Ryan, are you working on a Ryan Knorr elite rye grass mix? I can't find Ryan's lawn on your website. I am looking to start adding rye into my bluegrass mono next year.

I live maybe 15 miles from Ryan and I've never understood why most people "shut it down" in Sept. My neighbor has his irrigation system blown out as soon as summers over. My lawn looked it's best last year in Oct, Nov, and even into early Dec.

[@easterlake]

@@juzoli true, but I'm guessing that's not most the people who watch these videos.

[@backpacker3421]

Last year, I laid down a micronutrient dump in October (about to do it again this year), and my fescue was green and beautiful all through the Puget Sound winter and was growing heavy a month earlier than normal this spring.

[@possiblyacop2465]

Ryan, just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you. Two years ago I would have said that if I ever got a lawn then I'd hire a company to come take care of it, but after finding your channel and CW's in March and moving in with my girlfriend I've come to love lawn care. The feeling of pulling into my driveway and seeing how great my lawn looks fills me with more pride than I ever thought was possible. So thanks for giving me something else I can be proud of.

[@jfarm_1311]

I knew you’d come around to loving the fescue. I also think at 3” thick fescue looks pretty good

[@blakegerdeman]

Just ordered the gallon bundle. I’ve been following you and Connor for a few months now and the yard at our new house is reaping the benefits of everything I’ve learned from you guys! Love watching your videos, keep it up!

[@northstar5]

I'm always so jealous of you guys that can just mow whenever you want. My neighborhood is basically a forest. I can't mow until I've spent at least 90 minutes blowing, raking and bagging leaves first. Each "mow" takes me 3-4 hours. And then the wind picks up for ten minutes, and it looks like it never even happened. Guh...

[@Mikebike68]

Haha I definitely have a milder version of that going on.

[@mattheww2797]

I have the Johnathan Green Black Beauty Ultra that's mainly tall fescue and I love the way it looks, it took the heat all summer with no water and stayed green, didn't do a lot of growing but never got brown or completely checked out.

[@GirLzLawn]

I'm glad you are into the Fescue. I'll be glued to your content on the various grass types.

[@JesseTheBody1]

Having the TTTF in the back and the shorter rye in the front is analogous to those mullets you and CW grew out. Business in the front, party in the back. I’m sure the dogs love the taller fescue out back. It’s the same with kids.

[@RootedLawnCo]

I like to use my backpack blower to knock the worm castings down before I mow. It seems to help! Try it out.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Too muddy in my case. I tried it today

[@RootedLawnCo]

@@ryanknorrlawncare bummer. Not sure other strategies. But I too have a lot of worm castings so I’ll let ya know if I find another solution. I don’t know if I really want to spray anything to kill them, seems extreme. #Reelmowingprobz

thats awesome! what a great to send you that backpack.

Kudos to your friend for such a wonderful gift. Totally awesome!! Great video per the usual Ry. 👏

[@zarethd]

I leaf blow the warm castings before I mow Don't catch all of them but it helps

[@hometurfco]

Lawn looks great Ryan! Just goes to show that hard work can get the lawn through some neglect when you're too busy.

[@Cheeser1764]

Ryan, I know you don’t have them but can you give any advice about growing grass under and around pine trees? Having a terrible time trying to get anything to take with the acidic soils. Thanks

[@braddick4130]

Cut the tree down 😉 look at golf courses lined with pine trees. They don’t even bother and they have all the money and resources. Maybe if you replaced the soil and bagged your clippings from day one.

[@kevinshepard1748]

Chainsaw is your best friend in that situation.

[@kevinshepard1748]

Dont assume it's automatically acidic. Shade is the likely issue if its right under a tree. Grass can grow in acidic soil. Grass cant grow without the correct amount of light.

