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?

I recently discovered your channel and have watched just about all of your lawn care videos. You have a talent for explaining things in layman's terms with a touch of humor along the way - a good combo. Thanks for taking the time to put together another informative video!

[@Mityob67]

Hey man! Thanks for the ton of work that must have gone into this excellent footage. Never knew how involved the process of seed production is. There's more in the bag than top notch grass seed. Hey that's a tag line!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Glad you enjoyed it! Love the tag line! I think we filmed for almost 30 hours to capture all of it. it was a ton of work!

[@brentrigby690]

@PestandLawnGinja I started following your channel a few months ago after buying a home right up the road from you in West Jordan. I really appreciate the helpful advise you share which is why I've decided to do a lawn reno. I am now the proud owner of a SunJoe and just picked up a bag of Barenbrug seed to do an overseed. 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!!

Awesome video. I always wondered how it was done. I’ll never buy cheap seed again. I have so much poa annua in my lawn it was driving me crazy. Now that I’m learning what to look for. 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. They are really helping me out. Keep doing what you do. 👍

Seed to hair contact is key

[@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:)

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!

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

[@jbuchananator]

Great vid and affirmation. Seeded two weeks ago with Barenbrug RPR and Turf Blue (70/30 - coverage not weight) I went with two rounds of Glypho, level some low spots, two weeks fallowing, the a 3rd round of Glypho before seeding. 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.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Sounds like a solid plan. I'd cut it for sure

Hey Ginja, living in northcentral Massachusetts when I purchased my home I knew I wanted to have the best lawn. Unfortunately I didn't know anything about proper lawn care. Several failures later I pulled the rip cord and applied glyphosate at 4% per gallon. The current turf is all but gone and I'm preparing for my renovation in spring. I'm having a real overthinking problem on not only brand but also type. My lawn gets nearly full sun all day.

[@stevebabiak6997]

I got the SunJoe electric dethatching rake and it worked great; saved lots of time over using my rake and it even did a better job too. My only regret is not getting it a couple of years ago when I received an offer to buy it for under $100 on sale; I spent a bit over $150 but money well spent IMO. Check out the KZbin videos that test that machine and you might be impressed.

A small point is that Barenbrug is in Tangent, Oregon which is adjacent to Albany. I have lived in the Linn County ORegon for 49 years. More grass seed is grown here than anywhere. I remarked to my wife just yesterday that the grass in the fields has grown like crazy the last two weeks. It is amazing to seed so many fields of plants, the many shades of green, the seeds of which will make lawns all over the world. Thanks for visiting our bit of paradise.

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.

I did/doing both. Using Pen/Rebel/Scotts shade/dense shade mix for bigger areas. And the smaller area I've ignored, but that fine fescue that's doing fine, got some boutique fine fescue for over-seeding/new combo. I'm still in the experimental stage for this rather shady near pure clay area. And Darwin didn't say strongest survives, but most adaptable survives.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Fine fescue will be your best bet. I've been testing mazama bluegrass and it's going well

I love it!! Oregon is where it's at. Albany is real close to where I live in Oregon. Earlier this year I bought some ryegrass seed from seedsuperstore.com. I found it really funny that the specific cultivar of seed I bought was produced here in Oregon pretty much three hours from where I live. The seed made it all the way to the east coast only to come back home. haha Hope you were able to experience many more of the wonderful outdoors Oregon has to offer.

[@pestandlawnginja]

That's pretty funny! Thanks for sharing. I made it down to the beach and froze my tail feathers off hahaha. played a round of golf in dallas. Overall I had a great time.

I always use their water saver RTF for my lawn in Massachusetts. Stays greener than my neighbors year round.

Rad! Bet it looks fantastic! Super dark rtf

Hello there Kind Sir. Another awesome and very informative video. I appreciate the content and effort that went into it 👍🏻👊🏻. I’m in the market for some seed and I’m glad you made this video. 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.

[@HelloHello-im3hz]

Wow,who would have thought quality grass seed went through so many processes.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Right!? Totally agree

[@thelittlelawnsod4161]

What a video. Loved it

[@pestandlawnginja]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment!

[@lawndingo7656]

Thanks, I always wanted to see that process.

[@pestandlawnginja]

No problem! It was a fun project!

[@lawndingo7656]

I have midnight Kentucky Blue Grass, which one of Barenbrug’s blue grass would match best with my lawn, I am looking for color uniformity. After see and understand the brand, I plan to buy really soon.

[@robcole8218]

GREAT INFO FILLED VIDEO. THANKS

[@pestandlawnginja]

You're welcome rob!

[@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

Thank you!

[@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.

[@DavidMcCabe]

What a great video! Are the products at 1:30 Barenbrug seed? I saw Shultz, Vigoro, a few others. Thanks for the quality reporting here Ginj!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Yes, it is! All Blended and white labeled. Not all the white labels are the same quality golf course varieties they sell online that I put links too. that's the biggest diff.
