Thanks. Plan to put down flagship. It will be 2 weeks this Saturday. Will cut next week.

[@81carters]

I noticed you mixed the Meso 4sc 1 tsp per 1,000 sq ft. But the directions call for it to be mixed .5 tsp per 1,000 sq ft. What is the reason you went higher?

[@peterdallas]

I noticed this too

[@Slowz-ed8nv]

I plan to be using a bio stim pack, green punch, d thatch. However after watching this I also am going to overseed my SC centipede with perennial rye. Do I need to use the starter fert or am I okay with the green punch and green effect I ordered

[@richardsamski6050]

Going to do a low cut, dethatch, mechanical aerate, and reseed. Picked up a 25# bag of Johnathan Green Black Beauty Ultra for reseeding. Received my 4 quart package from Yard Mastery, RGS, Greene Punch, Greene Pop, and Air 8, planning on reseeding some time mid next week. Only have a 2000sq ft. lawn up here in N.J., but really looking forward to seeing the results. Been watching here and other channels. Been hearing a lot of "good" recommendations about these Greene County Fertilizer products on many channels. So, going it give it a try, looking forward to this Halloween with positive result as well as next spring. FYI: picked up my products through Y.M., one, like the channel, two, you folks were running a special.

[@brodygoalie]

Can you use air 8 and dethach product all season long?

[@Oinkadillo]

Just getting overseed prep started here in northern NJ (a couple weeks later than I wanted). Is there a particular reason you put the seed down first before applying the Hydretain, RGS, Air8, etc? I plan on putting the seed down last since I'm concerned about moving it around too much by dragging the hose around while spraying the Hydretain or having a ton of seed stuck to my shoes as I spray everything else.

[@brodygoalie]

You recommend air 8 and d thatch products all season long or just certain months. I believe i hsve for some reason bent grass and i onky use Jonathan green black beauty or their solor green grass seed. Hope you can help and guide me. Thanks

[@benavena727]

[@geoffkopecky3652]

Thanks !!!!j you are incredibly helpful and inspirational. j purchased the seeding pack solutions. I overseeded 2 days ago and waiting on putting down "green pop". Why put down green pop at this time since it will feed existing grass and existing grass will outcompete the new grass? The new grass may not use these nutrients for another 2 weeks? please advise how long the green pop nutrients stay in the ground for. thank you.

[@yardmastery]

The grass seed will germinate and start pushing roots within just a few days and the nutrients will still be there. However, if you want to wait and apply 2 weeks after seeding, you can do that too. It will work out just fine either way.

[@bryanjohnson1628]

QUESTION: I am overfeeding my lawn. Tenacity instructions state not to water lawn and to keep "dry" for 6 hours after application. You are putting down seed 1st. Then spraying wet with fertilizer, then spraying with tenacity, then watering. On the one hand it doesn't make sense to put down the seed, then tenacity, peat mass, and wait 6 hours. He'll the wind alone could blow everything off lawn. I thought about putting the tenacity down first, waiting 6 hours, then putting down the grass seed. Should this work? But your not waiting 6 hours at all. I would also like to know why given the 6 hour instruction. Thanks

[@rkcadet]

I thought it is recommended to wait at least two weeks from overseeding before putting fertilizer down?

[@nimamohammadi6382]

Thank you. I follow your app calendar reminder so my question is how come app suggested using Air, RGS and Humic to be sprayed on Sep 1 then seeding at the end of Sep but you did all together? Thanks again my yard looks great

[@yardmastery]

you can wait and do them all on the same day if that makes it easier.

[@jaredspecht8396]

Hey Allyn, great video. What if I’ve just moved into a house over the summer that’s got a decent amount of weeds in the lawn? Am I tackling the weeds (and with what) before doing the steps in this video?

[@yardmastery]

if you want to spray weeds 2 weeks before you perform all the seeding and stuff, that is fine. Otherwise I would not be concerned about them too much. Focus on the seed growing and the existing grass.

