Oddly enough, I seem to have caught the RK seed planting curse. It's trickled down to central Illinois and hit me. I planted seed a week ago, with only a 20% chance of rain for one day for the next week. I got almost 3 inches in less that 24 hours and rained some every day since!! Good times, good times. 🙃

Coincidentally I have started a renovation of my front lawn using your KBG! I started this project as a result of a new driveway and figured it was a good opportunity to fix some things in the lawn that I didn't like. So i put down some Glyphosate to kill off the grass when the very next day you released your episode about you killing off these plots for a KBG & PRG renovation. I took that as a good sign that I am putting into practice what I have learned from you over the past few years. Now I get to see my results as compared to yours side by side which is really a fun experience.

You've had really good results with the straw blankets, cool to see. I was nervous about weed pressure and went with the Futerra blankets and they saved me big time. I had to seed 17k sq ft of Midnight/Mazama in the Spring on a ton of slope and it turned out excellent. The blankets really held everything in place.

I love your content. But a lot of us after having watched your content for so many years would like to know specifics. How long did you turn on your irrigation? How many times a day? what was the exact fertilizer you used? What was the spreader setting you put on your Spiker spreader? For laying down seed. The reason I asked for that is a lot of us are purchasing the equipment that you’re using and we can approximately use the same settings that you use. We don’t like to calculate settings on our own if we’re watching programs like yours. Just food for thought. Love your content. Congrats on the new home!!
@kingposeidon9362 11 ай бұрын
Ryan included a link in the video description for the fertilizer. For watering a newly seeded (or reseeded lanw), know that the goal is to keep the seed moist (not soaked) so that it will germinate. How often and how much to irrigate depends on so many factors including output of the sprinklers, weather conditions (heat, humidity, sunlight, wind, rain), soil type, whether the sead was covered by blankets or something like peat moss. You do not want to let the seed dry out. This might mean watering 2 or 3 times a day or even more in hot/dry conditions where the water evaporates or drains quickly. How long to water in each session could be just 5 minutes or 20 minutes or even more (depends on the coverage and output of each sprinkler head). Here's a link to a video of Ryan's where he explains watering for a new lawn. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNN4ereqz7_cYok.html

Hi Ryan, i just purchased your KBG and excited to begin renovating. I had a few question tho. I have a problem with nutsedge and crabgrass and bought tenacity and sedgehammer . 1) can i mix the two together with a surfactant and blue dye to check where i sprayed. If no, when can i reapply the other herbicide without damaging the lawn 2)after using herbicide, when can i start seeding? i took a chunk off my lawn bc of the crabgrass so a majority of it is all dirt 3)do you suggest apply fertilizer before seeding or at the same time of seed? and how often should i be applying fertilizer? i live in NY

What'd you do exactly?
@esond 10 ай бұрын
@@soundofsilence21 Connor Ward has a great video on it. If you are interested I would watch it. But here are the basics: - Weigh out your seed and put it into paint strainer bags - Cover completely with water. 5-gallon buckets work well. You'll need something to weigh down the seed, as it will float. - Change the water every 12 hours. Otherwise the water can become toxic, or something. - When you're ready to drop the seed, get as much water out of it as you can, and then mix it into something dry to spread it with. I used mason sand. I won't lie, this was a pain in the ass. - Regular overseeding tips apply from then on. Cover it with something, keep it moist, etc. Rule of thumb is that 1 day of soaking will knock two days off germination time. I soaked my KBG for 6 days and had first germination in 5 more.
@soundofsilence21 10 ай бұрын
@@esond thanks, I started soaking my kbg today, plan on 5 days changing the water twice daily. I was going to mix with milo (equivalent) as a carrier and then add Scott's triple action for seeds. Should I be worried that's too much nitrogen? The carrier is slow release. Top with straw and keep moist.

I hold the view that introducing even a minimal 1% of Kentucky Blue Grass (KBG) could lead to it dominating up to 90% of the lawn within a span of twenty years, due to its highly aggressive spreading growth nature. Given KBG's propensity to overpower other grass varieties over time, it's advisable to refrain from incorporating it, particularly for Fescue lawns. Should the need to mix grass types arise, adopting a cautious approach might entail a subtle blend consisting of 95% premium Turf Type Tall Fescue (TTTF) and a mere 5% ryegrass. This strategy, particularly if the objective is to attain a luxuriant and dense Fescue lawn, appears prudent. It's not a Monostand but damn near it.
