I love how natural and comfortable you are behind a camera now, compared to your earlier videos 👍
Come on leaps and bounds as a channel
Thank you, I'm always learning and improving, so hopefully each video is a little bit better than the last.
But it's all still a work in progress!
Top video.. Well explained and I enjoyed learning too from a different perspective 😊😊
Hope you are feeling better 😎
Congrats Robbie on reaching 85k
Thank you
Couldn’t have timed that any better. Just been out this morning looking at my lawn in despair because of all the weed grasses!😫
It seems this winter has been worse than normal for amg because of all the rain. I had a pure ryegrass lawn and it thinned out over winter and let the amg take over. I'm overseeding with strong red fescue so hopefully it thickens up and competes better with amg. Would be great to see some red fescue in your test plot. Great video as always robbie 👍
Thanks! I live on Long Island in NY, followed your advice and went from the worst lawn on the block to the best and neighbors thinking I had it professionally done!
Hey Tom, thank you so much for your support! 😍 Have you joined the Private facebook group for more tips?

Great video as ever Guys , 2 weeks after my scarify and seed and top dress and i see the AGM. Oh well time for more work keep safe guys
Can't keep it out unfortunately 😕😔
Thanks for the watering tip, I did not know that about amg roots. Cheers!

Your video has come at the right time for me
AMG has gone wild in my lawn this year and I’ve been on my hands and knees with a fork pulling it out. I swear as I pull one bit out another two appear
Good info about the weed👍
Your on a lossing battle
Just realised we have this in our lawn despite taking good care
Thank you this was a great video. Have been watching another man channel where the guy claimed to have dug it all up in a large lawn, but seems in vain for the reasons given. I also won’t bother killing off my own lawn and starting again having watched this as if the seeds last 5 years it will just come back.
Seeing the problem you have in your own lawn will help me manage my own expectations.
Out of interest is the mulch option on the lawn mower a bad option as it will spread this ?
It will spread anyway, but mulching will probably seed it up
Thanks
Hi Malcolm, I really appreciate the support 🙏
@@Premier_lawns_official No worries you e saved me much more
I cut the grass for my grandma cause she can’t and I’m trying to make it look like a proper English lawn but I only come once a week so I can’t use the 1/3 rule.. what should I do
In my humble opinion, the best option, the one that resolved the problem in my lawn, is to say goodbye to ryegrass and use a good quality bent grass. Perfect for stripping and pretty much looks after itself.
No thanks!
I like the colour of rye and fescue
@@Premier_lawns_official is that the only downside of bent grass?
@@a_m8330 I like it because of the colour, bent needs pruning (verti cutting), its not as hard wearing and doesn't stipe up as well or provide that dark green colour
There is a trend at the moment for bent grass lawns and lots of folks are jumping on it
Last couple of years there was a trend for 100 rye lawns, then people found they were shit in the winter. Especially this one as it was so wet
It depends on what you want.
The biggest lie going is that bent grass lawns will stop AMG, if that's true walk onto any golf course and look at their greens.
Most greens are mostly AMG, and they have the tools and resources....
I was a green keeper for 20 years and worked at 6 different courses and in that time from small local clubs to the best club in the area they all had one thing in common and that was the greens were full of AMG
@Premier_lawns_official thanks Robbie.
@@Premier_lawns_officialwhat percentage of rye to fescue do you like roughly?
Highly recommend less frequent watering so many benefits to it 👌
100 percent!
@@Premier_lawns_official
It’s never stopped raining ☔️
Dare I say , a couple of good presenters 💯🥂
We really need the proper products to manage this🙄.. I did some testing with “pelargonzuur” that’s How we call it in belgium. It seems to kill of the amg, and not kill the ryegrass completely. I’m going to do further testing with light mist of product 👍🏻. The biggest lawn area was overtaken by amg. 😩
I was wondering what those seed heads were on my grass....and strangely, it's the first season I've seen them with shorter grass.....thanks..
Robbie. Help me! I followed your video on verticutting which seems to have got my meadow grass under control.
However, yorkshire fog is now spreading. I live next to a field, and I'm not an expert in my field, so presume the fog is blowing in.
There's noticeable light green patches that look worse after rain. Do i set about them with the verticutter again or can i treat them with something? Seems once the meadow got sliced, nature wants to colonise my sward with yorkshire fog 😂
Thank you
Take a spade and dig it out 😁
@Premier_lawns_official thanks for your response. there's a lot of it....will it just keep spreading if I don't? I was wanting to avoid digging holes as last time I dug things out it took ages to recover but it is what it is hey.
Is there no selective herbicide I can apply with my sprayer?
Can I use GARDEN CULTIVATOR for seeding or any other tools you can recommend
I'm not sure what tool you are referring to
Hello, could u please do a video for ants problem? Thx a lot
how do i kill/get rid of Parsley Pert in my lawn
What width is your Deer cylinder mower?
I find that the key to beating POA is bent & fescue mix. Why? Simply because, POA needs light to germinate and if you have thin grass sward it will colonize that. The other reason for POA spreading is rye grass. Rye thins out over winter and has upright growth habit and the plants are thin compared to fescue. This makes it easy for POA to establish. Fescue and bent due their growth nature can outcompete POA over long time. Fescue grows very thick and as you said has deep roots. Bent grass on the other hand sends long stolons in different directions and if you cut the stolon by verticutting then you create simply two new clones, same way like strawberries multiply by runners.
My lawn is in shade most of the time and I had problems with POA until I found all this out. POA is a opportunistic colonizing grass type. However when your lawn is thick and can quickly cover bare patches itself POA has much more difficult job. I don't cut my lawn too short, I don't have any weeds, apart from occasional dandelion trying to grow every year, it's just grass. I didn't use any weedkillers in last 6-7 years, even for spot treatment. I also increased the height of the mowing blade and now POA has really difficult time to spread in thick grass. I am sure it seeded but lack of light doesn't allow it to germinate, the lawn is to tall and to thick for it. It only reappeared when I leveled my lawn, after it was scalped prior to overseeding. I will beat it again.
As a past green keeper I can tell you that bent and fescue 100 percent don't keep AMG out.
At the moment a lot of people are following a trend in a couple of years will probably be very disappointed
But hey yo.
@@Premier_lawns_officialI didn't even knew it is a trend until now, I've been doing this for the past 9 years on my lawn. I had rye in the very beginning, seeded by previous owner of the house but it thinned out, rye can't handle shade, all kinds of weeds colonized bare soil including moss. It germinates quickly and looks fine in the summer but in winter it's POA, Yorkshire FOG party in the rye grass.
Since I moved to bent fescue I don't have to constantly overseed, lawn is thick. I just don't cut it very low, it's second to higest setting on my rotary mower, 4-5cm approx. When I was cutting it lower the grass was thinner and allowed enough light for more POA to germinate in small gaps.
Also, I have to mention that reducing watering in my lawn wouldn't work, too much rain, I don't water my lawn at all.
@@CMDRSloma bent and fescue at 4-5cm sounds like fungus and thatch :D
Not in the shade, it grows slower. Fescue has upright habit, and grows dense and this is why it crowds out poa.
When it comes to thatch, this only a problem if it is not being decomposed fast enough. I don't use synthetic fertilizers, instead I opt for organic because it doesn't affect soil life. And if soil life thrives it decomposes dead matter in no time.
I have 15-25 bucket lid sized spots of this grass. Almost a lime colour compared to my dark lawn. Looks horrible.
Digging it out today, easy enough and will seed a mix of rye, blue, fescue in its place.

OMG its AMG...sorry.
