We didn’t know to ask… but THIS is the test we needed! I am so curious to see if that KBG comes back! I am changing strategies to overseeding with KBG for the winter. Rye screws up the Bermuda in the spring while the bluemuda looks amazing until the heat takes the blue away in the summer

☀Ooohhh!! That Iron Cutter!! I need some!

Ya, it's official. I'm sold. Thank you for this video man.

That Bermuda looks beautiful and very dark. I would be interested in trying some Bermuda here in NJ. We do have Zoysia so I would think Bermuda would work as well. Great to see you back. Congrats on the 3rd.

Whoa whoa that KBG is crispy! Wasn’t expecting that transition to the main lawn.

Bermuda looks great. Congrats on the third boy.

Looks awesome, Koven! I can't wait to sprig half my lawn with this stuff. It's going to save so much time and money in the long run.

Your hell strip of Mazama is what motivated me to go Mazama monostand, but now I know that it isn't the monostand that I wanted, I wanted deep dark green, low cut, blazing stripes, and swift repair. Mazama does some of that but repair it does not do well, it will spread nicely over time if your soil conditions are perfect, but the damage has to be babied quite a bit to bring it back, so my thought is rye mixed in I can just seed patch the problem areas and rye is so quick to germ that the repairs will be much quicker to correct.

Seems like a solid choice. Can’t go wrong with most newer hybrid bermudas. That color looked on point.

I'm interested in seeing how quickly the Bermuda checks out with the incoming cooler temps. It's looking great!

What up fello STL lawn lover. I have tall fescue in the front. Meyer zoysia in the back. And tahoma on the side. I’m loving the tahoma. I started from 100 plugs from Amazon this summer now I have a side yard. Bermuda is where it’s at for our area. The crazy hot STL summers fry everything else. I’d love to see the iron cutter compared to tahoma. I’m going to replace my fescue next spring and want to pick the best. I know heartland turf has it.

This Bermuda looks awesome. I have poor men's zoysia (seeded, compadre seed) and it's ok, but far from great. It's a much lighter green. The better cultivars may look better, but most zoysia lawns here actually look even lighter than my compadre. I have a sample of what may be Diamond zoysia and yes, that looks absolutely awesome, but that should be very cold tolerant, it's finicky but very shade tolerant. If I had full sun, I would definitely go with Bermuda. And the zoysia japonica cultivars (medium-bladed) zoysias have stiff blades and are not that good barefoot. Not terrible like St Augustine, but not as soft as Bermuda.

Wow didn't know Bermuda gets that dark. KBG needs lots of water, I know first hand and congrats to you guys on #3. Two more and you will have a starting 5 lol .

You made the right choice with IC over the soy-shaa.

Wow brother 😮

I did a Mazama monostand in my front yard, it was a real pain to get it to come in, a full year later and I still have some areas that just didn't want to come in robustly, my take is that Mazama actually needs very optimal conditions to thrive, in North Idaho here it is possible to provide that but only the areas that have perfect watering and soil compaction or lack of compaction being near perfect soil, in the ideal areas that are perfect conditions it looks pretty amazing, and it cuts low real well, but it is sooooooo finicky. Right now I am overseeding with 5 Iron Rye Mix from United seed. The Rye Cultivars are Fastball GL, Stellar 4GL, Slugger 3GL, Superstar GL, and Home Run LS. We shall see how the blue and Rye do together, my thought is they will complement each other, however, my research indicates that Rye chokes out Bluegrass eventually, that's what a study indicated.

Incredible. What part of STL? I’m in Imperial. I’m between this and Tahoma 31.

The thing that annoys me about Bermuda is it gets shorts and fescue does not.

Do you think that Ironcutter can handle half day sun or slighly less? My front lawn is North facing (Australia) and receives a lot of sun and heat except for one tree which kinda partially blocks it for about half the day or less. Considering Ironcutter or Zeon Zoysia but not sure and hard to choose. Love your videos on the Ironcutter as there are very few people covering it.

Hi Koven whats the pro & con on iron cutter looking to purchase some in upper transition zone 7b have Tahoma31 now for 2 years it’s absolutely awesome looking to have 2 Bermuda’s on property how does it do coming out of winter and any winterkill?

The KBG portion of my yard got disease and heat damage, it’s dead and not coming back.

MARCH Avg Temp 56 - Rainfall 4.60 inches (not enough) APRIL Avg Temp 68 - Rainfall 3.40 inches (not enough) MAY Avg Temp 80 - Rainfall 4.82 inches (not enough) JUNE Avg Temp 90 - Rainfall 1.79 inches (not enough) JULY Avg Temp 92 - Rainfall 12 inches (most of that ran off if it same down close together) AUG Avg Temp 88- Rainfall 5.78 inches ( maybe enough) SEPT Avg Temp 82 - Rainfall 1.61 inches (not enough) In summary did you get fungus and not treat it or did you kill it with roundup?

You DID NOT WATER THE KBG AT ALL if you kept up on the water it wouldn't have died

I'm out in Wright city! assuming you top dress your Bermuda (with sand) where do you get it?

Why not just get rid of the tree and have all bermuda

KBG needs 1 inch to 1.5 inches a week maybe more if you don't see any rain you're neighbors lawns look better than yours
