Thank you sir

Man I can listen to this fella all day. Just out there in the shade after a day of mowin and talkn grass.

As always, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful home, Pete. And great video. Thanks for the continued info feed, and for being our turf care guinea pig. It really does help a lot. Have a great autumn.

I love your dedication to your craft, Mr. Pete!

Respect to you sir for going out and trying some crazy stuff for us!

Another great video Pete! Like that you take us along as you “try” new things. Also love that shirt! 🇺🇸

“21 days”……and beyond! Im right there with ya on that Pete!

Great video, specially for beginners like me also. Thank you!

Pete, I just absolutely love your landscape!

Looks great Pete as always

Lawn's looking good 👍😊

Hi Pete, enjoying my cup of coffee while I watch your new video. I'm with you on the TTTF and letting it chill during the summer. I went to the beach too in June/July for two weeks and didn't water it and cut it when I returned. It was still green w/no signs of stress. Right now we've been getting nailed with upper 90s and 100 degree days here in Maryland this last weekend and on Monday. I still haven't cut it after two weeks and it's still green. My neighbors who cut weekly have a decent amount of heat stress, but mine does not. Good luck on your experiment and looking forward to seeing the results.

Hello 👋 love what you are doing. I’m glad that you are in North Carolina to see and understand heat and the right grass to put down. Lol, I have a mix of shade grass. But since I trimmed my tree up for the sun to hit the grass. The grass is not like I want to look like. Thank you for your tips on what grass to use. I really like the way tall fescue looks. O I forgot I live in Virginia. I will be working on my yard this August aerating and fertilizing and overseeing with tall fescue. Thanks again 💪 Delmar

That’s my favorite mower of yours. I like the all black, I have a 30” xmark

GCI Turf! First timer here. I'm putting down 25k Sqft of cool blue down in my front this fall and can't wait! Thanks for the video man, you seem pretty cool!

Make sure you give updates on your neighbors lawns etc. It is good info to see about stressed lawns and if you fixed it. Really great info.

This is really neat to see Pete I’ve been following the cool season program. I have TTTF due to everything going on this year with prices sky rocketing on everything I have had to cut back. I hated to do it but it is what it is. This season I put down protein in may and the spring and prodiamene in the spring. That’s it. I’ve been really shocked how well my turf has hung in there. I got some trouble spots with disease and a few weeds here and there but my turf still looks fine. Honestly I’m not worried because I know in the fall when I aerate and over seed and start feeding again it will come back to life. It’s hard to see problems in the turf and do nothing about it. But I just have to keep telling my self the fall it will all be fixed.

Switching to TTF Fescue...love your channel. Learning tons from your channel.

I had sort of the same issue you did when you went on vacation. My sprinkler system went down for about a week and a half. And it’s been high 90’s with high humidity here in Indy. I fixed my system the other day so now I’m waiting to see how my yard responds

You're my favorite person Pete I wish we knew each other 🙌🏼 good is so good you have to give it away to keep it brother

As usual looks great 👍🏻

The lawn is looking great Pete!

Keep up the good work brother.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

First! To me, your TTTF homestead lawn has always been the winner.

Hey Pete! Great stuff man. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’m hoping your fescue kicks butt‼️

I see this and it frustrates me mine is dormant! Had 10 days of 100+ here in Kansas. Looks great on your end!

Pete!! Just bought some Spreader Elite to overseed my KBG yard. I'm pumped to have better heat and sun tolerance for the hot summers here!

Good stuff! 👍

LOVE THE NEW VIDEO PETE! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL TOO!

Please continue to keep doing study's on no irrigated tttf. It really helps us as most can't irrigate

I bought GCI TTYF for my backyard renovation, 75% renovation. Anyway, with overseeding man it is the darkest thickest most beautiful grass ever!!!! Its expensive, but so worth it and it's handled the heat stress beautifully!!!

I experimented with organic products this year, combined with compost tea. The Milorganite fert I used is recommended four times per year. This includes a July application which times perfectly with the July rains (July is wettest month here). Grass came out of dormancy and looks dark green. No disease yet. Have watered very little, but weeds and crab grass are thriving.

You got it down to a science buddy NC 👊🏼

Pete, your TTTF grass seed is the absolute best seed I’ve ever used! Aerated and overseeded last fall with Cool Blue here in central NC and the results were nothing short of phenomenal! I’ll never buy another brand than yours! Thanks for an incredible product!

Dang that dog man! Great video pete

Great camera work! Regards from Baltimore.

