Overseeding my bermuda lawn with annual ryegrass for the winter. This will maintain a green turf while bermuda lawn around you will go dormant. Ryegrass germinates very fast and will have results in as little as 10 days.

This guy knows his stuff about grass. This is the most informative instructional video regarding Ryegrass that I have ever seen. There is a lot more to know about grass varieties and maintaining a very green, presentable, and appealing yard full of grass. I am striving to have a yard like the man that owns this channel.

If you put rye grass for the winter will that help from winter weeds penetrating. Is it another form of an alternative if you don’t want to put down pre emergent. Obviously you’ll have to cut all winter long

@TheALG 2 года назад

Not 100 percent sure but I will probably have alittle more weeds than usual. I will see as time passed.

@brandonwatford1452 Год назад

I seen you mentioned in an earlier comment that you’re going to scalp the rye and chemically kill it before the Bermuda grass starts growing again. My question to you is, does that mean that you are going to have to reseed with rye again the following winter, or since you’ve applied it, will the roots still be there and just grow on its own once the Bermuda goes dormant?

@TheALG Год назад

I will have to reseed again the following winter. Doing this is more of a once and done. There are no roots that will come back. Hope this makes sense.

@tny1smi 2 года назад

Hi Rob great content just one thing. That metal plate on your front grass lawn, looks an eyesore I don't know if you've already thought about this, and if you can. A tip and trick have you tried making a square removable tray filled with soil and grass to cover the metal plate and blend in.

@TheALG 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip. I have tried making something like this a few years back. It did not last long because the grass would die after about 1 week. My guess the metal plate got hot and burned the grass on top.

@tny1smi 2 года назад

@@TheALG How about painting it Green. Or a patch of Fake grsss.

@TheALG 2 года назад

I can look for a patch of fake grass but I hope I can find dark green instead of light green. I dont want to paint it because the grass goes dormant in the winter and will look awkward with brown bermuda and a small green patch. I will for sure look into the synthetic grass. Thanks for the tip.

So you’re saying if I have Bermuda in my front yard and I wanna do a rye grass I have to completely cut the Bermuda all the way down and then throw seeds and it’ll come up perennial dry grass. What about the Bermuda grass is they gonna grow into it?

Hold up man how you installed those lights in the lawn ?? Are electric or solar ??

@TheALG 2 года назад

They are hard wired into the ground. I had to dig alittle but they are great. I got sick of mowing around my old lights that stick out of the ground. I plan to install the same ones in my backyard in the future and will make a video on it sometime later in the year.

@gm1258001 10 месяцев назад

Very nice, just seeded mine last week. I'm hoping it turns out as nice as this. On another note, the lights which are under the grass, what type of lighting is that? It looks nice.

@TheALG 10 месяцев назад

They are well lights. Got them from voltlighting.com. Easy to install, just need to make sure the connections are water tight.

Amazing how the rye blends right in , Question though , once the rye goes to sleep whats the process ? Scalp the rye and let the Bermuda take over ? Sorry ima complete noob and this will be my first season transition for this home

I dont even wait for the rye to die. I scalp and chemically kill it off right before the bermuda wakes up.

McClane reel mower. Not required but its helpful get that low cut

@Bigtymer1 5 месяцев назад

So, when you say if you used a pre emergent, do you mean, anytime during the warm season, or do you mean, prior to scalping and planting the rye grass?

@TheALG 5 месяцев назад

Depends on the brand and coverage. For example, using a lesco 007 covers you for about 3 months vs using prodiamine 65 wdg at the 6 month rate. If you plan to do winter overseed, you can use a preemergent early during the growing season provided you don't apply late in the season closer to the time you want to lay seed.

@Bigtymer1 5 месяцев назад

@@TheALG thanks! Very helpful, I thought you put the pre emergent down prior to over-seeding for rye grass. So after over seeding, when should the pre emergent be applied?

@TheALG 5 месяцев назад

A very long time. I believe it's like 16 weeks . I typically don't put a preemergent out after seeding

What do you mean crop rotation?

@Stefan_Smith 2 года назад

I'm new to this, what's thr point of seeding Ryegrass into your Bermuda?

@TheALG 2 года назад

Ah, its a practice some people who have bermuda grass. Bermuda goes green when its warm and goes brown when its cold. Some people don't like the look of a brown lawn, so they overseed it with a cool season ryegrass to have the green look in the winter. Bermuda is so aggressive with its growth come spring, it can recover very quickly.

@Stefan_Smith 2 года назад

Thanks for that, had no idea.. sounds looks like alot of work

@TheALG 2 года назад

It does require work but its mostly for show really. This should only be done to health bermuda only.

@arielrodriguez6980 5 месяцев назад

Currently I have bermuda with a little of st augustine mix. I do have some bare spots. Here in Texas the summer can be in the three digits. If I throw down ryegrass will it grow now and mix with the bermuda and eventually when the rye dies in the summer heat will it leave dead areas or will bermuda fill in?

@TheALG 5 месяцев назад

I could go both ways, it is likely that the rye will die and you will probably still be left with a bare spot. I would focus on getting the bermuda to fill in when it consistently stays warm. The bermuda will start to fill in buy not fully because the rye is taking up the space. Hope this makes sense.

@arielrodriguez6980 5 месяцев назад

@@TheALG My best bet is to let bermuda fill in like you say but can I seed with rye in the fall so it can be green and hopefully when bermuda comes out of dormancy and the rye dies I will have green grass year round, yes?

@TheALG 5 месяцев назад

Yes and no. While the rye will die, it doesn't die right away. It will take a few days of consistent heat to kill it off. There will be a transition period where the bermuda will start to grow, and the rye will still linger.

@arielrodriguez6980 5 месяцев назад

@@TheALG correct but as the bermuda starts to grow and extend it should fill in the dormant/dead rye until I re seed in the fall?

@TheALG 5 месяцев назад

It will spread as the rye dies. Sometimes, the rye can stay alive longer than anticipated, just depends on how much shade there is and if you have lots of rain

@enzomoya1689 Год назад

So, you said NOT to put down any pre emegent if you put down rye? What do you do for the pre emergent then? When to apply? I always get crab grass and was definitely gna put down a pre emergent. But I always put rye down in october!

@TheALG Год назад

I skipped preemergent altogether. Overseeding with rye on bermuda should only be done if you have a healthy turf and very little weed pressure.

@enzomoya1689 Год назад

@@TheALG I been in this house for 9 years now. Put rye down every year. What I never knew about was pre emergent for the weeds. I always just put down Scotts weed n feed. If I put a pre emergent like Lesco after the rye has come up will the p/e kill the rye?

@TheALG Год назад

Weed and feed is fine after the rye is established. The preemergent you have to wait at least about 8 weeks. I can be off by a week or two. The main goal is to allow the rye to establish first then you can out down a preemergent.

@TheALG 9 месяцев назад

@chrisSosa1 I would cut high since it's a short term grass. Towards the middle of the season, I kept it at 3 inches. It seemed to do better higher.

@robert5521 6 дней назад

@@chrisSosa1ryegrass can be cut short if one prefers, but seed density will likely need to be greater in a relative sense in order to have a thicker canopy.
