Overseed an Existing Lawn // Core Aeration 

I be so entertained being Pete’s neighbor..... always dropping knowledge and having fun.... be blessed

Been watching your videos for awhile, whatever you have to say about turf people are going to listen. Your depth of knowledge far exceeds a lot of people tuning into your channel. Don’t shy away from sharing your passion for turf with us just because someone said “you talk too much.” Found your channel about a year ago, and let me just say, my knowledge in commercial lawn maintenance has been rapidly expanded from what I knew and what I’ve been taught from my dad when he had his business. Thank you for that man keep doing what you’re doing.

Pete anytime you get bored and want to talk all day ride over to Wake Forest area and come sit on my porch lol.Enjoying your videos learning a lot and hope my yard looks good next year.

looks like you were having a ton of fun doing wheelies with that aerator!

I love my weasel! Never knew about it until watching Pete last year and I went out and purchased one, and it really does the trick

I’ve talked about you and your company to my neighbor so much for the past several years, he has canceled his lawn spray service and is letting me help him with all of the bios and GCI Turf products. He is super stoked, as am I! Happy Sunday, Pete!

Pete popping wheelies on the Stinger 👍👍.

Pete, you're totally taking the stress out of yard work and making it fun and exciting.

It is good to see the garden weasel out on a seed job!

I could watch Pete do wheelies all day!

That test plot already looking good.

I’m 19 years old and I really enjoy every video ,I started a lawn company this year and you teach and motivate me to work and get my business successful like yours . Appreciate you god bless !

Pete, I’ve seeded my yard 3 times with your seed. I had two huge washouts early on and now this third time I’m praying for rain. Seeded 12 days ago and haven’t had any rain yet! Pray for some rain in Ohio! Please!

My man starts his video by doing a wheelie on the tractor/aerator lol Amazing!

Garden Weasel is the most underrated lawn tool

Looking good Pete. You're just having too much fun though doing those wheelies with that Aerator. Keep up the Good Lords work in those yards!

You're one of a kind, Pete. I appreciate you. 👍

Hey brother randy!! Just want to say God bless you and keeps us all in prayer. The Lord has been extremely faithful to me and my family this year, despite the chaos going on around us. Bless you, man.

Pete, pop a wheelie show the world us southern boys how we do it.😂👍 God bless y'all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Morning Pete. May you have a blessed Sunday. I enjoy all the videos. God bless

The test plot is coming in nice!

Nice wheelie on the stander 😊, always great content. 3 weeks ago I did a renovation on my lawn with some Kentucky blue grass. It’s been taking sometime to sprout but I noticed this week it’s starting to take off. Can’t wait to see the results in a few more weeks.... thank you 🇺🇸

Love your toys Pete!

Great video! I know overseeding time can be very stressful especially when it’s hard to find time but it feels soo good when that seed comes to life. Thanks for the tips brother!!

Stuntin’ on the Stinger! Looks fun.

0:08 Smoooooth like a tofu 👌👌

Awesome! Just sat down for my morning poo. Got something to watch

I absolutely love your videos Pete. Very informative and very encouraging. Keep up the good work. I'm definitely a fan.

it is outrageous how fast that unit is. jiminy

Pete, you have all the cool tools!

Lawd have mercy! I thought that was Bo Duke on that stinger again!

Cheers from France, love your content (your good tips and your grass) ! :)

Killer thumbnail! That stinger sure gets it done. I really need to think about getting something better than the tow behind I'm using.

Good job Pete

I just did this today! Laid down Pete's TTTF. Can't wait for it to come in.

Your TTTF seed just arrived last night. Aerating today 😎

Bought one of those weasels and they do a nice job for shallow cultivating. ~ mike

Those are some nice size dog... plugs. I had a service do my yard on Friday. They used a walk behind Stinger. The plugs were about half the size of yours. I use RGS, Humic12 every month, and Soilx spring and fall. I hope over time the compaction is reduced so good plugs are pulled.

Looking forward to getting my yard plugged and seeded Pete!

Just did my plug n plant with bluegrass seed yesterday and can get about 20-40% water coverage on my half acre plot. Was really worried with the dry spell we’re having that it was gonna be a total failure. I believe they call that fate that 24hrs later you mention watering if you could but it’s still okay to leave it up to Mother Nature so long as you accept it might not be as good as if you watered manually. For that I say thank you Pete and god bless!

