Seeding My Backyard Golf Green Surrounds // Perennial Ryegrass 

The best ways to get rain. 1. Dig foundation trenches. 2. lay a concrete slab. 3. Paint exterior walls. And to get torrential rain. 1. Top dress your lawn. 2. Fertilise your lawn. 3. Put out seed. The amount of water you get is directionally proportional the the slope of the land. The greater the slope, the greater the water.

Man Bro! It always rains when doing a seed job! Looking really good with the germination though! One step closure and opening up that paddock area looks great! Love the content! Peace and God's Love! Chad Upstate NY

Storms every time I seed as well

Looking great!! .. Do you worry about all the surrounding weeds dropping seeds into where you're doing the rye? I had a residential lawn where the neighbor had heaps of crabgrass and it LOVED that newly raked fertilized soil 😆.. But easy to treat I guess! .. Or I hear tenacity is good for seeding projects.

Are you concerned about flooding / wash at that point on the green in the future? Are you going to have to put in a soak away/ extra drainage?

i probably subscribe to 100+ channels of many variety. Your posts for the last few months have been what ive been most excited to see! its wildly awesome what you're doing! right on!

I guess having that heavy rain gives you an idea of where the water will go and if you need to put something in place to reduce the chances of it pooling up.

Hi Ben typical you take all that care when seeding not to get any on the green and Mother Nature the weather comes in to test us , glyphosate will sort the problem great video will look awesome when complete what an area keep smilin all the best Craig 😅

Maybe a light swale in that area where you took the fence out?

So frustrating when u get washouts mate 😔. I know that feeling all too well 😎

Goodness I cannot believe the washout into the green after you speaking about it Ben. You have the perfect attitude though, laugh it off and crack on Lol. I wish my grass seed germinated as quick here in Bonnie Scotland Lol, What a difference with the other fence down too.

Yo mate what up welcome to another lawn tip vid, I heard if you start the videos with the "yo mate what up welcome to another lawn tip vid" there is a better chance of not getting a storm 🤔 all jokes aside what a pain in the ass hopefully not much shows up in the green

It has been a great journey to watch you get to this point. The seeding part is what I've been hanging out for 😄 extremely frustrating what the storm did but you got as much of the seed out as possible, it'll still look mint👏👏👏

Broooo spewing I can see the pain on your face with that seed getting into the green fingers crossed it’s easy to get out of the green

I didn't realize I could feel so much pain for witnessing another man's lawn get contaminated with the wrong seed. Big cringe when I saw the washout. Poor bastard.

When I saw that storm over Orange the other day on the weather channel I immediately thought of you and thought to myself “yep his golf green is gonna get f*cked”

Feel 4 u dude - Rain 😩 Sandbags at the top of the hill for protection?

Surely need to put in a massive flood drain to prevent it happening again?

Ladies and Gentlemen we have germination . Whoehoe 🌱👌🤜🤛

I have been waiting all week for this video, it’s been a long week! 😂

Looks a million bucks with that fence gone.

Damn. That sucks it washed into the green. Seeding always brings rain haha. Better than a rain dance. Just put out seed if you want it to rain!

Why am I just as excited to see germination here compared to when I seeded my own lawn..

What happened to the glyphosate weedkilling off process - did you perform more than the initial spray before seeding the Rye? Love your vid’s 😀

What do you listen to while you're seeding/mowing? Audiobooks? Music? What are you into?

tbh its probably a good thing that the rye got washed onto the green, good content for later haha

Looking awesome mate

As soon as I saw that whole fence had come down, I immediately thought theres a second putting green in your future.

Love your vids, I always feel sunburned after watching tho

How pissed off would you be if you put the wrong seed on the green

So Rad, never really seen a hole being built before, it's gonna look so good.

What a pain! Sorry the storm came and stuffed things up! Green coming along well otherwise! 😊

Awesome to see you getting some seed down, it's all coming together glad to be here for the journey. Can't wait for spring here in Wisconsin.

Omg how much it opens it up with no fence looks amazing such a bugger got seed on the green

That is so frustrating with the rain and seed running across the green 😡. Be interested to see how you go with the removal. Good luck 🤞

This happened to me but the seed pooled until it washed under the fence plinth and took a large amount of the seed onto neighbours driveway. Every time I plant seed a storm appears a week later to wash it all out. I now order twice the amount I seed I need because I know whats coming....

Funny, I have one of those drop spreaders. The LCN recently said he didn't rate them. I was going to throw it away... but now watching you, it may actually come in handy for overseeding (if I ever get around to it). Thanks for the tip!

So good to see that green haze. It's all happening now. It just wouldn't be real if something didn't go wrong haha. Solid effort mate!

I would have had a Beer in my Hand

Top work as always!! Love the videos!

Great video mate. The open space looks amazing. You should consider channeling the recent path of water back to the drain. Reduce the risk of it happening again.

Can you say what varieties are in your blend? Or is it top secret? Lol

Awesome to see everything coming along! I haven’t heard you talk about weeds yet. Is the plan to let all the grass come in and take care of weeds when the turf has established?

awesome work man! keep on going!

Here we go

Seeing the new seed pop up is getting me pumped for the finished product

Hey great vid. I have a quick question. I planning on seeding my lawn this week. I using canberra blend but I'm struggling to find out what the exact setting to use of my scotts drop spreader. It's the same as yours. I have done a calibration test. I need to put out 2.5 kg per 100sqm. I have come up with setting 15 on the spreader but my question is what was the number that you have been using when you sowed you seed in this vid. I think you were sowing 5kg per 100sqm so it should be higher setting then mine i am hoping. Any help would be great. Cheers keep up the great work bra!!!!

Great vid Ben. Im really enjoying this series. Curious as to what setting your drop spreader is on for the Rye seed? I have the same spreader and find I need to have it all the way open.

What happens when you take a golf shot divot in ryegrass? Does it need reseed? Most of the courses I play in QLD have couch grass

Cabt wait to see the finished product!!

Awesome vid, been so keen to see it get to this point! You've done an phenomenal job so far! "we do not want our surround seed in the green" . . . queue storm of epic proportions😓

Morninggggg🤙

First

I can't wait to see the first round of the Lawn Tips Invitational ⛳

Morning all

Awesome.

Really look forward to all your videos. At our summer home in Nebraska (USA) our club will be renovating many greens and re-grassing the entire course to bent fairways and the latest bent variety for the greens. We have the owner of the company that does all the work on Augusta National as members of our club so get the best course constructor there is. I’ve studied the USGA green construction documents and you’ve done a great job.

Lol what happened to the R? Did it go hide somewhere? What R am I talking about? The one in the word Here. Lol the R is gone and replaced with eeeya. Lots of water over heeeeya. 😂

Show us how you do the green

did he just get through a video without thanking hutchin and pearce?! In all honesty dude great to see the seed go down

Furd.
