    You have come such a long way from making DIY lawn strippers out of PVC. Thanks for letting us come along on this journey! I’ve learned so much from this channel, and I don’t know where else I would get information like this. Love it!

    That was impressive. By that, I mean the lady representative. I initially thought, 'here we go, another company rep giving the few facts they knew for a process or product. I was certainly wrong. I don't know grass but I can tell this lady did! She can't just be some PR rep for the company. She did a tremendous explaining their processes and ultimately their product.

    Hey Ryan I owe it all to you man! I went with Turf Merchants 4th Millennium Turf Type Tall Fescue and it is amazing! I planted it last September north of Seattle and I have the best lawn in the neighborhood and it's not even a year old. I'm a subscriber and a customer I love the leveling rake.

    Love this nerdy stuff! My wife is asking why I'm watching a video about a grass farm. I told her this is where we'll spend our next anniversary. She said only if they have bottomless daiquiris. Ryan, can you confirm about the daiquiris?

    • @ryanknorrlawncare
      @ryanknorrlawncare  3 года назад +1

      There is definitely a reason the best of the best costs more money, as it should when you see the years of testing and research it takes to select those cultivars.

    Very interesting! When I got back into lawn care after moving to a new home, I came across Ryan’s channel about a year ago, and I’ve been hooked since. My garage is full of chemicals, bio stimulants and other fertilizers that I never knew existed a year ago. My neighbors think I’m crazy when I’m spraying chems on the lawn with my backpack sprayer, but I don’t care, I love it. I even tested my soil for the first time this past year. I couldn’t have imagined it, but I really really enjoy taking care of my lawn and learning about turf grass. Thanks Ryan, love the channel and I’ve learned so so much from you, a million thanks! Good luck to you and your wife with the land you purchased as well, I’ll be around watching the journey ahead!

    So, is the NTEPS separate from a breeder altogether? I understand the breeder does their testing. The NTEP would then take their seed and evaluate it afterwards?

    I noticed that Pennington has TWCA qaulified grass seed. Does that mean the blend in the bag is all qualified or just a particular cultivar within the bag? My yard is roughly 60% RG. Picked it because I don't care about "blue" grass and the price of KGB is silly.

  • @travisburch4342

    I need to give you kudos!!! I put out new seeding tall fescue on my boulevard. It's has clearly out performed the store bought fescue in what's been an amazingly hot summer in MT. 106 105 degrees and next to the street so imagine how hot that is!!!! The grass on the edge has a few burn spots but compared to the other grass brands that haven't had the street heat stress it has clearly held up to the heat w superiority!!! Your tall fescue wss expensive esp for new lawn but there is no doubt that it is surperior to box store tall fescue bud.

ALSO random- Just walked by a random neighborhood house and saw blue dye on a low cut lawn.... asked the guy outside randomly what his lawn plan was and if he was killing the yard. He told me he was and he would be "reel mowing", then I asked what youtubers he watches and he said "Ryan Knorr"..... then he proceeded to tell me about his reel mowing future and I instantly thought about sissy grass for some reason. Random but true! I made sure to tell him I am excited to see the results. He also said he watches another guy, of which I said "the mullet" guy? and he replied "yes". So much for lookie loos.