I got my stinger aerator in last week absolutely love it! If anybody’s in the market to buy an aerator I highly recommend buying one of the stinger aerator. Worth every penny!

Thank you for the video, I did this two weeks ago and put down GCI Cool Blue, I’m extremely happy with the results. Going to stick with your GCI Cool Blue. What I need is a better aerator, rented a Home Depot one and it was not bad but the hill was a monster to deal with. Thanks again

Hey Pete, Im in Charlotte, I watch you and Pauls' Prime cuts all the time. I truly understand what the NC red clay is and love it. Nice videos. One of my annual customers watches your videos and is all into what you are doing and watching from Charlotte. Thought that would make you happy. Keep it up. The stinger wheelie is a helpful thing lol. Im still bound by chains till next cycle if you know what I mean.

Hey Pete, I'm sure you know but another youtuber by the name of Cole the Cornstar, he's also a god loving youtuber with a great positive outlook used your seed for his yard! You're growing as quick as the seed itself!

Thank you my brother! I'm learning a lot from you sir.

Gotta love the “Weasel”!!

Great tips as always Pete thank you

Liked before watching. Then watched and tried to like again

The visual for the seeds was really helpful for someone new like me! Thanks!

You have tought me so much just wanted to say thank you and God bless

Hi Pete... Love the videos and the way you share the knowledge. You're the guy I'm trying to model my lawn after. I got my backyard on track and it looks great but I have a problem with my front yard. I'm struggling with an issue. I did a full overseeding project last weekend with aerate, cut, soil with triple mix, overseed with the types of perennial rye and then starter fertilizer and humic acid treatment. That whole process went well but here's the issue. This week was cooler than expected here in Toronto. No rain. I watered at least twice a day and tried to keep the seeds moist. Unfortunately I haven't had really any growth yet and first is day seven. I'm keeping up the watering but the lawn seems to have slowed down a lot and I am starting to see it browning. I'm worried I'm getting fungus from the over watering but I can't stop because of the seeding. What do I do?

I hired someone this year that is a pro and has one of these units. The heck with doing it myself after seeing this thing roll.

:) one of the best things for a lawn

I’d love to get my hands on that aerator 😍

Good info man!!

Great channel, too notch. Even better you’re close in Reidsville

Man I wish I had irrigation, just had my lawn renovated, been watering 10,000 sq ft by hand, I'm 5 days in, takes me 1.5 hrs each time watering 2x a day, so I'm 15 hours in lol. Of course it rained all summer, got the lawn reno'd and the forecast was sunny for 10 days straight. I water in the morning, then again in the evening, but it dries out before the evening watering, hope that doesn't screw up my germination. I do see some rye sprouts coming up. I'm 75% tttf and 25% rye. fingers crossed!

Your Aerating pattern is a good idea with no wasted time between passes. I’ve often heard it referred to as a “Zamboni” pattern. You know, the big ice resurfacing machine used at ice rinks.

I would love to see a video that showcases all of your equipment...it would give us newbies an idea of what the big dogs are using

Great video

Thanks again

I’m hooked on the videos and learning a ton. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I’m growing some of your TTTF right now. Question - If there’s a need and irrigation is in place, can TTTF be established in spring with relative success through the summer heat?

Man you got that 13k toy it’s a beast

I live in PA what would be an ideal grass blend for great color and grass health like a good sod

I had a local lawn company come aerate my lawn, but they only got 1 inch plugs because our ground has been dry for a bit and no rain for the next 7 days even with me watering it, they did have a ride on and you could tell the pressure was turned up. Hopefully we get some rain I put seed down and its hard to keep it wet because my lawn is 20,000 sqft

Hay Pete need some help did a total renovation have some Perry winkle still left over I Have some 4 speed triclopier will this tack it out with a early December app.and a February !Thank you Pete Lv your help!

1)Why does the pine straw in the golf course look more dark reddish brown than the pine straw in residential subdivision? 2) how do apply pre-emergent in your natural areas with the pine straw in place, on the pine straw and water-in afterwards?

