Grow Grass Seed in ONE DAY - Pre Germinate it in a Bucket

Рет қаралды 300,481

7 ай бұрын

Pre Germinating seed has worked well for me over the last few years. Maybe I'm alone here but I get tired of waiting for grass seed to germinate when it is out on the ground. I also HATE moving a sprinkler around 4 times a day for 2 weeks waiting for grass seeds to sprout. So spending a few minutes a day rewetting the seed instead? yes please!

Some more tips for you. Use very warm water to soak your seeds for 24 hours and then also when you dip your seeds everyday also use very warm water. I have a porch that is 70 degrees even temperature unlike outside where it will fluctuate. I did the pre germination process inside my porch. i did a 4 pound bag, used a steel weight to hold the bag down. I used cheese cloth instead of a paint strainer bag ( cheaper but also a bit more work as you have tie it up in a knot due to no draw string ) After the 24 hour initial soak i place 2 small wood blocks 6 inches high in a empty bucket. after soaking the seeds and for the after the water dip every 24 hours after that i placed the seeds in the bucket with the wood blocks ( or any other object that will keep the seeds off of the bucket bottom). This allows the water to drain and keep the bottom layer of seeds as dry as the rest of the bag. Oh and i changed my water every 6 to 8 hours on the initial 24 hour soak. That water turns such a nasty brown color that every time i changed water the water was very very brown. My seeds germinated in 4 days. I then mixed the seeds with peat moss as the peat moss is very dry and will soak up the water from the seeds. Peat moss is very cheap and the brown color of the peat moss easily contrasts with my soil to easily see how the seed is spreading. i spread the seed by hand.

Another trick to use, start one bucket with only 1lb of seed first, two days later do the rest of your buckets. Keep an eye on the first bucket looking for seeds to germinate. This will give you a 1-2 window knowing when to spread the seed just before germination.

For what it’s worth, with my seed I never saw white poofs or the white strings of early roots - rather, after 5 days saw the faintest green shoots start to show up and thus immediately put it into the lawn. Fingers crossed how it works :).

Fail. Well at least no gain. I did 2 grass types one bag of Fine fescue 2 of Rye. Did full 24 hour soak. Then dunk for minutes every 24 hours after. Dunk was with hot tap water. After about 8 days sprouts from section of the Rye. Nice. Dryed seed out over an afternoon, then manually spread. 8 days later very starting to see germination. This is exactly the same as non pre germination. I have watered as per normal. What have I done wrong. BTW still doing the fine fescue. 15 days later no sign of germination in bucket. Also anyone else experienced terrible odour ?

So if I am understanding the watering schedule is it: 1: fill bucket full of water let seed soak for 24 hrs 2: drain bucket let seed dry for 24 hrs 3: fill bucket with water for about 10 minutes and then drain and let it dry for 24 hrs 4: repeat step 3 for the remainder of the pregermination Sorry was a little confused at the end

I have cheesecloth bags for this. They have strings to tie them. Lots of people laugh at doing this, however its worked really well for me. Great video, thanks for talking about the milo method, the drying it out method, and what happens when you go to long. The seed is a lot hardier then some people think.

@user-jm9bq8sx6x 3 сағат бұрын

Looking at the amount of seed you're trying to germinate I can see where using an automated spreader is necessary. I have a much smaller lawn and I found that doing the spreading " Johnny Appleseed " like was very effective because I could get more into spots I felt needed more. I did the same spreading technique using Happy Farm soil amendment instead of peat moss and the results have been beyond excellent. I simply water twice a day , morning/late afternoon, for maybe 20 minutes for 3 weeks, and then every other day for two weeks with same intervals and time. The new growth appeared in 3 to 4 days after first spreading and just kept on growing nicely. I'm in zone 7, West Texas, and the grass blends very well with the bermuda/fescue I currently have. What I would recommend is that all weeds and undesirables be removed before spreading. I used Phydura which is totally organic and allows seeding 72 hours after applying. My undesirable growth was Johnson grass and that Phydura wiped it out completely without killing anything else around it. Never seen a herbicide be that effective yet safe as far as children or pets are concerned after just 72 hours with absolute devastation of that Johnson grass. This method of germination is fantastic because it reduces labor and water to get a much better result.

if you want to germinate your seed even faster . soak your seed in liquid seaweed , a 0-0-4 or a 0-0-1 would be good. the liquid seaweed will act as a RGS. follow the the label for seed germination dilution ratio. the 0-0-4 i use needs only half an ounces per 5 gallons. but i have used a 0-0-1 and that needed 5 ounces for 5 gallons. just thought ill share what i do to get great results fast.

I find the easiest way to dry it is on a trampoline. I have several old trampolines that I got for free that I use to dry grass clippings that I store for winter feeding of my geese, chickens, pigs, and rabbits. Once dry, it is easy to take a board or squeegee to pull it all into piles at the edge of the trampoline, and dump into containers to go spread. I also do this with seed for my wildlife food plots and for winter rye (grain) on small plots. Mix the seed with either topsoil or fine sifted compost and put it in a roll around compost spreader.

So what’s the recommendation on where you keep the buckets during this process? The amount of sun will impact how fast the process works, but too much sun might be bad. Would it be better to have a controlled environment and just keep them in the garage between watering? That’s like a $100 worth of buckets😮 Thanks

@butchgreene 29 күн бұрын

The number of buckets is stupid expensive. Especially considering half of them can never be used for anything else b/c of the holes. And per Milorganite website, seed needs to be in 65-72 degrees and a dark environment, not light. Also, the reason his bags don’t germinate properly when he left them is the seed releases toxins into the water. If you dont don’t change the water out every 12 hours, the toxins stop the germination process. So if you use his “re-wet” rather than submerge suggestion, make sure to move the water fully through the center of the seed mass

This video is awesome, I'm going to try this. I want to spread clover (you heard me) and grass seed in my yard... I live in Florida and ferral chickens roam WILD here, if I throw seed out they're out there eating most of it before it can sprout, I think this will give it a good chance to survive. I hope anyways... I still think you could benefit greatly from a nice drip irrigation or some kind of timed in lawn system. I think for a couple hundred bucks you could make your lawn autonomous... but also I recognize you love the effort/reward benefits of doing it manually and keeping an eye on it.
