Thanks a lot. With a lot of shade your option would be St Augustine and the issue there it there are no seeded varieties for St. Augustine.

Sorry just saw your reply. Rye/KBG will give you a great looking yard. KBG is more susceptible to fungus so you will have to put together a good fungal program.
Thanks!! That close to the coast, one thing I wound add about St. Augustine. It is very salt tolerance is high if that is in issue in your yard that is something to keep in mind. I Vacationed in ocean city several times. Great area!!
It's good have used it before. Was going to mention it in the video. Barenbrug puts a coating on their seed. I have found it does not make as big of difference in germination as marketed. Not that it's bad, I have not seen that much difference in germination. Also, the amount of seed in the bag is less per pound because of the seed coating taking up room in the bag. I would rather have the more seed than the coating.
Greg, I love your topics and learn so much. I have common Bermuda here in central Oklahoma. I have three huge Elm trees. I never could get Bermuda to grow under them. Tall Fescue is the only thing I have had any success with under those trees. I just have to seed every Fall due to the heat stress. I noticed they have rizohm type fescue that spreads now. Have you ever tried any?
I have tried that one with mixed results. Think the only seed producer/vendor that offers it is barenbrug seed. They want to put the seed coat on it too which I am not all that crazy about either. Raptor III tall fescue scored highest in drought tolerance the south east. There were no trials in your neck of the woods. Quick check I have not found any Raptor III online. Daybreak from Twin City Seed out of Minnesota has it. It is a very high quality tall fescue. link is below. Can't say it would make it through a Texas summer but it is a excellent quality tall fescue. One thing you may consider is plugging St. Augustine in your shade areas and allowing it to spread. It is the most shade tolerant warm season grass. If there is a local sod farm that offers plugs could go that route and let is spread over time. www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjmuuCeipGIAxU1S38AHftEBlAYABABGgJvYQ&ae=2&co=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrKu2BhDkARIsAD7GBosdjn1y35q8JRjv8V9lkYbLPEwSpDHhbBtlDTgJrlYf7IX92vf9CSEaAgrNEALw_wcB&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESVeD2GUnbqIEUXnkbm9v9YJDd23PhK4eUfeDKBHmjkLe6rrBHChvmpjpNod2sFq5-ltwlI9SFyRhW9h97LHW6CulTPCDGIcjcnDBL3pg-75dZEHpM-LM&sig=AOD64_06RfK2GM7ZQz2AtjppGcFc2vJCaw&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjk0dyeipGIAxXsJNAFHfYtCi0Q0Qx6BAgHEAM&nis=2&dct=1&suid=20553900432
Very informative video and very reassuring. I bought Twin City Seed’s Resilience II TTTF in the Spring for my Fall overseeding project which has Daybreak, Xanadu, Valsetz, and 4th Millennium. All rated pretty high in the NTEP ratings for MD which is where I’m at. My only concern is that I ordered it early so the test date is 11/2023 with a 02/2025 sell date. Not 18 months, but could be fresher.
It should be fine. It is how it's stored is important. If it's somewhere it has been frozen or in a hot warehouse or high moisture you start loosing germination rate. Generally it will germinate but it does decrease over time.
I have not. Blackout is a brand name. I just focus on what varieties are in the bag. I am not familiar with that brand however does not mean it is a bad brand. It's the varieties and the age of the seed that is the main things.
Stick with Monaco …. It has a darker color. Yukon is only for northern areas and does not have the green color that most folks want. That is the one thing about Yukon that I would change or wish it had.
Can you estimate how much shade your back yard gets? Bermuda would be ideal but there is the shade issue. You could overseed zoysia in the front yard. I like a zoysia/bermuda because the leaf texture are much closer than Bermuda/St. Augustine. St. Augustine would handle the shade though.
Greg, I have all Bermuda(common) in my front and back lawn. Where am I? South eastern Washington. I’m green from Aprilish to Octoberish. May through September is prime. It’s HOT here. A near desert. But I want to overseed with rye in my backyard (as it has more shade it tends to come out of dormancy and go in to dormancy 2-3 weeks before my front. But you have me interested in Yukon now. If I don’t like how the rye is this fall, maybe I could try Yukon?
Could ..yukon has a finer leaf texture than common. The thing is , if you don't have at least 7 hrs of sun in your back yard Bermuda will not do well. I was hoping mine would creep more under my maple tree. No luck. It's why I am finally giving up and seeding high quality fescue under it this September. The Yukon would give you a finer leaf texture in your sunny yard. Could scalp the 💩out of your common in mid May, aerify then seed and drag your Yukon into your common. Keep it moist for 10 to 14 days then be aggressive with your nitrogen aps until mid July. Trick is if you are in a dry area is keeping the seed moist.
Fungicide question for you. You talked about use group 3 twice then group 1 once for a rotation. When do you use group 11? Is group 11 added to group 3 rotation? Thanks for all the information you provide. Current location is NW Florida.
