Mowing My Mansion! (Super Satisfying)

[@Somewhereintime22]

It takes that kind of love and passion for a property to keep the renovation, repair, and maintenance ball rolling forward...not to mention the farm...which is I’ve learned through your channel is basically a huge industrial business. You and your family have so much enthusiasm and energy! Love watching your videos...especially the cleaning ones and the ones about your house. Looks like a mansion to me!

[@craigmlaker6901]

Hey Cole, I'm a retired dairy farmer that has also run a lawn care company for the past 33 years. For just seeding your lawn last fall, its really looking good. The weeds really are no big deal, like you said 24D will take care of most of them. As for crabgrass, you wouldn't see any yet. It dies out every fall and it probably its just beginning to germinate now in your area. You will see a lot of it lot of it later on because of the new seeding. Early next spring spray the lawn with a pre emerge crabgrass control. Good luck, any questions let me know.

[@elizabethliska5377]

DC the new bin site will be a godsend. More efficient easier to use and less work. Can not wait to see it all start to take shape and see it working when it is done!!

[@kelleyworsham9187]

That grass is a labor of love.

[@johnbailey2039]

Summer great job editing, the videos are coming fast and ferocious. Both Cole and Nava's as well as yours. You guys are becoming my favorite you tube family.

[@littlepastelkitten]

I love videos like this where I can get a short look into people's every day lives. it's interesting

[@mrsmemist]

3:29 The white flowered weeds are probably peppercress, which is edible and slightly tangy/sharp. I sometimes add it to salads

[@mrsdig57]

Cole your place is already looking great it's come along way. When you get your new ben's your house finished inside and out. The grove cleaned out and the grass is all up your place will be the most beautiful farm around. When you are married and have kids and grand kids that see these video's they all will be so proud to see what you accomplished with the work ethic that was instilled in you from your grandpa and daddy. The cornstarch family are my favorite You Tubers.

Green is green, the lawn looks awesome!

[@131dyana]

Love to see that you have grass to mow. God bless.

[@rstephe]

First mow of a new yard after all that work is always a great feeling. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out over the next few seasons.

[@comeandtravel1]

I'd hit the weedy area with some Trimec in a sprayer. Another idea is with the blue grass mix some rye grass seed with it...rye germinates in 2-3 days where the blue grass takes weeks. The rye will hold your soil and will eventually get overrun by the blue grass.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

We took the easy way out and got Kentucky Blue grass as sod. We had the best lawn around, I noticed recently that there's some dandelions on the side yard, my husband needs to go out and put some weed and feed on the lawn.

[@penniezilke9268]

My girlfriend and her husband replant seed grass over their entire lawn each year. They have an amazing lawn!! Soooo thick and lush!

[@robyngoern3115]

In Australia 🇦🇺 we have spray bottles that attach to your hose called “weed and feed “ it kills the broad leaf weeds but not the lawn and fertilisers at the same time xx

[@fredted1611]

We have it here too. We also have it in pellet form for dry broadcast.

[@detroitredwing919]

Thanx 👌 much love from Detroit 👍

[@ChrysanthsMum]

If it's green. It's grass to me. Love my buttercups and dandelions! 🌼

[@Seastar92025]

Your yard idea is beautiful. It will come together as you know. I am wondering after the lawn is established if your brother will give it those fancy stripes. Indeed.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I love the grass mowed like a baseball field.

[@jetblast1212]

Ahhh, the satisfaction of a fresh lawn, I'll bet you're happy. Hopefully, this will be the last year DC has to do the auger dance to get the corn moved around; bring on the new bin site.

[@timloveless5409]

I love the sound of that 4 cylinder Jimmy in the Oliver. (a scream really at full throttle) We had one as our big plow tractor when I was a kid in the 60's.

[@narellemacpherson6451]

Yep just keep mowing the grass before the weeds seed. There will still be a weed seed bank in the soil, however it will diminish over time, just keep mowing. All the best with your lawn

[@joeslandscaping3672]

Lawn is on its way to looking great Cole! Here in NJ..we always use a starter fert and seed, a quick back rake for soil contact with a leaf rake ,seed again, roll and or straw depending on location. Most popular seed for us....turf type tall fescue

[@ejharrop1416]

Thank you, God bless

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I am so proud you are able to cut your grass finally! Looks great! God bless your family!

