Wholly Smoke's grass seed went up! Wow, I bought the 365ss Kentucky Bluegrass 50lbs bag last year for $244 its now $417. Glad I did my Reno last year!

[@chadfleming8234]

@@colemanpetree5865 They are but they only offer one Version of KBG Mix and it is not all Elite cultivars so that explains the price difference. PS: It also SOLD OUT!

[@BigGary79]

The most enjoyable thing about this video is seeing how much fun Connor is having doing this renovation.

[@whitenep]

Should have just put polycarbonate down on the poa annua 👍

[@H3110NU]

I was thinking the same thing

[@blzt3206]

I appreciate the dedication to perfection. Your videos help me relax after 14 hour field days 1000 miles from home where I can’t mow my own lawn after a hard days work. Thanks Connor.

[@leew3084]

Conner. While in college I worked on a study about dormant weed seeds and the best practices to control those seeds. The best practice was to expose those seeds to sunlight and other growth factors like water. If you till the lawn down a few inches you'll be able to sprout most of the weed seed remaining in your soil. Simply spray them or till them out. You can do this repeatedly but in the end this process will eliminate far more weeds than any other approach. The second most effective method was heat. The study used fire, steam, or black tarps to super heat the ground which killed many of the seeds

[@boomchickn]

If i have learned anything from watching you over the years is that you sir are a mad man when it comes to lawncare, but if there's anyone who can pull this off is you. Take care and we all look forward to seeing what you do next!

[@JamyRyals]

I don’t know if I’d have the guts to do this… so awesome

[@ngreed]

Always great to see an upload from you! You are right, the lawn is a journey, I recently had an irrigation system installed, wow what a game changer. Now if I could just get rid of the mole...

[@l9ikjam]

I had a mole problem. I sit food out for a couple of Ferrell cats and I haven't seen a mole in 3 years.

[@DarElBarka]

The mountain view is amazing

[@rey3472]

You need a bigger torch. The little torches are good for weeding flowerbeds.

[@UncleDonDon]

I'm from the north but now live in the south. A Bermuda lawn is the best, BUT, I would rather play golf on cool season grass.

[@JEK]

Connor get to the chopper, would probably help getting an aerial look of any spots you may be missing.

[@Morecowbell4u]

I would continue spot spraying the areas that had the concern. I would do another blanket application but probably hit those spots a couple more times

[@aaronallgrunn7845]

Ever count your steps for a mow? Can't wait for the seeding!

[@johnarnold24]

your energy is to be admired, technique can be improved. Buying materials and renting equipment can be daunting. I was in construction 32 years and learned a bunch about the pitfalls. Going slowly and planning ahead and watching videos like yours is a great idea. The older you get (72.5 years) slows this process even more. Anything you do costs big bucks. My advice plan plan plan then execute . Thanks for your video, good info even for an old dude like me.

[@mburke1211]

It looks maybe like your ‘Tubes energy has been restored. All of your subs, myself included, sure hope so. I was just thinking that we missed a whole summer of your life! Great to see you on a more regular basis.

[@lawnrebel]

Thank you good sir

[@rbljackson]

@@lawnrebel Yep....always enjoyable to watch. I saw the quick "burn down" video, and wasnt sure if it was legit or not at the time. The quest for the perfect lawn never ends. My bermuda has really suffered this year here in west texas. I need an irrigation system put in! Cant keep it green this year with the severe drought we are having in West Texas. I think we had 5 inches of rain all year!

[@jeremybenson516]

Con, I've did this but at 4 inches & about caught the neighborhood on fire 🔥!!! Exercise caution 4real...

[@lawnrebel]

Yes... Much different scenario with 3/4"

[@alainapotaduh]

I am amazed at the amount of effort you always put in. Even when you seem to be half-assing by your own standards, you're still doing more than most. I bet this reno is going to be your best one yet. Can't wait to see the first signs of green this fall.

[@anthonydickman757]

Great video Mr. Rebel. Can’t wait to see the rest of your process this time!

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

First Aussie 😁. Connor, you have the nicest brown lawn in the neighbourhood, Dominating there mate. 🤠. Why? Because they can.

