I have a Midnight KBG monostand here in southern NJ. The way you overcome the late spring green up is by doing two things. First, make sure you do a late fall (1 week or so before Thanksgiving) fertilization with a high nitrogen synthetic. Secondly in the last week of March cut it short to "wake it up" and immediately fertilize again with a high nitrogen synthetic fertilizer. If you do that you will easily shave off at least two weeks of waiting for a green lawn. The only other issue I have is like most KBG, it is prone to disease. However, the way you prevent that is with a few applications applied at the right time of the year of a broad spectrum fungicide like azoxystrobin. As I said, my lawn is 100% Midnight and I get compliments all the time from people passing by telling me its the nicest lawn they've every seen in a neighborhood. Because its a monostand it is very uniform and being KBG it is thick.

And ummmmm

Two minutes and I had to stop listening

I have MKBG. If you fertilize in late fall it will green up fast. I have no issues with mine

Thanks for the info

Good info. I'm in NE Ohio. What varieties of bluegrass do you like to mix with midnight for those that want a blend? Or, what varieties do you like for the area over midnight?

Sam, stumbled upon your channel and have been extremely happy watching through them. I live in New Albany, OH and just did a complete reno. I've learned everything from Facebook and KZfaq. TONS of info in here for a home DIYer. A bit deep and missing the "entertainment" factor from typical KZfaqrs but your audience is a bit different. Do you mind if I share your videos in our groups and spread the word? The Midnight Bluegrass one is going to be the most popular with the group I suspect.

So um basically um what you’re saying um about KBG um is that um it’s pretty um good? Thanks!

Get super seed store ss1100 ..game changer. peace be with you.

Good info thanks.

Outstanding content sir

👍

Nice presentation

Ugh, I’ve already raked. I thought all that thick matting over the canopy would smother and kill the grass.

So you are really a snowy geek? Great information as always Sam!

Nice presentation! Anytime you need to geek out on turf in a video, I’ll tune in!