I love my Barenbrug RTF

I’ve been messing around putting down low rates of Greene punch during the summer. I try to wait until we get some weather where the temps drop to the low 80s for a stretch and then do a low rate foliar spray with natural adjuvant. So far the results are amazing. This is in addition to spoon feeding with 5-0-5 and microgreene. Also I think the GreeneKick is really doing a great job with stress and water retention. Earlier this summer I was doing a lot of hand watering of the edges of my lawn in addition to running the irrigation. It just needed it. But since using Greene Kick the edges have stayed green and lush and haven’t needed any supplemental water.

bought the seeds from store and spread them around spring but I got a lot of crab grass and now taking over my lawn

You have been looking in the back of my truck or not 1/2 rate ax 1/2 rate pro liquid 18 6 3 2oz per shhhhhhh don't tell me do it!This is for all the help over the years.Thanks PETE!!!!

Well i am not to your level by any means, but happy to see a fescue video. Not on your program but watch all your strategies and started buying your products to supplement my local companies products and for the first time… I’m still striping in JULY! #FescueFan

I’m not up in your league, Pete. However, me an some of my neighbors use the ol four step and I add in a heavy app of Milo in between the Scott’s steps that they skip. That’s the only real difference, but adding in a little extra is clearly noticeable. Not sure if that’s considered Busch League spoon feeling or not but I thought it’s valuable for us beginners. 😅😂 Check you later. 🤘🏼

Oh my the dog was having an heated argument in the back

Pete! Just bought my first bag of goo tttf!

I’ve gotta get some gci turf up here in northern Manitoba Canada

We are hitting a 10 day 100 degree wave this month of July here in Wa State ..And my Barenburg RTF is Identical in color as Pete's . I fertilize twice a Year with a organic Turkey poop ferd and cut it to 1.5" in height as my Barenburg Turf Blue . I have 1 acre Turf blue and 28000 feet RTF butted right up to each other and Dam I love the RTF ..RTF is so easy to care for Bugs hate it No billbug problems Half the Water less heat stress

@GCI Turf @Pete - You should take the ph of the section with brown patch & the section without brown patch...see if they are the same or different.....my hypothesis is the brown patch will be more acidic....wonder if an application of only lime would change the ph enough to keep it around 7 would impact the brown patch....or nada....might be an interesting experiment....

Turf king

Great video, thank for taking the time out of your schedule to make these type of videos. I know this might a challenge for you. This might take some time to plan out. A lot of people across the country would really like to have a nice yard. Are you able to experiment on a lawn with the average person nugget. Not everyone can afford the equipment that you have or the irrigation system they just your basic average Joe that really want to have a nice yard what type of budget for the average person they can have a turf type tall fescue yard. Like a $100-$500 $1,000,- $5,000 budget. I hope you're able to help or give some type of input. Thanks

I actually did the same thing this year with my fescue. Right before the hottest days of 90+ with no rain I cut the grass to about 3.5 inches which is an inch lower than my normal height. Then bombed it with about .85 Lb NPK all slow release. Stayed off the grass for 4 weeks. Never looked this good. It’s rocking and rolling through the hot days still great color and no signs of stress. No irrigation whatsoever.

6:04 Lol. He’s seen green grass so much that brown grass is confusing to him. Lol.

Pete be on the lookout armyworms are here. You know I'm right around the corner from you. I got them working in my yard now. Just finished applying my insecticide. Just a heads up my friend

The weather has made my lawn season go south fast first we had one month of spring weather then straight to summer, then early in the season we had way to much rain, I was not able to fertilize because it would have washed away and when we finally got a break from the rain we had none for a week straight and my yard started to suffer and I lost the battle for now. When the fall comes around I will make sure that I come back with a vengeance. My fescue looks great but is starting to take a small hit, I have other grass types I am not sure of and those went dormant fast.

You are on track with the slow release N in the summer. Here we have always advocated to switching to an Organic fert for Fescue in Summer. What would get you would be salt burn. If the microbes can break it down then the plant can take it up. Went to Europe for 2 weeks. Hit the Bluemuda with Primo and it hasn't had a mower on it in over month

Pete!! As always....Another great video!! This question is more on the landscaping side. I'm in the process of planting screening trees in my backyard and I'm debating between Leyland Cypress or Green Giant Thujas. I really like the evergreens you have. What kind are they if you don't mind me asking??

Hello Pete! I love your videos and your yard! I have a few questions about zoysia grass. How to kill zoysia grass that is trying to grow in my fescue? I have some coming into my back yard from my neighbor's, through my wooden fence line. Its trying to take over my lawn. I Did a renovation last year and now the zoysia is back! How do I stop it and keep out of my lawn?

Just got my 45 bags of cool blue and spreader elite and bag of protene Starter fert for my 10k back yard can't wait for this fall to throw it down.

Good stuff Pete! My fescue is hanging in there so ready to do a full reno on my back yard with GCI TTTF! Also, did you ever figure out a water/flood sensor for your shed? Just curious!

Really cool experiment Pete. I have struggled with fungus issues the past few years and manage with propiconazole and azoxystrobin. I really wish we could get the natural adjuvant here in WA 😕

Pete what are your thoughts on using molasses for getting a deep green response in color. Would you do a video on it in the fescue test patch behind the shed?

