Wow Ginja looks like a whole lot of work. Loppers to open a bag of seed, shovel to open a bag of peat moss you crack me up. A gerber tool works great for a guy like you. Nice job love your videos.

hahaha good call. I'm pretty sure i'm the reason for child restraints on bottles and such

Believe the Ginja when he says how good this seed is. I overseeded and did a partial renovation with RPR last fall and I did it twice as sloppy as Ginja and got the same results. It's a life changing product.

@@pestandlawnginja I'm a beginner and I am wondering how you managed to remove all the existing old grass and turn it into dirt turf before you overseeded your lawn.

@@jillthompson6110 once the grass plant is dead from the glyphosate, it won’t come back. The plant matter will break down in the soil from worms and bacteria and in a few months or a year, you won’t be able to see any signs of the old grass plants

[@garyeisele2810]

Curious if you have every worked with liquid fertilizers, iron and aeration products? I pretty impressed with liquid aeration, but it’s just the cost of application and the frequency as to how you need to apply it to get the results. A nice lawn is all about the soil. Giving grass seed roots room to expand and grow so you have a healthy lawn that is super green with loose soil that allows the roots to grow deep.

[@JJ-rf7dg]

[@justinjones5281]

My garbage lawn was 70% weeds. Started working on it in may. Spend 200$ on a push reel mower and 400$ on weed be gone 200$ on fertilizer and 120$ on seed. If you put in the time give things time to thrive you can have a completely weed free lawn in 65 days. My lawn is pure KGB with sprinkles of rye and fesue. All uniform colour due to uniform nutrients. Use triple 19 on lime spots when they obviously are pure grass. Most of the time it’s weeds sapping your water and nutrient.

[@dad9296]

Thanks Ginja, love your videos and every time I see those mountains in the background it makes me happy! Interesting to watch these renos. I have seen several with peat moss, Conner did one recently where he put sawdust down (that got my attention as a woodworker), but here in Texas the thunderstorms are no joke and my lawn has a slope. I have to hold that seed in place. My first reno was a real learning curve. However, I found out that using lightweight burlap to cover my seed is a lifesaver! It might not be feasible for big yards, but if you are just doing 1k-2k sqft sections it works great and it's less expensive than seed blankets!

I just reseeded where I had 4 big oak trees. about 100-200sqft. layed down seed, starter fert, peat moss top cover, and a little tackifier. Temps were mid 90s! I was kind of experimenting to see if I could even get it to grow with that kind of heat. using some automatic sprinkler timers I had em going for 15 mins every hr for about 10-12 hrs a day. 2 weeks later it's came in very well and am going to do a first mow tomorrow. growing in the heat can be done but I'm not looking forward to the suck of my water bill this month lol.

Ginja, would you be able to do a video on watering? How calculate how much water, and how to calculate for evaporation? How to properly balance each areas water? Watering procedure for different soil types? That sort of thing. I was having issues with my sprinkler coverage due to water pressure, and I just had a booster installed to correct my pressure dropping to below 30psi and not giving a proper coverage in the middle of the spray arc, now I'm trying to figure out how much water I need for Kentucky Blue that gets sun pretty much all day, and I have an open field so the wind plays a factor.

@@pestandlawnginja absolutely. I am really intrigued about the spreading capability because that’s always been a shortcoming of ryegrass and tall fescue. Ryegrass is really nice so I’ll definitely look into RPR!

[@backpacker3421]

Just lightly dragging a rake behind you in a cross hatch pattern will even that peat moss out really nicely. It will get some of the seed mixed into the peat moss topping, but I've never had issues getting solid germination using that technique to even out the moss.

Love my Landzie, thanks to previous vids. I lost my lawn to moss over the winter. Cleared it with the dethatcher, pulling back. Worked great. Can't afford a pro for loam/seeding so doing re-seeding myself. Very tough to mow what is left and grow new seed. Plus I'm late and its summer. Did a sample patch and kbg came up great but has crabgrass in it. Not happy about that but that is what Tenacity is for. I'll continue using it. Very expensive seed. 50 lbs for $314. but its already paid for.... Wish me luck. My two landcare neighbors think I'm nuts. I like that. BTW, I'm using the Landzie to spread some sifted loam over the seed and rolling, instead of peat moss. So far so good.

Hmm temperature is generally never an issue here in Texas, but heavy rains can ruin a freshly seeded lawn really quickly. Sometimes it just comes down to luck in good timing. It happen with my lawn this year. The front yard I thought I'd try a really early seed, first week of march actually... after a week I felt things were going so well with weather and temp, decided to seed the backyard, another week later, my front yard got established and rooted. Survived well through the first heavy rain week, but the backyard... it's all uneven and patchy. But hey, this is why you order extra seed, I'm in my second week after overseeding, and things are so nice.

I’m about ready to do the same. For the same reasons. I’ve got about 15 different grass types In The front (PRG overseed ugly lawn project) and I’ve got lines and striping also. About to kill it all off and replant some good KBG. My jury is still out on the PRG disease tolerance and heat tolerance (cool season here.) it got hot quick here this year and my PRG checked out quick. 😖 And PRG germinates quickly too. 6 days for me so the same.

super frustrating. I get dry heat and not as much humidity here. makes a big difference.

Amazing results!

thank you!

Laid this seed down on Thursday last week so I’m in the middle of my 4th day. I haven’t seen any sprouting yet but keeping the faith. I live in Lehi and I started out watering every 2 hours for 5 minutes and it stayed nice and wet (but not swampy). Over the last day and a half that hasn’t seemed sufficient so I’m now at every hour for 5-7 min. Sound right?

Why peat-moss instead of compost? Compost retails moister much better and isn’t susceptible to wind and water movement. But you got good results so that’s pretty cool.

the peat hold a ton of water. i don't like the wood chips compost has. overall its a preference.

Great video 😊.

Thanks! 😊

You will be fine with 2 passes of that peat moss especially when its hot. I seed fescue in vegas it will be in the 90s some days. Make sure you hand water edges or other dry spots. Peat moss is extra fine so you can't let it dry cuz it will blow away.

awesome feedback. thank you

I did a test plot a blend of the RPR and the KBG The rye is def getting hit with the heatwave we have had this year in Utah. I did a 50/50 blend. I'm testing other varieties, but I like the color of the Brenbrug. Haven't decided on what I would do for my reno, but if I do choose Barenbrug I am going to go heavier on the ratio for KBG. Probably 70/30

We also have a pre-mixed product in HGT/RPR (80/20)! Always welcome custom mixing to your environment and/or preference, however! Ryegrass and drought don't necessarily mix to some degree (no pun intended), as you experienced.

[@pestandlawnginja]

They're 80/20 mix is legit. I've played with it and seeded customer lawns with it.

I just got my 50# bag for my Reno this fall in Minnesota.
