Fixing the dirt before trying to grow grass is such important step that most homeowners miss. Glad you are getting a expert to help with this.
Great job getting Chris involved!!!! Now you’re going to have some grass!!!!!🎉
As each video appears, there's more and more projects to look forward to. Great stuff Geoff, this is going to look awesome when you are done,
Thanks 😊
Nice, a local dude that is familiar with the soil you got to turn it into something beautiful, give it two to three years and it's gonna be a landscape to be proud of.
Mr. B is smart, he gets somebody that knows what they are doing and then follows their advice. Dog-dog is extra happy to have all the company!
Plan the plan, work the plan, there is much wisdom/ experience in the council of those two men. Thanks for the update.
That guy was sharp. I could have listened to his knowledge all day, he was a good presenter. You guys should talk him into starting a channel.
Excellent Geoff. He gives the confident vibes of a true expert. I look forward to seeing him work your land. Nice job!
I like him, you need to keep him like you did Chris 🤣. They both know exactly what what there doing. Your 100% going to have grass soon. Bermuda would have looked great but it’s to late for that.
Growing grass yeah yeah, says Dog Dog…let’s get to playin’ guys. 🐶
DogDog had a great time.
Thanks for taking care of this one properly Geoff. Here's hoping you get a great outcome, it's the last bit of that land puzzle. Then you just got the small matter of construction to worry over. That sounds like it's going to be a biggie. GeoThermal will be good if it's done right, and it very probably will be. Be well.😉
finally a man who speaks to the dirt! wish i could put the aeravator on that after the compost, get it looking good!
Good move in the long term, you won't regret it! You have the right guys on the job, but you knew that already!
I Hydroseed for a living and what this man says is %100 correct. If you don’t get some organic nutrients in the ground first, the Hydroseed will take ,grow about a couple inches, then die . once it is no longer germinating in the Hydro mulch the roots will be traveling down, looking for nutrients .
Lots of exciting things happening at the farm.
Believe Ol Boy will hook ya up, and get ya in the right direction...
Need to go to all the horse barns around and get all the stall cleaning. With is compost. Mix in good topsoil with it you have grass in a week or two. But that's what he is going to do.
The dog was the main show. Crazy pup. :) Did anything get decided? :) Thank you and have a Bealy Good day.
Yeah. Going to spend a lot of money in September.
We had good luck drilling wheat and grass together. Wheat does good in cold weather..and holds. Rye is ok i guess. But wheat was easier to get. Broad cast the grass before you drill . Broad Cast it all all then ruckus rake it. Mix seed in with it.
Down here even chipped palm fronds break down in a year. But then we get more rain than you get up there normally.
Somebody pet. that pup!
She gets too much attention as it is🤣
Chris did at 10:26!
Geoff, you and Chris keep peckin' away, I picture your property is going to look like a picturesque park.👍
Plants require a certain ph range to grow well and really thrive. Out of that range creates a limiting factor to growth. Think of a short stave in a wooden barrel. The barrel will only hold water to the height of the short stave.
I have heard this all before. It works! We used a lot of fertilizers to bring back soil that was really sandy. It would grow corn, but there’s a lot of stalks and debris after 4 or 5 years of that crop. That stuff takes another 2 - 3 years to break down, but then, again with fertilizer, we could grow grains. That can be cut high to add more organics that break down faster than the corn stalks. Where we could, we would plant alfalfa specifically with a bit of white clover right after the corn. Grow it 2 years and once the roots were about 3 feet deep or more, we would till it under rotating about the top 8 - 10 inches of soil. Then grains or alfalfa would go back in. We could also plant the corn again if we needed the feed. We recovered a LOT of sandy soil that way, but as you can see, even with about 3-4 inches of real topsoil, the sandy soil took years to recover after the initial 2 years it would produce crops.
