I'm about to order the Elite Perenial Rye(X3). My question is how does it hold up to larger Zero turn mowers? Killed off my grass 5 days ago. Just watered and in process of doing another killing. I'm in S.E.Michigan. just ordered 15 yards of screened top soil for leveling purposed. Also am installing a Orbit 12 head irrigation system. Grass will be fine on its own, I worry about the mower. I need a larger mower cause I cut for a few of the elderly and sick in my neighborhood

Ryan, you freaking consistently ROCK! Exactly what's been going through my mind lately. Trying to resurrect my patchwork of lawn and weeds thanks to previous owner. Slow improvements through various methods that you have covered. (weed kill and soil testing, etc) Now my issue is the patchwork. Various patches of various seed from rye, fescue, fine fescue and even KBG. KBG is very tough thick carpets although just little 6' dia spots with one 100 sq ft spot on 2 acres of generally full sun. (Sorry for long winded.) Can I just over-seed the crap out of my lawn in the fall and spring with tall fescue and fine fescue in the shadier areas? My colors variance is abhorrent! (Upstate NY) I keep it at 2.75 up to 3.5 in the hot summer. Just want nice even color.

It would be nice to see some Bentgrass testing since I imagine it is way easier to grow than it is here. Even at 1/2” it looks great. It’s super dark at that height

Completely new to this channel and grass in general: We are finishing up developing our property and I am trying to figure out what would be the best option for grass. A couple notes: - There is already existing grass covering most of the property (no idea what it is - it was a hay field. Is there seed that we can lay down that will take over what is there? - We have a big dog who loves to run around and play fetch. Especially when the ground is wet, he can tare up a yard pretty significantly. Is there a recommendation for a hearty, strong rooted grass that might be a bit more resistant to this, or recover quickly? - For the most part we have no shade. - We are located up in Northern VT. - We have a high water table (about 3') and in the spring it can be pretty spongey. - I am not looking for anything fancy (stripe mowing, etc.) I just want something that will look nice, feel nice, and is lower maintenance. - My wife has some chemical sensitivities (and of course we have the dog) so I don't want to have to use weed killing products. Hopefully my ignorance isn't making this post too dumb (it might sound like I want a miracle solution), but I just want to know what would work best for us. Thanks!

@Joshgats20 Жыл бұрын

Great Video Ryan. One of the interesting things you said that is so true is that Perennial Rye is the darkest type of grass out there. That is a major paradigm shift for people that think only a midnight type monostand is going to be as dark as you can get. I have tried it side by side next to compact type midnight KBGs like Bluebank, Award, Mazama, Midnight etc, and the Rye was not only darker but also more “blueish”. With that being said not just any old ryegrass is going to be that dark. But the newer high rated ones in the NTEP like Pangea, Slugger, Grand Slam, Amazing A+, Steller, and Prominent have phenomenal color. I still believe overall KBG is the superior grass type due to its disease resistance, texture, and year after year resiliency. But if you can keep you rye disease free and mow it low, it can give you a breath taking lawn.

Hey Ryan thanks for this info! I have a question that hopefully you could help with. I had new sod put in last November in my backyard. It was celebration Bermuda overseeded with rye. I live in the middle of CA with very hot summers. When it was planted up until mid March it looked amazing, but during April-June and now July the rye grass really struggled and I think it also got some fungus damage in the area that gets a lot of shade. There was a large die-off in this shady area and I was able to pull the grass right out of the ground with very little effort. I was told I would need to overseed each fall for a few years due to the spreading of the Bermuda and now with a portion of it dead I'll for sure need to overseed. My question, though, is should I overseed with ryegrass again since it faired so poorly and as you noted it doesn't really like the heat anyway, or should I create a Bermuda/fescue blend instead?

Penn State Blend is Perennial Rye, Red Fescue and Kentucky Blue grass mixture. Why these 3 ? They are very similar in blade size and also in color. What happens is, this mixture is "Self Adjusting" for full sun to full shade. One will grow better than another depending on Sun Level, but you really won't notice any difference. Likely the best blend for zone 6 and lower zones. Great Video Sir !

