You are actually great at breaking down the costs of everything and the actual maintenance requirements to maintain a green , plus your t-shirt selection is on point lol. Great video Jason!
Have a 60x30 foot green and the maintenance hasn’t been too crazy. Have gotten away with backlapping the mower once a month. Besides that a yearly oil change and cleaning the carburetor myself. My main expense is liquid fertilizer, sand, and gas. Spend probably $200 a year.
Hey Jason! Love the videos. I just finished watching your whole playlist about your green install. Anyway I could get a list of what fertilizer you use? I’m doing bentgrass as well.
Would depend on your soil test results first. I've used a combination/rotation of Armada and Eagle and Azoxy (armada is group 3 and 11 and the other two combined are group 3 and 11) for fungicides. Using T-nex for plant growth regulator at just over an eighth of an ounce every 200-250 growing degree days. And then a 12-0-0 liquid micronutrient product and soluable AMS and Urea. If needed, 5 pounds of a 10-10-10 every so often. And water. Gotta be watering well.
Hi Jason, thank you for your content. How do you manage that the Bentgrass didn‘t „creep“ into your Existing normal Lawn around the putting Green, so that It does Not damage it because of the stolones and sponginess. Thank you
I don't because it was already there and kind of just accepting my fate there. Depending on your main grass type, tenacity, triclopyr, fusilade (not for KBG), quinclorac, and a few others will damage it and if used over multiple applications will keep it under control to some degree.
Combo of sprinklers? Any rotor or rotator or honestly any sprinkler will do. I've seen and tried the flat piece of iron with a hole, bolt, and wingnut approach as a diy height of cut gauge. But I would recommend spending the money when cutting at greens height.
I currently have perennial rye where my putting green is being planned out, once leveled a bit with sand because right now the lowest I’m able to go is just under half inch. I’m wondering if I’m able to just overseed with bent grass later in the fall once I can mow lower.
You could overseed now. Bent is a little more heat tolerant than the other cool season grasses. Would recommend still chewing the surface up a little bit to provide a good seed bed.
Sure could. Site prep is going to be very important to make sure it's smooth, stable, etc. But I know very little about outdoor artificial turf greens.
Bermuda will be perfect for it. Common varieties may struggle at greens height, but anything that can't hang around will just die and you'll be left with what will live.
I will, on occasion, get a few weeds in the green. You can use any herbicide safe for your grass type just like in a normal lawn or simply pull the few that survive. I use Spectracides concentrate weed killer that has the yellow cap. It is safe for bentgrass, but confirm that with the label in case they change their packaging some day.

Figured it was the only t-shirt possible for this video.
@@JasonSeiberlich it’s one of my favourites in that colour! Looks good on ya 👍🏻
You can use similar mowed height for lawn bowling.
Great video 🍻
Thank you.
Great video!
Thank you.
As a 5 year old in 1996 I would wake up to my dad out grooming our 1000 sq ft bentgrass putting green in northern Indiana.
That is fantastic. This has been such a cool experience that I suggest everyone undertake if they can.

That's awesome. Fungicides are the big expense for me as well.
Great video! If I wasn't dipping to go to college in a year I would have installed a green in my backyard. Great video!!
You just crushed a whole lotta hopes and dreams! Lololol 👍🏻
Maybe from a cost perspective. But otherwise this continues to be easier than I thought.

Hi buddy, I can find any parts for my Kawasaki FG150? Do you know of any places online ?! Thank you
Sorry but honestly no clue.
7:20 what combo do you recommend? Any cheaper height of cut gauges out there? Thx!

Jason, to reduce the time and cost, couldn't I use an article putting green aka carpet and just main the rough like a regular lawn?
Sure could. Site prep is going to be very important to make sure it's smooth, stable, etc. But I know very little about outdoor artificial turf greens.
@@JasonSeiberlich it would be the same prep that you did for the bent grass. Buit Instead of planting seeds I would spread the artificial turf.
@jason do i have to eliminate all my burmuda or can i cut it down and plant bent grass? Basically overseed
Bermuda will be perfect for it. Common varieties may struggle at greens height, but anything that can't hang around will just die and you'll be left with what will live.
How do you keep the weeds out? Im hoping once i step down to 3/16" they wont survive.

Lol so funny.
Thank you
how low do you cut your grass?
I'm at 0.15" for the green, 0.375" for the fairway, and the rest of my yard is at 2.5"

Excellent video!
Thank you.