[@gerryhenning7337]

Great video Allyn as always, I’m sure this grass will take hold but is the aeration process( mechanical) better seed to soil contact?

[@yardmastery]

yes mech aeration does create a better seed bed so if you can get the machine then go for it!

[@richardbrea8829]

Hi Allyn, May I know what spray nozzle you are currently using in the video? Thx and keep up the good work on providing us DIY with knowledge.

[@davidfalls1770]

I'm up here by the dunes in Chesterton as well! I was thinking about doing some leveling this fall but wasn't sure when to do that in coordination with mechanical aeration and over seeding, whatchya think man? Thanks

[@yardmastery]

you guys have pretty sandy soil don't you? or do you have clay? if you have sandy soil, no need for mechanical aeration.

[@blinkishmixpix]

Good stuff Allyn! If I'm skipping the overseed this year but still want to aerate, should I keep my usual height or drop the deck a notch or two before doing so?

[@yardmastery]

if you are not seeding then just keep mowing like normal, no need to change anything, all good.

[@MarioSanchez-sx5ni]

I live in Hobart In a new construction lawn is clay soil. I plan to overseed around Sept 10 with a mix of 30%kbg, 30%creeping red fescue and 40%perennial ryegrass. I will be using air8, hydretain, lesco starter fert 18-24-12 and maybe meso since I don’t know if it’s safe for red fescue at seeding. Would like to know if I am too late to overseed and if I should use meso or just wait on the pre emergent?

[@ItzShannyBayB06]

Hi! Thank you for this. New homeowner and never done anything lawn related in my life! The kits make it so simple! If I mow low then use a manual or electric dethatcher, do I still need to aerate(use liquid aerated)? That’s the part that’s confusing me. I live in Maryland so I bought a Delmarva blend( I noticed you said not to use the generic tenacity on certain types, I guess the Delmarva is okay)? Thank you again n I look forward to your reply!!!

[@yardmastery]

you do not need to mechanically aerate if you are mowing down low and de-thatching. All good! But you can and should use the liquid aeration because it will help to loosen the soil so the seed can root in better.

[@brodygoalie]

When using yard mastery pre emergent in March or April. Should you still apply tenacity in late March early April due to having spots of bentgrass?

[@yardmastery]

yes you can do that, use the Tenacity to kill the bentgrass early in spring and stay on top of it.

[@Richard-we3zg]

I live on southside of Chicago. I have several questions. I see you mowed the lawn first. Do you mulch or bag? Do you need to dethatch at all or just use Air8? I'm going to follow what you present in the video and see how it turns out. Thank you for your videos. They are helpful.

[@yardmastery]

you can mulch the clippings, no need to bag and as far as de-thatching, that is only needed if you have a thatch problem where the lawn is spongy and you can't see the soil at all. If that is not the case, then no de-thatching needed.

[@geoffkopecky3652]

I plan on overseeding this fall (tall fescue in san diego) after aeration. 800 sq. ft. lawn, plus bought scotts turf builder triple action fertilizer for new seeding with mesotrione included .( I bought big bag for 4000 sq. ft. by mistake ) How can I not waste the extra amount since I will have extra leftover and not interfere with new germination. I messed up already. please help. thank you.

[@yardmastery]

you can use the leftover sometime next season once the new lawn is established. The mesotrione will not harm an established lawn.

[@tanktexas]

It's been over two months without rain here in Crowley Texas and 100-115 degrees everyday here. Should I use any fert on my Bermuda

[@yardmastery]

if it's dormant then no, just wait until things cool off and it starts growing again, then hit it with some potassium.

[@anna_cee]

Im in N KY, was going to do this this week since I had alot of traffic on my lawn over Halloween. I bought the Scotts Thick'r Turf grower to spread. I did a mow Nov 1st down to 3.5 inch. You mentioned 1 notch lower, so 3 in, or should i go lower? TIA hopefully you're still reading comments/.

[@yardmastery]

1 notch lower is all you need to go.

