This Might Be The WORST Grass Seed Ever

Күн бұрын

Why in the world would I be planting this grass seed? Let's find out.
Long ago (as in the 1940s) Kentucky 31 tall fescue was brought to market and quickly became a favorite for its ability to withstand harsh conditions. However over the years, many many improved varieties of tall fescue have been introduced and yet many still think of K31 as a legit option in their yard over those better varieties. It used to be that K31 was also cheap and for that I could see a use in larger areas, but even that has changed recently. So let's put a plot of this in next to some better fescue and see what it looks like!
Also today I revealed my new partnership with ‪@ventrac‬ . I am so excited to become part of the family and to utilize this equipment on my property in many videos to come. Find out more about Ventrac at www.ventrac.com

I definitely would have seeded and blanketed those bare areas before the severe weather. Those erosion blankets are phenomenal at keeping everything in place and preventing erosion. I've used them on a majority of my 12ksqft lawn that also has a back slope with an 18° angle. I don't see an issue with pulling them up but I've always left mine in place especially on the sloped areas and by the end of the next summer (fall reno) the plastic netting is really weak and brittle. Haven't had any issues with it in my mower blades. Thanks for posting the video. Love the power rake attachment on that Ventrac.

Always enjoy these vids. In my opinion it would be helpful if you attached a date to these vids. Will help viewers know when you get stuff down if they go back and watch. For instance in a spring seeding video, it would be helpful to know when the project started for future cases (im aware of weather differences). But it gives people an idea when to start!

I say pick it up as soon as possible after germination or maybe after the first two mowings. Next time I would do loose straw and scarify/ thatch and bag the straw once established.

Once again, great quality with your videos. Sidenote. I'm planning to overseed my existing lawn. Just moved to this home, so I have no idea what work was done on the yard in the past. I plan to dethatch for the first time in fall and overseed. I'm not certain of the grass type, but know it's a mix, likely tall fescue and ryegrass (I'm in northern Illinois.) I've been looking at your Kentucky Bluegrass/Rye elite seed you offer. Just wondering if you think that would be a good, safe mix for my yard.

@ryanknorrlawncare 2 жыл бұрын

If you think it's predominantly tall fescue then I might stay with that as the main seed type so you don't get some weird textures going on

@user-tb2wz1tr8y 2 жыл бұрын

@@ryanknorrlawncare Thank you your reply. I'm not entirely sure it's predominantly tall fescue. There's two noticeable types in the back yard. The previous owner, I believe, seeded after a pool. One section has thinner blades and a lighter green. The rest of the yard is a darker green with slightly thicker grass blades.

Kentucky 31 is awesome. Ends up a lime green. Really dense and soft like shag carpet. Its the only seed I can start in the spring that will survive the summer heat. I tilled and seeded a portion of yard with Scott's rapid Grass just for comparison. Gave it the same treatment as the K31. Complete dud. After 7 days not a single sprout and you are supposed to see something by day 5. Ordered some more K31 as my local BLowes or Home Ripoff do not carry it for some reason and opted for the Smart Patch bags that could have anything in them. Amazon has me covered though.
