Man! I really enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and like your approach. Waiting for your 1 on 1

[@AAtta-3286]

Thanks Greg! Another really helpful video. I was especially surprised about the watering schedule you advised. Most videos are telling use to water 3 to four times a day. I have, unknowingly, followed your schedule of between 1 and 3pm and maybe a shot ,if temperatures have risen, in early morning. I do have one question concerning fertilizing. Like to know your view on the use of liquid fertilizer, especially when reseeding Many thanks again for informative videos. Anthony

[@GregPhillips.22]

I am a bit old skool when it comes to liquid fertilizers. I have not used them as much as I have liked. Many of the studies I have seen show you get best results in using both granular and liquid during the year. I say go for it just follow the label on rates on the product you use.

[@marsbeads]

Great stuff, thank you.

[@GregPhillips.22]

Thanks happy to help!

[@3SHOTS3QUESTIONS]

This is the only lawn care channel I follow now. Thank you

[@GregPhillips.22]

Thanks for the kind words. I am just happy to help folks.

[@JasonQuinn-cs2zg]

This channel has the best lawncare knowledge, advice and tutorials available- hands down. Thank you Greg.

[@GregPhillips.22]

I appreciate that. If i can help folks reach their goals for less time and money makes me happy!!

[@fomas8190]

great stuff

[@GregPhillips.22]

Appreciate it!

[@michaeljasper9473]

Great video! So to simplify, mow, dethatch with the blade til you see looser soil, seed it, roll it, cover with dethatched grass(mulch) and water?

[@GregPhillips.22]

That is it. Like to get more into watering but trying to keep video at a reasonable length. (At least tried). Need to keep seed moist from time of seeding until 7 days after germination.

[@Commander_D]

Great, informative video with lots of budget saving tips! Would love to see how the lawn is looking now. Also, do you have any tips on slow growth of new grass. I got quick germination, but certain areas seems stuck at 2 inches of growth while other areas have gotten up to 4 inches. Is it an issue with the soil (i.e., compaction, too much water) or is it that the grass is just concentrating on rooting more than top growth?

[@GregPhillips.22]

it is likely a compaction issue I actually made a video on how to fix those spaces that are not nor did not come up well. If you are seeing germination in those areas it is likely lower spots that are getting a little more water than the others. One thing you can do is take a pitchfork and push it into the ground and slightly lift the soil. Not enough to disturb the new seedlings but enough to disturb the soil and relieve the compaction. He is a follow up video I made on this technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoDWhqSQebyBp6csi=dwxROwOo7SAwi9rK

[@Commander_D]

@@GregPhillips.22 thanks Greg! I’ll try that.

[@mbentley8]

Great video as usual thx! Question: If you have a bunch of clumping fescue in spots - presumably from a contractors mix years ago - is it best to spot treat those (ie - glysophate and overseed) or just start all over? Thx

[@GregPhillips.22]

Yep..you can also use "the sponge method to apply the glyphosate to prevent drift into the desirable grass. See the video attached. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYCnhHltiqZ_q9Usi=KCrVQqnIg0AhQmxt

[@lefty5885]

@30:15 great advice. I did the starter fertilizer on the same day as overseed for my TTTF and started seeing some germination on day 6 after overseeding. Sounds like i wasted 6 days of the product?

[@GregPhillips.22]

actually you are not that bad. 6 days is not a big deal it is when you seed bluegrass that takes 21 days to germinate or run weather that delays germination (high heat, no rain etc) and the seed does not start popping until a 10 to 14 days after the fertilizer application. Particularly if you get a huge rain event that washed most of the water soluble nitrogen away. you should be good!

[@K3nny24]

Limelight’s look pretty good

[@vinsan672]

What can I do about a vole infestation due to the newly seeded lawn?

[@GregPhillips.22]

Likely it is due to grubs. The voles are after the grubs and so they are munching on them. Depending on your line of latitude it may not be that big of deal. Grubs will be overwintering soon. It's a nuisance more than a danger this time of year. Here is my grub control video if you want to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ3GXqt_aJaeeNEsi=1zzXaqicQvbJ7O7K

[@MrMannyboy329]

Is this information for cool season or warm season grass? I have centipede but have a problem with button weed, spurge and nutsedge.

[@GregPhillips.22]

Tenacity can be applied to centipede however, in centipede you have a better option. You will have to wait 14 day after application to seed Into your centipede but it will clean up your yard nicely. Celsius and Sledgehammer mixed together. Celsius takes care of the button weed, spurge and sledgehammer does an outstanding on both yellow and purple nutsedge. Unless you are south or Orlando Fl you may want to hold off on seeding centipede this late in the year. I am actually going to do a warm season seeding video in the spring.. Put the Celsius/Sedgehammer combo on your yard to clean it up for the fall. Then in the spring look at Tenacity and seed.

[@MrMannyboy329]

@@GregPhillips.22 do you recommend over seeding with ryegrass are centipede and can I over seed now or wait until early spring.

[@daviddsims]

I have an area on a hill by pool that is in poor shape and I want to smooth out and reseed. It’s warm season in Louisiana so I was going to do Rye but would it be a waste to mix Bermuda since it’s almost winter?

[@GregPhillips.22]

Wound be tough to put out Bermuda now. I went from ryegrass to Bermuda years ago and it's not a hard thing to do. If you have cover on it now so that it won't erode over the winter. Wait until mid late April and seed in Bermuda. I wound recommend Monaco Bermuda grass or Rivera .Monaco seems to be more available. You can actually get it on Amazon.

[@datadunce]

Greg, love your videos. They are best in brand. Just one thing, a bunch of your thumbnail images have typos in them. I think it will help the channel out if you fix those.

[@GregPhillips.22]

Thanks for the tip!
