Scalping Cool Season Grass - Yes or No 

Just put the grass seed in 5 gallon or bigger buckets and fill with water. Change the water every 12 hrs till you see the seed germinating! Then mix the seed with your favorite fertilizer and spread it!!..... unbelievable percentage of germination! Way more then just grass seed laying on lawn! Works miracles!

Doc... I have an idea..🤔 Because you have been so blessed with a lot of land. Can you take a section and divide into sections 50 feet long with each section a different type of grass. Similar to a Bowling alley. It would be a great classroom. Thanks again for the videos. 👍

6:56 There it is, there's the jingle.

Appreciate the hard work over the years.

Appreciate the cool season grass content. Hopefully with the farm house we get more. Keep it coming

Bought an EGO the other week and returned it the next day. The cut it did on my lawn did not come close to my Honda. Hopefully electric mowers get better.

If you pick up your clippings, aren't you risking picking up your seeds with your clippings.

Thanks Doc for the wealth of information, always something new to learn watching your channel.

I cut my lawn today. Turf type tall fescue. So therapeutic, this weather is nice. I watch all your videos, and I pretty much follow your suggestions except I don't use the dirt booster. Instead, I'm amending with peat moss in the fall. Zone 7b, 50 miles north of Atlanta.

Great content. I also have annual rye and love it but boy do I struggle with the accumulation under the deck of my toro TimeMaster with the mulching blades. Ballard makes a high lift blade that handles it much better on side discharge or bagging. The mulch blades whip that rye into a pulp like consistency that coat the deck. What works even better for wet rye is a cheap non mulching, side discharge bolens style mower. No accumulation at all and knocks it down well without wearing out your good equipment with the mess. I reel mow it also with the TruCut and it takes well to it. You do still get some accumulation on the reels but a good wash down after use helps tremendously.

I don’t scalp but I cut it as low as my cheap mower cuts which is 1.5”. My grass is healthy but my neighbors lawns are thin so it helps get rid of some brown

That spf 30 is great stuff. I been reel mowing mine at 3/4 inch in northern Arkansas. We'll see how it is in the summer

Thanks Doc

Seeded Fescue in my winter rye lawn a week ago and starting to see some germination. I’ve been cutting this lawn every 2 days and still needs to bag it. I’m wondering when I start raising up my mower settings and how gradual?

Any chance you might discuss leveling with the cool season section? I appreciate what I have learned from you since early 2020!!

My Bermuda lawn has several bumps and low spots. Is 1.5" ok for scalping and then mow regularly at 2". I am using a rotary push mower and I can lower it to 1" but it will cause it to scalp to the dirt in a lot of areas.

so is this near end of beautiful bermuda grass videos from you?

I scalp twice a season.

i " scalp" my grass a few times every spring because im under trees and leaves get matted up everywhere ...also helps to remove dead grass and helps the soil to warm up ...ill cut higher when it gets hot and dry ...if i overseed in the fall ill cut short like you suggested ...good info ...