Gotta have fertilizer. Once the grass is established, it will deplete the soil nutrients from the compost sooo fast! Fertilizer of a regular top dressing of compost or loam will be necessary for it to remain viable for several to even 10 years before the grass will be truly self sustaining by mulching it. Mulching always helps but is not enough by itself.
Where I live now, there are sod farms. They look amazing, but are continually stripping topsoil when harvesting. When there’s only 8 - 10 inches of topsoil, you prepare your soil as much as you can before seeding another crop of sod! They use a lot of compost and loam to keep the depth of the topsoil consistent & stable. Then fertilizer, fertilizer. Nitrogen is applied with other fertilizers that promote root growth initially, then a heavy dose of nitrogen and whatever soil tests determine is needed.
What you are doing is definitely an excellent plan for soil recovery, but it’s not a “one & done” process for such nutrient deficient soil. If you can get some creeping grasses established, the erosion will stop and the stems catch the runoff building nutrients & organic matter, if that’s what is in the runoff. If the runoff is clay, it’s detrimental, it will start to choke off the grasses. Then you core the grass and add compost as a top dressing. The nutrients & organic matter can get down into the soil again stop it from compacting as well.
We recovered just over 2700 acres using organics (not compost, that was cost prohibitive and hard to find that much 😂) because the corn loves sandy soil with enough water (irrigation land) and fertilizer (tons & tons, tandem loads, every spring).
A side bonus to the grass bein established is the humidity will come up and help keep the area green. It just helps though, still gonna need water in the heat you have been getting.
You’re getting there Geoff!!
Gotta get all the people on Chris's channel, who keep mentioning chipping the trees for growing grass, to watch this, lol.
🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸 Good morning gents, such an amazing teaching video Jeff! Tyvm!! Heal the land as u go & it will give back 💯 fold. You&Chris honour the land ,love your land 🌲which is Y it doesn’t fight U ( no injuries) blessings🙏🏼🌹🙏🏼 to all of you
Geoff I just have to say you especially and also Chris asked some good honest straight questions and I do feel you had a good few very honest answers and I do not think you could ask for anything more than that, it feels like you are in very good hands.
Gonna be beautiful
Could put those chickens to work in some chicken tractors. It's definitely a slower method than incorporating tons of compost mechanically though.
Could try talking up a nearby dairy farmer into spreading some muck or slurry over it all too, that stuff will give the dirt a kick.
Man Mr Bealy Good I’m with you on this one I do believe this man could get it going for this part of the pond beautification act of 2023 and I think the way he wants to go about getting the soil in better shape to make sure it will hold up well and grow whatever grass you want to grow around the areas of pond for years to come I hope it turns out well cause it’s already a beautiful place and for now I can only imagine what it is going to look like (which is awesome) 👍😎🇺🇸NY
Geoff you need compost, composted pig, cow, sheep and horse chit. I would get a commercial chipper and chip,all the brush that Chris has generated and mix a couple of loads of chicken and Turkey chit in with the wood chips and you will have some very good compost.
There are poultry farmers in Oklahoma that take all the wood chips from the power companies and blend the poultry chit in with the wood chips, run a soaker line on top and cover with big heavy black plastic and every 2 months they remove the plastic and turn the compost, and in about 9 months they have good rich black compost.
Even Oklahoma City is composting brush from storm damage and have drop off location for tree limbs and yard waste like grass clippings and leaves, and they blend with poultry chit, and stockyard cleanings feed lot cleaning.
Very good rich black compost
That guys voice and laugh reminds me of Chris’s friend Justin.
Hopefully something will grow grass great video thanks Geoff
There was some warehouse construction where I worked and moving dirt left a lot of ugly banks. We sent a soil sample off to see what is the best soil enhancements we could add to get grass to grow. They recommended green paint as the least costly. The soil there was worthless. That was almost ten years ago and it still won't grow weeds. I don't remember them suggesting kudzu.
I can visualize the change and beauty now Geoff. Stay strong and keep on keeping on.
Good morning from mid Tn.
The best way i found to grow grass is to plan on using it for hay.
