Yup, and orchard grass, and poa triv, and poa annua....the list goes on. We'll never get rid of it all, it's more about maintenance.

Certainly won't hurt. It's an added bonus to get the seed deep in there and rough up the top a bit. If you have the time, effort and money, I'd say go for it.

Totally, if you have arthritis and have to cut 1,000 fronds, this is the tool for you!

Yes, I tried it in the real world as well, similar results.

Thank you!!! Glad it helped!

Yeah, it's not on par yet with the larger, gas backpacks. But for a handheld battery, it's really, really great for those tasks that you don't want to lug them out.

@@TurfandStem The Ego dual battery backpack is supposed to be close.... still not as powerful, but more inline with a larger backpack

Thanks!!! Planning on some new stuff for next season!

Make sure to seed at the same time, Tenacity can harm new seedlings if not applied at the correct time!

Exactly! Good tool that does the job...just way too expensive for the average homeowner.

Have you ever tried the pinwheel trick of keeping birds away.

Dont know much about zoysia. It doesn't take a lot of moisture for fungus to pop up unfortunately.

My lawn is around 26,000. My property is around 2.5 acres.

You can, it certainly wont hurt, especially if you're seeding over dirt or bare ground. If it's on grass, the seed will work it's way down thanks to gravity.

I think you're probably 2-3 weeks ahead of us weather wise in the Northeast!

Thanks, I always try to avoid filler...always bothered me. I don't want to waste either of our time!

I'm in Western Massachusetts. I do around 10 minutes at 6 am and 4 pm, just because it's cooler and it doesn't need as much water. For 10 am and 1 pm I do closer to 15 since it's hotter/sunnier.

@@TurfandStem ok great thank you

Absolutely. grass will grow, I mean it grows in sidewalk cracks, in nature, etc. Something will grow even without watering, it's about getting the highest percentage of germination.

They're out there, Facebook Marketplace alerts is your friend in the search!

Yeah, your neighbors will look at you funny...but wait until they see the results!!! The neighbors will get used to it, I walk around my lawn talking to myself in a camera, they just roll their eyes now.

@@TurfandStem haha, that's funny. I can only imagine.

Thanks!!! Hope it helped!

I wish I could go that low! I stopped overseeding every year and now only do it every couple, so I can enjoy it in the fall!

No, I have an issue with one of the deck supports that got bent. Fixing it while I wait for the grass to grow.

I've heard of an old trick of using those shiny pinwheels that you can get at a toy store. They spin and frighten off the birds. Never tried it myself but it might be worth a shot.

Cover your seed so birds don't eat it. Dirt or peat moss unless you have a huge yard like the guy in the video.

Yup, JG is probably the best, widely available seed to homeowners.

Yes, it is. I'm buying my chiropractor a new boat and putting his kids through college because of it.

Yeah, that would be a lot of poa seed. The way they determine the % is by sampling a certain amount...unfortunately it's not 100% fool proof, and they only have to round the % to the hundredth. If you've ever seen a seed factory/producer, the equipment isn't sanitized between batches.

I lived that nightmare, I only use blue tag certified 0.00% weed seed now. Sure there are probably some occasional weeds in that too but I've never found a single weed pop up in a bare spot I've seeded with it, And I haven't used any kind of selective pre-emergent at seeding either. I use Cool Blue from GCI turf and Resilience 2 from twin city seed

It's always tough setting the mower so low knowing what will happen, or that first spray of glyphosate for a renovation!

Thank you! I hate overseeding and having to tear it up, but it's part of the process!

I 100% agree with you. Would you be able to help me convince my wife though?

@@TurfandStem try using whatever outlets she likes to use for her phone or other things to charge the batteries for that machine.and keep complaining about the batteries going bad and how much they cost. I assume you're using a rechargeable unit because I didn't see an extension cord being dragged around behind you.

Joe he’s obviously proven he can dethatch with the one he has so why does he need a gas-powered unit? Oh and I’m sure his lawn is nicer than yours lol

@@ChadSmith-qk2vn ........and you've obviously proven that you don't know too much😅😄🤣😁

Same bro. Same.

Yup, just thrown the sand after you've seeded. Each place has a different definition of "mason" sand, just make sure it's not the light, small, powdery sand that resembles flour. You want it to have some texture to it.

I just used the tines. I don't use the metal blade / scarifier ones that often. If I did, I would probably just end up renting a slit seeder anyways and do a much better job. The tines are fine for debris removal though.

@TurfandStem Thanks for the response. Do you have a cool season grass?

@@appliancehelp I do, TTTF and K B G.

I am! Western Massachusetts.

What type of grass are you going with?

Kentucky 31

Totally, and if you hit it just right at the end of the year, you can grab Walmart's fertilizer on clearance for under $5 a bag!!!

Crossing my fingers. It would be my luck that the first time I record my overseeding results, out of the dozen + times I've done it, this one will fail!

If you applied just the normal amount, you should be ok. "Reseeding, overseeding or sprigging of treated areas within 3 months after a single application of this product, or within 4 months after a sequential application program totaling more than 2 pints per acre (0.73 oz per 1000 sq ft), may inhibit the establishment of desirable turfgrasses." The more you put down, the longer it will last. Also, depending on your weather, if you have had a lot of rain or irrigated a lot, that will break it down quicker.

You’ll be fine, don’t worry.

Yes, that's probably a good option. I'm not anti-aeration, just have to be careful about it. Poa really sucks, until I get it a little more under control, the return on investment of aerating isn't there yet.

Thanks appreciate it. Hope it helped!

And the cost of an angle grinder if you don't have one already.

Awesome, have to agree with ya!

With overseeding comes a lot of watering, so fungus can be an issue. You might want to do a preventative app at the time of seeding. No need to remove the grass because of fungus, just get it down low, bag it before overseeding.

Which did you order?

Yup?
