[@EverCreateStudio]

thank you for explaining black before dormancy because I had mine turn black this year and I was like must be about to turn brown for dormancy, but i didn know for sure. it definitely turned brown but I was thinking that it was because of some trinec weed killer i put down. i'm going to do a soil test just to make sure i know what is going on but i am pretty sure now that it is just dormant. i do not have irrigation so it makes sense. i almost made it through the whole summer with a green lawn and no irrigation. hopefully next year i can get it all year without irrigation. this was my first year repairing my lawn and all i did was use weed-b-gon with the acid you recommended. literally knocked out about 70% of everything. and I used the sustane 18-1-8 you suggested. i also did a fall blitz but in the spring. my grass was premium and my neighbors were jelly af dude. but i got a huge clover infest throughout about 40% of my lawn and so i bought the only thing by me which was the trinec. i am pretty sure if i didn't put that down my grass wouldn't have went dormant, but i'll never know. either way, i appreciate you and your hard work on lawnlife. I am in Badger, MN, so its cool you are in MN too. good news is the clover is all gone, but now i need to repair the grass. i will be waiting for the future forecasts to not say high 70's and i will begin the fall blitz but i am going to do the earthworks 8-2-2 while its still warm out. i think that'll do it. ofc i will put out the sprinkler for the applications but other than that i only rely on natural irrigation and time my nitrogen blitz right before rainfall. it works and works well. thank you again and i hope you get to read this, i know its a lot.

That looks incredible! My lawn has more issues than I thought. I may have to regrade the whole lawn. The builders put fill dirt in the yards. It’s full of rocks.

I can’t even start the renovation process because I’m scared to verticut in fear it will ruin the blades on the sunjoe.

Can you not even get a screwdriver a couple inches into the ground because of the rocks? Are they big rocks? Idk if you watched when I leveled my lawn but there were rocks everywhere in my dirt and it ended up being done for me. I was crazy worried about it. Haven't had a single issue.

Didn't consider foliar application. Do you think the results would differ?

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Honestly, now that you mentioned this I feel like I had some clogging issues. It wasn't anything major but it was leaking from the handle a little bit and I've never experienced that with my Petra before. I also had more left over with my walking speed. I used a 1 gallon carrier. As for the Rev 26. I never considered it. I didn't want another reel mower because I'd be dealing with the same issues as my current one.

Hey Jesse I can’t recall if you’ve had the PRG/KBG mix long enough to know, but if so, how well would you say it does with the Minnesota climate? Would like to know your opinion on how it holds up in our weather? I’ve been a KBG loyalist for the longest time…however, decided to overseed the backyard with the Blackout KGB/PRG mix in the Spring and can confirm that it is sooo dark. It is such a noticeable difference in color from the preexisting grass. I plan to overseed in the Fall too, in hopes that it will take over the rest of the back. Now I’m tempted to overseed the front lawn with Fireball and Hattrick but just wondering what I should be prepared for. Does PRG tend to have a slower or quicker green-up in the Spring ? How well does it do with factors such as heat stress, fungus or cooler temperatures? Been loving the vlogs. Appreciate all the great content. And thanks for any advice you can throw my way.

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Thanks for the comment. I haven't had any issues with my KBG/prg mix at all. I think if you overseeded the front it should behave pretty similarly to how backyard is performing except it should be darker. If I was you, I would overseed at a high rate to compete with the existing kbg. I did 10 lbs per K and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I think the KBG is starting to compete with it though so I'm going to overseed at the same rate with it this year as well.

[@Chararzard]

WOW, your lawn looks amazing. Really are dominating the neighborhood. Do you like your KBG or PR better? Probably a hard question to answer. Also the trees in your yard are beautiful but does having them take in most of the water make you want to remove them ever?

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Thank you! The trees in my side lawn drive me absolutely crazy. I hate them to be honest. I like the tree in the main yard. I've talked to my wife about taking them out and she doesn't agree with me lol. As far as what I like better, there's days I like the KBG/Rye mix and there's days I like the 100% KBG. I don't think it's a fair fight since the prg is mixed with KBG. I'm thinking about renovating the side lawn in putting in 100% rye. Maybe not this year but next.

Hey Jesse I have a question, Have you looked at the " limited" seed series from Twin City Seed? The product called NIGHTFALL?

I don't double cut actually. This mower is just on another level. For the straight lines, I've been mowing with a reel mower for the last few years and it's like cutting on ice.

I'm telling you right now if you go with blackout for a full renovation you will not be disappointed. I'm thinking about glyphoing my entire side lawn and putting down 100% blackout. It's that good man. I obviously have a bias, but now that I've seen it in person...it's definitely what I would do.

@@lawnlifevlogs awesome, I will keep the SnapBack in my backyard which is what I currently have and Reno the front with the blackout Rye! Hope it can handle the inconsistent shade sun. 👍🏼

[@lawnlifevlogs]

How about this. If it doesn't work out, I'll send you your money back for the seed. That's how confident I am.

[@dlandes14]

What height were you cutting at? Looks great!

[@lawnlifevlogs]

About 3/4.. it's about the perfect height for my lawn I feel like. Thanks for watching man. Haven't seen a comment from you in awhile! I might raise it to an inch with this heat coming

[@dlandes14]

@lawnlifevlogs I've been lurking lol. I really like this vlog channel. The main videos are super polished and everything but on this channel it just seems so much more relatable. Just another lawn dad working in the yard lol

[@lawnlifevlogs]

I feel the same man. I dread making videos for the main channel now. I'm stuck between huge views and just wanting to make content like this. That's why I made this channel. This is definitely more me and more fun

[@catherineagarcia7964]

What mower is being used thanks.

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Masport Rotarola. You can buy it at Seago International. If you call them and tell them Lawn Life sent you they'll give you a deal on shipping

[@catherineagarcia7964]

❤ Nice thank you!

[@truthtalker4038]

You are so worried about what your lawn looks like, but you don't care what your bushes look like...

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Man you're not lying. These bushes have been neglected all year. The wife just trimmed them up tonight. Stay tuned to the next video. Looks so much better but we need to come up with a new plan

[@davidb2147]

Good to hear your wife finally trimmed her bush 🤪

[@truthtalker4038]

You are nuts

[@harryharry3193]

[@lawnlifevlogs]

I've only used it once since I bought the Rotarola. Went right back to the Rotarola after using it!

[@lawnlifevlogs]

The old unit went out on us. It was old!

[@harryharry3193]

[@lawnlifevlogs]

We actually replaced that last year. Went on the fritz earlier this summer. We've had issues with it every summer, it was just time to replace it.
