Preparing For Spring Lawn Seeding + Pre Emergent + Liquid Fertilizer Application

It's inching closer and closer to spring seeding time and since I don't have a front yard at the moment, there's a lot of work to do! In this video I also apply some pre emergent and get a quick liquid fertilizer application down on the low cut test plots.

You are all set now with all your outdoor Power equip......UNREAL!!!!! As my gramps always said........TOOLS are 90% of the battle!!!!!

[@FreedomRock44]

Ryan you got in the DIY lawn care gig at the perfect time....SImple Lawn Solutions!!!!! I remember seeing your stuff on AMAZON years ago and now everyone else is trying to join in. That is okay but you and a couple of others are the Godfathers of DIY!!!!!! You were one of the first not only to teach but offer PRODUCT.....SMART MAN!!!!!!!

[@jfarm_1311]

Can’t wait to see the front yard! I think spring is finally here

[@nblack6954]

Great video as always! I love how your videos don't try and push sales the entire time like some other lawn care pros...

[@merrell1982]

Watching the grading was very satisfying.

[@tzito87]

Can’t wait! Just got my seed in the mail, and some good simple lawn 😉 can’t wait for spring to really arrive!!!

[@xIMxMCLOVINx]

We live in the same zone and I binged your videos late fall in preparation for my first year with a lawn. Aerated and seeded heavy early Nov for an attempted dormant seeding. Fingers crossed some seed made it!

[@grantt1836]

If the aerate don’t work for you this year I’d Verticut this fall. My yard went from pretty much dirt to thick grass. Just a suggestion.

[@alexschmitt9317]

Watching the progress is awesome. Keep it up!

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

First Aussie 😁. Ryan, get ready to Spring into action on the Lawn Ranch. 🤠

[@AllenRob87]

I’m in central Illinois, your ground looks similar to the ground around us. Some of the best farm land in the country. The grass will be epic at your new place.

[@kevinshepard1748]

Nothing better than when you get to start working outside

[@steffen707-]

Epic front yard, can't wait to see what you do. Keep up the good work 🎉

[@jncwelch874]

would love to see you do a wildflower area im going to try this fall around the garden. keep up the good work.

[@brentbeneky9762]

I really hope I’m not too late on pre-emergent for my lawn, it’s been a week or two of 40-50 degree days, it rained two days. I was going to aim to doing it last week but didn’t do it. A lot of grown is starting and I can only hope I didn’t miss, I’m aiming on applying pre-emergent Tuesday because it’s raining Wednesday

[@lifeislucci]

Ryan, make sure you drain the downspout at least 20 ft away from your foundation. Great work and loving the updates!

[@Overpar73]

Looking forward to seeing the front yard done! Also looking forward to the sprinkler system install, take care and don't work too hard! Hope to see you guys at Paul & Emily's in a couple weeks?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I'll be hard at work on many projects so won't be able to make it.

[@Sean-76lt]

Living the dream! Great video. Keep it up!

[@terrywatts1060]

Yes we here.

[@zachblair463]

Watching you drive a skid steer over your drain field makes me anxious for you...

[@jwbowie11]

We’re still buried in 4-6 inches of snow. Can’t wait to get back on the lawn. Look forward to what your front yard will turn into.

[@athomas2k8]

4-6 inches is not buried

[@jwbowie11]

Okay dude…

[@KneelB4NoMan]

[@workinprogress4870]

Have 2-3 feet of snow to still melt here in wc MN and not a 50 degree day in the forecast

[@markypshoots]

this is the absolute dream!!!

[@cloudyslawn3745]

We're skipping the cooler spring here in the California mountains.. With all that land it'd be awesome to see a wildflower/pollinater patch!!!

[@AllenRob87]

It’s naturally occurring in the unkept parts of the land.

[@cloudyslawn3745]

@Iron Oak Acres yea same out here but its mostly nasty weeds that dominate everything else

[@titosrevenger]

Yeah the biggest issue is dealing with invasive species so that the native plants can establish.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I have one area so far of wildflowers and we'll be planting more this season. We have about 38 acres of "natural" stuff and unfortunately as others have mentioned, a lot of invasives that will take over everything if you let it.

[@paulbaratta1566]

Still haven’t turned the water back on. Temps from 70 one afternoon to high 20s at night in NEw England. Turf still 41 temp Maybe next week?

[@the_lawn_don]

Ryan, it would be much easier to install a drywell for the runoff from your roof leader! Property is looking good!!

[@MrDeuce1956]

So it's okay to apply granular prodiamine with ground temps below 50 degrees?

[@allensadicario5196]

Looking good brother

[@brianpaauwe3641]

Just starting our lawn in Michigan. Came across your channel when trying to learn as much as I can. Wow! Best law care channel I’ve seen! Love all of your videos. Very easy to watch and informative. Making my way through all of them. Question. What are the grass plots for?

[@gsp4prez]

He is doing some testing and stuff for his seed that he offers. At least that was the plan.

[@awf118]

May want to consider installing a solar powered fan in the shipping container for the summer to keep the air moving.

