I Made A HUGE Mistake...(NOT clickbait)

There are some changes going on in my backyard and something I definitely did not plan on.
The course of my lawn has been changed forever with some renovation work now taking place. Today I go over the story of what happened, and plan going forward to roll with it.

I went through two of these peat moss spreaders from Landzie. Neither one worked as the clips kept falling off and the door would open. They refunded me but it was mad frustrating

Could be worse, I forgot I didn’t have trimec(for dallis grass) in my sprayer I actually had round up quick pro in it and started spraying my yard, it wasn’t till I started making a extra pass over some of the more infected area. Now a little over 700sqft is dead. Thank god we are plugging mine any day now

[@billcunningham8485]

Ryan I saw the dogs in the video and now in the video you show us the dog potty area... I saved my lawn from dog pee spots... I added 150 SQFT of K9 turf to a a dog “run” off the service door of my garage. +95% of dog waste in my yard goes into the K9 turf not my living lawn. Sure I have a spot her or there from in the yard play time but I have restricted my two dogs access when still allowing them unleashed time. It is the best investment I made to my home in the two years I have owned it ($3,000 fully installed). No muddy paws in the Spring, easy clean up and with K9 turf and the Professional prep during install there is no smell. Rain “flushes” the turf and the dog run. If no rain I just hit it with the hose in the Summer.

[@jerrysasse3063]

For loading my peat moss spreader this what I do. I have a cheap plastic tarp that put down close to where I am working and will open 3 to 4 bags of peat moss on it and break it up on the tarp. I found just stomping on it works best and fastest. I then use a shovel and 5 gallon buckets. Goes super quick and the tarp makes clean up a breeze and keeps it out of the landscape.

[@bobhildebranski7034]

Thanks for putting this vid up, Ryan. There’s solace in knowing that even pro’s like you can have missteps. Your entire community learned the same valuable lesson that you did, we’re all better for it - Cheers!! 👍🏼

[@ovanes_81]

Greetings. Thanks to the fact that KZbin began to translate subtitles, I began to understand what the videos were about. I really admire your hard work and perseverance. I planted the lawn in 2014 and made a lot of mistakes too. Very grateful for the information. Good luck! (Google translator)

[@dragonstalk86]

yes, come to the shaggy bulletproof dark side Pete of GCI Turf sends his regards

[@DDugger]

Bulletproof? 😂 Don't get me wrong, I love fescue. I even have Pete's TTTF in my lawn, but bulletproof is the last adjective I'd use for fescue. Now, common bermuda... that sh** is bulletproof.

[@dragonstalk86]

@@DDugger not if you're in a cold season area it's not

[@jamiepippin3892]

In southern virginia fescue goes dormant in the summer like Bermuda goes dormant in the winter. Most people just overseed their Bermuda lawns with fescue for a green lawn year round.

[@mikekosar6135]

Can’t wait 😊

[@skliros9235]

That roller is very slick. I agree about Kentucky bluegrass. It looks great until the summer time heat and drought hits.

[@fiercenet]

Ryan freaking out that he put the wrong seed down, meanwhile i'm over here just hoping I can get any of my seeds to take before it gets cold.

[@NorthlanderMN]

I live in the north metro in the twin cities. I use Lowes Sta-Green the green bag. June 1st, August 1st, and winterizer October 1st. It’s got iron for the dark green. I don’t bag. I mulch leaves and grass. I pick up twigs. Mow high, and keep blades sharp.

[@Dubiels]

Wow! I’m stunned about your lawn. Glad to see you still have your challenger 😂

[@xrain099]

Finally finally finally you finally got tall fescue. We keep requesting you to grow some TTTF. We successed.

[@jxmai7687]

i was try to get away from the tall fescue, and watch his video for the blue grass. lol

[@bobjvet23]

Ryan maybe you could do a video on how much it costs to do one of your renovations. So we the viewers could decide and plan if this is what we could do on our own property.

[@jconsentino]

I just planted some of Pete's TTTF a week ago. Just starting to see some germination in the shadier spots where the soil doesn't dry out as fast. My schedule doesn't allow me to water 2-3 times per day except on weekends so we'll see how my first overseed pans out in the next few weeks. But, am glad you might have some TTTF tips down road. Love the content!

[@jordanfriesen]

I have to say I started getting into lawn care this year but was totally uneducated. I tried planting tall fescue in spring and it all died in the heat of the summer. Then I found your channel. I started watching everything about fall renovations and literally followed your overseeding fall program step by step to the letter. It's been nearly 3 weeks since then and I have an amazing full tall fescue back yard and am very much looking forward to seeing what you have to say about tall fescue so though I am sure it sucks having this happen, many like myself will benefit. Thanks for all your videos you have transformed my lawn!