After watching this video and the prepping of this same lot of this over-seed you have gained a new follower/ subscriber. I really like how well your steps are detailed and explained. Quick question, you mention that in your area you recommend over-seeding in the fall. But I live way up in northern Vermont where it obviously snows and freezes. Would you still suggest seeding in the fall or some other time?

I love you grass

I like it when you talk I don't think it's rambling its helpful and great content my brother!!!

Core aerator vs Aeravator, which do you think does a better job? In which situations would you aerate and not aeravate?

Hey Pete ! I’m doing a lawn Reno and I just aerated , should I rake up plugs before I seed or leave them alone ?

When do you put the starter fert down? Before or after?

Great Vid Mr. Pete! Loved the wheely on the Stinger! Does the stinger have a pressure setting on it for the tines? It would be cool if you could do a vid on the stand on aerators and all the bells and whistles on it. I can rent a Toro stand on locally but I would have No idea what pressure setting to set it on. I like the idea of going in with some friends and neighbors to rent one but I do not know the least bit about them, but I can read a manual, LOL! Appreciate the informational content my friend! As Always, Peace and God's Love to All! Chad Upstate NY

please explain. = grass seed in random holes. how deep are the holes ? how does the grass seed grow out if the holes ?

Hi sir Pete. Would you recommend a monostand of TTTF in Huntley, IL?

Hey Pete, thanks for making all these informative videos! What would you put on top of the seed when you do a full renovation?

Hey y’all! Can you mix tenacity with the bio stimulants? I’m trying to cut my steps. Thx

Is there any need to get utility lines marked before plugging?

What's the best way to ensure good seed to soil contact over the well established part of the yard (without using a slit seeder)? Can you do a light pass with a power rake to make sure that seed is down deep on the soil surface or would that potentially damage the seed?

Great video, I do have a question on this video did you have a chance to put down some starter fertilizer later on because a previous video that I watch you recommend putting down starter fertilizer with new seed to really activate the growth, or is it different when you're just overseeding because you don't want the mature grass to continue growing or do you wait a couple days or a couple of weeks to add starter fertilizer? Thanks

Pete, do you prefer this over the Ventrac Aervator?

Hey Pete if we don’t have the money to rent an aerator what do you recommend we use to aerator our yard PS I have a bunch of Dallas grass I’ve been trying to pick it out I have no clue how to control it what should I do

Pete how soon do you put down fertilizer x start right away or do you wait until grass starts to come up ??? bless you and your family

I swung by The Hungry Hussie's house yesterday (check out his vids) and got his tow grass speader he was throwing out. He said this is a good time of year to aerate, seed, I spent my whole summer doing that. Am I still good to go?

Seeing a pennington seed ad prior to a GCI video. Ya right, no one here is buying their stuff. Lol.

Pete, do you pull the cores or leave them?

When is the best time to dethatch? For eastern Massachusetts

When I have disease or fungus, what should I do before seeding?

Did this man really pop a wheelie...

New subscriber here and I have learn a lot watchimg your videos. I live nearby in Stoneville. I just finished yesterday with renovating my lawn with Lesco fescue seed. This cool weather has me worried about whether i wasted my money or not. Your thoughts? Keep making awesome videos man.

I live in Texas (hot summers) what is the best shade grass in your opinion. It needs to be drought tolerant.

Does your fescue stay green in the winter or do you plant rye grass to keep it green? I usually plant only rye grass in the fall. I have never over seeded with fescue and thinking about doing it this fall. Can I plant both rye and fescue together? I live in North Georgia

Looks good. How soon after you use the starter fertilizer can you switch over to apply more nitrogen? Example 13-13-13 without burning up your new seedlings.

Does the weasel move the seed around too much?

Does anyone know how soon I can put down Milorganite after aeration, over seeding with GCI Tall Fescue and using the XGRN fertilizer he also sells?

Pete how do you like the yellow aerator ,, i have the toro but I believe yours doesn’t have chains. What make is yours ? Great job bro

Morning 🌄 Pete & subs!! From Atlanta. Need opinions and advice helping dad, tall fescue yard (established) this fall, we do the usual detach, aeration overseeding,summer just beats the tar out of the yard uses sprinkler what 📦 store seed would ya'll recommend he/we are good diy. Thanks God bless

Look at the seed grow in the test plots!

How many times per day do you recommend watering the lawn when you overseed?
