benefit. Thanks for all your videos you have transformed my lawn!
I started better lawn management this year. I only recently found Ryan's videos, given me some good ideas. Aerated in the spring, dethatch and overseed a few weeks ago. Been watering and it has recovered nicely. Think i have almost every grass type for the midwest. Zoysia, bermuda, tall fescue and ryegrass. I haven't summed up what i have spent yet. Pro tip: Track your fertilizer applications in a spreadsheet. Next year will be lawn leveling, its pretty bumpy. Thanks Ryan.
Ryan I saw the dogs in the video and now in the video you show us the dog potty area... I saved my lawn from dog pee spots... I added 150 SQFT of K9 turf to a a dog “run” off the service door of my garage. +95% of dog waste in my yard goes into the K9 turf not my living lawn. Sure I have a spot her or there from in the yard play time but I have restricted my two dogs access when still allowing them unleashed time. It is the best investment I made to my home in the two years I have owned it ($3,000 fully installed). No muddy paws in the Spring, easy clean up and with K9 turf and the Professional prep during install there is no smell. Rain “flushes” the turf and the dog run. If no rain I just hit it with the hose in the Summer.
Bulletproof? 😂 Don't get me wrong, I love fescue. I even have Pete's TTTF in my lawn, but bulletproof is the last adjective I'd use for fescue. Now, common bermuda... that sh** is bulletproof.
In southern virginia fescue goes dormant in the summer like Bermuda goes dormant in the winter. Most people just overseed their Bermuda lawns with fescue for a green lawn year round.
I’ve got tall fescue in our front yard, sissy grass out back, and couch on the berm. The tall fescue is the nicest. It tolerates our warmer weather and lack of rain over the warmer months. (We have in-ground irrigation) Watching all the way from nz
I hope you come to enjoy the TTTF as much as I do. I am actually going to seed an area with KBG only and mix some Blue Heat in my main front fescue yard. Fingers crossed.
I planted Black Beauty Ultra last year which is primarily tall fescue. It looks pretty dang good and this summer appeared to have more tolerance to the summer heat than what I had in there before. I just recently replanted another area with the same seed and its coming through strong.
I did a renovation using the SS1000 tall fescue blend from Seed Superstore about 3 weeks ago, so i cant wait to follow along. May not be what you wanted but I have many if those varietys and they look great!!
Cant wait to see how it turns out! Thinking about planting some tall fescue(on purpose) on my new-to-me lawn! Love your channel. Great source of knowledge and information.
I live in the north metro in the twin cities. I use Lowes Sta-Green the green bag. June 1st, August 1st, and winterizer October 1st. It’s got iron for the dark green. I don’t bag. I mulch leaves and grass. I pick up twigs. Mow high, and keep blades sharp.
I just became a subscriber and started my own lawn renovation process. Even tho I’m sad about ur lawn, it still motivates the heck outta me to learn from you. It’s cool to see u think and problem solve
I have st Augustine grass in Florida and very little of your content is relavet to me. Yet every video you put out I find myself fully enthralled and fully entertained. Keep it up bro ,can't wait to see the new house and long videos.
I started crying uncontrollably when I saw what happened to you. All of my lawn frustrations were triggered due to this video. I understand how deeply this hurt you. I have had so many issues with my centipede grass that I just don’t know what to do anymore.
"It happens" But now we will see a Tall Fescue series coming next year. My wife and kids thought I was crazy a couple weeks ago going outside at night to look at the germination with my flashlight. See? Ryan does it too! Good Luck with the Tall Fescue.
Mistakes were made on my end too. I double pass core aerated and cut low beforehand like 2.5in but didn’t not have time to dethatch so the canopy wasn’t very opened up like last year especially on dead spots. Weaseled a those spots but they were still kind of thatchy. I was low on time. Planted sept 12th at the beginning of a 14 day drought. 🤦🏻♂️
So the best way I have found to load the peat moss spreader is to actually take the bags and cut them wide open and dump them in a wheel barrow or wagon and break them up really quick with a large screw driver. Open up the door on the spreader and dump it in, yes, you handle it twice but I found it to be very efficient. If you have a helper busting the bags and dumping them in the wagon you will be so much quicker.
My first time planting fescue, first thing I noticed is the germination time is about 2wks slower than my ryegrass, but the biggest change is the way it's popped up. Seems like fescue comes up with two blades, or one blade with a second blade coming off of it. Rye is just one single blade. Anyway, can't wait. Welcome to the neapolitan of cool season grass homeowners
Ouch, that must have been a shock. Here I was feeling stressed that I got too little PRG for overseeding this fall (10lbs bag for 2647m2 of lawn) and I've waited so late. Sometimes we just have to live with what we got.
