I overseed it in the fall and I was about 3 weeks late at that and living in North Alabama most people here have cool or warm weather brass where I have cool on how to 3 white fish cube red Kentucky 31 and tall and thin At any rate I kind of like the idea of Ariel again and and possibly a date thatch and then maybe oversee a little bit more as got way colder here than usually does and I thought it killed it all but it didn't but where does my pre emergent come in I was thinking mid February I was gonna put down my pre emerging as well
So I dethatched my lawn this week... I fear I did it too early. I don't want to throw down seed because, altho I thought the temps were right before I dethatched, I now realize any new seed would just rot. Any advice on how to have productive spring now that I've beat up my lawn? I'm in pnw
A good time is always when the grass is in vigorous growth mode, my guess is you may not be going dormant but you are probably in slow growth mode, id hold off until sun starts coming back in mid winter at least and only then if your grass is growing strong enough to repair itself from the stress of dethatching efficiently.
@@TurfMechanic my grass has gone dormant as the weeds have died leaking an unsightly views..we're NE Florida had our first frost already and predicted one tonight..
This might be a little off subject but is core aeration better than de-thatching? Or are we talking about two different procedures for a different outcome.
Two totally different procedures - most people will benefit from core or liquid aeration (or both) but only some people will benefit from dethatching, thatch is really only a problem usually with only certain grass types. Aeration benefits the soil structure however which can benefit all grass types.
TTTF doesn't usually get much thatch buildup if any at all so I would say you probably won't ever have to dethatch. The only possible reason to do so in your lawn is if you have very compacted and very acidic soil (anything under 5.7 ph) where microbial activity is at a minimum AND your TTTF is mixed in with a spreading grass type like a KBG or Creeping Fine Fescue. TTTF can benefit from mid-spring or early fall aeration as well as Autumn over-seeding if you want to plan ahead. Where do you live Grace? It's got to be nice to see green outside through the winter!
Hey Jeff, a few years back a contractor put in a sod. I asked him what is was a few months after he installed it and he said it was a KBG/Perennial Rye mix. I suspect there's a bit of fine fescue in it though because there's some really small grass blades that sit under the main carpet. In my upper hill yard it's just field grass that's been cut. I'm considering killing it all off this year and planting a TTTF but that may not happen because my kids and animals are always outside so I may just over seed patches of it and work the space over time.

Wilson looks like a real gentleman. Thanks for your videos.
He is an amazing dog; 140lbs of gentle love - the kids love him too! Thanks for sticking with me and my videos over the winter Mike!
Here i am watching this 3 years later, contemplating this with 32° soil temps
Me too UK South West, day temps 10c night 2C wondering if it will germinate! Red fescue + parenial rye grass

I’m in NY March 9, so I better to wait in April to do detaching? Because next month the grass might grown up.
I'm thinking about getting a dethatcher this spring, which one do you recommend?
We don't have snow in Florida yet when's a good time to thatch the lawn?

Personally I think they go hand-in-hand
My tttf has pretty much stayed green. Just has gotten pale green. I dont have to do any dethatchin in the spring right?

@@TurfMechanic Im in Virginia. I did aerate and over seeded in the fall. I just didn't know if I needed to do it in the spring.
What kinda grass do you have anyway?