[@vegetarianfoodie9091]

Welcome to the blue/rye/fescue club! I’ve been throwing down this type of mix from hardware shop seed for years (just not the high quality), now I can follow a lawn program suited for my grasses.

[@kevinbooher7574]

I'm actually glad for your "mistake". I want a mainly tall fescue lawn but your channel is my go to for information. I am excited to see what you do with your backyard now.

Got to be honest, as a guy in the transition zone with TTTF, I'm pumped to see some Fescue videos. Excited to see how this turns out!

[@emtffzartman666]

I just ordered one of these 44” spreaders. I am VERY excited as it is my first big step into upping my lawn game with a tool like this. I have a brand new house and horrible soil. I intend to use this spreader to put top dressing on all 20,000 square feet of yard to help the new grass have what it needs to start growing before winter.

[@chakagillis]

I planted Black Beauty Ultra last year which is primarily tall fescue. It looks pretty dang good and this summer appeared to have more tolerance to the summer heat than what I had in there before. I just recently replanted another area with the same seed and its coming through strong.

[@Mikebike68]

Mistakes were made on my end too. I double pass core aerated and cut low beforehand like 2.5in but didn’t not have time to dethatch so the canopy wasn’t very opened up like last year especially on dead spots. Weaseled a those spots but they were still kind of thatchy. I was low on time. Planted sept 12th at the beginning of a 14 day drought. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Mikebike68]

My water bill is gonna be $500 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@markjacobsohn4030]

I’m with you Ryan. I planted mine two weeks ago and it isn’t quite tall enough to mow yet. Can’t wait though!

[@scottv.4140]

I just finished doing a renovation on my yard, after 10yards of soil and 100 pounds of TTTF over half an acre it will be interesting to compare results.

[@markchase8128]

I started better lawn management this year. I only recently found Ryan's videos, given me some good ideas. Aerated in the spring, dethatch and overseed a few weeks ago. Been watering and it has recovered nicely. Think i have almost every grass type for the midwest. Zoysia, bermuda, tall fescue and ryegrass. I haven't summed up what i have spent yet. Pro tip: Track your fertilizer applications in a spreadsheet. Next year will be lawn leveling, its pretty bumpy. Thanks Ryan.

[@crazedrunnerdave]

So glad you are an honest KZbin creator and not clickbaiting. I've unsubscribed from other channels that do that stuff to get more views.

[@CoryGeffre]

I gasped so loud my family came to check on me!! I can’t wait to see you turn these lemons into lemonade.

[@griffeyfan0477]

So the best way I have found to load the peat moss spreader is to actually take the bags and cut them wide open and dump them in a wheel barrow or wagon and break them up really quick with a large screw driver. Open up the door on the spreader and dump it in, yes, you handle it twice but I found it to be very efficient. If you have a helper busting the bags and dumping them in the wagon you will be so much quicker.

[@LawnNOrder]

I hope you come to enjoy the TTTF as much as I do. I am actually going to seed an area with KBG only and mix some Blue Heat in my main front fescue yard. Fingers crossed.

[@smudge6831]

I’ve got tall fescue in our front yard, sissy grass out back, and couch on the berm. The tall fescue is the nicest. It tolerates our warmer weather and lack of rain over the warmer months. (We have in-ground irrigation) Watching all the way from nz

[@raddad9041]

Ouch, that must have been a shock. Here I was feeling stressed that I got too little PRG for overseeding this fall (10lbs bag for 2647m2 of lawn) and I've waited so late. Sometimes we just have to live with what we got.

[@TheRoy107]

I did a renovation using the SS1000 tall fescue blend from Seed Superstore about 3 weeks ago, so i cant wait to follow along. May not be what you wanted but I have many if those varietys and they look great!!

[@CADguru78]

I just had to reseed a big area that grubs destroyed this summer on my lawn, sprayed to kill them, I had the core aeration done last week. Finally got the seed down today. Used the KBG blend from Super Seed Store, used about 8 bags of Scott’s lawn soil to level out some low spots, seeded then covered with peat moss. Hoping the next 2 weeks stay warm enough here in Chicagoland.

[@kenbrunet6120]

My learning progression before starting in on renovating my lawn: First Video: Hmm this seems doable Second: Can't be that difficult! I can't wait to get started!! Third: This guy's lawn looks awesome but this all seems really complicated! Fourth: I still have no idea how i'm gonna level my rollercoaster lawn. Fifth: Im confused Sixth: I have no idea how to do this. Seventh: I think I give up.

