Had a good amount of nutsedge and crabgrass come up in last month. In my front yard. So I am gonna spray tenacity. And early October I will aerate and thatch and overseed. My backyard I haven’t done anything too cause my dog and kids have taken over. And I basically have like 70% crabgrass. So basically I am gonna do the same steps in back. Just it’s gonna take a couple seasons to get it back. Tons of rain here last few weeks. Hurricane and Ida dumped like a foot of rain.

[@richardgarcia99]

Need advice. On Sept 2 Landscaper company did Core Aeration and Overseeding with Turf Tall Fescue over established lawn and to fill in some Brown spots where there was no grass due to Strong August Sun. I live in Connecticut near NY State line. I bought an oscillating sprinkler and a timer and set schedule to water 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and eveing) for 15 min. Today is Sept 14 - its been 12 days and I can see germination as occurred. I assume most of the seed has germinated since it was 85% Turf Tall Fescue. My established lawn needs to be mowed due to all the watering but by Brown -bald spots have only few seeds germinated and even when grass is fully grown, I don't think it will fully cover the bald spot area. So my question is do I wait until the new seed grows to point where I can mow the lawn (which it needs) and then re-seed the bald spots with seed and start the process again, 3x/day water, or do I seed the brown spots now with new seed (to try and get fuller coverage) knowing that my established lawn will have grown alot and wait till new seed grows in to mow (by that time established lawn will be in desperate need of a mow)?

I lam from Montreal Quebec, Canada. I am new to landscaping I.e seeding a bare lawn. I did seed my bare lawn(completely new lawn) in mid august and it turned out quiet good. I haven’t used any starter fertilizer when seeding the lawn. It’s been around 5 weeks from the day I seeded the lawn. Also, I did mow the grass yesterday. My question is should I apply starter fertilizer now and skip fall fertilizer or should I just apply fall fertilizer or should I skip both starter fertilizer and fall fertilizer for this year? If I have to apply fall fertilizer, what ratio is good? Can you please advise? Thanks,

[@markbielawski]

Thanks for these videos, Ryan. Lot's of great info! In my case here in NJ, I'm a bit confused about what I need to be doing right now. It's been a rough summer, and my lawn seeded last year took a beating. It was really nice in the spring, but now I need to spray for crabgrass and other invasives and overseed, too. This week will still be hot, but I'm guessing it will start to cool off soon after. What should I do first? Should I spray now and hold off with the overseeding? How long should I wait? And what about fertilizing? I'm always worried about the order of things and timing it with the weather. Thanks.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

If you crabgrass is really mature by this point it might be tough to get a handle on it. You can certainly try spraying it but just know it might not be 100% effective on fully mature stuff. I would probably go after tenacity/quinclorac at the time of overseeding or start on quinclorac now and get the overseeding done in the next couple of weeks. Starter fertilizer also at the time of seeding or a few days after is what works best for me. You might be interested in my renovation and full season guides for some more in depth info. Thanks for watching!

[@jonathanscott4776]

I’m in Massachusetts and sprayed Tenacity two weeks ago. It helped, but didn’t eliminate my weeds. My plan is to core aerate, overseed, top dress with peat moss and apply starter fertilizer the week of September 14. Good luck with your plan!

Best option would be to use something like tenacity and quinclorac and still be able to seed. Both of those are ok at the time of seeding. The other option would be to just focus on weeds for now and building the turf that you do have and not do any seeding this fall.

[@sabingratz]

Hey Ryan! Heavy fertilizing in the fall makes total sense, the only that I have come across by doing this is snow mold. I live in the northeast and have had trouble with snow mold several times which was directly related to my fall fertilizing. I know that using a fungicide is an option, but for me at least, I have already used the recommended doses for the calendar year to fight off mid-summer brown patch. Anyway, any strategies you might have to explore would likely be useful to some folks like me and possibly good content for a video. Thanks again for the great advice!

[@thomaspaquette9991]

Not sure how tall, or which height you usually keep your lawn but stepping down that mowing height as the temperatures decrease can help avoid snow mold. I live in Minnesota and had problems years ago with snow mold and found the shortest I could get my lawn before the snow fell the better off my lawn was. Always use quick release fertilizers especially later into the fall season.

[@sabingratz]

@@thomaspaquette9991 Thanks Thomas, I actually keep my grass at .5 inch for most of the season, and definitely put it to bed in the fall at that height. Good tip on quick release though, thanks.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

With that height it really will need some sort of fungicide to be completely clean by spring. You can likely find another class of fungicide that you haven't used yet on your lawn that will not factor into that max that you used with your other products.

[@sabingratz]

@@ryanknorrlawncare Perfect, will look for other classes and do that. Thanks! p.s- I think I solely make up the entirety of your Vermont viewership demographic.

What becomes of your spoon feeding program in the fall? Do you continue every 2 to 3 weeks with GrowORR or do you pause that program with a granular fertilizer with higher nitrogen?

At 4 pounds per thousand that's .5 pounds of nitrogen per app so 3 of those this year should be about right for the Fescue.

Can you do a vid on the dreaded clumping fescue (KY31). It’s all over here in Central Illinois. Guessing it was in the sod as well as the pasture/bean field that was before a subdivision. It sucks. It’s ugly. It’s hard to deal with. What’s the play here?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Well unfortunately nothing will get rid of it since it's a grass type and not a weed so it needs to be sprayed out and re-seeded

[@rosieotis]

@@ryanknorrlawncare It took me a while to figure it out. As a novice, I wish someone would have taught me that lesson years ago. Keep up the great show! 😉💡

Any way to get that Cool Season Lawn Guide in printed form?... just makes things easier for learning purposes than trying to go through it all on a computer or phone.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

It's a pdf ebook so you can certainly print it on a home printer if you would like

Ahhh fall time the best time of year! Is there anything similar to that 13-0-13 in the big box stores?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Yes it is! I don't know of anything similar to these specific ingredients

Why are you using that Scott's spreader when you have a Brinly?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

The brinley has a tougher time spreading low amounts and sometimes I'm after small doses
