Same thing happened to me after a 9,000 sq ft hydroseed except there were far more weeds. Handled it by bagging most mowings and then a heavy overseed with a slice seeder during the fall and good pre-emergents the next spring. It came in great.

[@pestandlawnginja]

[@d3showtime410]

[@lazylearner967]

Great Video Ginja! Keep up the great work. I thought for sure you were gonna recommend hitting the weeds with a mild-ish herbicide. Weeding a big patch like that via hand pulling is a tremendous chore! I am gonna break down and overseed/ re-seed some bare spots after labor day this year. I have a spot not recovering where my teenage driver constantly ran over the turf in the corner parkstrip last year while backing out of the driveway a year ago. Where would you recommend getting seed along the wasatch front? I prefer more of a Kentucky Blue dominant mix if possible. Thanks!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great question hunky! I prefer pure kentucky Bluegrass. IFA does sell some pure blends. It's expensive but worth it. No weed seeds in the mix. You may have to ask for the contractor blend with zero weed seeds.

[@dannynguyen76]

Ginja: When is a good time to overseed the grass (fall or spring) I have bermuda grass. Will pre-emergent (prodiamine) prevent the grass germinate?

[@pestandlawnginja]

pre emergents do prevent seeds from rooting during the germination process. I like to do dormant seeding because I'm lazy. I put the seed out over winter. If you want to do it now you can do it in the fall time. You just have to be diligent about watering properly

[@rapfreak7797]

[@petedetraglia4776]

Ninja, Your friend is going to be in the long haul for fixing that lawn. I bet about 3 years in the front. Pre emergent and post weed treatment with Tenacity and Quinclorac, PH balancing, nutrient balancing, and a whole bunch of reseeding after those weeds die off. I would get a N-EXT bio stimulant 4 pack and start with getting better soil nutrient balance while getting the PH in check to slow down those weeds this year. . Also that's a lot of dormant weed germination. WOW! Just picture how many new weed seeds already dropped this season. That front lawn might be one that may needs to be killed off completely and fully seeded again next spring with a real high quality pre- emergent...Good luck and great video....

[@pestandlawnginja]

Thanks Pete. Yes its a bit over whelming. I think we can get this taken care of by next season no problem. Once we decide to use herbicides it'll make the job much easier. I've been through this battle before and there is truth that the biennials are yet to come. Next 18 months will have weed issues. If we increase the calcium rates the weeds will go down.

[@baypos]

Nice video. After hydro seeding after how many weeks will you apply fertilizer (they say to apply starter fertilizer after 5 to 6 weeks). Do you mow and then apply the fertilizer or just apply it on the grass since again you’ll need to wait till 8 weeks to mow the lawn? By then the fertilizer would have anyway settled right?

[@pestandlawnginja]

After a hydroseed i commonly will use the growth products 8 0 9 starting 4 to 6 weeks out then hit it every 2 weeks for a few months. then I˜ll switch over to more nitrogen or add more nitrogen at about the 3 month mark.

I had hydro seed done in April in Michigan. It came in nice, but I have Nutsedge EVERYWHERE!!!! What should I do? Hand pulling nutsedge doesnt do anything from what I’ve read. Any other ideas?

[@pestandlawnginja]

It is true that pulling nutsedge can be counter productive. If you hydroseeded in april you should be okay to spot spray or blanket app with tenacity

[@brewhops6280]

I love your videos, keep up the good work. I run an organic lawn care and hydroseed business pretty close to you. Tenacity should be used pre hydroseed every time. It's also safe to use 6 weeks after hydroseed if you prep with a potassium silicate , humid filmic acid, and a liquid micro a few days before the spot spray. This will keep the newly sprouted grass from bleaching. I also refuse to hydroseed after early may, too many issues. It's too hot for optimal growth and the roots need to be deeper than a few inches for summer to be healthy and fill in. Mother nature will cover what you dont.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great feedback! That's quiet a lot of prep for a spot spray. Glad to hear its doable. I'll have to give it a try!

[@brewhops6280]

@@pestandlawnginja It's my usual summer stress treatment anyways so it goes in the rotation of most lawns. If I sell a hydroseed job that's part of doing it. Too many people sell crap products and half done jobs in this industry. I won't even hydroseed until I see the sprinkler system run and think it's adequate.

[@pestandlawnginja]

how well do you feel it works on spurge and black medic?

