I can just hear the song - Pete's lawn is on fiaaaar. Pete's lawn is on fiiiiaaaaaaar. 😂
bah ha ha ha ha
To the Sammy Hagar "Baby's on Fire" melody!
🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I love how you can still see the stripes
When I was young, our neighbor used to burn small areas at a time of his yard. I thought he was CRAZY, but it grew back Beautiful & Green!
I did that too a few years ago in my backyard using one of those weed torches. Had large sections of nutsedge in the yard and fire was on the menu.
I am so jealous… you have better stripes in your burnt grass than I can get in my regular lawn. lol
Man just earlier this year i seeded my yard with tall fescue. Pete being the inspiration for it. Later the same year he’s burning down his back plot of beautiful fescue.. it’s been a strange year 😂. Keep rocking Pete!
You did the right thing. You will get a better lawn from that , farmers have been burning for years and they are pros feeding the world. Good luck Pete God bless.
In the future start the burn from the location you want the most control at instead of going toward it, you can also start the fire from all sides and have it burn toward itself so that it can not burn anywhere else.
Wish I had neighbors like Pete! I have to take care of my lawn and the neighbors to the left and right to keep the dandelions and creeping weeds from infecting my lawn. With the help of Pete's channel I've successfully got one of the nicest lawns in my neighborhood. God bless Pete!!
That’s how I get rid of thatch… burn spot here and there in the late fall, come spring, it fills back in. I think the grass like it
I love how you can still see the stripes even after it’s been burnt I honestly just think it’s very satisfying
I've been torching my zoysia grass for the past 5 years. The first being on accident. You cant believe the new growth you gain each spring. I do not know the science behind it but I know it has helped tremendously. Can anyone explain the science behind this? Love your work Pete!!!!
Scalping it down and burning it off. Retuning all that good stuff back into the soil. It's the way to go Pete.
There we go Pete!! Reminded me of burning off the wheat fields when I was young. With the direction the wind looked to be blowing that long stuff would have burnt good. I use fire on my Bermuda before it wakes up in the spring and it always comes in fresh.
What do you do with it after your burn it? Just water it down into the roots?
I burned my old Bermuda yard at my old house a few years ago in the late winter when it was still dormant. Filled a backpack sprayer up with water and just sprayed down where I didn’t want the fire to reach. Had a lot of old thatch and it took care of all of it. My yard turned green 3 or 4 weeks before everyone else’s. I got pics but TH-cam won’t let me post it. Great idea Pete.
Holy smokes Ya done blew my mind again Pete, wish i was your neighbor im always out in the yard doing cool stuff but definitely not that cool. Lawns are burning across America tomorrow, thanks for sharing brother Pete never saw that done. Have a blessed night sir RIP fescue!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
New meaning to smoked it off! Love it Pete, good luck on this renovation.
That's gonna be a good suppliment for your new grass. Carbon will do great for the new grass
A good idea to have on hand is a leaf blower. They work great for putting out grass fires. Much quicker than water. Good idea to use both but leaf blower is great to keep it away from areas you don't want burned. Learned that watching a rural county firefighter pull up and handle a whole grass fire on his own with a backpack blower. He said its the best thing for grass fires.
I'm glad to see you took my advice! I did this to my lawn when I renovated it. Yeah my neighbor said I was kind of goofy but I watch the farmers do it to their crops all the time. It also adds Ash into your soil.
Hey Frank. So how'd the lawn turn out after the burn-off? Did you amend the soil prior to planting or just aerate and seed as usual?
@@Mityob67 I just aerated and Seed. It turned out okay but I had rain wash out a couple times. I really didn't do any amending of the soil. If I was to do it again I probably wouldn't Burn It Down. Only reason why I say that is because I had a couple rain washouts and it was hard to try and keep the seed in the ground. At least if you had some grass it would probably keep the seed from washing out easily. But I have a lot of clay so the ground doesn't really absorb well and anything on top just gets washed off.
The drone shots in the rain was a cool touch.
