Thank You for your informative comparisons. They are the most thorough and best illustrated primers I’ve seen.

excellent comparison - thanks very much! I'll stay with TTTF for my north Alabama lawn

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Very informative and helpful.

Awesome! Just the info I was looking for.

Thank you for making this video. It answered many of my questions. I subscribed as a result. 👍

Really helpful practical comparison, thank you

Great video man packed with useful info! Can't wait to see how the bermuda one turns out. I thought I was already subbed to you. Just mashed that sub button. Keep up the good work!

Great review! Thank you!

new sub here, thanks so much. Fortunately I can buy premium fescue for the price of KY31. And it has 3 lateral spreaders in the mix. First year for it so I hope it performs well.

Great video really helpful man!

Fine fescue is a great mix in seed, it does better laying up against a sturdy blade and being shaded out by those taller standing bigger growing blades. They are so fine that that actually works in terms of blending, it is harder to notice.

Great explanation, I was trying to choose between. Since I live in central CA with heat and like a softer feel; easy choice now

Really helpful. Many thanks.

Going to aerate overseed and fertilize the heck out of my one acre in the fall with tall fescue!

New subscriber and I love your highly knowledgeable videos. Do you know of any grasses (or other ground cover) that can crowd out, or out-compete K-31? Also, could core aerating or mulch mowing be spreading K-31? I mow weekly, rarely see seed heads. For everyone just learning about K-31, let me tell you, it is a lawn enthusiasts worst nightmare haha! My story: I labored hard to sod in a pristine, smooth, soft bladed lawn when I bought my house 7 years ago. I started to notice a few of these clumps popping up about 3 years later and naively spot treated them with selective herbicides (thinking they were just some type of crab grass) and didn’t pay too much attention. A year later, the clumps were multiplying exponentially, despite me learning that non-selective herbicides/full removal are required. I’ve aggressively removed clumps, re-seeded spots and and overseeded the lawn for the past 3 years, but it’s not enough, and the stuff has now consumed 40%-50% of my lawn! We love playing with our little kids in the yard, but with bare feet, this stuff feels like walking through a rubbish pile of pokey sticks/twigs/shrubbery (okay slightly softer than that, but just slightly). From a distance, it looks like an okay green lawn and thrives with low maintenance, so it’s good for areas too large to maintain as a pristine lawn; and good for those who only have a lawn to appease the neighbors and for their dogs to have a place to relieve themselves. It’s hideous otherwise, in comparison with a well manicured lawn. For those who actually use their lawn, who love feeling cool grass beneath their feet and lying down on their own little luscious piece of paradise-this stuff is GROTESQUE, like the cancer, black mold, or Satan of turf haha.

Very informative and thorough. Would love to see a comparison of Rye, Fescue and KBG. Future video? 😀

What started my lawn journey was accidentally over seeding k31 thinking it was kgb. Looked like grassy weeds in my lawn.

Thanks for you great information

Great info thanks for sharing. Our local farm store really likes to push K31 but I lean towards TTTF. What do you recommend for us Kansas folks? PRO TIP: Turn off auto focus LOL. thanks for your time.

90% of homes in Indiana ky and Tennessee is ky 31 9% is buermuta and 1% blue grass nice video built a new home 2 years old now in Tennessee my dirt is so bad I can't get ky 31 to grow it's about 300 different types of weeds I've tryed everything

I purchased a turf type tall fescue mix this spring from my local grass seed company. It consists of Houndog 8 Turf Type Tall Fescue and Chantilly Creeping Red Fescue. It is recommended the mowing height to be max 2” but most people leave it around 3”. What is your recommendations? Thanks!

I use K31 in my pasture I measured a blade 26 inches long.

I have a pretty small yard with two dogs. I know I have to keep them off for a while. Which grass seed would you recommend between the two? Also in the TN area.

Cool so K31 is better for drought! Here in SoCal. temps in the day is 90-105F. And at night 76F.

Hi, Can you make a video on how to prevent clump fescue?

K31=field grass. TTF=lawn. TTF cuts my water bill in about 1/3-1/2 compared to neighbors with all Blue Grass. Also when dry it does not turn grey like Blue Grass. I recommend Grass Pad Heatwave.

Would you plant the grass from your pots directly into a bare spot in your lawn?

Free K31 for a lawn Refuse to take!

I’m putting down 60lbs of coated k31 and 20lbs of turf mix on my 64’x64’ back yard.

I know Kentucky 31 has somewhat fallen out of favor but I still love it and have a great lawn based on it with some other varieties mixed in. A great tough low maintenance lawn.

