Welcome to the blue/rye/fescue club! I’ve been throwing down this type of mix from hardware shop seed for years (just not the high quality), now I can follow a lawn program suited for my grasses.

[@markchase8128]

I started better lawn management this year. I only recently found Ryan's videos, given me some good ideas. Aerated in the spring, dethatch and overseed a few weeks ago. Been watering and it has recovered nicely. Think i have almost every grass type for the midwest. Zoysia, bermuda, tall fescue and ryegrass. I haven't summed up what i have spent yet. Pro tip: Track your fertilizer applications in a spreadsheet. Next year will be lawn leveling, its pretty bumpy. Thanks Ryan.

[@kevinbooher7574]

I'm actually glad for your "mistake". I want a mainly tall fescue lawn but your channel is my go to for information. I am excited to see what you do with your backyard now.

[@jordanfriesen]

I have to say I started getting into lawn care this year but was totally uneducated. I tried planting tall fescue in spring and it all died in the heat of the summer. Then I found your channel. I started watching everything about fall renovations and literally followed your overseeding fall program step by step to the letter. It's been nearly 3 weeks since then and I have an amazing full tall fescue back yard and am very much looking forward to seeing what you have to say about tall fescue so though I am sure it sucks having this happen, many like myself will benefit. Thanks for all your videos you have transformed my lawn!

[@jconsentino]

I just planted some of Pete's TTTF a week ago. Just starting to see some germination in the shadier spots where the soil doesn't dry out as fast. My schedule doesn't allow me to water 2-3 times per day except on weekends so we'll see how my first overseed pans out in the next few weeks. But, am glad you might have some TTTF tips down road. Love the content!

[@davenet94]

I just ordered one of these 44” spreaders. I am VERY excited as it is my first big step into upping my lawn game with a tool like this. I have a brand new house and horrible soil. I intend to use this spreader to put top dressing on all 20,000 square feet of yard to help the new grass have what it needs to start growing before winter.

[@smudge6831]

I’ve got tall fescue in our front yard, sissy grass out back, and couch on the berm. The tall fescue is the nicest. It tolerates our warmer weather and lack of rain over the warmer months. (We have in-ground irrigation) Watching all the way from nz

[@TheRoy107]

[@antoniolabayen8288]

Thank you very much for the tip on the Landzie spreader. That saves so much back-breaking work and time.

[@chakagillis]

I planted Black Beauty Ultra last year which is primarily tall fescue. It looks pretty dang good and this summer appeared to have more tolerance to the summer heat than what I had in there before. I just recently replanted another area with the same seed and its coming through strong.

[@skliros9235]

That roller is very slick. I agree about Kentucky bluegrass. It looks great until the summer time heat and drought hits.

[@jerrysasse3063]

For loading my peat moss spreader this what I do. I have a cheap plastic tarp that put down close to where I am working and will open 3 to 4 bags of peat moss on it and break it up on the tarp. I found just stomping on it works best and fastest. I then use a shovel and 5 gallon buckets. Goes super quick and the tarp makes clean up a breeze and keeps it out of the landscape.

[@RickJohanson]

That feeling is no joke. I have KBG in front, and converted my backyard to Tall Fescue on purpose. Good roots and durable. You'll love it back there!

[@griffeyfan0477]

So the best way I have found to load the peat moss spreader is to actually take the bags and cut them wide open and dump them in a wheel barrow or wagon and break them up really quick with a large screw driver. Open up the door on the spreader and dump it in, yes, you handle it twice but I found it to be very efficient. If you have a helper busting the bags and dumping them in the wagon you will be so much quicker.

[@gib859]

I’m SO EXCITED!!! I just spread TF in my back yard. Yessss!! Let’s do this!!

[@scottv.4140]

I just finished doing a renovation on my yard, after 10yards of soil and 100 pounds of TTTF over half an acre it will be interesting to compare results.

[@joshbaker1639]

I love my fescue lawn. You’ll love yours too, in a much different way than the low cut rye.

[@drlovety]

My first time planting fescue, first thing I noticed is the germination time is about 2wks slower than my ryegrass, but the biggest change is the way it's popped up. Seems like fescue comes up with two blades, or one blade with a second blade coming off of it. Rye is just one single blade. Anyway, can't wait. Welcome to the neapolitan of cool season grass homeowners

[@CADguru78]

I just had to reseed a big area that grubs destroyed this summer on my lawn, sprayed to kill them, I had the core aeration done last week. Finally got the seed down today. Used the KBG blend from Super Seed Store, used about 8 bags of Scott’s lawn soil to level out some low spots, seeded then covered with peat moss. Hoping the next 2 weeks stay warm enough here in Chicagoland.

[@billcunningham8485]

Ryan I saw the dogs in the video and now in the video you show us the dog potty area... I saved my lawn from dog pee spots... I added 150 SQFT of K9 turf to a a dog “run” off the service door of my garage. +95% of dog waste in my yard goes into the K9 turf not my living lawn. Sure I have a spot her or there from in the yard play time but I have restricted my two dogs access when still allowing them unleashed time. It is the best investment I made to my home in the two years I have owned it ($3,000 fully installed). No muddy paws in the Spring, easy clean up and with K9 turf and the Professional prep during install there is no smell. Rain “flushes” the turf and the dog run. If no rain I just hit it with the hose in the Summer.

[@3axap87]

My mouth hit the floor. Thats an insane story! Excited to see what's next

[@travismorgan9273]

So happy for you. Trick with fescue is water less and a strong fungicide program in the summer. Hope you didn't get it too thick with all that seed you put down.

[@Mikebike68]

Mistakes were made on my end too. I double pass core aerated and cut low beforehand like 2.5in but didn’t not have time to dethatch so the canopy wasn’t very opened up like last year especially on dead spots. Weaseled a those spots but they were still kind of thatchy. I was low on time. Planted sept 12th at the beginning of a 14 day drought. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I love my tall fescue. Can't wait to see how yours comes out.

[@codeman5507]

Hi Ryan, I made a big mistake too. In the middle of September, I decided to topsoil my front and back lawn. While I was detaching my back lawn, I have broken my Sun Joe dethatcher. Luckily, I just finished dethatching the back lawn, but I wouldn’t be able to dethatch the front lawn. In the back lawn, I topped off lightly with Scott’s topsoil, and everything is fine. However, I think I topped off little bit too much in the front lawn while I didn’t get a chance to dethatch, and the topsoil covered most of my old grass. I also did the reseeding on both front and back lawn. What will happen in my over topsoiled front lawn? I think most of the grass will die because I suffocated. Will the new grass grow back? Or I really messed up the front lawn.