The moment you make that decision grass will cover the entire area.
So glad you got the experts in Geoff. The soil definitely needs work first to get a great long term outcome. Take care & cheers😊
Looking forward to the Geo thermal content!!
I know you know this but all the fertilizer will go into the pond. be vigilant. Cant wait for the geothermal. been pondering that.
Moon landings had more than that! :) Compost will make a huge difference is a short period for grass to grow. Heavy breathing gets you every time when the nose don't work right. Happy times.
Grass will make that pond pop!
Dog Dog is a star!
I lost one of my dogs yesterday. EMMA was a 12 year old Jack Russell.
Take care and God Bless!!!
Have a Bealy Good day!❤
Sorry for your loss. 😢❤
@@BealyGood Thank you
can't wait to see the compost being spread and seeding happening..
Rumor is that the duck mafia is funding a new excavator for Chris. 😮
Yup. Not sure what the rate was 🤔
Dog Dog and the Duck Mafia need to get doing more doo dooing
Lol" riding Chris's coal tails " made me laugh toooooo much, made me hurt lol , fun part of surgery 😅😅😅, thanks for sharing good luck with grass growing adventures 😅
Thanks! I hope your recovery continues to go well
At the price of a load of compost, it's no wonder you had to be a king or a Duke to own land. The Dukes of Zebulon :-)
Geoff, figure 3-5 years to get a good stand. This guy tells the truth! (I’m a Master gardener)
It will look great after you get that grass growing.
Liked this short content, as I’m currently in the middle of trying to grow-in some bare spots in our yard. Lot of things go into this effort. Always interesting to watch somebody else’s situation and how they go about it, etc.. thanks BG!
Very likely you will need a fair amount of lime to start with. Ph needs to be about 6.2 to 6.5. Having had pine timber on the site is a really good clue for acidity below 6. Lime it now to correct acidity and mix it into the dirt and put compost on top of that and scratch that with a disc. I have done this on pasture for livestock and planted cover crop to grow a green manure crop that was cut in to provide some organic matter and then planted a permanent pasture grass. Definitely not an immediate gratification project; but, yielded great results.
Look forward to see the results of this meeting of minds bro. Safe travels. Ken.
You have been encouraging the wildlife for the past year, will there still be enough habitat for the deer once you have created this new road and housing lots?
Yes. It’s only 2 lots and one is already cleared. The woods to the right of the dam is where the turkeys and deer come from. That’s 300 more acres.
Geoff, I heard you mention you are doing Geothermal for your house, good choice. I had HVAC business and did all horizontal bore here in Iowa. Trench method works but it is not as deep as boring, which is 15 ft where you are in a stable temp of 50, 55 degrees. The beauty of it is it doesn't tear up the area. You can go into the trees because you are under the roots, I've even had the loops run under the house (front to back) to keep it in the lot in town.
Dog dog needs a ball or a throw-rope to chew and chase when you have these meetings.
Ask Chris about all those riding arenas he's built. Maybe you could get some horse manure from there. Or someone with cows cleaning their barn(s). May not smell nice for a while but will look nice once it settles in.
Great vid!! Very Very informative!!!
Good luck, man. You really deserve some grass after all that time. :)
Thanks 😊
Hey ya again glad keeping us along for the ride. Just for thought, compost is good but also look for local that pulls from a ag soil. Second irrigation get a pump house run pipe and have connectors where you can plug into run the line for the sprayers then disconnect spray heads move on down the line that way no pipes, spray heads exposed when trying to mow. Much like golf courses do. But what ever you do Can't wait to see how this unfolds. Thank you so much
Great update, hope to see the changes and hopefully improvement later this year.
Did Dog is a comic just loves the camera, she loves being out on the Bealy Good farm.
Tall fescue's great as it stays greener & is disease resistant but bermuda grass isn't very disease resistant & also invasive.
That property will be so nice with some grass on it.
