That's exactly what I love about you and this community of TH-camrs. We don't show the good things and hide the bad, we show it all.

God bless man and happy 4th to you!!!
Hey Pete, I just wanted to thank you for this video on behalf of homeowner of the estimate I just ran. A contractor did a full renovation on her 15,000 square foot lawn at the end of may with half fescue, half rye, did not smoke off the existing weeds, and just turned the lawn over and did a rough grade. I’m sure you can imagine how it looks. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now. I want to thank you for how much they help my business, and today you helped me ,a stranger, help out another stranger who was being taken advantage of. You’re doing a really great and selfless thing with this channel. You are the man! Thank you!
The allelopathic property of rye grass is exactly why I overseed my lawn with it every fall. Every late winter/early spring I have the best lawn in the neighborhood, and everybody else's lawn looks like they overseeded with henbit.
Pete, this is one of your best videos. On your side. It sucks that this happened. On our side, we get to see that it happens to even the best and you walked us through to reset process. Appreciate it man!
Pete I thank you sir for setting a great example that we all can take from and apply to our daily LIVES, not just in lawn care. I always raise my kids to be accountable and to take the good with the bad. But to keep faith and continue to put the work in, knowing things will turn around and be better. Thank You for all of the teaching you do. It is greatly appreciated.
Looks similar to my lawn. I overseeded my Bermuda with perennial rye and with this Texas heat, the rye is dormant and the Bermuda is trying to push up. It should fill in over the next 3 wks…. Continue with the videos Pete. I wanna know what to do to speed up the process. Big Thx!
Pete, I have the same thing going on and I was completely stumped. I have/had an established Bermuda lawn and have overseeded rye once before. Thanks for the info, my friend. At least I know what the problem is, now
Great video really puts in prospective how difficult lawn care is to the DIY’s that think it’s easy just to throw seed and water down. Takes much more than that
This was incredibly educational. A money saver and headache avoider! Never heard of allelopathy. Now I need to know more. Is perennial ryegrass the only grass with this problem? Are there other grasses that should never be grown together? Thank you!
Thanks Pete for the info, I’m in Bermuda grass central,Georgia, I see this happen quite often and I also did this years ago, I’ve seen a lot of u tubers have the same issues,, I don’t think fescue does this, fescue usually dies out early summer here in ga due to the heat and let’s the Bermuda take over.
Pete! Love your honesty! She’s gonna be a beaut! Go all bermuda! Don’t overseed with rye or KBG! Deal with the “brown paper sack” over the winter! Happy 4th to you and your family! Cheers
Pete, I feel for you brother. A positive way of looking at it is you were able to play with some cool machines, throw down some seed and best of all you have the knowledge you share to get the green tips back. By the way you flowers are looking squared away.
I'm feeling your pain.... We bought a property last year that has an awesome croquet pitch for the backyard. Creeping Bentgrass. I had it "shining like a new penny!!" This year. A batch of very wet weather for about a week, with high temps/humidity. BAM! Copper Spot fungus. 😭
Great Vid Pete! Pronounced, Ah-Le-la-Path-ic! Paul Outlaw talks about this over at Paul's Prime Cuts. He will only over seed Rye in Bermuda if the customer insists on it. You knew what you were getting into as it should have been sprayed out in early March. But it looks so darn good, I don't blame you! Live in learn! Peace and God's Love! Chad Upstate NY
Hey Pete sorry to see that. But you're a great example of taking setbacks in your stride, learning from it, and meeting the challenge of putting it right.
Pete, thanks for sharing the successes AND the failures. It’s great to learn that not all goes well. More importantly, thanks for sharing your attitude towards setbacks. Having a good attitude always makes the bad a little more tolerable. It helps when God holds your heart, and not the temporaries of this world. Keep up the good fight and keep working on the spelling bee! #allopathic.
I received my GCI Tall fescue seed a couple of days ago for this fall and I'm very excited . It wont go bad sitting in the bag in my house till this sept will it ?
Oh, the color conundrum. I do know many who will use an annual rye just so there is a green color in the winter. Not as particular about what green color. Now I understand. The perennial rye was a question in my head from the beginning. You'll get it looking great. God bless. If you get a chance watch The Chosen tonight!! New episode
@@jdunker6301 I used annual ryegrass last fall on our new property to have a green yard all winter and to prevent erosion. I then seeded bermuda this past spring while the annual ryegrass was still thriving, then as it started to warm up I scalped the annual ryegrass as it doesn't tolerate low mowing, killed it off by just scalping and all my bermuda came right up. I am not not sure if I should do the annual ryegrass this fall or not.
Need to do content on what you expect the typical homeowner to spend following your lawn program. All the nuts and bolts including water usage. My wife will make a decision whether to leave or not depending on the $ I say I need to follow your skill set
How do you "Minimalize" Clumping with your Topdresser? When I was in the feild, it took two people to properly operate this. One to Drive, and one to feed the auger...