[@elizabethliska5377]

Banvel 24d and some par 3 for the Dandelions if you have. We used this on our farmyard grass. Visitors said our lawn looked better than a golf course!!

[@brodelydick1139]

We use 2, 4-D for all of our broad leaf yards and it works perfect.

[@mariamontalvo-vachon7581]

The anticipation is KILLING ME!!!!!! You're toying with our emotions.😄😄 I am so looking forward to seeing everyone out in the field. Thanks for sharing.

[@belindaulibarri2260]

I think the grass seed probably washed downhill with the rains and made the lower ground more lush.

[@salvatorem1959]

Around 5:50 . That was a nice song. From the part of it I heard, it sounds pretty good

[@carriegrosenick6426]

Daddy Cornstar is always moving corn around. Cole your Kentucky blue grass is going to look great when you get done. Love you guys. 🥰♥️💖🌽🌽

[@Paige0557]

Yates Weed & Fert kills all broadleaf and fertilizes the grass. Brings my lawns up awsome

[@cliffriggs6622]

Hey used to work at a sod farm here in Oklahoma and my boss would use Dawn dish soap at a ratio of about 3 gallons per teaspoon. For broadleaf weeds prior to him spraying 2 4D. He would do this twice in a week prior to Spring the 24d. Definitely will say this kills a good 40% of the weeds prior to the harsh chemicals, it works Definitely gives the chemicals advantage

[@bobk3840]

Mow mow mow frequently will really thicken that grass. That plus weeds don’t care to be mowed and will die out eventually. Mowing is just as important as the fertilizer

[@Sleekfalcon]

You should see my "front yard" right now lol. We finally got moved out here to our 10 acres. My front yard is thorns right now because well, there is a tree I have to cut to get the brush hog in there to clear our pad out. But before that I have an rv to move because my brother's house is stuck on the road in. Which is just a path right now lol. Right now we are parked just outside the trees looking over a hillside which is a beautiful view but not our permanent location. You've done a beautiful job turning that place around. Love your videos. Can't wait to start a garden here. But that may be next year due to how late we are getting here and I still need tractor attachments! It all takes time right!

[@dalegereaux1863]

I think you should get a blanket and a picnic basket and take Nave on a date on the new lawn. After all, she did paint your basement for you.

Can confirm, first day in the field is the most complex. Got in today, and got snowed out 2 hours after starting plowing. Thanks Mother Nature!

[@mrromantimothy]

Imagine if you could go back and talk to Grandpa Cornstar and hear the stories he could tell you, going tthrough the depression and all the daily hardships he faced. People would be able to understand why he never threw anything made of metal away.

Get the Ultraviolet Dye for in the sprayer water, and the UV Blue Led Lighs under the boom- then you can really see the spray water after dark and see the real spray pattern -and any leaks will light up Blue-green.and the UV dye is nicely Insert. .

[@laurasimpson7650]

Green as green can be. Looking good, Cole!

[@shawnengstrom3906]

Key to your lawn is to mow often. Weeds don't like it, but the grass will thrive and put out more rizomes.

[@drekfletch]

Alternately, mow less so that the grass is able to establish an extensive root system to feed the grass when it is mowed. Also not getting hung up on a desire for monoculture lawns is a great option.

[@elizabethgriffin9434]

Get a post emergent for the weeds and spray. Don't mow the grass low. A healthy lawm needs to stay a bit taller to spread and choke out the weeds. Once the grass is thick and established then you can cut lower.

[@WickusO]

Hey Cole, Looking good in those Oakley's.

[@ChaiLatte13]

Looks good Cole. Will take some time to get the yard all figured out, but remember what it used to look like. Making progress!

[@somdhomestead9031]

Cole, I used TRIMEC commercially way back. 2-4-D & MCPP & Dicamba. Still use it on my lawn today. Great for broadleaf Dicots.