You could always unroll large round bales of hay and feed cattle all winter, that way they inoculate the soil with the proper microbes and also work the hay into the soil, Joel Salatin calls it the deep massage.
I like that method but would have to keep the cows out of the pond
@@BealyGood that's easily done with electric fence.
How much just to paint the dirt green ?
Yes sir, nutrients and microbes. Rotted manure or compost. Both work but compost smells better. Not sure on your local prices though. Around here rotted manure is really cheap compared to compost and the smell goes down after a few months and sometimes faster when you disc it into the ground.
As others commented, this is just to get a stand going. To maintain it will need to fertilize regularly and water in the dry spells or you will lose it again. Just some straight up 13-13-13 fertilizer with a broadcast spreader in spring and fall will do miracles, but if you want lawn you will want a weed and feed at least in the spring to help the grass and hurt the weeds. Basic fertilizer from the ag store is cheap, but weed and feed is costly. And if you can get bulk instead of bagged it is cheaper. On the one side you have the well so watering won't be an issue but the rest might need some sprinklers and pumps from the lake to keep them watered. But first you have to have the organics so the water does not just run off and has a chance to actually soak in. Like everything else it take persistence. And work. And money. And you can actually back off a little in a few years after the roots are well established. Till then it is going to be a chore.
Yup. Lots of work but once we had a solid plan , I’m good.
Good luck getting the weather right. Just go ahead and sod it that shouldn’t cost to much. 😂
Mr Bealy. Over Grass Plant, to this Time? Before Chris not complete is ready, and You self with the new House building , is on a Grass to Cultivate not to Thinking. And You must A Road to decide, and not Gross and Diagonal Drive. This to hold the best Grass not out. Greeting 🇦🇹
Only doing part of the property. As a test.
We used to use a seed blend called Sunny Turf, blend of annual and perennial rye snd red fescue. Big drawback, thr rye dies back in the heat, so Kentucky blue or Bermuda for the hotter times. Not sure how well it would work in North Cackalacky, though.
There’s a guy that works with NC State University, designed a summer mix that will put out next year
@@BealyGood will NC State use Bealy Good Estates as a test plot?
@@BealyGoodthere's some good folks that come outta there...😂
@@NCSUME1 occasionally 😁🤣
Can't grow grass on rocks. I will say I don't know about Bermuda seeding. I know if you use Bermuda sprigs, it will grow on red clay. I placed it on a steep bank of highway right of way. It was washed out and couldn't mow it, and I got tired of having to do string trimming to keep weeds off. I took a skid loader and smoothed it up. I planted two rows, one at the top and halfway down. I kept it watered and now mow it with my zero turn. No more washing when it rains. Good luck. You could water it from the pond and each day move the sprinkler.
What is the plan with the house lots? Family? If not, why would you ruin such a beautiful place by building a subdivision?
2 lots only. Paid for everything I did 🤷🏻♂️
Geoff, on one of your videos, could you explain the plans for the site, not sure if you have done so before. Heard things about houses, are they going to be family and you and yours or other people. Are they AirBnB etc, So in summary what are your current plans please.
Same questions I had. I hope Jeff does a video on it. Great suggestion.
What about hyrdoseeding the compost?
Peace and love.
What I learned from this video....DogDog has a lot of energy! Could he become the farms power source?
She . . 🙂
Well if talking about it made the grass grow, it would be up to your ears by now.
🤣🤣 gotta have a plan
Hmmm.
Needs compost, which you could have made and stored from trees and bushes from other jobs.
Easy to say much more difficult and expensive to turn into reality. We’ve discussed this several times on the channel
Put down compost then lay sod...instant lawn...🤑
Boy letsdig18 is always muscling his way in for more work!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Always 🤣
El goodo info Geo. Thanko youo muy mucho. lol lol lol
There are plenty of experts in the CZcams comments section.
Sounds like you have a plan.
Pond sludge will work, it work Chris pond jobs.
the lots chris is making now are they for family members?
