I live in the deep south - Mobile, AL - and I bought my house about 5 years ago. The previous homeowner didn't do me any favors, and I've struggled to try to keep weeds (75-85% weeds at this point!) from overtaking what little grass was already there. I'm finally at the point where I can't take it anymore! I'm going to kill off the front yard and start over! I live in a cul-de-sac, so my front yard is only about the size of the area you did in this series. I'll worry about the back yard next year - it's about 4 times the size! My soil is very sandy, and even though I don't have any trees in my yard, I am surrounded by them, so the East side along the driveway stays shaded until almost mid day. From mid day to late afternoon it's full-on sun! Thanks for making these videos! I now have an idea of what I need to do and how to go about getting it done. I might need to contact SeedSuperStore for the best seed option for me. Thanks again. Peace and love.
I loved the cloning. You have a great ability to know what questions I have and answer them. O and I’ve talked myself out of overseeding this spring. Now I am debating kill most of the backyard and start over this fall simply because I need to level or just top soil it and overseed. Watching and trying to learn. Take care
OMG Ryan, I literally watched you use the mower and verticutter yesterday on that side of the lawn and now it's all torn up. Can't wait for the next video to see how that went down.
Love that tenacity on crabgrass, I use it as a post emergent and I’ve seen it absolutely mess up later tiller staged crab grass. My older neighbor can’t thank me enough for what I did to his outbreak. He thought it didn’t work and was very skeptical about it because it took about two weeks, but boy is it a thorough kill. Unfortunately if you have a fescue lawn it is very hard on it, says the fescue will bounce back but in my experience some of it doesn’t, I’ve been actually using it on regular tall fescue outbreaks in my lawn and it does a number on that as well.
Very interesting. I'm going to try it on my tall fescue patches in the backyard and see if I can get rid of them. The instructions mentioned fine fescue where it can cause damage but not as much tall.
Connor Ward tried Bens Aussie accent, don’t want him having another self with that accent, he made us Aussies cringe a little.That would be a real pisser offer.🤣😂
Just did a lawn renovation myself and I'm having the same exact issues. Major pythium blight and now crabgrass coming in. I used the Scott's Disease Ex because I could get it faster. About $18-19 a 10lb bag. Good video, subscribed!
@@thomaslocke38 the pythium blight can slow when th weather cools and humidity drops. High salinity and nitrogen, along with poor drainage and extended periods of rain can make it come on strong.
Ryan, I suggest you try out Pete's nozzle from CGI. It does two things over the standard fan tip nozzles that come with these types of sprayers: 1) offers a wider spraying width (7-8ft wide) & 2) doubles the output. So normally a 4-gal backpack covers 4,000 sq. ft., Pete's nozzle allows a 4-gal sprayer to cover 8,000 sq. ft. No need to refill it. Nice feature.
If you can get the clone to help with the actual work instead of just nagging, you'll be done in half the time! Great video as always. Can't wait for part 2.
Love the cloning thing, but I agree with you with the darn fungus that has been tormenting us all this season. High humidity and rain, too often, too much. I've used the Scott's disease EX and it works pretty well to contain it, but it seems to come right back after 30 days, so I've put it down 3x, and now that it's the end of the season, and more conditions that have been favorable, I'm hoping the Eagle spray of class 3 fungicide will help contain it for the rest of the season. Grubs suck too!!! New lawn looks pretty good, but man that snowy, moldy fungus looks horrible.
Yeah, I can relate to crabgrass issues. I'm getting ready to overseed so I don't want to put down crabgrass halts for another 6 weeks or so but man, I need to spray!
You are officially a serial killer this fall and I'm loving it. Out with the old, bring in the new. Unlike KBG, PRG jumps up and you still have tons of time for a reno. I renovated with some KBG midnight 4 weeks ago and it's just reaching 1". It's painfully slow but worth the wait. Can't wait to see what you are up to. Your backyard days are numbered....I promise.
I still haven't touched my Chapin since getting the sprayers plus. But check out the nozzle from Pete over at gci turf. It's not cheap, and he's pretty secretive about it until you buy it, but for broadcast apps it saves a ton of time. 8 foot passes really cuts down on the amount of back fourth while walking at leisurely pace.
I have a fairly small yard in the grand scheme of things so I actually like the fan tips that are a little less wide. I'll look into it a bit more though. Thanks!
