I love how educational this video is! I’m going to use the 25% of the information that I currently understand, but will save this video for reference if I need to learn more. Thank you!

Good stuff Brian. This is the kind of stuff that pulled me into your channel originally 👍.

What do you think about using peat AND straw blanket?

Always enjoy your Videos, very in-depth and informative. Although we may have different techniques we get similar results. Keep up the good work! #lawnseason

For starting a new lawn on just soil (exsisting front yard is weed and dirt) could i use a tiller to stsrt off the prep?

Love the details, thanks Brian. Your next door neighbor is going to be jealous!

I have an area similar in size and it’s covered in weeds. Should I apply weed killer to kill all the weeds and then dig it all up, and plant new grass? This is my first attempt at improving my lawn and the Spectracide weed killer says you can seed until 10 weeks after use. Should I just dig up the weeds and plant? What weed killer do you initially use so you can then plant new grass?

This is just what I needed. I bought Buffalo grass last year and I bet this is just the thing to get it started. Annual rye is really smart. Thanks

So you placed their rye grass as a temporary lawn until next season for planing warm season grass? Is this for HOA reasons why you needed grass in 10n days?

Trying to get a soil test delayed my whole lawn-care process significantly. I had to go buy the kit from my local college that didn’t have hours that fit into my work schedule. Then I had to wait for the ground to thaw enough to get a bunch of sample spots. Then I had dry and to clean out the soil from contaminants like thatch and stones. Then I had to mail it out. I’m hoping it is worth spending that time and money on. Just waiting on my results now.

🎉 Thanks!🎉

Did you tamp before or after the peat moss?

What type of grass seed would be a good one.

Whats with the goofy border running down the property line

Two questions: 1) Will the alfalfa meal have any benefits for new cool season sod and/ or vegetable plants? 2) when everyone refers to soil temperature how far down am I looking for that magic number for seed germination? My top inch of soil is fluctuating based on day part but further down it's still cool

I am just starting this same process again on a 55'X20' area, my "sports court"...I actually did it before on the same area two years ago, but then I had just removed a huge sick pine tree(needle drop) that was right in the center of it; so I needed to let the ground resettle, now I'm refilling where the stump and roots where and moving more dirt from the higher end to the lower end to get it as flat and level as possible the annual rye grass surprisingly looked very nice when mowed, much better than I thought it would; but then I just let it go to see what it would do un-mowed at its tallest naturally - and it got to be around 18" before I weed-wacked it down to rebuild organic material in the soil ... this time it just has to last thru the summer to get some root structure in the soil and hold sand in place as I do final smoothing and leveling to the surface, so I'll be keeping it mowed pretty short(or at whatever height it performs best, depending on weather conditions) the first batch lasted about 18months actually, started early summer after the tree was fell(and thats when it was kept trimmed), but somehow much of it did come back the next spring(but maybe I tossed leftover seed down in the fall?) but then wasn't as full as it was before; and I did some leveling/filling where the ground sank as what was left of the tree decomposed or I was able to remove roots, but I could tell that I'd have to do more work before I could get my 'forever grass' in that fall(so I did more dirt moving then, and didn't seed, so that I could do more now this spring) I could tell last year it did a lot to improve soil health, by just having something growing in it to feed glucose to the microbes, for "living soil" - compared to now when from last year the dirt was left 'dead', but now I'm able to get the level where I want it and restart the process to get life back ....even if I kill it off at the end of summer(and don't disturb the soil) it will leave the root structure underground to simply have grown in organic maternal(vs top dressing), help with compaction and water penetration/retention, and provide those pathways for new roots to follow in down deep annual rye is often overlooked, but it is a very affordable way to reform dirt into good soil

Looks good Brian, what grass are going to so there eventually? I'm just south of Sydney Australia just sowed rye grass and it's really growing well coming into autumn/fall

What did you guys do about hungry birds?

Awesome