Yay!!! Now Ryan has TTTF, and will have good info for all of us Transition Zone guys. Can’t wait. Subbed! Don’t worry about the mix of KGB. Lots of people in the transition zone mix in some KGB on purpose to get some self-repair capability. That’s the worst thing about TTTF. It won’t self-repair at all.
I just finished doing a renovation on my yard, after 10yards of soil and 100 pounds of TTTF over half an acre it will be interesting to compare results.
I just had to reseed a big area that grubs destroyed this summer on my lawn, sprayed to kill them, I had the core aeration done last week. Finally got the seed down today. Used the KBG blend from Super Seed Store, used about 8 bags of Scott’s lawn soil to level out some low spots, seeded then covered with peat moss. Hoping the next 2 weeks stay warm enough here in Chicagoland.
Once used me missus moisturizer for shave cream wondered why it didnt foam up after a tube. Sometimes we just have to deal with the outcomes. Cheers mate great stuff!
So happy for you. Trick with fescue is water less and a strong fungicide program in the summer. Hope you didn't get it too thick with all that seed you put down.
Dang, wish this video would've came out a few weeks ago. I would've tried the TTTF myself. I went with JG BBU this time but I think in a few years I may do a full renovation anyways.. it'll be interesting to see how this turns out!
Haha nooooo dude. I agree, just go with it, I am very interested to see the look/feel. Plus what issues crop up. Plus, maaaaybe you like it? Just saying.
I just made the same mistake this spring. I put lawn patch seed with tall fescue instead of my kbg. I had to kill the lawn and start over. It is just now coming up. So you are not the only one.
Thanks! I just ordered 25lbs of the rye grass from your link! I’m all kbg here in the west burbs of Chicago and I had fungus issues too. Putting down propoconazole today and hopefully the seed gets here fast so I can get that down. Aerating and fertilizing already done!
Remember that video you did where you were behind the fence line pointing out a clump of green fescue surrounded by dormant kbg. You'll have less issues next summer. Besides, you can always overseed with kbg. The timemaster will have it's work cut out next season. Btw, I about lost it when you brought out the shop vac :0
Greetings from England 🏴... I am in Kent. Which is known as the garden of England...I had beautiful lawn and made same mistake as you . My wife said don’t do it and I did . Lol 😂... learn from you mistakes. God bless you my son 👍
I feel your pain, but this actually works perfect for me. I get all my lawn care advice from you and I am 3 weeks into establishing my own elite TTTF lawn. Welcome to the club!
Awesome! I just did that to my front yard on purpose. I look forward to your videos of the backyard. I watch your channel anyways, but now we have even more in common. LOL.
I like your attitude towards the situation. Just gotta lean into it and take it as it comes. You may like the TTTF. The only annoying thing will be having to change your deck height from the front and back. TTTF prefers 3.5 - 4 inches mow height. Excited to see how it all turns out. 👍
Crazy how things changed so drastically for you all of a sudden. Its gonna look great though. I actually think a backyard should be cut taller anyway. Not sure on my specific reason for that, but it just kinda makes sense to me haha. Good luck!
I was literally about to post that i was so looking forward to lawn rebel's comment on this, then you say you called your buddy CW and he laughed in your face about it. lol, exactly what I was expecting from the rebel.
I just seeded an area around a tree in my front lawn with perennial ryegrass, kbg, and tttf blend. The rye grass came up first and looks really nice and green. It filled in much better than what i thought it would here in st Charles MO. The spot I seeded was from weed infestation and i killed them and it left that spot bare. Looks much better
Sorry, but I’m actually glad to see some tall fescue content. I live in the transition zone (about 7hours south of you) where it’s hard to grow any grass. Plenty of CZcamsrs reel cutting KBG or Alan and his thick Zoysia grass, but not much on Fescue. Which is all I can grow and be green for more than 4 months of the year. Still, no matter what I do I get a fungus in my fescue in early summer then heat damage at the end of summer. So maybe you’re content next summer can help me!
First season DIY here. For some reason, thought my yard was fescue. Over seeded the entire thing with Pete’s TTTF 4 weeks ago. Now I know my yard was KBG. Really nice fescue, but now I have streaks/patches of lighter grass here and there. Oh well. Love and learn I guess.
We live in St. Louis and have tall fescue. There’s not too many good fescue videos so looking forward to your eduction and progress. Been following you over the summer and inspired to do fall tenacity, aeration, over seeding.
5:03 WOW man! Great consistency on your sound recording! Best I've seen! ...if you close your eyes at like 5:00, you won't notice any transition! I couldn't believe it wasn't voiced-over!
@@ryanknorrlawncare Well don't this all just come full circle then! I had to do an actual double take on that after I'd looked back, and found you'd teleported outside! Great work!
Honestly kinda looking forward to seeing how the fescue turns out. Plus you're advice on how to take care of it will be valuable for this of us in the middle of the country.
