I’m trying to resolve how you suggest that buying seed from a big box store is bad practice however this particular brand is a supplier for many big box chains possibly including the very store you were walking through at the beginning of the video. What gives?

Keep up the good work! Now to kill off a patch of bermuda grass that has taken over a corner of my backyard. I didn't even know we had bermuda in our area. Ugh!!

I’m getting certified seed from a commercial landscaping supplier that just started selling to the public. I’m doing my first renovation on a small area to get that hang of it all and the grass is coming in amazingly. Going to do a bigger area in the spring. Thanks again for all your helpful videos.

[@juzoli]

I just renovated/overseeded my yard. I didn’t want to break the bank, but by the end, I realized, the amount of work I need to do to detach, aerate, water, fertilize etc.... exceeds the value of the seed by a LOT. So the more expensive seed doesn”t change the equation much, but it can save a lot if it grows better and I don’t have to repeat it, or fix bare spots that much. I found elite grass varieties for ridiculously low price at the local landscaper supply store though, so I’m good:)

[@pestandlawnginja]

Have been planning to move back to Oregon. Lived there twice when i was younger and dumber. Now that i have a lawn business and also family there plus the Oregon coast has my soul Ive got to get back there for good! Doesnt hurt that its the grass seed capital of the world so lawns are plentiful and a guy can landscape 11 months out of the year vs 6 and a half if youre lucky here in Southern Idaho! Great video!

[@paulnicholson8524]

What do you mean 11 months? And how, it's cold. Don't mean to seem crappy but please explain.

[@Enchanted3DPrints]

@@paulnicholson8524 I mean it doesnty freeze very often so you can still do landscaping. shrubs, installs, and a bit of mowing maintenance pretty much all year! Compare that to Idaho where there ios snow on the ground 6 months out of the year and everything dies or goes dormant fot the winter. If you dont plow snow or get another job you donnt have any money

I started a new lawn 7 years ago with RTF water saver, turned out great. thanks to Jos Roozen from Garden Sense radio show. he recommended to not change the top soil bc it will only make for a weaker root system. he said grass seed can grow in poor top soil just like trees can grow in almost solid rock. and he said dont use straw, use a fine mulch/compost to cover the seed.

[@db8138]

what is the difference between there two fescue types I live in Maryland and built a house on a farm field no shade. I put a Bermuda soccer field in but wanted a fescue front so i can get nice stripes. what would u recommend which fescue would you mix in the Kentucky blue as well. Getting ready to aerate and over seed thx for all the info I'm hooked.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Its important to remember that many professional soccer fields are a cool season blend of kentucky bluegrass and perennial rye grass. Tall fescue is an awesome grass but it does not mow shorter than 1.5" well and its a wider blade grass. if you know what you're signing up for the rtf tall fescue is great. I would not suggest mixing it with bluegrass. the bluegrass grows at a slower rate and doesn't match well in my opinion.

[@wino4340]

Great Video Ginja!! With all the different varieties of grass seed, how does one go about choosing the right one for your lawn?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Good question! You need to first figure out what you want. do you want kentucky blue, rye, tall fescue etc... once you figure that out you can cross reference it with ntep.org to check color, varieties etc.

[@jerryday2851]

I love all your video's, I like it when you go to these places to check out their product. Great info and I'm looking to buy this for my lawn. I don't know that much about lawn care. I'm in central Florida , I have Bahiagrass and it's very drought resistant. I don't have irrigation because I have acreage. I don't see Bahi in their brand . Is there another name for it? And will blue grass make it in the Florida heat without Irrigation?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Glad you like the videos! Bahiagrass is not included in the barenbrug brand to my knowledge. bahiagrass can be maintained well but its not considered a golf course variety. Not to say that's a bad thing. it's easy to maintain and doesn't require a lot of maintenance.

Great vid and affirmation.

Tenacity and a 3-18-18 at seeding. I already have a new lawn and I’m on the fence about cutting already with a manual reel. Just nervous about hurting the little turf blues, but I got to get them some light, some of the RPR is at 3 inches. Also thinking to put down some Propiconazole as I want to keep up the watering for the turf blues.

I live in Southern California in a small desert town that is very dry, we rarely get any rain, temperatures in the summer are well over 100 degrees. What would you recommend. I’m looking for something that is drought tolerant. You always recommend quality products and for that I thank you 🙏🏻. Have a blessed day!

[@pestandlawnginja]

barenbrug monoco is a fantastic blend of bermuda. the rtf tall fescue is pretty awesome as well if you wanted a cool season grass.

[@canalboating]

great video as usual, thanks Ginja

[@pestandlawnginja]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@plugger410]

I think my lawn is a mix of Kentucky bluegrass and rye, anything local in Utah Valley that you recommend as a good source, if the budget does allow for $120 bag of grass seed? Thanks for an awesome channel!

[@pestandlawnginja]

grass seed prices are on the rise. tough call. you could call ifa and ask what they have.