We did hydroseed about 4 weeks ago here in eastern Long Island New York. I know, not the best timing but weeds kept taking over a freshly tilled soil so we had to give it a shot. We’re going through a drought where it’s rained maybe once or twice since the hydroseed is down with very hot, humid weather. Grass was coming up nice until we hit the first hot humid week of weather and things changed quickly. We kept the irrigation on 4x a day for 10-15 mins a zone and it wasn’t long before we had brown patch everywhere that’s growing. Put down a headway-g treatment about two weeks ago. Will the patches recover or is reseeding the only way to fill them in ? Wondering how I’d know if the fungus is now under control. The seed is a tall fescue blend with Kentucky blue overseed. We also have huge weeds sprouting all over the place and know we can’t do a weed killer on a new lawn. Appreciate any information you can provide on how we can last through august until the heat starts to settle down.

I've about had it with KBG. Looks amazing for about 3 months out of the year, but it wusses out at the first sign of heat if you're not 100% on top of it. I'm not doing a full reno, but am overseeding 100% tall fescue from here on out. Eventually the TTTF will become the dominate grass type in my yard. Trying a Barenbrug product this year...supposedly very rhizomatic compared to other tall fescue cultivars. We'll see how it does.

I have the same issues with KBG as you but I don't think the TTTF will become dominant in any lawn with it. You probably already have full coverage and TTTF wont just take over what's already in there. I feel your pain as I think the only way to get what youre looking for is a complete kill then seed with TTTF.

I’m in the same boat, I have a KBG lawn without irrigation, I’m going to a TTTF since I keep my lawn at 3.25 and 3.5 in summer. If I could water it and keep it from going dormant I would but as soon as it hits 85 it’s like the KBG has narcolepsy, just goes to dormancy.

This is literally exactly the video I need right now. I’m in the middle of trying to fix my extremely mossy, extremely weedy lawn. I’ve been researching what type of seed to buy & struggling to make a decision. Very excited to watch, hopefully this helps me make a decision

Do a dethatch and aeration. Dead grass will block water, oxygen, and nutrient delivery.. not to mention seeds. That was my huge mistake this year, didn't do a dethatch.

Hi Ryan I seen your video and love them extremely educational. I live in the south where it’s most hot and wanted to know or can be steered in the right direction on getting emperor zoysia seeds to over seed my back yard. Anything would help thank you

I'm trying to decide between types of TTTP, Rhambler or Millennia, does anyone have any input on either one?

I live in NW Ohio and I use Black Beauty Ultra. I've had really good success with it and I'm pretty sure I seen it in one of your videos a couple years ago. Also with use of tenacity (which I seen you talk about) I took a old beat up yard to something I get lots of compliments on. I work allot so I don't get to water very much but it has stayed looking great even putting up with our recent hot and dry weather. I think it's great for the average home owner. Thanks for all your amazing content.

I've never used it actually. This would be just a grade above for our Elite stuff but whatever works for you is great!

Worked on a private golf course and we had to sod a whole 5 pallets of Black Beauty for a longer cut turf it was absolutely beautiful once it was laid and rooted.

Can I just spread or over seed any of this grass on my present yard for the winter months?

@RionPhotography 2 ай бұрын

KBG all the way! I did a front yard renovation and had torn up my backyard working on some projects and the bluegrass has spread halfway across the back already without watering back there and without doing any other prep. Not to mention all my plowing screwups and tractor tire marks now and then… all self fix very quickly! KBG is amazing!

What did you do to protect the seed from birds and to keep it moist? My KGB I put down took too long to germinate and most of my seed got eaten by birds and once it did germinate, it didn’t get enough water and died off.

@RionPhotography Ай бұрын

@@Piccolo_Re Well I put in an irrigation system while the yard was torn up so that helped with water, but I did the same yard previously and just moved a sprinkler (from big sprinklers) around the yard for a couple of weeks which also worked alright. As for birds, my first renovation I woke up the next day with every bird in the state on my lawn… so we put down straw next time! 🤣

@RionPhotography Ай бұрын

@@Piccolo_Re Oh I’ll also say I used a seed blend (Cornell Classic Mix) that has a bit of fescue and rye in it so that you get some grass within 7 days if you’re watering properly.

@Piccolo_Re Ай бұрын

@@RionPhotography perennial rye seems to go good with KBG since it germinates so quickly and is allelopathic plant that prevents other plants like weeds from growing easily.