[@jamesking6174]

I just made the same mistake this spring. I put lawn patch seed with tall fescue instead of my kbg. I had to kill the lawn and start over. It is just now coming up. So you are not the only one.

[@drlovety]

My first time planting fescue, first thing I noticed is the germination time is about 2wks slower than my ryegrass, but the biggest change is the way it's popped up. Seems like fescue comes up with two blades, or one blade with a second blade coming off of it. Rye is just one single blade. Anyway, can't wait. Welcome to the neapolitan of cool season grass homeowners

[@BidenIsKing]

[@otallono]

You shouldn't be jealous because most of us have centipede grass in the south because it's lower maintenance and we can't use much fertilizer and therefore it would be a bad idea to seed ryegrass over it

Remember that video you did where you were behind the fence line pointing out a clump of green fescue surrounded by dormant kbg. You'll have less issues next summer. Besides, you can always overseed with kbg. The timemaster will have it's work cut out next season. Btw, I about lost it when you brought out the shop vac :0

So, I roughly 80/20 KBG to TTTF. I keep it at an inch, but I've had it as low as 3/4". Many golf courses have fescue rough and green surrounds. They keep it under an inch all year long. Certainly takes more effort and money, but it's more than doable even with pure TTTF.

[@steviem5279]

I just over seeded with Tall Fescue last Monday, but here in the New York City area its been very dry and no rain for the forseeable future. The seed I used was from my local Ewing Irrigation and Landscape supply store and it was Empro King tall fescue so we'll see how that works. No signs of germination yet but its only six days since I did the seeding. My mistake last fall was over-seeding with the Scotts "Contractors" blend which in the spring really popped but once summer stress hit it just died off no matter how well I watered this past summer. So, now I used this seed and hopefully it will give me solid results.

[@steviem5279]

@@gordoeinstein good luck with the legal issues, a friend of mine had a similar issue with a neighbors construction project a few years back and its not fun what you have to go through. Yep, we're basically in the same region when it comes to the weather and our lawns, I just started taking care of the lawn in the Fall of 2018 after years of neglect and I know it takes a while for it to come back to what it was. Spring 2019 I didn't over-seed rather limed the lawn the applied pre-emergent and followed a regular fertilizer schedule plus grub control. Then last fall instead of going for better seed I went with the Scotts contractors blend and it gave me false hope, it germinated within 10 days of putting it down and started filling in and then this past spring it came in beautifully but it was fools gold. As you know this past summer was hot and humid and while I did water regularly the grass started withering away. But at the end of the day, you get what you pay for and the bag of contractors blend went for $44 to cover 5000 sq ft. The guy at Ewing Irrigation recommended I try the Tall Fescue for an overseed and filling in the bare spots so we will see how it works and hopefully there will be some good results. He also said something interesting, he said that when you are re-establishing the lawn to use starter when you fertilize until the lawn is established and then you can go into the milorganite and other similar products. Anyway, best of luck and thanks for the reply.

Sorry, but I’m actually glad to see some tall fescue content. I live in the transition zone (about 7hours south of you) where it’s hard to grow any grass. Plenty of KZbinrs reel cutting KBG or Alan and his thick Zoysia grass, but not much on Fescue. Which is all I can grow and be green for more than 4 months of the year. Still, no matter what I do I get a fungus in my fescue in early summer then heat damage at the end of summer. So maybe you’re content next summer can help me!

Best thing I did was replace my KBG with TTTF. Way more drought tolerant, bug resistant, deeper rooter. My lawn is always the greenest on my street in the heat of the summer. Get rid of that KBG and go with TTTF. You’ll love it!

Ryan Knorr....A man of the people (the tall fescue people). I'm torn between being bummed for you and excited to see what's possible for me!

I have a patch that I'm trying tttf in. Had a few bags of cool blue and only need a few pounds for my area. Well I sold one and put the other 4 out before I realized I didn't keep any for myself 🤦‍♂️

I run a Turf Farm here in NE. I can make any lawn into an immaculate cool/transitional sod field in 18 mo. Got to use some granular Azoxystrobin on KGB, and never use liquid Fe in the summer.

I’m SO EXCITED!!! I just spread TF in my back yard. Yessss!! Let’s do this!!

I can’t wait to see tips on how you take care of tall fescue. Keep it going. Some mistakes happen for a reason. Run with it turn lemons to lemonade.