Thank you for these videos. Finally getting back to normal things like watching your videos lol Special thanks to you and your sponsors the producer, videographer & photographer.
Oh man. I can’t imagine how you felt.! Why couldn’t it have been accidental KBG and PRG hehe.? Good to see you are making the best of it ! Maybe we’ll see a big renovation for your backyard next year ;).
In Florida we put our prized cars in the garage and keep them out of the sun and elements. We back our pickups in grill forward at night like guard dogs on the driveways. Conner did that to your lawn by the way!
I live in the NorthEast and we are approaching the fall season very soon. I have some left over crab grass and was wondering if I should still spray it with Tenacity or just let it die off at this point. I wanted to try a late season seed if possible. You have helped me tremendously and for the first time in many many years I have had great success with your informative videos!
Great video Ryan! I’m glad to k ow you are human and make mistakes like me :) I did a overseed but I neglected peat moss spreading I worry about my old grass if it’ll push through. First mow in 21 days happening Wednesday thank you for all the great tips!
Oh man, if it makes you feel any better Ryan, I over applied Aluminum Sulfate to my backyard Midnight KBG and nuked most of the roots. It peels up like carpet now. 👏🏻
Boy l know that feeling but it happens to all of us in time. Hopefully ur lawn will turn out very good. Love that green roller got to get one of those. Thanks

Exactly same situation here! Love watching his videos and suffered finding other good quality channels managing tall fescue. I'm really excited about this mistake!
I welcome Ryan joining tall fescue owner family.
Recabilly check out Pete at gci turf/ not just a hobbyist but a pro
agreed, us tall fescue guys need some representation...
Its true folks... I laughed so hard when he told me. It was so funny
The way Mr. Knorr couched it you’d think he used Roundup 365
This makes me happy, lol!
This is a pretty hilarious story. I just hope it doesn't happen to me...
Not really.
Ryan your yard is like a mullet now, low business in the front, tall party in the back. Lol
Epic 🤣🤣🤣

In southern virginia fescue goes dormant in the summer like Bermuda goes dormant in the winter. Most people just overseed their Bermuda lawns with fescue for a green lawn year round.

Thank you very much for the tip on the Landzie spreader. That saves so much back-breaking work and time.
Ryan Knorr....A man of the people (the tall fescue people). I'm torn between being bummed for you and excited to see what's possible for me!
So the best way I have found to load the peat moss spreader is to actually take the bags and cut them wide open and dump them in a wheel barrow or wagon and break them up really quick with a large screw driver. Open up the door on the spreader and dump it in, yes, you handle it twice but I found it to be very efficient. If you have a helper busting the bags and dumping them in the wagon you will be so much quicker.

Haha nooooo dude. I agree, just go with it, I am very interested to see the look/feel. Plus what issues crop up. Plus, maaaaybe you like it? Just saying.
My mouth hit the floor. Thats an insane story! Excited to see what's next
I just made the same mistake this spring. I put lawn patch seed with tall fescue instead of my kbg. I had to kill the lawn and start over. It is just now coming up. So you are not the only one.
Thanks! I just ordered 25lbs of the rye grass from your link! I’m all kbg here in the west burbs of Chicago and I had fungus issues too. Putting down propoconazole today and hopefully the seed gets here fast so I can get that down. Aerating and fertilizing already done!
Remember that video you did where you were behind the fence line pointing out a clump of green fescue surrounded by dormant kbg. You'll have less issues next summer. Besides, you can always overseed with kbg. The timemaster will have it's work cut out next season. Btw, I about lost it when you brought out the shop vac :0
Worst case it's just a total reno in the back if it doesn't work out. Can't wait to see how it all goes.
Greetings from England 🏴... I am in Kent. Which is known as the garden of England...I had beautiful lawn and made same mistake as you . My wife said don’t do it and I did . Lol 😂... learn from you mistakes. God bless you my son 👍
Paragon 2 is very popular on golf courses, has great disease resistance and stripes like a champ.
GREETINGS SOLDIER, YOU'VE TURNED THIS VIDEO, INTO A THRILLER 😱
I feel your pain, but this actually works perfect for me. I get all my lawn care advice from you and I am 3 weeks into establishing my own elite TTTF lawn. Welcome to the club!
Awesome! I just did that to my front yard on purpose. I look forward to your videos of the backyard. I watch your channel anyways, but now we have even more in common. LOL.
Lol.. i just covered my whole property with K-31..love the choice for my application..✌️love the germination.. my little fescues.....
I love TTTF! stands up REALLY well to traffic and looks great with minimal effort! You're gonna love your happy little mistake!