Where did you get the tttf seed from?

If I recall wasn’t Ky31 fescue developed to be a hardy grass for use alone roadways where heat and salt and heavy wear was expected. Needed to be thick and dense to assist in chocking our weeds as well.

Great video buddy. How long of time do you see turf type tall fescue roots getting down 3" into the soil of your pots, compared to Perinnial rye grass seed?

Love u for this lol

Thoughts on Black Beauty Ultra from Jonathan Green? I’ve had good luck over the last four years of overseeing. However, I am still fighting the monster clumps of what seems to be KY31. Big thick blades, and very dense clumps.

Is it just me or is ky31 making a resurgence lately? Even though I don’t care for it personally lol. Good video man, learn something new every day!

Well dang! I wish I would have looked into this more before overseeding with KY31🤦‍♂️

@turf mechanic I am curious what your thoughts are on RTF (Rhizomatous tall fescue) by Barenbrug?

What type is best for hot dry central California? ( rental property so, I'm not trying to spend a small fortune on grass seed) I've tried several different kinds. I usually go to lowes or home depot. about 1500 square feet

I recently planted this seed in Mass, I did it more because the weather was very hot and killed my grass this past summer. Now that I have seen this video I wish had planted Kentucky bluegrass like I wanted. Do you recommend that particular grass, because my kids, dog, and me use our the yard very much.

I'm getting ready to plant about 10,000 sq. ft. of Kentucky 31...its an area that just needs 'something'...and inexpensive is better for me. My issue is covering it with straw...is that totally necessary? I intend on watering it until its fully grown, but the straw would end up costing way more than the seed. What are your thoughts on straw over seed?

how soon after over-seeding with tall fescue can you mow the lawn? Tomorrow will be three weeks since I over-seeded and its growing in quite nicely though in some spots its just starting to grow but in most areas growing and filling in those bare spots.

Is Ky 31 the same as “bluegrass”? A lot of builders put down sod in our area (SWOh) & we’re told it’s bluegrass. Starts turning brown with of lack of rain.

I hoped for a closer shot, especially from above.

good

does one stripe when mowing better than the other?

planted kbg here in n.ireland, 9 days germinated! in pot that is outside. im shocked

I love your presentation & am learning a lot I wanted to know. However I am struggling due to: 1) no LEGIBLE LABEL on each pot, 2) being unsure whether the pots are in the same order as the video title which appears just below, 3) your frequent pointing to a pot saying “this v that”...instead of “Kentucky” v “Turf” and finally 4) it doesn’t help that I have a R-L Dyslexia disorder. I am taking notes (making myself a chart) & every time I look down, I risk missing your pointing cue. I will watch this video multiple times before I master the information. Thanks so much, Brian! I will keep watching! Jane

IM INTERESTED IN KNOWING ABOUT TT RHIZOMATOUS FESCUE FOR A VERY LARGE YARD MOSTLY SUNNY IN MID MI.

What type of tttf seed did you plant? There is bad ones and good....and hundreds to choose from?

Soooo what if some one spread 8k sg ft bag on a 1500ish sg ft lawn

I need to grow that for my cats on the catio

What's the cut height for turf type fescue?

If my yard is k31, can I overseed with tttf or should I just stick with my k31?

Which turf type tall fescue would you recommend??

Kentucky 31 is cheap. I run Falcon V but for the cost, I would have just gone rye or k31 doing it again. If I lived in a suburb and people actually saw my lawn I could see why you'd want to spend the extra money.

Please tell me, what is the minimum height to cut this grass?

How much seed of the 31 should be good enough for 1 acre pasture

I’m kinda wishing I did Kentucky 31, I’m poor and can’t afford to water like I need too.

i have hard time to find a place to buy Turf Type Tall Fescue

Nice explanation. I thought K-31 was for horses 🐎.

I overseeded 50#s of Kentucky 31, not a single bit of it germinated, guess I'll try again in the spring.

DO NOT PUT K31 IN YOUR LAWN! Unless you keep cows or goats in your yard. Pay the money for quality grass seed. It will save you money over time.

Can't imagine the amount of buyers purchasing K31 thinking it was KBG without reading the label. "Look honey, this must be bluegrass with 31 flavors like Baskin Robbins. Lets buy a big ole bag and spread this multi variety bluegrass. Well have the best looking yard in the hood. Wee dogie!" Post germination. "WTH is THIS?" :/

Kentucky 31 is for animals forging. Goats,cows,horses etc.

Kentucky 31 has always been, in my opinion, a good tough grass pasture grass, but for lawns? 👎