[@TheXerosyn]

@@yardmastery appreciate the write back. Overnight temps hitting freezing or near it, are my efforts pointless at this point? (water every 1-2 days for 20 days)

[@Birdknowsbest]

When mowing should you mulch the clippings or bag them? I know you bag them during over seeding but what about other times of year? Thanks

[@Mario-hd7ls]

It depends on how often mow the lawn, if is too long resulting in long clips better mow, but if your clips are tiny you can perfectly leave it on the lawn.

[@Mexi99]

Great video! I'll be overseeding and arerating in a few weeks. Was wondering the lawn looking rough after heavy rain and hot and humid temps. Do you think putting fungicide now would help it ? or it's not worth it ?

[@yardmastery]

It's a little late for fungicides - just need to wait until the weather gets a little more mild and the lawn will bounce back just fine

[@Mexi99]

@@yardmastery Thanks for the info! keep up the good work!

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Can any of you guys recommend a spreader for me. Ive got about 2000 sq in front and 3500 in back. Its more than I want to spread with my handheld as it breaks my left wrist and its not enough for a large capacity one. Thanks!

[@yardmastery]

The one Allyn uses in this video will be available in about 3 weeks. It's a great spreader for the money but not the cheapest one out there either. If you want something right away, then the Echo RB60 that is available at your local Echo dealer is also a very good piece of equipment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHS9in-goLZpbJo

[@rhubert2539]

Can you tell me the if/how the process differs for st Augustine?

[@yardmastery]

its completely different - we don't seed St Augustine grass. It grows by rhizome and stolon. Here is some really good training that will teach you all the basics: yardcarebootcamp.com

[@chrisbrown6697]

Can you still put down tenacity a day or two after over seeding

[@yardmastery]

it has to go down before germination so I would not wait any longer than 48 hours

[@JMerk2222]

Would it be a no no to throw down some flagship a week or two before aerating and overseeding?

[@yardmastery]

that would be a lot of nitrogen, probably more than you need if you are also throwing down Starter Fert.

[@mslehal1]

Is it ok to use Tenacity if sodding new lawn?

[@yardmastery]

I would not use it for that. It's only labeled for seeding applications.

[@dsull0127]

Can you apply the meso after the seed germinates if you did not at seed down time?

No. Do not apply Meso after germination.

Why is the starter fert 12-12-12 and not a ratio with more P like other traditional starter fertilizers?

[@yardmastery]

I like things to be equal when getting started.

[@mikeweiser2210]

It also really depends on how your soil is. The one step you should do before any of this is to do a soil test and get the results back. If you are more than established with phosphorus in your lawn, there really isn’t a need for equal n-p-k. Keeping your soil as balanced as possible will yield a lot better results in a stronger lawn

[@noogavan3368]

Any benefit to throwin' down some Milorganite?

[@WithTheBears]

[@hieppham6297]

Can I use prodiamine 65 WG instead of misotrione?

[@rickjames1246]

No prodiamine 65 is a true pre emergent and will not allow the grass to come up. Misoteione is safe to use on seed, won’t effect it coming up. It might bleach the new grass but that will grow out of it. I wouldn’t use it on baby grass though.

[@hieppham6297]

Oh thank you for that info. Since my back yard has so many weeds, I have applied prodiamine 65WG in summer but it seems does not work well. Do I need to use another weed killer before overseeding my lawn? Thanks

[@Piccolo_Re]

I overseeded with KBG this year, and I haven’t been able to mow for 2 weeks so far because of how long it takes to germinate. I’m worried my old grass is going to outgrow the new seedlings too quickly. I was just tired of the fine fescue in my yard that keeps dying in direct sunlight. And my dog rips up the yard a lot so I wanted a grass that repairs itself.

[@fabes326]

I mow then spray growth regulator a few days before I put seed down. Allows the new grass to not be bullied by the old grass.

[@yardmastery]

you can mow, it won't hurt anything. Just don't dance on the lawn, get in and mow and get off it, all good!