[@marcwoodward8056]

I've used their Schultz branded Kentucky Blue Grass I get at Menards. Best seed I've ever used! Germinates fast & grows nice and thick keeping the weeds out. Don't know if it's exactly the same as in the yellow bag but It's great seed nonetheless.

[@barenbrugusa6555]

Definitely a chance! Depends on a few things like time of year and availability, seed markets, product purpose, etc. Thanks for the support!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Awesome

[@GregAspenson]

I have a salad bar of old school KBG, PRG, Fine Fescue. It doesn’t look bad but I want to make it look better. You think overseeding will be a good idea or burn it to the ground and start over?

[@pestandlawnginja]

if you can get the kbg healthy enough it has the potential to take over but can take a few seasons. I've proven this theory at my office. it was full of fine fescue, some rye and tttf. We used my methods on about 4,000 sq ft in a test area and within 2 season it went from 20% bluegrass to being over 70%. is it perfect...... NO. but its way better. if you overseed you'll need to go with the most dominant cool season grass which is kentucky bluegrass.

[@GregAspenson]

@@pestandlawnginja thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. I’ll be getting Barenburg Turf Blue Pro.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great choice

[@ebar95]

Where is it available in the Salt Lake area? what type of grass would you recommend

[@pestandlawnginja]

great basin turf in west jordan or J&J nursery

[@lovykhanna8570]

Im going to Make a trip to the US and grab a bag of this seed. Any recommendation on which blend to get for Toronto weather?

[@pestandlawnginja]

I'd get the rtf tall fescue, the rpr rye grass or the turf blue pro kentucky bluegrass.

[@jonathanloewen2911]

Which barenbrug seed is good for Northern California. Hot summers cool wet winters. Will rye grass survive the heat?

[@pestandlawnginja]

their blend of tall fescue is very popular in your area. very hardy grass and does well in the heat. rye will survive if you water it properly.

[@2010stoof]

So which one should I get for michigan lawn? The perennial rye grass?

[@pestandlawnginja]

RPR by barenbrug is my favorite.

[@2010stoof]

@@pestandlawnginja I can't find that anywhere near me at all. I see Parkside and a slim few others. I will have to see quite a big area next season too. Same suggestion? Edit: Yeah just checked everywhere online. No availability for RPR

[@YouMadeMeLawn]

Holy sheet Ginja...one hell of a video bro!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Appreciate it! took a long while to put together!!

[@BrandanTheBroker]

Doing a reno on my mom's fescue yard, aka "The Scott's Special". Got the Barenbrug RTF and RPR but seriously wanting to "accidentally" glyphosate her lawn and sod Zoysia 😂

[@pestandlawnginja]

Hahaha 😆

[@michele7944]

which one of the Barenbrug seeds would you recommend for a lawn that gets lots of sun?

[@pestandlawnginja]

depends on where you live and what your lawn goals are. I'm in utah and the summers are dry and very hot, often times gets up to 110 degrees during the peak of the summer. I prefer the barenbrug turf blue pro, kentucky bluegrass. I also really enjoy the perrenial rye grass. if you're a warm season grass type then the monoco bermuda is fantastic.

[@michele7944]

@@pestandlawnginja I'm up north in New York and we get dry spells some summers. I'll try the Kentucky Blue as it's one of my favourites. thanks

[@pestandlawnginja]

You’re welcome

[@Soulchef21]

I live in the Chicagoland area and would love to try this brand of seed which would be the best for new grass planting? Thanks

[@Soulchef21]

And where can I find it?

[@pestandlawnginja]

i prefer bluegrass or ryegrass. links in the description of the video.

[@ChinaAl]

Maybe I should try this. We had 3 trees removed and grass just won't grow in those areas. What should I be looking at for Northern Illinois?

[@pestandlawnginja]

I would check the areas. Its possible that the grass won't grow if there's no top soil beneath the surface. I would dig up to 12" and replace the dirt. then I would seed. being in illinois you'll be looking for a tall fescue or a bluegrass blend most likely. tall fescue is a wide blade grass species and bluegrass is thinner and softer.

[@ChinaAl]

@@pestandlawnginja 12" might be kind of hard because we got buried cables back there as well. I did put a few inches of top- soil though. Next spring I'll see how far down I can go with good topsoil and not the stuff that's there now. Including some wood chips from grinding the stumps. Thanks

[@timschilling7553]

I live in the suburbs of Minneapolis. Is there a Kentucky bluegrass you can recommend for my area that resists drought but still stays green?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Hey Tim. Great question. So the definition drought tolerant isn't what most people think. it just means you can take it to the brink of death and bring it back to life. the timeline is different between the species of how long it can go in drought stress. What I can tell you is grass is 70% water, there are some species that will grow longer roots than others and if you have a lower water table the roots may find water and resulting in you using less water. If you want a green lawn you'll have to water.