I think what also added to the mix is that new rye is verry agressiv groing while new Beemuda is slow when it is new seeded. You just had to much competition going on. But at leas we have learned something new.
Great video Pete! I’m having a serious issue with my lawn. Notice my lawn pulling up easily and many brown spots. I thought it was from overwatering but found out my root system is weak possibly due to over applying my pre-emergent/ fertilizer in early spring. I believe I measured the square footage of my lawn wrong and applied at a heavier rate. Is my lawn a lost cause this season or is there away to strengthen my root system? I have a combo of KBG/annual rye/ red fescue.
Pete did you use revolver to spray kill your rye? If so I had something very similar happen on my Bermuda to kbg years back on the golf course. Odd phenomenon, May god bless you, your family, your turf and business.
Pete! This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to see. I put rye down last fall and now that’s it’s summer I wanted to smoke it off and get a mix of Bermuda and KGB down. Now I’m a bit worried about my plan! What do you think? Very interesting about the rye. I have heard about this before. Do you think the release of poison is due to it reacting to the herbicide? Or just a natural thing that it does?
There was no right time to kill out rye this spring. I got major damage in almost everything that was over seeded even though I killed it out earlier…. Hard year for warm season grasses in general 💥
Pete i think you just discovered the natural way to get rid of Bermuda... a chemist could isolate the chemical released by rye grass that kills Bermuda and concentrate it into a liquid form that could be able to be applied to a fescue yard as a Precautionary or for eliminating Bermuda... just a thought
@@GCITurf Gotcha. I have the bar tread tires and they tear the turf if you're not really careful. Was looking at the tweels or either those atv tires I saw in one of your older videos.
Your flower detailing at the beginning reminded me of a sinner, to then a follower of Jesus Christ. We are born and then have some freezes from sin where it looks like we are completely dead, but then, with a little pruning here and there, Christ changes us and brings us back to life. Now we are "Rockin' and Rollin'. 🙂💕🙏
Knowing Pete, he's going to work his butt off and in a few weeks having that lawn shining again like a new penny. But it's good to know even the pros can make a mistake.
Hey Pete... Im new here, but a subscriber. I live in Wedt Michigan My 20,000 sq. ft. Lawn is 1/3 perrinisl rye, 1/3 kentucky Blue, 1/3 turf type tall fescue. My lawn is healthy, and irrigated. What low nitrgen fertilizer do you hsve thst i think had 14% iron it? (Its basically July 1st amost.)
Would overseeding KBG with rye be a realistiic method of controlling (or at least supressing) bermuda in a cool season turf? I know Pylex is the way to go but I only have 1000 sqft and no spray equipment since I'm more of a granular guy, so the price point is a little hard to commit to. I've read that regular apps of Triclopyr can help keep the bermuda from growing so rapidly but it won't get rid of it.
Another TH-cam guy had the same thing happen to his seeded bermuda lawn that was also overseeded with ryegrass. I believe the freeze/frost you both got damaged your year old bermuda along with the rye allelopathic. You're both in NC.
At the going price of Pylex, can't believe someone hasn't figured out how to simply separate whatever that is in Rye and sell it to us fescue sowers to beat back the wild Bermuda. The chemist that does that will make a pile.
i think the failure comes from the moment you put soil on the verbuda seed. I think you have to seed vermuda on the surface and just cylinder it after that.
I did the same thing I didn't know I was supposed to spray out the rye now I got two bear to the Bone spots in my lawn I didn't know what was going on so when I heard you say you was going to mix Bermuda and rye grass I figured let me jump on the bandwagon do what Pete did thanks to you now I know why we got these bald spots in the lawn now the Bermuda all around these bald spots or just as green as they want to be got me scratching my head a little bit and I figured just wait it out and hopefully I can have some grass there before Thanksgiving strong enough to withstand the first Frost in case you were wondering I'm in southeast Pennsylvania oh and the six people who did not like this video I guess they like being lied to classes always in session Pete we are all students in this thing called life you win some and you lose some but you live to fight another day I have all the faith in the world 🌎 in you buddy can't wait to see what you do next I'll see you in the lawn in my Allan Hand voice LOL!!!
Not everything goes well. I have a beautiful mimosa tree in my front yard for 6 years I grew from a seedling. While I was looking at it a quarter of the tree just fell off for no reason and almost hit me. God was watching over me. Good thing I stopped to pick those couple weeds while mowing or it would have hit me. I trimmed it up and it looks better but not ideal. Just destroyed my tree I saw as being perfect. It will probably grow back in pretty quick but will never be the same.
@@lawn2learn Not when you have a sloped and non-irrigated lawn . I have shade grass around that tree and it does great. Also I love the tree and want to keep it.

Is your dominant variety fescue or what
Be careful I don’t think it’s recommended to overseed rye grass every year.

Doc's back yard got toasted with Rye too. He lost part of his yard and then he lost his putting green while he was gone.

Never seen that before. Looks like the mix was too hot especially if it moved off target that much. It happens to the best of us.