I feel so bad for you Ryan I have crabgrass too it is so annoying I feel your pain don’t worry it will die soon and in March put a preemergent crabgrass control down and it will prevent it from growing
Lol great you are killing your front area too now hahahaha. I actually saw a pile of dirt you posted on your Instagram last week and that gave me a clue :)
Hey I was just wondering how that was going. Thanks for the update. Hey I think you should tune your snowblower for the winter. Farmers almanac is calling for lots of snow this winter. Ps, nice teaser at the end!!!!
Ryan knorr! Did you know both Bayer and Scotts changed their fungicides this year? Scott's to azoxystrobin and bayer to propiconazole. I've been buying headway from seed world USA and paying shipping and suddenly Scotts and Bayer together make headway. It's like that peanut butter cup commercial where "bam" the two run into each other and make a great hew product! I'm sure you've seen Matt and probably Pete using a combo of class 3 and 11 to make a home rolled version Headway. We actually have Scotts dumping their old formula and now using azoxystrobin! Couldn't believe it myself. And, it got better, Bayer was using something else and changed to propiconazole! Who would believe? Seed world was my go to for heritage g and headway but two miles away is lowes and wow! July August and September will never be the same for me again. And more affordable. I know spraying azoxystrobin is better than the granular but have you priced azoxystrobin lately? $hit!
I can say that the Scott's Azoxy blend seems to work pretty well, but it takes a good 3 bags per 10-12k and it lasts for 30 days, but needed to apply 3 times this year, so it's super expensive and frustrating. Spraying 2%, class 3 prop, doesn't seem to be enough, so that's a waste of money. I've put down the Eagle class 3 and hopefully it sustains me for the rest of the season, which has been ridiculous with the rain and humidity. I don't recall it being this humid all the time, like the whole year. Grass is constantly wet and damp.
Brian Schmitz I agree with you. If you apply azoxystrobin and propiconazole together at preventive rates you can save money and get synergistic effects from applying them together basically making a curative product. But you're right on for my neck of the woods I start in July and apply three apps thru sept. Funny I always have the myclobutanil on hand as a booster too
I have the Sprayers Plus BL25E and really like it. I think you'll be happy with yours.Check out Pete's (GCI) website if you want a wider spaying tip for your sprayer.
It got a lot of the first round but between wash outs and it wearing off there is a period of time there when things will still come up. Sprayed again and all went well.
You mean another 65 ford pickup. Them there’s some fancy classics. Y’all could take them to town wearing yer Sunday’s bests and get a bath and a hair cut.
Great video today. I enjoyed the double argument scene. Looks like you got a surprise for the next video. Can’t wait. Also, quick question. Iba e cools season turf and i recently over-seeded and now it appears that I have some fungus coming through. How soon can I throw something on it after over-seeding.
Hey Ryan..could desperately use your help! I killed and seeded my entire lawn the last weekend of September (I'm in Tennessee). I used tenacity at time of seeding..but I had some severely contaminated topsoil and weeds now growing strong in the yard (creeping charlie or buttercup it looks like). I added some more seed to struggling spots just last week. My question is...when can I mow and when is it safe to treat these weeds? If I wait until it's been mowed a couple times and all grown in..will it be too late in the season to spray? I've heard that the buttercup can be aggressive even though winter and I don't want it taking over more than it already has.
I sure hope that wasn't pythium blight or know as seedling blight in your case. Azoxystrobin may help as a preventive but not as a curative. Subdue maxx is your best bet. Or hope for cool weather. FAST
Subdue max will get rid of that plight. I grew tall fescue from seed at the beginning of summer and the humidity and overnight rains made it a breeding zone for plight. Subdue max was the only thing that would give results
Love the ending....to be continued! Question, my renovation is going well but I'm having a weed problem too....when can I spray herbicide? I seed early September. Thanks
Hi Ryan. Thanks for all the great videos. I wanted to ask your honest opinion on 2 of the sprayers you have one being the sprayers plus 105E and the other being the Milwaukee sprayer. Which one do you prefer regarding to noise, spray pattern, weight and which one would you recommend regardless of the price tag. Thanks
Hi Ryan, do you have a recommended "schedule" or maintenance plan when it comes to how often you should spray Tenacity to have a weed-free lawn? My lawn is right next to a huge open field full of weeds, and my neighbors yards are full of weeds as well. So I assume weed seeds will spread to my lawn in full force maybe year round.