[@brewhops6280]

It will knock it back and bleach it out a little but it comes back. Drive xlr8 will destroy it but I am not a huge fan of using that. I try to use the least amount of pesticides as possible. Have you sprayed Oxalis with tenacity yet? Come back in a week and the whole thing turns a beautiful pink.

[@pestandlawnginja]

The last I called around hydroseeding ranged between $225 to $600 with minimum fees for an average 2500ft2 lawn. The theory is the rooting is better for the lawn and over all you'll have a healthier well established lawn. As opposed to sod where they cut off 50% or more of the roots and it comes to you in shock. My son was sneaking an offline game on google hahaha.

[@fredbach6039]

How do you keep a lawn from going into stress dormancy? There are several things you must do. You must water deep once a week. You need to have plenty of calcium to keep the roots tender and sucking up moisture. I don't know why, it just seems to work. To balance the calcium, since you do not want chlorosis (bleaching), you must have plenty of magnesium and iron. For high-ph (alkaline) soils you recommended gypsum. OK but be careful. Some soil chemistry tests might be in order. And you must shield the roots from the sun so you need to have about a half inch of fine loose lawn clippings down at the roots. In my experience this is best accomplished with a side discharge mower set for a very short clip, say no more than a half inch to come off the top, and go over the lawn a couple of times in different directions. The clipping dust will filter down lightly and come out a little shorter and drier on the second pass. And you should keep the lawn at a height between 3 and 4 inches depending on the variety. Lastly you should water daily or every second day at sunrise for 30 minutes. Oh yes - nice advice on slow release nitrogen. The last thing you want is a big blast of nitrogen on a dormant lawn. But a little continuous feed of it is really good. I wrote this before the end of your video. Ain't it amazing how we agree on things? !

[@pestandlawnginja]

You're awesome Fred. Sounds like you're starting to see the method to my madness. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments.

@@pestandlawnginja Thanks very much. I worked with my dad making lawns and had to use a push reel mower for years as a kid. I started on lawn work on my own as a teenager during one summer in Salem Oregon in 1964. My mom got me an 18-inch electric from Eaton's not long after that (back in Edminton) and I mowed lawns in the neighborhood just for the fun of it. Experimented with chemicals and fertilizers. Soil there is rich in most minerals, grows fabulous wheat and vegetables, but needs nitrogen. Only 2 places in Canada where you find black chernozim soil, the best there is. One is south of Regina on my dad's farm and the other runs thtough Edmonton straight east to the Saskatchewan border. Then in 1973 I moved out to the coastal rain forest around Vancouver. Pretty sandy natural soil with not much in the way of minerals. Sometimes you would find clay patches especially after construction. I screened my whole back yard and took out the construction garbage and rocks and added clay and compost. Made pretty nice grass (creeping red fescue and Kentucky Blue with some annual rye as a nurse crop) but it still needed minerals. The provincial government gave me a little help with that. I got the hang of mulching by fooling around for years with it and mostly hand raking it out twice a year with a fine toothed sawblade-shaped lawn rake. As a hobby I actually tore volunteer lawnmowers to pieces (collected them on recycling week) and I remanufactured them and used some and gave the rest away. I wound up with a lot of spare parts. I even did environmental tests by leaving them out in the rain to see how badly they might rust or other wise deteriorate. Testing my work. Neighbors must have thought I was nuts but a well made and well painted and well lubricated lawn mower can stand a lot of rain. Just keep the blade and the deck underside clean, lubricated and in good shape and the electrical parts dry. And save those wheel adjusters, motors and wheels!

Love hearing about your history. I was born there in Oregon, small world. Gotta love playing in the dirt.

What's a good way to remove crabgrass away from a yard filled with Bermuda grass? It's about 30 percent of the yard that is crabgrass. I live in Georgia btw.

[@pestandlawnginja]

couple of great options. Crabgrass Killer safe for Bermuda and cool season grass (needs MSO)- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KYVGH9V/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07KYVGH9V&linkCode=as2&tag=pestandlawngi-20&linkId=c3746e7eaabbfb63a7bcdb2aa0da76e4 Methylated Seed Oil for Crabgrass Control- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0149IA526/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0149IA526&linkCode=as2&tag=pestandlawngi-20&linkId=6800f3f3fb0a48cd6a583ce75e9ef4c1