[@tam1381]

Hey Pal enjoying your journey. Looks good so far.

[@jeff.schulze]

Good luck in your renovation Connor! I killed my entire back yard (TTTF) last year because of Poa Triv. Unfortunately I was only able to recover about 80% of it back in the fall. So it has looked like crap all year so far. Looking forward to fall so I can get the other 20% fixed. Enjoyed the video as always!

[@jpaterson507]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and this channel is by far my favorite. Honest to God.

[@lawnrebel]

Thank you Joe

[@shanew7361]

I like the driveway flower pots!

[@patricksquires77]

If it does not work this time. You have a fan day and 50 people show up and dig every one of those brats out. The pros tag each area /example with color spray and the fans dig the crap out and help find more. Lay down some chalk lines and search the lanes or something. Were all behind you Connor Ward. You have given me faith in my ability to have not just a great but an amazing lawn. Smoking another 6000 feet of yard right now - deep in reno.

[@gh4121-b5n]

I never enjoyed cutting grass that much until we moved out of the city and into the country. I now have about an acre to cut and I’d mow it every day if I could. There Is something to be said about being out and mowing grass. Don’t know why But I like it.

[@WillyTandLou]

I killed my new yard this spring and really enjoyed it! I would never have thought I would have felt like that but it was a great experience and then sprigged tahoma 31. It’s the journey, no doubt!

[@brewbuilds]

As a fellow red/green colorblind person, I totally get your struggle!😂 the worst is catching lawn fungus before its too late.🤦🏻‍♂ Good luck in your journey, and I can't wait to see your results.🤘🏻

[@lawnrebel]

The struggle is real.

[@ColeSpolaric]

We need longer videos says everyone.... Seems like you took that as a license to ramble on 🤣. But I watched every second!

[@usmantsiddiqui]

Lots and lots of water and a fert app is what will help every small thing come out. Weekly gly spray and one right before seeding.

[@timborski1210]

cant wait to see the yard in its full glory again!

[@TheEBrig]

Sorry about the chopper bro, that’s just how I roll. I’ll make sure to stop by and say hi next time.

[@Maxspeed996]

I see progress buddy! But I think I'd spray it one more time. Don't mess around! Death to all that is green!!! I can't wait to see this bad boy come back to life. Thanks for sharing.

[@jpsouthwick]

Connor... CalRanch has the weed torches that you can hook up to a large propane tank for around $40. I picked one up at the first of the season and torched some of my weeds. I was very happy with the end result.

[@lawnrebel]

I ended up getting one at the home depot. I had the same result that you did... Satisfaction

[@eXcRaiNmaN]

Love it! Can't wait to see how it turns out

[@marcusgunnarsson2627]

Wow! I freaking love the way you do it! I admire your energy and your way for perfection.💚🌱 Imagine how we have it here in sweden, not allowed to use any toxic what so ever. We will always have weeds in our lawns.🤮

[@leanderbarrie]

Good to see you Again Connor✌️ Nice job, really going all in instead of killing and growing at the same time😄 can’t wait!!! 🥳🥳 all support from Belgium🤟

A REBEL who loves his lawn! GG CW.

[@tonybowman32]

Well my front lawn got hit by brown patch so you inspire me to do the same just sprayed mine. Time to start over. Never done this before so it should be fun.

[@redtwin1968]

I just recently did a mid-summer hard scalp of my Bermuda and it was no joy... super hot and humid and took all day. I'm looking forward to your next video! You got some strange neighbors for sure with the grain silo and the helicopter.

The propane burner you wanted is cheap..like 40 dollars at hardware stores. Get the one with an ignitor on it. Saves time when it gets windy.

[@ryans815]

The poa is an annual, it's probably done actively growing for the season already, that's why it isn't dying as quickly as the rest

[@jeeves744]

Poa Triv is not an annual...

[@ryans815]

@@jeeves744 poa annua is, and either way it's clearly not growing as actively because it's still green. Glyphosate causes the plant to starve to death, if it was growing it would have been out of food by now