Group 11 usually have the active ingredient azoxystrobin. It does not treat for dollar spot. The rotation between group 3 DMI fungicides like propicanazole and 1 Thiophanate-methyl is to treat dollar spot. The rotation between these two are for dollar spot control.
Tenacity is officially labeled to "suppress" Bermuda. I know it whitens it up..if it is stressed after application, dormancy, drought etc. may help thst along. There is also Fusilade II but it is pricy but will kill Bermuda both common and hybrid. Tenacity if you apply it in the fall prior to dormancy that will help if you want to go that route. In addition to price ..the label on fusillade II says not to apply to tall fescue during the summer. That scares me a little. The only use I am aware of Fusilade II is a superintendent friend of mine used to trim bunkers. He was happy with the results. At least that gives you a couple of options.
It is an option and if it works for you go for it. For winter overseeding it's personal preference. There are several herbicides that will take rye out of Bermuda. Celsius being one of them. It's good application in mid spring. Just to clean up anything that had germinated over winter/spring. Then hit it with summer pre emergent. Keeps ya clean mean and weed free until fall.
it does that on occasion. Have not figured it out yet but it does not show up until it is uploaded to RUclips. It is not on my computer, cell phone or my editing software so not sure why that is.
I just went to the NTEP website. Living in Minneapolis Minnesota. Looking for grass seed for full shade. After watching your video it sounds like Tall Fescue is the choice. So i went to the test results for North Central. Pages 27,28,29. Chart #8. Here are the locations tested. IA. Iowa IN. Indiana MI. Michigan NE. Nebraska ? ON. Ontario ? Being in Minneapolis. Which column should I chose? Thanks...
Hey just found your channel. Sorry if you covered it in another vehicle but why did you pick Bermuda for your front lawn vs Zoysia? I live in the transition zone in Kansas and have considered switching to bermuda or zoysia.
I was in NC and had managed Bermuda on golf courses there. Zoysia is a very good species but it creeps "fills in" very slowly. That makes it less forgiving than Bermuda. One thing I would prefer to be better with my Yukon Bermuda is color. Some of it may be tall fescue yards on either side of me but it is a little light in color. It's why I did the iron video. Was hoping just adding iron wound green me up but it didn't. Higher nitrogen just makes it grow faster and I am mowing 2X/ week. You can seed emerald zoysia and likely get decent cover on a new lawn but Bermuda will fill in a lot faster. If you are in the upper transition zone. Looking at Yukon or Rivera Bermuda. Unlikely sod farms in your area grow warm season grasses so you are stuck with seeding which ever direction you go. Will say this summer my Bermuda paid off. Had the best yard in the neighborhood without hardly doing a thing but mowing. Hand watered a couple of drought stress areas but that was it. Bermuda is a tank in heat and drought in the transition zone.
@@GregPhillips.22 Makes sense. Not sure why but the thought of Bermuda scares me because it just takes over everything. I'd be scared it would take over the entire neighborhood and piss all the neighbors off. Zoysia probably the same it just takes longer. I'm sure both are equally as tough to get rid of if you decide you don't want it. Here in the Topeka/KC area all of the golf courses have Zoysia fairways but I do know Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs) uses bermuda.
Hey Greg I have a question about a fungicide. I recently applied propocalizone for dollar spot. However there were some spots that had dichondra rust. It seems to have helped some with the dollar spot, but not so much for the rust. I sprayed it a week ago. 2 ounces per gallon is the rate I used. What do you recommend for a 2nd treatment? How long do I have to wait to reapply it? Also the type of grass is tall fescue
Propicanazole should give you 2 to three weeks of control at that rate. 3336 may be a good change. That will control the dollar spot and rust. Here is an Amazon link to it. Pd ad amzn.to/4dJJT3v
@@GregPhillips.22 I ordered the 3336F. Seems more expensive the prop 14.3. Hopefully it should work. I wonder if she over watered her lawn after I applied it. Maybe rinsed it toocfar down into the soil. She does over waters it to begin with on a daily basis. Thank you Greg I appreciate the videos, very helpful
@@GregPhillips.22Hey Greg 2 weeks after treating with propoicanazole the lawn looks 100x better. The rust fungus is still there but not as bad. Overall the lawn looks way healthier. I plan on fertilizing later in the week but glad to see results.
3336 is a different fungicide group propicanazole. It is more expensive. But you are pretty much insuring. You are not going to have dollar spot resistance in your yard using 3336 and Propiconazole in a rotation
It is basically like springing. You can take those put them in the soil surface. They need pushed in a little just to lock them into the soil a bit. If you look at that the sprigging machine it puts the sprigs down then runs over them with a disc. Kinda like a thick pizza cutter. Just to push them into the ground a little. On a small area take a flat shovel and push them down a little should be the same. Not hard enough to cut the stolon just enough to push it in the soil. Got to keep them moist for an about a week or two until they take root.