[@Cheeser1764]

@@kevinshepard1748 I think you are right. I’ve been trimming back the canopy to let more southerly light underneath, while trying not to leave the tree looking wonky. But I pulled a soil sample and it is indeed acidic. My next move is to lightly lime, add some pulverized black, seed cover and water water water. It’s been dry up here in MN.

[@stash7714]

Better off putting in a border and mulch or rock. I had same issues, that fixed it ha.

[@GaetanoDeFranceschi]

Ryan your suggestions are always appreciated. You might consider to start to sell your products also in Europe! In Italy I think you should be successful

[@jherrmann543]

Looks amazing for the amount of time you have been spending at the new property. Definitely going to have to seed some more in the spring. This fall was rough and grass didn’t come in as thick as i wanted

Why 3” on fescue? Like the look or just to save time mowing?

[@nmatas8]

What do you use for broad leaf weed control in newly seeded lawns. And when? Rye and TTTF

[@LawnDad]

The yard looks great!

[@duncanbrown7082]

Regarding worm castings, I had a HAWK move into my area a few months ago. It killed every bird, squirrel, and possum in my yard. The many birds that nested and ate on my property are gone. They had been returning for years, but I don’t say any of them around. Because of this my lawn is full of worm castings. THOUSANDS OF THEM! It’s a muddy mess. I mowed yesterday before leaving for work and my stripes are now shades of brown. Any suggestions for eliminating these castings? (Toro Greensmaster 1000, HOC 5/8”, 100% RPR)

[@douglasauruss]

Dylox will kill 70-80% of your earthworm population. Which is no big deal, they won't die off, and they'll bounce back in time. I have way too many earthworms too. There's a point where they really need to be cut back.

[@duncanbrown7082]

@@douglasauruss thank you for that. So far it hasn’t been banned in Canada. It’s a rarity!

[@thereelrhodylawn]

Try clearys 3336 fungicide. It def helps. I use it in my fungicide rotation throughout the year. I've notice the difference

[@Greenfreedom2024]

Is it okay to use that simple lawn solutions in the fall?

[@thereelrhodylawn]

You gotta try clearys 3336 fungicide for the worm castings. It makes a difference in my yard when I use it. I only get them next to my neighbors side and that's cuz all the worms have moved that way.

[@GonHer37]

Your lawn looks amazing. What kind of grass is it?

[@Lyno10851]

What kind of mower do you use? Model num?

[@coachschenk]

Not a related question but what is the best way to fix my patchy seeding job? I recently cut down some trees, ground the stumps, pulled out all the debris, put in new soil (tamping and watering each layer) but apparently I did a crappy job of spreading seed and it is super spotty. In my defense partially due to some downpours on my seed that I didn’t put any straw over. Thoughts?

[@jonnyc8291]

@RyanKnorr, Make sure to check your pins on the Toro lawn roller bracket! I have had them fall out a few times and see yours are almost about to drop out! :)

[@paulli405]

Why do you use multiple mowers? Is it based on how close you want to cut?

[@LTFC1964]

Man, I live in the UK and my entire lawn is covered in worm castes, it is soul destroying. It takes me longer to try and brush them away before I mow than the actual mowing itself. I have complete empathy for you. Have you got any ideas on how to reduce them. Great vid as always Ryan.

[@6milky6]

I would also like to hear that. Have the same problem in Croatia. I think that in europe we dont have products that can control them legaly

[@LTFC1964]

@@6milky6 hi, yeah there was a product but is was banned in 2017. Saponins is another method but low and behold that is banned in Europe too. Lowering the PH level and adding a heavy sand top dressing seems to be the only legal method but I was hoping someone out there might have a better way. Gonna give the Rigby ClearCast a look👍

[@johnchristopher8424]

Hey I happen to see a something you might look into, it's called a greens keeper whipping pole. The video I saw they were using it to clear the dew and knock down the worm castings before they mow

Feeling your pain here in VT; the earthworms are just decimating my yard up here, ugh. Have't come across many solutions for them, I know they are very beneficial to the soil, but man, they cause so much damage on short-cut turf. Yard is looking great and congrats on the backpack blower, definitely the MVP of yard tools in my opinion.

