Perennial Rye is soooo dang pretty. Best looking lawn. Unfortunately, I am in Lexington, NC and Rye (naturally, talking about Perennial Rye) just does not go so well. Great video. Lots of people overlook taking care of the existing weeds before doing anything else. For the third time.....job well done!
Kyle, this is by far the best all in one video you have done for Fall renovation. Thanks for taking your valuable time to knock this one out of the park!!
What i do is....id mix up some granula iron and water(make sure the concentration is quite strong)...add on some baby shampoo(surfactant) and mix up well in a sprayer! This gets rid off all broadleaf weeds...and even clover! It does not damage the grass(obviously the grass in the sprayed area gets a bit darker for a week or two)! Possibly the cheapest weedkiller you can have , and it works 👍
Hey Kyle, another great video. Did my first over seed last fall using the steps you mentioned. I was like a proud Papa when it worked and filled in! The toughest part is deciding how long to wait before you mow. Fertilizer and water makes the existing grass grow (fast) too.
Thanks for the comment, Jonny! I’m glad to hear about your success. You’re right, I struggle with waiting long enough before mowing after an overseed. It’s ideal to wait 2 weeks before mowing after your overseed. Im way too impatient for that!
This fall I'm trying out that chicken doo doo that you talked about in another video. Another pointer that I would add is to be mindful of the prodiamine seeding wait time for anyone that put down prodiamine as a crabgrass preventer (especially if it was applied later in the spring as in my case). The prodiamine product I used (HJ Prodiamine) has a pretty long seeding wait time.
Great tips Kyle! I'm hoping to dethatch my lawn this weekend. Time has gotten the best of me now that golf season is in full swing and school is back in session
So you can just chuck the seed down? Won't the birds just eat all the seeds? You don't need to roll it in or put a thin layer of soil on top or anything?
The idea for this video was to give a general idea of the timing of these different steps in the fall. You are right, covering your seed will give you better result.
These things r optional the most important thing to have soil to seed contact,I reseed all the time without doing all this n I do have germination,some of this Utub guys ll let u waste your energy
Thanks again for the tips in this video Kyle. Your lawn is looking good. Mine could've been better, if it weren't for that mole that planted itself in my yard. Hello again from across Lake MI.
Sir, trying to win the Yard of the Fall trophy out here. The BLUF, currently I have centepide in Columbia, SC. I was planning to overseed with Raygrass but I read that Centepide with Raygrass will create a lot of problems. Another article advises oversees with Fescue for the fall/winter to keep the green lawn going thru the season. Do you have any advice/recommendations?
I'm virtually in the same vicinity as you and trying to figure out how you get up to 3lbs in the fall with .5 N every couple weeks. I start up fertilizing again late Aug but I'm putting. 6 N every 2-3 weeks and then blasting it with .92 N of Green Max one last time around Halloween but by that time we've almost had our first frost. I'm around 3.5 N by then but I also have KBG which is notorious for needed more N. It's very important to get some potassium in the fall too.
Thank you for an very informative video! I’m a new homeowner and I’m struggling with my new sod. It was laid out late June/22, by August/22 I had weeds everywhere - primarily crabgrass and nutsedge weed. I been plucking it out but it’s spreading like fire. Also, when i pull it out, some of my new sod comes out with it. I’m devastated! What would be your recommendations as fall care so I would have a nice lawn next year? I’ve fertilized once, planning on doing once again soon. Can I aerate and Oversee a new lawn? My husband wanted to detach rake but I think this would be too stressful for a new grass. Please help!! Thank you.
Hi Elaine! I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re having with your new lawn. I wouldn’t aerate or overseed your new sod. You just need to keep up with watering it and build up its roots by fertilizing. Chick N Poo, or Coop Poop are great fertilizers for new sod. For the weeds, you can use a screwdriver and try to stay on top of pulling the weeds that pop up. Good luck to you!
Hi sorry if this is a dumb question but after blanket applying the weed killer , do I mow ? Pick by hand ? Or rake the lawn and throw away the dead weed. I want to make sure I’m ready for detaching. Thank you in advance
@@lakehouselawncare1755 thank you so much for your reply! I’m starting this weekend and following your step by step guide ! Very very helpful video to me that knows 0 about lawn care
Hey Kyle, just did a renovation following all of your tips and tricks. Only a week in and things are looking mint already. Question for you. I know you spoonfeed through the fall and in the past you have used Scotts Green Max, which I plan on using. If you do a fall overseed, do you still do a high nitrogen spoonfeed after certain amount of time? If so, how long do you wait?
Hey Taylor! Thanks for the comment. I’m glad to hear things are going well. It’s best to wait at least four weeks after overseeding to use a fast acting nitrogen fertilizer like Scott’s Green Max for your spoon feeding.
Putting top soil on the seed is not mandatory for a successful result? I also love rye grass! It is so incredibly dark and green compared to the other grass types in my lawn.
Hey Robbie. Yes, I’ll apply chickn Poo in October as my last application. I like Scott’s green max as my fast acting nitrogen in September. amzn.to/3e8YOu7
For beginners and beginners only, this is way too much and every notion is So dependable on specifics that you can't compile in a single video. For advanced lawn home owners...this is laughable...
Hey Milen, my goal for this video was to give everyone an idea of the timing and sequence of events to get the best possible lawn this fall. I’ll be making videos with specific details for each step mentioned.
@@lakehouselawncare1755 again, let's put one ahead. You DON'T overseed KBG. Not with KBG. Your PRG will need this probably every year, but video can not be made assuming all lawns are sissy grass :)