On the page it says 2018 but the data is updated for 2023. From the page: National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) 2018 National Tall Fescue Test 2023 Data Progress Report NTEP No. 24-8
That's tough. The only grass that will do will with that little sun in your area of the woods is St. Augustine. There are no seeded varieties available for it. Can possibly get plugs in the mail however, very likely there is a sod farm near you that you can either get good quality plugs or sod.
Yep. There are several mixtures of tall fescue and rye. In fact, that is what I am doing to the one I am overseeding. May want to put a little seed in the ryegrass just so it blends well.
Ya..the thing is I record my video and I don't know if it is going echo until it posted. Got to figure it out. I appreciate the feedback. It helps me know where elements of the presentation need to be improved.

Unlikely sod farms in your area grow warm season grasses so you are stuck with seeding which ever direction you go. Will say this summer my Bermuda paid off. Had the best yard in the neighborhood without hardly doing a thing but mowing. Hand watered a couple of drought stress areas but that was it. Bermuda is a tank in heat and drought in the transition zone.
@@GregPhillips.22 Makes sense. Not sure why but the thought of Bermuda scares me because it just takes over everything. I'd be scared it would take over the entire neighborhood and piss all the neighbors off. Zoysia probably the same it just takes longer. I'm sure both are equally as tough to get rid of if you decide you don't want it.
Here in the Topeka/KC area all of the golf courses have Zoysia fairways but I do know Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs) uses bermuda.
Hey Greg I have a question about a fungicide. I recently applied propocalizone for dollar spot. However there were some spots that had dichondra rust. It seems to have helped some with the dollar spot, but not so much for the rust. I sprayed it a week ago. 2 ounces per gallon is the rate I used. What do you recommend for a 2nd treatment? How long do I have to wait to reapply it?
Also the type of grass is tall fescue
Propicanazole should give you 2 to three weeks of control at that rate. 3336 may be a good change. That will control the dollar spot and rust. Here is an Amazon link to it. Pd ad amzn.to/4dJJT3v
@@GregPhillips.22 I ordered the 3336F. Seems more expensive the prop 14.3. Hopefully it should work. I wonder if she over watered her lawn after I applied it. Maybe rinsed it toocfar down into the soil. She does over waters it to begin with on a daily basis. Thank you Greg I appreciate the videos, very helpful
@@GregPhillips.22Hey Greg 2 weeks after treating with propoicanazole the lawn looks 100x better. The rust fungus is still there but not as bad. Overall the lawn looks way healthier. I plan on fertilizing later in the week but glad to see results.
3336 is a different fungicide group propicanazole. It is more expensive. But you are pretty much insuring. You are not going to have dollar spot resistance in your yard using 3336 and Propiconazole in a rotation
The best recommended
Are you asking about what grass species?
Hey Greg, What are your thoughts on transplanting stolon's?
It is basically like springing. You can take those put them in the soil surface. They need pushed in a little just to lock them into the soil a bit. If you look at that the sprigging machine it puts the sprigs down then runs over them with a disc. Kinda like a thick pizza cutter. Just to push them into the ground a little. On a small area take a flat shovel and push them down a little should be the same. Not hard enough to cut the stolon just enough to push it in the soil. Got to keep them moist for an about a week or two until they take root.
@@GregPhillips.22 Great . Thanks for the quick response. Enjoy the channel and looking forward to the next video.
I have emerald zoysia, what do you recommend to help a few spots? Thanks for your time.
You can seed those areas fairly easily. Up above I have pinned links to emerald zoysia seed you can get on amazon.
The NTEP rankings for Tall Fescue report date is 2018. If it was a 5 year study were they planted in 2013?
On the page it says 2018 but the data is updated for 2023.
From the page:

Would you have seed recomendation for sw Florida in a shot that gets exactly 2 hours of direct sun per day
That's tough. The only grass that will do will with that little sun in your area of the woods is St. Augustine. There are no seeded varieties available for it. Can possibly get plugs in the mail however, very likely there is a sod farm near you that you can either get good quality plugs or sod.
@@GregPhillips.22 Thank you much for your response. Truly appreciated!
can i over seed tttf with a rye grass to fill in bear spots ?
Yep. There are several mixtures of tall fescue and rye. In fact, that is what I am doing to the one I am overseeding. May want to put a little seed in the ryegrass just so it blends well.
@@GregPhillips.22Thanks for the wealth of information you have provided. Does Twin City seed have any of those TTTF and rye grass mixtures?
what has happened to the links for seeds?
Here is the one for bluegrass

They come in different lb bags so you can get what you need. Pd ad
At 12 mins the audio got echoey
Ya..the thing is I record my video and I don't know if it is going echo until it posted. Got to figure it out. I appreciate the feedback. It helps me know where elements of the presentation need to be improved.