That corner patch behind the shed is looking very good, waiting to hear what it is and if it's going to be a new cultivar in your blend. Stay safe and be blessed!
That's the real Black Beauty grass!
Props to the fire guys for lending a hand. Great suggestion, I'm sure you will be very happy with the results. Living here in Kansas farmers burn their wheat stubble often.
Great job Pete! I can’t wait to see the updates.
I don't have the balls to try this. I do some crazy stuff, but I can't even think about trying to do this. Hope it works out great!!
Pete, those aerial shots of your entire property with all that green and that one burnt section has me smiling big just anticipating on the end result of this project lol. From one NC guy to another I tip my hat.
Pete thanks for sharing as always, so cool- can’t wait to cool-blue my yard this fall 👍🏼🙏
If the weather will let you, wait a couple weeks after tilling it. Fire can have a stimulating effect on some seeds, and it doesn't kill the roots.
that was so mesmerizing.
Pete you are not alone...🔥🔥🔥
I too believe in burning your lawn it works wonders. Next up Pear Burner 🥰
Beavis went into the lawn care business. All yards look like this.
This was simply awesome.
You go through life thinking you've seen just about everything....Then you see something like this. You are the man Pete
you see something new every day, wow! excellent video is an understatement!
Did you have to pay the fire department to be there? lol That must've been one of their most memorable calls.
Also, I think black is the new green! haha
Curious about this too
Curious as well. Do they do this as a service to protect the property around you? Did you have to pay them? You know there's gonna be someone out there thinking you're crazy wasting taxpayers $$$. I think it was a great idea to have them out there.
Same thought
A good donation to the volunteers goes a long way. Plus it is better to be proactive then reactive
I was laughing straight away.
I was laughing inside the whole time! LOL
Enjoy watching learning so much thanks GCI
Hey Pete! That was awesome! I've heard of doing this with bermuda, but wow. Good idea from the viewers! Cool editing.
That was a good controlled burn there Pete! My company burned off some old fields that were 6ft high in grass and cane for a client, and when the wind picked up, 150ac burned to a crisp in 10min. A "backing fire" like you had where it creeps along does a way better job at consuming material than one that blows across the landscape. Looking forward to your KBG!
It was really controlled! We haven't tried burning yet!
So awesome! Nice work Pete!
We have grass fires very often here in Texas and a week or 2 after the grass is greener than anywhere else.
This is going to work like a charm!
Now that is a dark color!
Smoked it off and it's still striped! Nobody stripes better than Pete.
Just wow.... that's some crazy stuff. It must be soo good for the soil too.
I was going to suggest exactly this but thought about it and when I tell people I do that early spring I get all kinds of odd looks. But this is really the best option.
I was thinking the same thing.
Crazy Pete is at it again.
I've burned our dormant bermuda the last 3 or 4 springs. You actually want the slow burn because it burns more completely. I always burn on a day with just the slightest breeze and burn from the downwind side, which purposely gets it to burn slow because the wind is pushing back against the flame.
Nice work Pete.
Pete does it again. Another banger of a video. Thanks Pete, you the man!
Neighbor be like. Oh burn it now he’s watering the burnt lawn 🤣🤣🤣🔥
In the rain 🌧 🤣🔥
Cool music, rain and drone makes Some cool footage.
You just can't help but to LOVE Pete!!!!! :-)
Can’t wait to see the final product!!
I really enjoy the content you provide.
We've yet to try this! This looks cool 😎
Pete, your neighbors must think your crazy.
Good call on burning down what was left of your grass. We do this a lot in North Central Iowa on our CRP and prairie land.
Great video Pete!
Pete: ......
Pete's Wife: ...what are you thinking?
Pete: ...I'm gonna go catch the yard on fire
LOL yeah the look on her face was like....
That was incredible to watch. This might make for an interesting portion to a video...I've heard that ash from a burn will raise the pH of the soil. So you might use your pH meter to measure the pH of straight water in a container and then add some of the new burned soil and it's ash, mix and remeasure. Could also compare to nonburned soil mixed in water. Not sure if that will work to accurately measure the affect but I've heard it can raise soil pH by 40%.
