I just dethatch, overseed seed, throw down peat moss, and water. Even if I'm doing a small area, I dethatch the area and use the scarifier to clear any grass and break up the dirt
What a coincidence. I just told my husband the other day that we don’t need to aerate as long as we have good seed to soil contact. As always, great content! That grass germinated very quickly! 💪🏾
OK now you just assured me that what I did this year is correct. I did not get the yard aerated this year. I just dethatched and cut it low and put seed down. I do have germination after 7 days( tttf). I put down peat moss on my bare area. I think I'm going to be alright.
I cut down detached and aerated because I had a wonderful stand from the first of the year or from September last year here it is the end of September here I'm a month late putting down which is why I did what I did at any rate by the spring I had the most beautiful stand of cool weather Grass ever was and then two floods came so from the streets around me they flooded me covered me up with crabgrass Dallas grass nimble wheel I don't even know man and lo and behold drought and I think what struck me was either either some kind of fungus or it could have very well been grubs or both at any rate destroyed it so there's your answer to why I went through the whole rigmarole again you know cut down that an area the difference being this time rather than put down like an overseed which I know last September was the first oversee this long has seen I suspect and close to 40 years as it was a rental I just don't believe that my roots got a good enough grab to handle those first two floods and therefore they just didn't make it well this time I put down enough seed for a brand new yard so I hope that should it take like I said I just finished last week in September going into the first October I am late in north Alabama. but if it should take I should have enough of three different fescues to choke out anything we will see. Captain out
Well grace I have always taken good care of my yards, however until last September I had never done a complete overseed.. It was so beautiful until so until All that stuff happened. I'm pretty lucky I've got a pretty fair stand of the perennial Rye grass And appears that some of my festives have survived the cool weather. I'm pretty sure you'll be good.. I've already cut mine once. I think I'm gonna wait to put out my Preemergence to about middle to end next month.. I'm going to get a jump on all this stuff I inherited from those floods.good luck.Nutin prettier than a well kept lawn.
So nice to see the garden weasel at work. I use mine upside down to get a bit more scratch in the dirt and it pulls dead material from the grassy spots. Yep, go easy on the seed and commit to a multi season approach. solve the problems as they come up, don't get out ahead of where the grass actually is. Love your work.
I have Bermuda in my backyard around 500 sq feet. It’s not doing as good as the first 2-3 years. I have about ~70 sq feet of one area that weeds took over and grass is pretty much non existent. Clovers starting to grow in patches in other areas. Should I over seed with Bermuda? Or is it possible to seed with another grass type?
The Garden weasel is a standard tool used to ensure the seed is properly nested in the soil especially around the edges of surfaces where the seed can get washed away. This is a common practice among lawn care pros. Thanks for watching!
Me too and didn't cover the whole yard. It was getting dark. Expecting rain for 3 days, and it did. Also, it's getting dark sooner. We'll we also were having mid 80s and sunshine. So I waited late to complete the job. My grass was hard. I watered it in the morning, but it wasn't long enough. I wanted it damp before seeding. Oh well, I hope it will be ok. I hope I didn't put too many seeds down. 😊 I scarified only. I'm 62. My body starts to hurt after I'm done, but not during. Better at cutting and edging 😂🤞🏼Great video. I didn't watch first.
Looks great. Thanks for these tips. My grass was so spotty in some areas in my front & side lawn, & along the edges in the back. I just reseeded yesterday, then watered it in. We were supposed to get some rain today, but it never came :/ I was going to apply humate afterwards. I don't know what I'm doing so I'ma need to binge watch your channel.
Sounds like you're on the right track. Keep the seeds moist. 2 or 3 times per day for 5 or 10 minutes until seeds start to germinate. Don't forget starter Fertilizer and cut back on the watering after germination. Or check out the videos 😂
Looks good. I did something similar but I think I chose the wrong seed mix. Only thing that stands in spring are "clumps" of Bluegrass, which I guess was in the seed mixture. Everything looked like it was filling in as the germination happened, but Spring is a different story. perhaps the mix included an annual rye instead of perennial.
I literally watched about 6 lawncare videos before landing on this one - (I have my checklist numbered #1-8 for proof) - and you eliminated about 6 things off of the list! I don't have the fourplay or the 3-18-18 & I could've sworn you said you were in Germany. So thanks for confusing me lol, now I'll have to try to find those products & change my game plan. 🤞🏽
Very nice video, very similar to what I just did with about 45 dead spots of sizes ranging from eight inches to five feet wide. Garden weasel, peat moss spreader included. I did a Jonathan Green Black Beauty seed mix of tall and fine fescues, perennial ryegrass and Kentucky blue. The only difference was I put down some Scott's soil down after using the weasel and before seeding and sowed it in with the weasel. Then I applied starter fert and peat before starting the watering process. One thing I learned for me was the sprinkler was taking too long. With all the areas I did it would take three hours between watering and moving the sprinklers since I do not have a water system. I started walking around with the garden hose and a hand held sprinkler and hit each spot with low volume but with a good soaking. Takes me a half hour. Getting good results so far.
I would think since you are really just trying to keep the seeds moist so they germinate, you would want to water more frequently but much less time. Maybe 3-4 times a day but maybe only for 5 minutes a time. Wish my grass was available in seed. Unfortunately St Augustine is sod and plug only.
in normal circumstances yes, you are correct but as I stated because of my micro-climate, I was able to water one good cycle and it stayed moist for the entire day due to the shaded area not drying out.
I just cut my yard monday i put some scotts Bermuda grass and Pennington Bermuda as well cause i live in west texas i watered the grass Tuesday night for about 2 hrs at night yesterday i raked on the bald spots i had and layed seeds with my hand spreader on 5th setting and then watered yard for about 2 hrs after laying seeds untill about 10pm and then it sprinkled light till this morning around 6am now ill water it again tonight or should i do it 3 times a day insted of once a day 2 hrs in the later afternoon around 8pm which would be better thanks for the help as well
@@TurfTherapy thanks for the reply I just cut it yesterday I cut it on the 3rd setting and watered it this morning from 5:45am till 6:30 I'll keep it pretty moist thanks for your help
@Eli-qr9hc remove the grass and put something else there that doesn’t require water is the only other sensible option. An old school pro told me “don’t grow grass where it doesn’t want or can’t grow”
How many times a day did you water when it wasn’t raining? Temperature here in June is 24c. If I’m to keep it moist I would be watering every hour! Thanks for the video.
I am in Boston area. So you used perennial ryegrass seed? This seed is quick germination but not as good as black beauty seed?Reseeded one side of my neighbors front yard. Very small. About 500 sq ft. Did this past Wednesday September 28th. Used Jonathan Green black beauty original seed. Applied starter fertilizer then peat moss. Hopefully get decent germination before first frost.
I used a 3-way blend of Kbg, Rye, and creeping fescue. Yes, you're cutting it close for seeding. If it doesn't work out I'll have tips for you on how to get it right this spring! 😉🌱
Rye is the easiest … try that with kbg You can plant rye a wheel barrel full of dirt and get germination!! Didn’t watch the whole video but why is the grass weak in those spots to begin with? Shade, fungus, insects, ph, runoff, etc…. I’m other words are you going to address the issue or just Overseed every season?
Rye is easy grass to grow but not sustainable, in your area I would’ve went straight to Bermuda if you have the sun for it. It needs nothing.Fescue maybe

6:20 Are you doing that after seeding or before? Seems like an aggressive tool to use on seed, so hopefully before.