Honestly I have yards around me that are completely untreated and completely unfertilized and so the weed pressure is high. I rarely have to use weed killers and I just focus on the proper things to get the grass thick enough to crowd out everything else. Otherwise with tenacity I don't know of a specific schedule.
Good tips Ryan. Any suggestions on getting rid of mushrooms? Milwaukee has had a lot of rainy weather as well. Mushrooms are popping up like crazy on my front lawn. I am hoping that using my new Greenworks dethatcher like yours will bring up the dead grass and thatch which maybe causing the growing mushrooms??? I am waiting for the go ahead in Milwaukee to dump yard waste in curbs for City Fall pickup along with leaves. Like you, I plan on using the Greenworks dethatcher in Fall and Spring from now on. Thanks, Don from Milwaukee
The mushrooms should go away but it could be a little bit of extra thatch that is holding moisture there for them to grow. I find them in my yard when things are very wet but they usually go away rather quickly when it dries up a little bit.
I'm in MKE area too, and I've had fungus and saw some mushrooms earlier this season. You've got fungus. Not surprising with the crazy rainy, humid weather we've had this year. I know you asked Ryan, but I would go with a propiconazole 14.3 spray(online), which is a class 3. It's much stronger than the Bayer fungicide spray, which is only like 2%. Or, you could try the Scott's Disease Ex, active ingredient, class 11, azoxystrobin. I found bags of it at Meijer's for like $17. You could try Heritage G(online). Best to do both, if possible, but I think since we're at end of season, one dose of either should temper it, and go preventive next season. :-)
Nice job Ryan. I see those exact crab grass sprouts In my killed off and reseeded area. I did not use tenacity. Clearly should have. It’s not terrible but it bothers me lol. Is the granular fungus control ok to use if I seeded sept 8th?? It hasn’t all fully germinated yet. Thanks again
I guess it depends on how bad the fungus is at this point. My yard is pretty much fully germinated so I decided to go for it but I'm not sure if I were still waiting on full germination.
I've noticed in some of your videos that you have the Milwaukee sprayer, is there a reason you don't use it ? I've been thinking of buying one since I've already got several batteries.
Hey Ryan, curious as to how long it had been since you first applied the Tenacity? I'm going on week 3 of my fescue lawn renno and noticed I'm starting to get some crabgrass as well. Should I wait till 4 weeks?
I'm guessing the Swardman guy talked you into going lower, and you brought in some decrepit lawn junk ornaments, I mean topsoil in an attempt to go reel low. You should go with sand!
Ryan, I know you live close by and this place in town sells all the t-jet nozzles you could think of. They are only a few bucks each. Better to see them and they have a spot to spray. Best of luck with the new project. www.sprayers.com
They are CRAP! I purchased one and pump went out after one session and now having a hard time getting it replaced under warranty from the manufacturer ......
@@ryanknorrlawncareThanks for your reply. I live in Pennsylvania and our soil is typically low pH so annual liming is routine. But peat moss is acidic, so when it's used to plant seed should additional lime be added or is the amount not significant enough to impact the seed and new grass?
This fellow lawn enthusiast did a pretty cool setup to test the spray distribution of his fan tip sprayer: th-cam.com/video/_umpDUDcGXc/w-d-xo.html You could probably re-create it with yours and then you know how far to overlap each pass to make up for the tapering off at the outside of the fan.
Cool video and I like the suspense left at the end. Lol
Taking talking to yourself to the next level, well done! I'm having same fungus, discovered it last night, keep us updated on what works and doesn't.
So far the heritage seems to have done the trick.
Awesome video once again. One on my fav. Glad you show the good and the bad of your lawn care. Lose a battle but win the war!
That's a great way to put it!
This might be your best one yet. You always have great information, but you also showed off more of your personality in this one.
Glad to hear that! I'm trying to do that a little more.
Your BEST video yet! Crabgrass...lawn cancer. An Insidious, invasive, opportunistic invader.
Thanks! I'm glad I found Tenacity because it has been a great help.
Good information on the Sprayers+

Thanks for the shout-out on sprayer nozzle testing.
No problem!
LMAO!! @ The Ryan vs. Ryan segment. That was ultra cool, man! Great edits!
Nice editing, Ryan! Way to keep us on the edges our seats at the end.
That damn Swardman took the lawn down to the dirt 😀
Beautiful....nothing like new blades!
