I'm about to order the Elite Perenial Rye(X3). My question is how does it hold up to larger Zero turn mowers? Killed off my grass 5 days ago. Just watered and in process of doing another killing. I'm in S.E.Michigan. just ordered 15 yards of screened top soil for leveling purposed. Also am installing a Orbit 12 head irrigation system. Grass will be fine on its own, I worry about the mower. I need a larger mower cause I cut for a few of the elderly and sick in my neighborhood

Completely new to this channel and grass in general: We are finishing up developing our property and I am trying to figure out what would be the best option for grass. A couple notes: - There is already existing grass covering most of the property (no idea what it is - it was a hay field. Is there seed that we can lay down that will take over what is there? - We have a big dog who loves to run around and play fetch. Especially when the ground is wet, he can tare up a yard pretty significantly. Is there a recommendation for a hearty, strong rooted grass that might be a bit more resistant to this, or recover quickly? - For the most part we have no shade. - We are located up in Northern VT. - We have a high water table (about 3') and in the spring it can be pretty spongey. - I am not looking for anything fancy (stripe mowing, etc.) I just want something that will look nice, feel nice, and is lower maintenance. - My wife has some chemical sensitivities (and of course we have the dog) so I don't want to have to use weed killing products. Hopefully my ignorance isn't making this post too dumb (it might sound like I want a miracle solution), but I just want to know what would work best for us. Thanks!

I'd recommend black beauty ultra if you're in the Cool season zone. Has a great mix. Or with what grass you currently have set mower to 4 and water twice a week if no rain. A taller lawn that's watered well will put up with quite a bit of abuse. Oh also what's causing damage mainly is compaction. So if just keeping it taller and watered isn't enough or if you want to do more use a chemical lawn airation to combat the compaction. My kids and I enjoy the yard and I've had no problems using this method. I feel what's the point of having a nice yard but not being able to actually be on it. Hope this helped.

Ryan, you freaking consistently ROCK! Exactly what's been going through my mind lately. Trying to resurrect my patchwork of lawn and weeds thanks to previous owner. Slow improvements through various methods that you have covered. (weed kill and soil testing, etc) Now my issue is the patchwork. Various patches of various seed from rye, fescue, fine fescue and even KBG. KBG is very tough thick carpets although just little 6' dia spots with one 100 sq ft spot on 2 acres of generally full sun. (Sorry for long winded.) Can I just over-seed the crap out of my lawn in the fall and spring with tall fescue and fine fescue in the shadier areas? My colors variance is abhorrent! (Upstate NY) I keep it at 2.75 up to 3.5 in the hot summer. Just want nice even color.

Penn State Blend is Perennial Rye, Red Fescue and Kentucky Blue grass mixture. Why these 3 ? They are very similar in blade size and also in color.

Likely the best blend for zone 6 and lower zones. Great Video Sir !

Great Video Ryan. One of the interesting things you said that is so true is that Perennial Rye is the darkest type of grass out there. That is a major paradigm shift for people that think only a midnight type monostand is going to be as dark as you can get. I have tried it side by side next to compact type midnight KBGs like Bluebank, Award, Mazama, Midnight etc, and the Rye was not only darker but also more “blueish”. With that being said not just any old ryegrass is going to be that dark. But the newer high rated ones in the NTEP like Pangea, Slugger, Grand Slam, Amazing A+, Steller, and Prominent have phenomenal color. I still believe overall KBG is the superior grass type due to its disease resistance, texture, and year after year resiliency. But if you can keep you rye disease free and mow it low, it can give you a breath taking lawn.

We did hydroseed about 4 weeks ago here in eastern Long Island New York. I know, not the best timing but weeds kept taking over a freshly tilled soil so we had to give it a shot. We’re going through a drought where it’s rained maybe once or twice since the hydroseed is down with very hot, humid weather. Grass was coming up nice until we hit the first hot humid week of weather and things changed quickly. We kept the irrigation on 4x a day for 10-15 mins a zone and it wasn’t long before we had brown patch everywhere that’s growing. Put down a headway-g treatment about two weeks ago. Will the patches recover or is reseeding the only way to fill them in ? Wondering how I’d know if the fungus is now under control. The seed is a tall fescue blend with Kentucky blue overseed. We also have huge weeds sprouting all over the place and know we can’t do a weed killer on a new lawn. Appreciate any information you can provide on how we can last through august until the heat starts to settle down.

Ryan, I’ve been a Utah/Idaho shade mix (perennial rye, fescue, and Kentucky blue grass), because my main lawn faces north but in the summer it gets a lot of sun. I HATE the seed stalk on it! I also have the dirtiest secondary water. I also am in northern utah. It gets fungus but one to two doses of Fertilome F-Stop works well because of snow mold. But, because the water comes from nasty sources, I get fungus so I use Strobe G or Pillar G one or two doses during the season. Because I’m in a drought area we are commonly restricted in water days and water time. Ok, I seeded last fall, some took but not as well as I thought. It’s June now and I don’t think I can seed, right? What do you recommend? How much is your seed? Can I apply in the hot season in areas that need reseeding like a golf course does when a person creates a divot? What would be the Peat-Sand-Seed mix ratios be? My soil is clay. I water 4 day cycle, cycle-soak using programs, 20 min each cycle, 90 min dwell between cycles, three times (60 min total). Please give me your recommendations.

Just remember that it will still be predominantly Kbg and will likely stay that way since it's a very dominant grass

I used a cool-season seed mix last year, so there are only patches of KBG currently. But you’re right-they have definitely expanded!

Very comprehensive. Looking forward to more content like this as you continue to trial more things in your test plots.

Do you have a video for the higher temp zones, i.e. Texas?

The timing on your videos is impeccable. As others have said -- this is very nicely timed with fall renovations coming up. Thanks Ryan. Keep them coming! Maybe a "what to do before winter" video at some point too? I always wondered if I should do anything before winter

I live in the DC area and have a Tall Fescue lawn. I do like Fescue, but if I lived in a cooler climate I would go with Kentucky Bluegrass. I like the thinner blades and the propensity to have that dark green color

What do you think about fescue that spreads with rhizomes? RTF also How would you handle a really good french drain? I have a 6" wide stripe for 15ft in my backyard because I put in a French drain. I allowed 6" of soil on top but it wasn't enough. I need to add something to the top to retain moisture and I'm thinking Pete Moss but I don't even know if it's going to be successful. I think it might not be. I should've left about eight or 8 1/2 inches of soil on top

I live in East Tennessee and curious on what you would recommend. I'm looking at doing a full renovation this fall on my front lawn.

funny story, i didn't know there were so many different types of grass. We bought grass seed 2 different times and now our yard has 3 different types of grass growing and it's noticeable. lol a little patchy but fully covered in grass 😅