[@lisapaulparsons9549]

Help! Total lawn Reno 18 months ago with your instruction, but it’s obvious now my Elite Perennial Ryegrass isn’t living well in shadier areas. What can I mix with it for these areas? I just purchased another 25 pounds of sissy grass seed and thinking I should have done a lawn inspection first. Seattle.😊

[@Rinacgolf]

What’s the best thing to put on top of seed after it’s been put down? Peat moss or just light topsoil?

[@paulirvine4476]

Ryan, Thanks for the information regarding pre-emergents. I'm in upstate New York and, when all the snow melted, I saw that I have moss everywhere in my lawn. Last year I noticed a small amount but this year it has spread dramatically. Do you have any suggestions for killing it? Thank you.

[@alexerickson9266]

How do the Agrifab settings compare to scott settings for fertilizer and or seeding? Thanks

[@dylan8285]

You might want to go with a tall fescue rye blend so you get color but also drought tolerance

[@joshuaramos1963]

My back yard is half grass the other is completely dead and gone. I’m going to put down new seed with Scott’s turf builder safe for seeding because it will prevent crabgrass. What can I put down on my other half of lawn that has crab grass already on it and what can I put on it to prevent it from getting out of hand? I don’t want to put something down that’s going to mess with my seeding because the lawns are next to each other?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I'd probably just go with spraying that half to kill what's there if it's already coming up. The prevention won't work if it's already growing

[@nygrasshole]

Can’t wait to follow the journey. Hey Ryan quick question for you. I didn’t dethatch my backyard last fall. I applied my first app of pre emergent already a couple of weeks ago. I see thatch that can be removed. If I dethatch, am I breaking my pre emergent barrier?

[@christopherfaschan4618]

Hey Ryan - Do you reccocemnd core aerating in the spring ? I Finished a foundation drainage project last year and would like to thatch, core aerate, and thatch again and seed the yard that was disrupted. Thoughts ?

[@Vanoturhai]

Hi. Should i put preemergent this spring if the sod was installed few months ago in november-december? Chicago area

[@frankthetank9525]

Ryan, I know in ideal conditions I should wait to dethatch/aerate in Wisconsin BUT soil temps are around 40 with air temps in 50s all week. I should be ok to dethatch now???? 🤞

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I would do it when you have mowed a few times

[@johnds6621]

watch out the trailer can also get to humid inside which will cause mold and mildew everywhere and cause your bags of lawn products to get damp inside.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I've had it for over a year now and no real issues so far

[@philgiuffre6390]

Really informative. Question - we typically see a lot of dandelions in our area in WI. Do you typically deal with those via a different pre emergent, or after they’ve grown?

[@TankHank-kd2iq]

Ugh. My soil temp is only 43. Impatient to get on with my pre-emergent application.

[@smoothie16g-qp8kz]

Nice video

[@steffen707-]

What grows between the plots?

[@FreedomRock44]

Ryan what is happening to the land to the left of you.....Did it just get tilled for crops or is that new land being built upon??????

[@samwise152]

How did your property do with those severe storms?

[@gregorysimerlein1162]

Do u worry about leaving lawn products in the shed all winter?

[@landmarkcreations1183]

How do you like your kubota skid steer? Thinking I might go with a mini skid for what I would use it for.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Love it!

[@FreedomRock44]

Could you double layer that new area with Prodiamine and maybe a Preen over it?????

[@Piccolo_Re]

When you seed in the spring I’d imagine you have to spend tons of money watering it to survive through the summer when the heat comes.

[@Teslavangelist]

Do you have any down jackets? Comfy, light, and warmer than multiple cotton layers. Just make sure it's 800 or higher down fill rating

[@DaveMayotte]

How do you measure how much N you are putting down with the 16 4 8 you used? How often do you do that?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

It's right around .1 pounds of N and with spoon feeding that would be done every 2-3 weeks

[@DaveMayotte]

@Ryan Knorr Lawn Care thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, that would be using the 16 4 8 at the label rate?

[@dash9658]

I have 4 feet of snow on my yard😢😢😢😢😢

[@eminented]

Thumbnail had me thinking I was about to watch a Death Standing play thru

[@jasonb8081]

Are you eventually going to get rid of shipping container?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Not planning to, no

[@GeneralFrankenberry]

Damn you must be really prospering these days. Don't remember you having all this fancy equipment in the past, but that's a small fortune from where you started.

[@rabidraccoon9]

When’s should I mow for the first time? Should I mow before I apply preemergent?

[@Aehaze]

Its not to early for the Prodiamine? Dont you want soil temps to be about 50-60 before you start worrying about that?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Germination begins at 55 and we have plenty of warm temps on the way so the soil temps will jump up pretty quickly

[@adamfrbs9259]

If you're moving on 49.8 degree soil temp in this video, then I'm running late on seeding my spots that went bad last fall. Ugh lol

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Depends on your upcoming forecast. We're supposed to get fairly warm quickly

[@CharlieElliott24]

Go full wildflower in the back!! Check out Prairie Moon, they've got all the seed you need.

[@A-Kings-Cut]