[@steviem5279]

I made the mistake of going cheap last fall with my seeds. I purchased the Scotts contractors blend (northeast mix), put down the seed in the fall and in the spring the lawn came out nice and thick but this past summer was hot and humid and not much rain and while I did water regularly, the grass was a disaster. This fall, I purchased seed at Ewing Irrigation, it was tall fescue and the company was Empro King which is sold at Ewing Irrigation and its been 12 days since I did the overseeding and its starting to come in and the areas where it is growing is coming in nicely. Hopefully, this one will do the trick but I plan of over-seeding in the spring time too. Anyway, two questions: 1. Should I put down more seed in a week or two or just wait until the spring. 2. In some areas of my lawn I do have shallow roots but in another area of the lawn it is bentgrass. I used my thatch rake to pull out as much of the bent grass as possible and it comes off like a carpet and there were the tell tale signs where it matted down, then browned out over the summer, and then now its getting green again as the weather cools. I put down tenacity twice at the beginning of August then around the third week of August. Even though I pulled off as much as possible, is there a chance it will come back even with overseeding the area? Also the area where the bentgrass was tends to stay wet for some reason, is there anything to do about that other than the obvious don't water as much? My back is low lying and in the summer tends to hold a ton of humidity.

[@pestandlawnginja]

1. more seed is highly recommended with fescue. if it doesn't use rtf technology, which I'm pretty sure only barenbrug tall fescue has, it won't spread laterally. 2. There is always a chance the bentgrass will make another appearance. I would use tenacity next season after your new grass seed is well established. add triclypyr ester to the tenacity mix. that will help out a lot. As for the watering issue, its commonly a lower spot and I have since been recommended people use a combo of dirt and sand to raise the soil levels to help with that.

[@steviem5279]

@@pestandlawnginja The bentgrass is so frustrating because it looks fine at the beginning of the season, then as it grows it mats down and you don't realize it until you start raking the area and the grass when it stands up is like 6 inches tall but you go and cut it and it just falls down again. Then it holds that moisture in and you see the brown roots and its almost slimey. Then it all browns out or stays green but when you pull on it or use a thatch rake, it lifts like a carpet, its frustrating. A gardener at the garden supply store told me to do the pull test and around the bent grass and then keep moving over until you get to the established grass, once there, dig a small area just to make sure its not grubs because they will move to new areas once they've eaten the roots of the area they destroyed. he said to do that just to make sure its not grubs and it is bentgrass and I did just that and there were not grubs where the better grass was. The unfortunate part for me is my backyard is low lying and all the neighbors have fences so the humidity tends to linger in the back and there is a strip about 3 feet wide that extends about 30 or 40 feet between my house and the neighbors and along his fence line that holds in moisture which the bentgrass seems to love. Anyway, what I'll do is allow the seed that I already planted take, and its starting to come up after 12 days and next week I will put down some more seed as the weather starts cooling off. BTW, the tenacity is interesting as you don't see the results right away, it takes time and next thing you know some of the weeds are gone.

Great video - really nice overview

[@pestandlawnginja]

Thanks!

[@MIKYDESP]

Hi, I follow your videos all the time. I live in Saratoga Springs Ny and I am going go oversees soon. I am not sure which grass seed should I use. My lawn has some extremely full sun areas and some dense shade… I was thinking about the RTF from Barenbrug, will that work?

[@pestandlawnginja]

rtf is a good choice for you. its a wider blade grass and has great color. most cool season grass need 6 hours direct sunlight. so if you have heavy shade areas fine fescues are commonly the best choice but even they need 3 to 4 hours direct sunlight per day. if that's not in the cards your better off either thinning out the trees / bushes or hard scaping those areas.

[@danielliwells]

Ginja, we are moving to a new home and are thinking of overseeding with the Barenbrug RTF tall fescue. Any insight into disease resistance to brown patch and whether the rhizome claims are legit? Combining it with the Turf Blue Pro.

[@pestandlawnginja]

The RTF is what it is marketed as. I don't have first hand knowledge on brown patch but it does amazingly well against melting out and leaf spot. I believe the info your looking for is on ntep.org . The color is great and it does spread laterally. I personally wouldn't mix it with turf blue pro. they grow at different rates and the rtf is darker than the blue.

[@MRrwmac]

I had been buying tall fescue for my Raleigh NC lawn at the local John Deer landscape but now they only have the thin Tall fescue which I hate. Where can I get a good “thick” tall fescue that would do well in my area?

[@pestandlawnginja]

links in the description of the video. listed under rtf

[@howardredder3582]

Love your videos! Do you have any experience with Barenbrugs Rhizomerous tttf ? (Would it spread enough to eliminate yearly overseeding?)

[@pestandlawnginja]

I do! It's a fantastic product with great color. it does spread sufficiently to avoid annual reseeding assuming your not drought stressing and causing issues.

Hello good sir I have a question that I’m sure so many people ask. I just moved into a new house and the grass seems to be ok but not like I want it. I saw in one of your videos about mulching and I saw a lot of dead grass under the green stuff. What type of rake was that you used and what type of fertilizer I should use . Should I seed and fertilizer this fall or wait till the spring? Sorry so long