I like your attitude towards the situation. Just gotta lean into it and take it as it comes. You may like the TTTF. The only annoying thing will be having to change your deck height from the front and back. TTTF prefers 3.5 - 4 inches mow height. Excited to see how it all turns out. 👍
Crazy how things changed so drastically for you all of a sudden. Its gonna look great though. I actually think a backyard should be cut taller anyway. Not sure on my specific reason for that, but it just kinda makes sense to me haha. Good luck!
wrong, nothing better than having an Augusta fairway. that's my dream at least
I have TTTF in my yard! So I am happy to see the progress you will have with your back yard.
I can’t wait to see tips on how you take care of tall fescue. Keep it going. Some mistakes happen for a reason. Run with it turn lemons to lemonade.
I was literally about to post that i was so looking forward to lawn rebel's comment on this, then you say you called your buddy CW and he laughed in your face about it. lol, exactly what I was expecting from the rebel.
I believe after he got done laughing profusely the words were, "oh my gosh that is freaking hilarious...."
If you fancy a change I would love to see Humboldt chewings in your front yard I think it would look amazing
I just seeded an area around a tree in my front lawn with perennial ryegrass, kbg, and tttf blend. The rye grass came up first and looks really nice and green. It filled in much better than what i thought it would here in st Charles MO. The spot I seeded was from weed infestation and i killed them and it left that spot bare. Looks much better
Sorry, but I’m actually glad to see some tall fescue content. I live in the transition zone (about 7hours south of you) where it’s hard to grow any grass. Plenty of CZcamsrs reel cutting KBG or Alan and his thick Zoysia grass, but not much on Fescue. Which is all I can grow and be green for more than 4 months of the year. Still, no matter what I do I get a fungus in my fescue in early summer then heat damage at the end of summer. So maybe you’re content next summer can help me!
First season DIY here. For some reason, thought my yard was fescue. Over seeded the entire thing with Pete’s TTTF 4 weeks ago. Now I know my yard was KBG. Really nice fescue, but now I have streaks/patches of lighter grass here and there. Oh well. Love and learn I guess.
Looking forward to your rhizomatic tall fescue adventure. Looks like an awesome bag of fescue.
We live in St. Louis and have tall fescue. There’s not too many good fescue videos so looking forward to your eduction and progress. Been following you over the summer and inspired to do fall tenacity, aeration, over seeding.
Btw - went with winning colors seed. Has anyone used it?
5:03 WOW man! Great consistency on your sound recording! Best I've seen!
...if you close your eyes at like 5:00, you won't notice any transition! I couldn't believe it wasn't voiced-over!
I have a degree in audio :)
@@ryanknorrlawncare Well don't this all just come full circle then!
I had to do an actual double take on that after I'd looked back, and found you'd teleported outside!
Great work!
Honestly kinda looking forward to seeing how the fescue turns out. Plus you're advice on how to take care of it will be valuable for this of us in the middle of the country.
My favourite part about sowing new seed, is going out at night with a flashlight when it's starts to germinate.
Thank you for these videos. Finally getting back to normal things like watching your videos lol
Special thanks to you and your sponsors the producer, videographer & photographer.
You mean me myself and I?
Oh man. I can’t imagine how you felt.! Why couldn’t it have been accidental KBG and PRG hehe.? Good to see you are making the best of it ! Maybe we’ll see a big renovation for your backyard next year ;).
In Florida we put our prized cars in the garage and keep them out of the sun and elements. We back our pickups in grill forward at night like guard dogs on the driveways.
Conner did that to your lawn by the way!
Another great video! By the way, I just finished your book. Super well-written and I love the integration with CZcams. 🌱👍🌱
Love my tall Fescue, I always have a mix of grasses in my lawn. 20% Pacific NW blends for my area and 80% Tall fescue.
I live in the NorthEast and we are approaching the fall season very soon. I have some left over crab grass and was wondering if I should still spray it with Tenacity or just let it die off at this point. I wanted to try a late season seed if possible. You have helped me tremendously and for the first time in many many years I have had great success with your informative videos!
Great video Ryan! I’m glad to k ow you are human and make mistakes like me :) I did a overseed but I neglected peat moss spreading I worry about my old grass if it’ll push through. First mow in 21 days happening Wednesday thank you for all the great tips!
I can’t wait to see the drone shots of the stripes on 5” tall fescue 😅
2.5" pal
Good to know the challenger is still around. 👍
Oh man, if it makes you feel any better Ryan, I over applied Aluminum Sulfate to my backyard Midnight KBG and nuked most of the roots. It peels up like carpet now. 👏🏻
Nice now we have the same seed. Can’t wait till next year so I can see how you take care of it.
GREAT video! Too much fun and, of course, real pro editing. As always, thanks for sharing! And I can't wait to see the adventures of Tall Fescue!
Boy l know that feeling but it happens to all of us in time. Hopefully ur lawn will turn out very good. Love that green roller got to get one of those. Thanks
Ryan, with those elite cultivars you will be able to mow it pretty tight for TTTF. Possibly 1.5" or lower.