Yup. Hey would you mind stopping by tommorow to my channel?? I have a good video coming I think you'll love for sure
Yeah I can tell you the other Ryan top dressed front lawn. Great video! 😎
OMG Ryan, I literally watched you use the mower and verticutter yesterday on that side of the lawn and now it's all torn up. Can't wait for the next video to see how that went down.
Yeah things got a bit out of control in between...haha
Looks like you’re doing some leveling at the end there. I always have to do that around my driveways as well! Everything is coming in well!
I liked the intro brother! It was funny! The lawn you just planted is looking great! 👍
Oh man that teaser at the end!!! Dang it Ryan lol! Nice one!

I can almost guarantee that you have not watered at night. Other than the fungal issue, that reno is looking fresh!👍 Excellent content!
No watering at night. It's been so extremely humid that the lawn would be wet from about 7pm-10am the next day just from dew and high humidity.
Hopefully Allyn doesn't see this one and steal the idea. He'll talk to himself for hours (clone with a full Chicago accent). 😂
That would be great!
Connor Ward tried Bens Aussie accent, don’t want him having another self with that accent, he made us Aussies cringe a little.That would be a real pisser offer.🤣😂
I felt sorry for left Ryan. Right Ryan was being a bit of a dick 🤣
Since your full time youtube now the videos are going to get insane. I can see it already. Good stuff.

Man me too, I put down the same stuff. Do you know if it will stop with the cooler weather? Can't find a answer anywhere.
@@thomaslocke38 the pythium blight can slow when th weather cools and humidity drops. High salinity and nitrogen, along with poor drainage and extended periods of rain can make it come on strong.
I started using my blower to dry off the dew in the mornings if I wasn't watering as well. Seems to help.
@@jaimz11 yeah I seeded too heavy around the edges of my yard and that's where it really hit hard. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I can relate to crabgrass issues. I'm getting ready to overseed so I don't want to put down crabgrass halts for another 6 weeks or so but man, I need to spray!
Tenacity is a miracle worker.

Going through the same thing on my renovation. Crab grass popping up with tenacity wearing off, and looks like the same fungus issue I have
I have the Sprayers Plus BL25E and really like it. I think you'll be happy with yours.Check out Pete's (GCI) website if you want a wider spaying tip for your sprayer.
The ones that came with it are actually a bit too wide for my liking. The chapin one fits in there so I'll practice with it and see what I think.
How come the tenacity didn't kill all that crabgrass? Currently watching your lawn renovation playlist and its great!
It got a lot of the first round but between wash outs and it wearing off there is a period of time there when things will still come up. Sprayed again and all went well.
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care thanks!
ya man fungus sucks. prg seems to get more fungus than kbg. lawns looking good. good work
Actually the bluegrass got it and the ryegrass was totally fine
What happened over there? Your neighbor got another junk car? Its a shame a guy with a nice Challenger and lawn has to tolerate that.
I was more referring to the lawn...haha
You mean another 65 ford pickup. Them there’s some fancy classics. Y’all could take them to town wearing yer Sunday’s bests and get a bath and a hair cut.

Also, quick question. Iba e cools season turf and i recently over-seeded and now it appears that I have some fungus coming through. How soon can I throw something on it after over-seeding.
Is it happening on the new growth or just on existing grass?

Why would you lay down a post emergent? Won't winter kill it? If not couldn't you lay down a pre emergent during the spring? Sorry Billy Noob here!
Winter will kill it but we're a long way from that yet (I hope) so this will run wild until we get a freeze which I also hope is not for a while yet.
Great video
I sure hope that wasn't pythium blight or know as seedling blight in your case. Azoxystrobin may help as a preventive but not as a curative. Subdue maxx is your best bet. Or hope for cool weather. FAST
It was listed on the bag as a curative but also we got cool weather in today. It was 95 yesterday and low tonight is 42. That's Iowa!
any chance it was the peat moss you throwing down constantly?
Oh no what happened at the end!?!?
You will find out very soon!
How does the sprayers plus compare to the flow one to do lawn fertilizer applications? I am currently looking at both. Thanks!
Awesome video
Subdue max will get rid of that plight. I grew tall fescue from seed at the beginning of summer and the humidity and overnight rains made it a breeding zone for plight. Subdue max was the only thing that would give results
Love the ending....to be continued! Question, my renovation is going well but I'm having a weed problem too....when can I spray herbicide? I seed early September. Thanks
Did you use any Tenacity?
@@ryanknorrlawncare no..... tenacity. Just seed and fertilizer.