[@douglasauruss]

Apply Dylox. Reduces earthworm population.

[@sd76-22]

Let’s talk about real mowing if your yard is not perfectly level. Would you consider it without considering leveling it out? I have some hills and def it’s not level when I cut. Lord of bumps in some areas

[@peterobara3040]

The backyard looks awesome; I seeded the new millenia from your site in my yard about a month ago so curious how it will mature. So far its a bit flimsy and falls over pretty easily but Im guessing will thicken over time. Anyone else have experience with new millenia?

[@tvercel]

Looks fantastic. All of us appreciate the recent rains. Very curious if you plan to apply a granular product also before the end of the season. Just want to order something similar to what you plan to use. I put down Humic Max a few weeks ago and am still spoon feeding with your equalizer ORR product but not sure about what to apply to my KBG lawn in northern Illinois before end of season. Thoughts?

[@JFreezePleaze]

Would you try to plant seed in this weather? 40s lows and 60s high?

[@jasondrew6148]

Ryan, what are your thoughts on battery operated lawn mowers? Have you thought of reaching out to any vendors to do a demo on one (ie echo or ego)? I have a very thick rye and kbg lawn and kinda wonder how much power it would have when it comes to cutting thick grass at about 3 inches tall in the spring and fall. Seeing what one of these mowers would do on your back yard would be a great video for some of us thinking about switching to battery power.

[@werebacke]

What type of lawn mower would that be called

[@joecosenza1473]

What did you do about the side yard those spots that washed away the grass?

[@Overpar73]

Couple of quick questions, where is the best place to buy the Swardman and can I get another code for my 5th bag of rye elite seed, will the bag be OK through the winter to use next spring or should I wait and order the new bag in the early spring? Time to go out and mow!! Take care!

[@JMakahaFitz]

Does your lawncare guide cover care for different types of grass? My lawn is pretty much 100% KBG in Northern Illinois but cut it at 3", not as low as you cut, does the guide show care for the "different strokes for different folks"? or is it a sort of all for one guide?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

It is more for "normal" lawns and not the super short cut. That's a whole other ball game

Ryan, is there anything stopping me from leveling my lawn every like 6 weeks once everything’s come through and back to normal? It’s healthy and growing fast and thick but just want it all to be flat I’m in Southern California and this St Aug is like 75% through and this will just keep growing till like December for us.

Hoping to get my fescue looking like that as well. What do you recommend in backpack sprayers? I see you have the Milwaukee one hanging up and you have a different one in the clip you showed.

[@rogeliomartinez9113]

What battery edger are you using Ryan?

[@ajack7122]

Great content as always. Have been fertilizing for the past month or so and I am beginning to find Grubs in the yard. It is my understanding that when you cut the grass very low it allows the beetles to lay their eggs and the Grubs develop. Also, I use high levels of Nitrogen and the Grubs love this stuff. What do you recommend for Grub prevention?

[@d0wnbyth3riv3r2]

Great job Ryan!

[@KrahsThe]

Ryan, speaking of damage, you never seem to have to deal with moles and voles. I have been struggling with that a lot. I caught one, and I've been doing pepper/castor oil and thought I had this figured out finally. Sure enough, last week, they returned. I'm so disappointed - do you do something specific to prevent or do you not have moles in your area?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I just showed that I do a few weeks ago haha

[@sciphan.]

I noticed the concrete has some damage on the edges. Is that from the blade edger? I've always used a string trimmer but it doesn't do as well. Debating on getting a blade edger.

It's from aging concrete

Do a stand alone, dormant seed test plot...it would be interesting to see how well, when it germinates. Keep up the good work!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I did a dormant seeding project last year at my father in laws. We had good results with it which I showed this spring, but it's always going to vary depending on if you get the right conditions or you don't in the early spring