Hey, Pete! What height are you cutting your TTTF, right now? As always, I'm thankful for you, brother. I love your heart for our Lord.

It’s a low maintenance type grass. Not comfortable for people to be active on. Does not tolerate low mowing. Gets very thatchy. I put it an area where I never spend time.

Hey Pete, I have a quick question can you give some advice on how to identify different types of grass...

Hi Pete Charles from Middle TN, I've done that 2 years in row. I fertilized my GCI Cool Blue at a full rate of 30-0-10. Of course I had already pretreated for fungus. The only bad thing that came out of doing that was I had to cut twice a week. I had no disease pressure, no browning, melting out, nothing but a thinck dark green lawn (I also put down Iron), I did my application mid July without changing my watering habits. I'll tell you, you are not likely to experience problems in the lawn. I love mowing so certainly didn't mind cutting twice a week. Since that's my schedule in fall and winter anyway. Anyway, just my two cents, which don't mean a whole hill of beans. You're in NC so things may be different for you. But I've not had any issues. Wish I could attach a picture for you.

Hey Pete, I’ve been following you program for several years now and I’ve been having great success in my TTTF yard. One thing I haven’t heard you discuss is the use of PGRs. I know the warm season, low cut crowd uses PGRs but do you have any experience with PGRs, specifically on TTTF?

Love the lawn and especially the American flag! How did you do that ?

What walk behind mower and striper are you using Pete?

Thanks Pete!, BTW was that a PH meter you stuck in your spray tank?

I'm on my 5th fungicide on my fescue, and all the lawns not treated with fungicide are half dead

Keeping your yard watered, you can apply whatever you want. Especially Blue Grass

Hey Pete, Is that the uplift allett mower? Is the striper part of it. Thanks!

Pete, what was the third thing you said for Brown patch, propicanozole, azoxystrobin and 1 other thing?

Looking for suggestions here... I live in Wisconsin now and my grass is a mixture of rye and fine fescue and some tall fescue. It's pretty thick in some places, and maybe only 70% thick in other places. I just moved from southern VA, where I had a lawn of just pure tall fescue and loved it, so I bought some GCI TTTF for up here. Question is... Can I overseed my lawn with the TTTF and thicken it up? Maybe over time it will become mostly TTTF if I keep doing that? Or should I like completely renovate/burn down the old grass and start fresh? Has anyone else ever had experience with overseeding TTTF into something that's a mixture of other grasses?

Will your seed work in Southern California near Los Angeles. It gets hot in the summer but I see fescue used out here

Green I see

hey pete i have some light green spots in my yard do you know why that could be?

Would you say Turf Type Tall Fescue blend is your most drought-tolerant option? I live in WA state (zone 8b) where we have been having exceptionally dry summers. I don't have irrigation and would like to water as minimal as possible. Thanks!

I need to buy grass seeds for the football field, I don't know if my side can support it

I live is a transition zone… where everyone has Tall fescue. They don’t do the Bermuda in the summer and perennial rye in the cool season .. is your TTTF good in the summer where it gets to 110 at times? Also when do you plant TTTF?

sorry I missed it... whats the HOC on the TTTF?

What type of Lawn Mower and striping kit are you using?

Pete, was the second fungicide application the preventative rate or did you do curative again?

Is it OK to catch/bag clippings? Grass is cool blue, third season and looking great, Concord, NC

How are you liking the Wright Velke mower?

I know Pete is in n.c, I know he doesn't mess with perennial ryegrass. I have been a fescue guy myself, because my transition zone heat and drought calls for it really. I experimented with some ryegrass and its holding on. I just bought 200 pounds of barenbrug rpr, and I was curious if anyone has any experience with it, if the stolon action is really that good, or just general recommendations. Thank you Pete, and to all of you, great help is always much appreciated. God bless

can this grass do good in south Alabama?

Pete been using blue heat for the past 2 years - I enjoy over seeding you think I should throw some rye into the mix or stick with Blue grass

Got hit hard, but recovered well.

What is the video with your program called? (For working on tall fescue yards)

how often do you water

I really want a tall fescue lawn, but I live in Birmingham, AL. Is it worth trying this far south?

Does RTF Tall Fescue actually work in spreading

what kind of leaf blade does your tall fescue have. i have some pictures i wanna share and maybe you can direct me into the right seed i need to purchase. i started out with some scotts tall fescue. any idea or help please

Is your fescue a wide blade or something else? Thank you

What would you suggest between bluegrass and tall fescue? I live in Indiana, have irrigation, and want a touch notch yard.

Your grass is good year round ?

First Aussie 😁

Nice, I am wondering, do you have any thoughts about Texas Bluegrass? I've heard it holds its color longer through hot summers. I also live in an arid climate, hot (100 degree+) summers, cool/cold winters, very sunny, no disease pressure at all (Havent applied any fungicides for 13 years at this house). What is the best grass for me?

What size Wright is that???