No
Some cow manure, human waste, chicken manure, liquid cow manure injected would be great, cow manure on top would be great, disk in, soil needs broken up some...Great Vid
Got your work cut out for you Geoff. It’ll be beautiful when your done. If I heard correctly, it was 5 loads per acre for 1” thick. If you’re going 4” thick, that would be 20 loads per acre. Doing 4 acres would be 80 loads for 4” deep. Did I miss something?
Correct. 4-5 loads per acre. We’re starting with 25 loads for the area we’re doing first.
@@BealyGood makes sense. So many variables with top coating and the weather, you have to get it right and you have to have a little luck sprinkled in…. You’re smart to cut off the camera as soon as price came up, I know it’s going to be a costly endeavor but your options are few. I know it would add to the cost but you might explore some sort of fabric to cover it that would allow the grass to grow. NWS reports that it’s going to be a very active hurricane season this year and I’d hate to see a “gully washer” blow through and destroy your investment. For your sake, I’m hoping for the best of luck. You need a win on this one.
Dog dog is such a camera hog
Geoff, what’s happened to the ducks & chickens? Don’t see them much anymore 😢
There have been some bad days. I’m working on a video.
Howdy bealy good
Hey Tugboat
👍
You need some terra preta.
Hey Geoff! Check out the price of dryed shit instead farmers out hear use it! Lol I bet it would help.
he's a city slicker lol
🤣🤣
Trust Chris to tell it as it is lol loving the channel xx
@@BealyGood
I'd put deer food plot mix down this fall with kale, turnip, radish, etc mix from your local feed store. Too late in the year to get the grass you want to grow.
wrong fall is the best time of year for growing grass, been doing it for 40 yrs, you get light rains and cool temps below 80 which fescue loves...august in the south is a bad time of yr for growing grass September is perfect
@@user-yr5ee9vm9e maybe for fescue. Not for warm season grass.
@@user-yr5ee9vm9e Not Bermuda grass which would be the best for the site. It's planted in the Spring.
Lake pines has a good point, planting cover crops especially if you can graze them in place is a great way to build soil.
If compost is cost prohibitive, growing the organic matter and knocking it down and stomping it in can be very effective, like I mentioned elsewhere, if you could get a local farmer to bale graze, followed up with cover crops, it could be just the ticket to restart soil biology
@@user-yr5ee9vm9e cereal rye or annual rye grass will grow fine this time of year
You have got to start having longer videos. CZcams wants them shorter so they don't have to pay YOU AS MUCH. if you build them we will watch them.
Getting it done Soon :) lol
You better go to Medium pizzas and 12 oz vs 20 oz Mt Dew if Chris is out of breath chatting...
Went to zero sugar
more dog dog the better
Grass Expert: "I'm used to dealing with farms in this area with this soil type, and I use the term 'soil' loosely, its more like rock type. My expert recommendation is to use what (lemons) you got and build a World Class Competition Horse Shoe Facility, whatever you got here is perfect for those expensive professional sticky clay horse shoe pits, pound in some 4' chunks of No.4 rerod and you're golden. I'm sure many have told you to go pound sand in your life before, so now you go pound clay, same thing, different clay pounding day. The only other profitable use for this stuff is to bury radioactive waste in. In preparing for this recommendation, I read some of your viewer comments, the Rock Garden or Depression Era Dust Bowl comment seemed to be your only other viable alternatives. The only thing I can figure that will grow on this farm is a Chia-Pet on the window sill of your kitchen sink."

@@BealyGood Grass Expert 2, The 2nd Opinion: "In researching this parcel of land and house, I had to go back to it's original state and usage. I ended up watching 43 hrs. of 'Green Acres' focusing on the 'Haney Place.' Apparently Mr. Douglas was only able to grow gum saplings too, only he called them corn. I plugged the info into my computer and it indicated the best usage for this land was, 'Heavy Artery Range,' till via hard shelling."