Great points!
Awesome Pete !
Cool stuff ahead!
Sweet vid pete. That drone footage in the rain 🤯
That was cool Pete!
I can see the neighbors coming home from work and seeing your burnt yard and saying "What the hell is crazy Pete doing to his yard NOW???????" 😲😁😉
Awesome video. Cant wait to see my favorite KBG grass grown from ths best guy on the tubes.
You may be crazy,like a fox!Personally,I think this might be a great idea!I REALLY will the lawn!
Awesome result Pete. Can I suggest you still rotary hoe / till that ground up, rake over & over to remove all of below ground thatch etc. when all of that is removed, then apply your new soil, rotary hoe again to blend old & new soil then grade your levels. The worst thing you could do would be to not do this & create ‘layers’ within your soil profile. It would be such as shame after going to all this trouble.
Anyway, cheers mate 👍🏻🏝🇦🇺😎
I’ve was told years ago (it may be incorrect)that tilling disturbs the natural soil structure and harms the organisms that live in those layers. Obviously if you have no real topsoil/organic matter there is no choice. Maybe that’s wrong. Are you saying you don’t want to just bury your original topsoil?
Funny I just started watching your videos and that's what I thought you was saying when you would say"Just smoke it off" LOL
My dad use to do this in the fall in SC. It was not fescue for sure. But every year in March it would come back beautiful as ever without reseeding
LOOK AT THAT! The fans wanted it and GCI DELIVERED!
I saw somebody suggested you do this last video and i think its a great idea to help get rid the last of the gas
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
Pete your stripes are so strong they can still be seen in the ash lol
Can't wait to see how this works out.
You really did smoke it off 😂
You win lol
I'm subbing because of this. I'm in mid NC and planning on renovating to Bermuda myself
Amazing!
Hahaha this is great! Love it man!! God Bless!!
I absolutely hate dead lawn debris when I do a reno. Thought of this before but regs prohibit this in most of my areas. I'm now experimenting with a heavy app of D-thatch mixed in my roundup to get the dead digesting. Dead lawn debris is the most time consuming part of most of my reno's.
That is an interesting thought to test the D-Thatch with the Roundup! Please share your results if you are able to.
This may be the coolest video of 2021.
the growth is going to be INSANE next year
Yeah I've never seen someone brunt there lawn down 😂🤘
Man, I’ve seen it all! LOL!!!!
Where’s the “do not try this at home!” 🤣🤣🤣
That was awesome 😎
Woooooohooo!!! Fire!!
LET'S GET IT!!!
Well you at least inspire me to burn it. Thank you. And love the sentimental matches. Great touch Pete. 👏🏻
This is so cool. I live in NC on the coast about 5 minutes from the beach. I wish I could grow grass like this but it’s to sandy. Can’t wait to see final results.
I am also on the east NC coast as well. Very sandy here as well. Nothing is impossible I have Blue Heat KBG, Arden 15 Bermuda, and Centipede mix that is the envy of the neighborhood currently. Just feeding, mowing, and watering regularly.
Many many... years ago [70's]... everyone on the block did this about every other spring or two... spread a bunch "natural " fertilizer ... smelled ripe about a week... tilled, raked and seeded covered all with straw and watered... and it got rid of old grass and crab grass and a beautiful new yard grew into place...
Fricken sweet!
Well now I've seen everything. I predict this will be the next lawn TH-camr trend!
Incredible man
So satisfying.
Unreal , love it we couldnt get away with that up here in NY LOL
Hot damn Pete you the man burn it down baby 👍👍👍
Cool stuff
Well i
You definitely smoked it off. Great video as always. GOD bless!!!
I never knew that could be done I wouldn’t try it but that was awesome
Great video love the intro
Hell yeah!!!
Save some of that material and add to some existing lawn. Curious to see if you get a boost from it.