For typical weed control (like 2-4d) then you would need to wait 2-3 mowings before using anything.
@@ryanknorrlawncare ok..... thanks for the hel
I'd ask the other guy about 9:02. I'm willing to bet he had something to do with it :)

Nice job Ryan. I see those exact crab grass sprouts In my killed off and reseeded area. I did not use tenacity. Clearly should have. It’s not terrible but it bothers me lol. Is the granular fungus control ok to use if I seeded sept 8th?? It hasn’t all fully germinated yet. Thanks again
I guess it depends on how bad the fungus is at this point. My yard is pretty much fully germinated so I decided to go for it but I'm not sure if I were still waiting on full germination.
I’m going to sit tight and be patient then. Hardest part of lawn care lol
tom green awesome feedback!! Thanks. I will wait I and definitely be applying it in late spring. Nights are dipping below 65 nowadays. Appreciate it
I've noticed in some of your videos that you have the Milwaukee sprayer, is there a reason you don't use it ? I've been thinking of buying one since I've already got several batteries.
I use it for certain things but my sprayer plus just feels a bit more comfortable on my back
Hey Ryan, curious as to how long it had been since you first applied the Tenacity? I'm going on week 3 of my fescue lawn renno and noticed I'm starting to get some crabgrass as well. Should I wait till 4 weeks?
Like the little changes to your editing. Seem to have a little more fun
Did you have issues with the 105ex battery charger? Recently purchased a 105ex and the battery charger doesn’t work.
Nope I have not...I've had mine for 3 years
Either your brother is a twin, or you’re just showing off now!
Just having a little fun. :)
waukee eh. Im from iowa too!
If it's the same thing I had happen in my yard this September. I'm going to guess grubs.
I'm guessing the Swardman guy talked you into going lower, and you brought in some decrepit lawn junk ornaments, I mean topsoil in an attempt to go reel low. You should go with sand!
nice edits ryan...
Is the Toro Timemaster worth the money?
In my opinion, yes.
Ryan, I know you live close by and this place in town sells all the t-jet nozzles you could think of. They are only a few bucks each. Better to see them and they have a spot to spray. Best of luck with the new project. www.sprayers.com
Cool, thanks for the info!
I bet the vertical cutting and dethatching happened over there.
Did the swarbman jack up your lawn that much!?!
I'll explain very soon. :)
Matching the side yard was my initial guess. Excited for the vid
They are CRAP! I purchased one and pump went out after one session and now having a hard time getting it replaced under warranty from the manufacturer ......
Must have been bad luck. I've had mine for 3 years and no issues 🤷♂️
@@ryanknorrlawncare I know I see you guys with this sprayer and got one and the support to replace it sucks.... like all the content you give...
How do you sharpen your mower blade ? If you use a grinder what # should I purchase ?
I actually have a video on that exact topic on my channel.
Do you add lime when you use peat moss?
You will only need lime if you have low pH in your soil
@@ryanknorrlawncareThanks for your reply. I live in Pennsylvania and our soil is typically low pH so annual liming is routine. But peat moss is acidic, so when it's used to plant seed should additional lime be added or is the amount not significant enough to impact the seed and new grass?
@@kathy8590 you should be using a really light layer to where I don't think you would see any issues
I just did some topsoil. Do I seed and pat in then out more topsoil on top then peat moss. Or do I seed pat in then add peat moss
Seed then roll preferably and then peat moss. Check out my house to seed a lawn video for a little more detail
@@ryanknorrlawncare when I out down the topsoil should I tamper it in? Then add seed and roll that in?
You gave pythium and The fungicide you are esing will not work to correct the issue. You need to buy some subdue fungicide
In south india, we call this double acting....😃🤣😂😁😀
YOU HAVE A TWIN 😱
Your clone sounds like my wife!
I talk to myself too.
Very much the conversation that goes on in my head...haha
Woah
If you follow Ryan on Instagram you might of caught a hint of what he did to his front lawn. 🤣
This fellow lawn enthusiast did a pretty cool setup to test the spray distribution of his fan tip sprayer:
th-cam.com/video/_umpDUDcGXc/w-d-xo.html
You could probably re-create it with yours and then you know how far to overlap each pass to make up for the tapering off at the outside of the fan.
you talk to yourself also, I thought I was the only one :)
I work out in the yard all day by myself so I have to have someone to chat with. :)
Cool dialogue lol
