Grass is looking nice. Be careful with the tenacity (or any fertilizer that has Mesotrione) when seeding with a mix that has fine fescue. Tenacity is labeled to control the growth of fine fescue so that seed won't germinate. Your seed was all tall fescue blend so you won't have that problem but just FYI for people that might see this video. I overseed an area of my yard with a fescue mix that had fine fescue in it and used the same Scotts fertilizer and realized too late that I shouldn't have used the fertilizer at seeding when the grass came pretty weak.
SunJoe actually has an outlet store in New Jersey on Rout 17 right on the New York State border, I'm about a half hour away so I may take a drive up and check the place out. Due to an illness in the family, I put off taking care of the lawn for the last two years and the lawn went to crap. Last fall I did overseed which turned out great but this spring I applied Lime in early March, then Tenacity in early April and then about two weeks ago I overseeded and last week put down starter fert and the grass is starting to look better. I have a long way to go but I need to put down some more tenacity as the clover just doesn't want to go away then around Memorial Day a small amount of fertilizer and then start with the grub control in June and then in late summer get the sunjoe dethatcher and use it on the lawn followed by overseeding and then some more fert after that. Once the weather gets colder then I will put down lime and hope things will start turning the lawn around.
I did spot seed with TTTF and sprayed mesotrione probably double rate accidently. It didn't slow down or kill any new grass from coming up. It did however slow down some existing grass and turn it white for about a week. With the recent warm weather that grass is back to normal.
Great video, I learned some new stuff watching. I over-seeded parts of my TTTF lawn in Northeast USA this spring as well. Only got results in areas I have watered regularly (garden hose). In addition to being a cold spring, which you mentioned, has been a very dry spring as well. AS you mentioned, spring is always a crapshoot, hoping for better luck/results in fall.
Yes that is the major issue with spring overseeding and renovations especially in the northeast area the weather is very unpredictable. But It can be done but with extra attention and care.
Nice video, good info, thanks. The grass looks really thick and green. It may be just the video, but it looked like there might be some areas where the grass appears to have some clumps. Wondering if that was just the affect of the grass being unmowed, or if there were weeds. Do you have any issues with Goosegrass? I am in Northeast PA and do. Have used Tenacity in the past but am going to try Agrisel Grassout Max with Clethodim in a couple of areas as a test run.
Thank you and no I'm not dealing with any weeds knock on wood lol. I haven't had to deal with goosegrass the weed of choice in my yard was crabgrass and nutsedge and some occasional poa 😡🤣. Its just the yard is overgrown and swaying over at the moment but Thank you once again for your support I appreciate it.
Looks great. I just bought the sunjoe and I’ll be dethatching and overseeding this fall. Did you use the scarifing blades or the tines when you dethatched?
Don't you use the 1/3 rule? When I've re seeded I cut after 2 weeks. Then cut on high then lower it over the growing season.Leaving it that long means you end up scalping it.just my 2 cents, or pennies as I'm in north U.K.
Yes I use the 1/3 rule. I couldn't cut 2 weeks after seeding because it wasn't really much to cut due to the weather still being so cold so the lawn didn't really wake up until maybe 1 to 1 1/2 weeks ago. My normal cutting height is around 3.5 until summer then I move up to 3.75-4
@@LawnAmateur gotcha, been similar here in U.K the weather channel tell us one thing, the weather tells us another. Will sub to see how the scalping looks when you are finished 😁👍
Yes I had to water daily and also the rain we got helped because I overseeded after dethatching and used the scotts starter fertilizer with weed control so everything fed good
Question new homeowner here I bought a 1 acre property in Connecticut I have a moss problem I just use moss ex today could I detach or should I wait till the fall and detach and overseed
A reason to set the thatcher up high and gently remove some moss is the moss will hold moisture and encourage fungus if your in a hot place with summer rain. An iron treatment will discourage moss if you put it on afterwards. The cheapest iron will do, the ferrous sulphate heptahydrate.
@@quentinholley9077 you'll probably want to do a mixture grass. They have a north east by scotts that is very good it'll give you Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass all in one. It should do well with traffic

Thank you. Yea tenacity will definitely slow the germination of fine fescue and density
Thank you...!
My seed took forever this spring. But down here in PA it is finally springing up where I've seeded.
This spring has been brutal it was still cold like it was fall so everything took a while to germinate

That sounds like an excellent plan to get the grass back on track
Awesome Brotha 👍🏾…Coach “J “
Thank you I appreciate the support
Great video as always, overseeded as well would greenview, so far so good
I love the Greenview grass seed It green up very nicely and hold up well in the summer heat.

Yea the grass will bounce back over time
San Diego envious down here! Nicely done! We default to desert here.
I'll trade you the Lawn for San Diego 🤣🤣. Thank you for your support I appreciate it
Congrats on the 5k!
I appreciate it 🙏🏾
Looks good mane!
Thank you
Nice results considering the horrible weather here in the tri state area this spring. I am into looking at soil temps and soil moisture this year.
Yes the weather has been very inconsistent here. But we're finally seeing the light lol. Thank you for your support
Looks great!
Thank you
Wow I knew that green up would be everything!! It looks so green, thick and lush geesh I’m anticipating that cut #tunedin
Yes the temperature finally warmed up enough for the grass to finally come alive and green up. First cut coming soon
Great Break down, I am worried I wont put my Detaching machine on proper level
Just test it out first before fully doing the whole yard to see what setting works for you
Looking awesome Darryl! That overseed project was a success - and congratulations on 5K subscribers 🎉🎉
Yes it definitely turned out well so far but we're not done yet lol. Thank you I appreciate your support
Looks good, can’t wait to see the mow….I definitely enjoy looking at the progress.
Thank you I appreciate the support
Hey whats up Darryl! Congrats on 5K. The lawn looks great. Im looking forward to the next one. Awesome job as always.
Thank you I appreciate the support, it took awhile lol but I made it
Let’s see the mow…yo!
The mow is coming soon lol

Careful not to wait too long to mow! You really should never cut off more than 1/3 of the grass blades.
Where in the northeast are you. I'm from Jersey and yes we havent really had a spring yet. Sitting at a windy no sunshine 63 degrees today.
I'm in Connecticut and yes the winds are definitely brutal 🤣🤣 but I'll take it because the sun is shining better than that white stuff falling 🤫🤣🤣

What setting would you recommend for the sun joe dethatcher?
I used -10 setting
@@LawnAmateur thank you!

Congratulations 🍾, I would wait until fall now because summer is right around the corner and the grass would need time to heal and repair itself.