[@jenniferhoaglin566]

My Husband said look online Scott's has a chart to follow on where you are & what to put on your grass. Our lawn looks amazing. He got some info off that. 👍🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@mikei2545]

What would work perfect Cole would be a starter fertilizer with Mesotrione. That would stop the crabgrass and most of the broadleaves. That is not crabgrass that you saw, crabgrass is an annual that germinates when the soil temperature is more than a continuous 50 degrees for several days in a row.

[@inglis7086]

I was thinking the top lawn closer to the house needed some nitrate just like you have in the big sprayer - maybe you run the sprayer over the lawn lightly

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

The music during the mowing was so perfect❗ I had to chuckle. 😂

[@Cragified]

A lot of that is just Dandelion which is actually good for the yard in the long run. Brings calcium up to the surface and helps aerate the soil with its deep roots, which will help grass establish better.

[@sarahrichards3123]

Hope the grass finally grows this time on the bald spot in yard. Esp. After all the hard work put into fixing that area.

[@darinareyacrazyman1505]

Since your broad leaf weeds will pop up taller than the grass, maybe rig up a wick system for the mover or an ATV and hit them that way. Less stress on the grass, less competition from the weeds = better established grass by the time winter arrives.

[@michaelparker5814]

Great to see front lawn grown in finally when I put grass in around my barn build it took 2 years to take off

[@kennywilhite2092]

[@ltstevecfd]

You can mow the lawn three times before you spray. check out the 24D you spray on your crop and in the bad of the label should be rates for veg management.

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌽 🌟

[@sethburt7950]

I’m happy to see your grass is doing well man!! 🌽

[@PlanetMojo]

Spray with mesotrione. It will allow you to overseed, will kill existing weeds, and is also a pre-emergent. Spray again in 28 days. 2.4-D will not kill the weedy grasses, and will mess with any overseeding you do. Mesotrione is also known as Tenacity. I sprayed a few days ago and I'm already seeing results. Good luck!

[@deannamcnamara3393]

I live in Australia and over here we get this stuff called "Weed and Feed" and it gets rid of the weeds in your grass and doesn't harm the grass (you get different ones for different types of grass) 🙂

[@curlybibliophagist2]

You aren't supposed to use weed killer on new seed.

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

We have that here as well 😀

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

As long as no moles show up... 😉 Thanks a lot for the video!😊👍🏻

[@alaeniasharpe8881]

My husband thought I was crazy for laughing when you said 2 4-D, LV6 I was like we sell that at work! It's a multi purpose weed killer, perfect for broadleaf jerks that need eviction! We also sell a Kentucky Blue grass blend. Nothing wrong with spreading more seed, but if you have time, lack of funds, or other things to do, it's a great spread it, water it nice for the season and just watch it grow and spread. 🤣 Thank you Cole, I needed the laugh.

[@tomshaw2358]

And the CORNSTAR lets DC handle the corn playing on the new equipment

[@dwisecup51]

I used to live next door to a farmer. He had beautiful grass. He used his farming equipment to fertilize his lawn. You definitely need a broadweed killer. You will get crab grass after the temperature goes over 90 degrees.

I hope ya'll have good, productive crops this year and the weather cooperates. SUMMER, can the videos be 15 min at least? You did awesome on today's video!! It flowed well. My heart rate has been racing a bit with each video, afraid with getting the corn out, it will pile on the ground somehow.

Yep, 2,4-D and some Dicamba (Banvel) will clean that up. Otherwise those weeds are sucking up your moisture and nutrients that you want the grass to have.

[@nokesbob2256]

My yard in Washington state has a weed called yellow buttercup. It has roots as fine as a hair. You can pull them out all you want but they just come back. It is in everything in my yard. I can't seem to get rid of it without killing everything with it. I've not put any chemicals on my yard because I have wildlife that depend on the grass and things. So I've been putting up with the stuff. Your grass is looking really good.

You have to get rid of those weeds or the bluegrass will always be spotty and over time it will be rough mowing. Do the 2-4d now and in the fall when you see dandelions and don't let them go to seed. Some of the bluegrass may not even be up yet.
