Sister Ward “lots more fun for when we dig it up next year” so funny. Good thing she’s patient!

one bluegrass leaf/seed can grow as much as a dinner plate in a growing year. just be patient and dont crowd it man. wish i lived by you, i love grass so much.

My take-aways from your videos are always so much more than lawn care. I just adore your approach to life. Keep doing your thing and making videos please.

[@RootedLawnCo]

Loving this!

Burning the lawn with that torch looks like so much fun! I really respect your "let's try it and see what happens" attitude. Keep up the great content

Best how to video in a long time... Prepares seed bed by power raking and leveling... immediately puts in trenches all over the yard. What a rebel! 😅 You're the best Connor!

[@retiredcryptohunter9031]

If you don’t try you will never know. I love your attitude about your lawn. Lawn goals

Brave man putting heads along the road with your prior incidents with idiots and cars.

[@SJARFan]

Omg I’m so jealous of the soil you have there! Here in northwest Arkansas digging a whole that size by hand would require about a whole day with all the freaking rocks we have in our soil

[@dpcrawford83]

I feel you. I'm in the St Louis area, I have 4 inches of top soil but under that it is all clay and rocks.

[@W.Vanderbilt]

Love how you argue with yourself

[@BigGary79]

I wish more lawn fans would have the attitude of Connor. Just have fun with it. If you like doing something a certain way...do it. If you want to try something...give it a whirl.

[@bbtank3000]

I don't think any of this is stupid. I love seeing the start of a new lawn!

Ah yes. My Friday afternoon just got a little better. Thanks for the upload Connor! Your videos are the best out there.

[@rey3472]

You got a bigger torch. Incinerate the areas around the undesirable grassy weed. It works. I prefer that to what used to be done up until the 1980s. Turf renovations used to be done by covering areas with plastic and releasing Methyl Bromide+Chlorpicrin under it.

[@michaelstaab4982]

Connor - the simple fix here is to change your grass type to 100% poa triv 😉…poof, no more blotchy bright green spots! Great vid as always!

[@mattnelson1366]

"...yeah probably..." Hahaha, loved the beginning of the video. That is how so many of my projects start.

[@joeking6309]

I love the smell of burnt poa in the morning....…. it smells like victory.

[@lawnrebel]

It does

[@briansierzega]

Hey Connor….I did what you’re doing to my backyard. Burned it out, tilled it, and went back thru and any roots or anything that looked like dead growth, I torched it out again. My neighbors thought I was a lunatic torching out black dirt…lol I let it sit for 2 weeks to make sure…then added sand and manure and tilled again, then planted KBG. I live in Chicago so my backyard is only about 1,200sq ft but I have never had one weed or poa or anything in 6 years. It took 6 weeks but holy crap…well worth it! *YOU CAN DO IT MAN!*

[@krisk2025]

"So is it a complete waste of time and money? Eh probably" lmao 🤣 my new life motto right there. NICE!

Your wife is awesome 👍. She clearly knows you really well 😂.

[@GabrielKozsar]

put the electrical wire into a HDPE pipe to protect it or wire conduit. Later easier to replace or pull another one. I would have dug it with a narrow shovel and lift the soil in one piece and put it back to original place , little sand as filler , golden. More work , less mess. The trench is huge. But hey , you like to work :)

If he did he wouldn’t be the rebel!

Not sure if it has already been said, but burning will reduce effectiveness of your preemergent herbicides like tenacity.

No shortcuts in cost and time - good for you!

[@iungerich1]

power rake before you burn! Thats what I do.

I need one as well. Take proxy nap for me

[@SkyroofNova72]

You’re an industrious fella, why don’t you build a torch bar like the sprayer you built? Smoke the entire surface of the lawn. You’ll earn a gold star on your man card while causing safety sallies to vomit where they stand.

[@Fishneck10]

I really enjoy the work you put in. I don’t have the balls to do what you do. So entertaining

Have you thought about seeding with Scotts provista Kentucky blue grass? Then you can spray glyphosate all the time?

I’m nervous about your POA…I have a POA sitch-e-ation too so I’m hopeful. It’s also so great that you break “hard rules” on a regular basis and prove the haters wrongish :-).

[@smileysun9212]

Seeing a “Polaris” on the thumb nail do I really need to watch. Good thing your using it around the house because you don’t have far to push it when it breaks down.😂 Good thing you have the Honda as a backup. I was a Polaris man at one time & hated them. I got a Honda Rubicon & never looked back. Yamaha makes some good ones.

[@lawnrebel]

We've not had trouble with it... I'm not fan of wheelers... 2 wheels is more my style

[@smileysun9212]

@@lawnrebel Your one of the few I know who hasn’t had problems with Polaris but those that do you never hear them stop complaining. You can say I have a dirt bike with training wheels on it. 😂 It’s great for plowing snow & towing trailers around the yard. I’ve hunted & go on a rides then find a place for a picnic. You got it made that Sis Ward can carry the picnic stuff while your on your dirt bike. 👍

[@NaturallyCapturedWeddings]

Nice video Connor! What a journey this one was. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

[@ZachMaynard]

I went to great lengths! Killed, fallowed, killed, fallowed. Still got unwanted grasses. Maybe it was still in soil or in my very expensive premium seed. Who knows. Good luck but I bet it’ll creep back.

[@rosetealatte9282]

I must say I never expected to see a flame thrower on a lawn channel 😂

[@jasoncollins6017]

Is it a pipe dream? Ya probably….. Bro, that was classic. Very funny.. I’ve been on a similar journey with my lawn where every year I’m working on my lawn but cannot get it to where I’m satisfied. Aside from the weeds I’ve realized certain spots have some rocks & roots that have to come out. Soil is impacted also. Not as fun compared to burning lawn

[@lawnrebel]

Lol.. Never seems to work out just right

[@jasoncollins6017]

Ain’t that the truth. I’m sure next season we’ll both be out there unsatisfied about something else. Just subbed, forgot how funny you are. Any suggestions on dealing with compacted soil. I’m only attacking spots where I have weeds or lawn died from heat. Liquid aeration actually work or is that pipe dream. Funny bastard

[@lawnrebel]

Yeah I'm sure that liquid aeration does work over time and with a lot of apps. The problem that I see with punching holes is that you are likely spreading around weed or poa seeds. I honestly believe that is how I ran into poa triv getting everywhere. I'm not sure what to say or tell you about compaction. If you core aerate then you'd want to collect cores. I could be totally off base. Just my theory.

[@BOBY4EVER15]

wow. never ending project ! keep up the good work! love watching your videos! :)

$55 at Home Depot or $20 at Harbor Freight with a self starter. I replanted my entire backyard and burned everything with a Harbor Freight weed torch and it worked great. No noticeable weeds after planting.
