Overseeding My Couch (Bermuda) Golf Green With Bentgrass

Today I'm overseeding my TifTuf Bermuda Couch Golf green with bentgrass so I can keep colour on it during winter. Really excited to see how this turns out! It was a pretty big process.
I also topdressed the green to help retain moisture for the seed.

I just gotta say, you're getting me interested in a potential hobby. I love mowing my lawn but watching your videos makes me wanna take extra care of them. After mowing my lawn last week, I've been admiring it almost everyday ahaha

[@caveman5831]

Lol, funny enough I'm the same but for me it all started small by just me trying to find out the name/type of the grass in my yard and how to look after it a little to now 5 months later I'm going silly over lawn..

[@alcredeur]

It can become an addiction for sure, especially if you go down the rabbit hole of low real mowing.

[@patrciaclemons8183]

Get a life. Y'all so dependant on the government that when your not at work for them, you put your time money and energy into growing grass on your lawn....

Love these vids. I laid some tiftuff a year ago. It’s going well but it’s uneven - like a few inches out across the breadth of 9 metres. I could top dress it but coming into winter it’s not the right time and secondly, a few inches is quite a lot. Welcome peoples thoughts and recommendations.

[@photonthief]

I can't wait to see how this overseed goes! I'm down in Melbourne and would love to get a topdress done on my tif tuf before the winter but I'm worried I might have left it too late.

[@LawnTips]

Might be a little late for a topdress which is a bummer.

So many closed minded people here. Obviously this isn't for everyone, he's taking it to the next level as you would when you elevate a "normal task" to a hobby. And all of you saying just put in an artificial lawn are entitled to your opinion, but I can say I have yet to see an artificial lawn that did not look artificial. Personally I think most artificial turfs are garbage looking compared to the real thing, and are no where close to being as pleasant to walk on or use. Depending on where you live, HOA's in the US won't allow artificial turf in the front as it is ugly.

[@johnb8956]

Very true. I cringe so much when I see people covering huge areas of land with it. I do get it when it’s a tiny out the way space though. Also agree with the hobby thing never understand how people don’t get that sort of thing. I guess some people can’t understand enjoying something that they don’t.

Hey man, my kikuyu is currently being mown at 40mm but I’m keen to get it down to 15-20mm. Would you advise scalping it down to just below 15-20mm and then raise it up or just slowly lower HOC over time? Not sure which method is best to get it looking good at 15mm fastest. Loving the videos recently too.

[@caveman5831]

At the start of April I scalped my kikuyu lawn by putting my standard lawn mower at the lowest it will go (number 1) and it really took it back to dirt then I used grub killer for black Beatles and then hit it up with fertilizer.. now 3.5 weeks later it's coming back very well, I also gave it a mow few days ago and went to (number 3) on my mower which seems to be the sweet spot for me coz it's low and still nice and green so I think I'll just keep cutting it at (number 3) height..

Does anyone know what kind of ryegrass he used ? Looking for some too apply to my Bermuda.

@Lawn Tips I have a question. My house is on top of a hill. So, naturally my front yard is a fairly steep hill. I'm guessing, approximately 20-30 degree incline, no joke. I assume I can't use sand as a leveler because the rain will just wash it down the hill and into the street. Do you have any recommendations? Should I use a sand/soil mix? Take care, and stay safe.
