Last year was my first year taking care of a yard. I didn’t know about this barrier so I put down pre emergent then raked the yard to over-seed. All my grass seed came in fine but so did all the crabgrass and unwanted weeds! Ha been watching every video I can find and this explained the whole problem I had last year.
Pete, I was hoping my Wildcats would get to meet up with your Tar Heels last week, but I guess it didn't work out that way for either of us this year. I just received my 4-pack N-ext bio-stim package and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out this season. Keep up the great work as always, I don't know how you do it all (You Tube, GCI Turf, family...etc), but I know you have your priorities in order and I really appreciate how you don't hide your faith! Go Wildcats!
All about timing. Here in MO we just now have a safe green light first week of April. Too many below freezing days in March. No leaves on trees yet which means no shade and max sunlight these next few weeks
Hope your trip goes well. Kinda refreshing with your view point on spring seeding. That rain last season killed us so still playing catch up myself. Front yard is looking mint, can't wait to have the backyard on the same level. Keep up the great videos Pete!
I actually just laid down some fescue today waiting on the rain to roll in here in Middle Tennessee. Hoping it takes off like wild fire. Growing grass after building a house is always a chore.
Thanks Pete, I've got a few spots I am working on too, I have a small yard in Roanoke, Va. Temps will be good this week to seed those spots, plus they are under a tree where I did not put Pre-em anyway.
There’s nothing wrong with my lawn right now and it’s almost entirely weed free but for some reason I wanna kill it all off and reseed it with your seed. I wanna be like you when I grow up Pete haha
i was planning to just run tenacity or tupersan instead. and run it as a last step AFTER aeration > seed + fert > biostim THEN tenacity or tupersan. and hope for the best.
Outstanding video. I’m up north and the winter did some damage. I’m definitely going to overseed this spring. My lawn doesn’t have a weed problem but it does have a poa annua problem. I’m gonna do pre emergent this fall to combat that. But I want to get the good turf as thick as possible. Thanks Pete! And thanks for the hat you sent me last year. I wear it all the time!
Informative as usual Pete, you definitely are an individual with his own methods through trial and error. Thanks for sharing Pete. 😁👍👍Striperman knows a good rain dance, the step on the cacti in the garden dance, he assures me it works.😁
Awesome garden @1:55 I cant wait to see those peppers come July. Good theory on breaking up the barrier, you can always add a little soil as well. And thanks for supporting the Police Departments!
I tell you what, Pete! The town snow plow tore up the front edge of my lawn the last storm we had. So I’m forced into renovating that part of my lawn. I’ll put prodiamine on the rest of the lawn and use tenacity on the renovation area. Fingers crossed.
Pete, we live in middle TN and just moved into a new house. The yard has recently been harley raked and ready for seeding. Even though knowing it’s risky seeding in the spring I had no choice. I ordered 12 50lbs bag of your seed with hopes of it doing well. Could you please give me a little guidance on giving the grass it’s best possible chance at surviving the summer? Thanks in advance! Love the videos
Hey Pete. I live up here on Maryland. Just want to let you know that you misspoke when you mentioned the shirt you are wearing. It’s Prince George’s County. Other than that, GREAT JOB. Love learning from you. Thanks.
Hey Pete, In a previous video I believe you mentioned not to aerate in the spring, until after the 5th mow. ? My plug aerator arrived too late in 2018, but I was able to slit seed. My tall fescue lawn is looking thin and I don't see much new growth from the fall seeding. I have not yet put down pre emergent, ground is just about 45 deg. Would you suggest that I wait until fall to aerate? Skip the pre emergent?
Thanks for the video. Need a quick seeding tip. I'm in the transition zone but a little further north than you are. Temps have been good so now worries there. Rain is coming and I want to over seed. I mowed today. Slit seeder or aerator? That is my question for you Pete.
If the seed does come up do you really think it will like the side effects of a 2nd preemergent application? All those plugs you pulled out were full of root carbohydrates that your grass now doesn't have to use this summer. Best wishes to your son on his up coming medical needs!!!!
Thanks for all your help! What are your thoughts on overseeding Bermuda to thicken up a weak lawn? My concern is not knowing the exact seed to use as the HOA sodded our yard for us, and I don’t want it to be mis-matching. Hoping I can get it to thicken up throughout the year with some good consistent feeding and care!
Hey Pete..... hope you and your family are doing well! Could you recommend some kind spot spray weed killer that won't hurt my lawn? I have mostly fescue..... thank you sir
Pete great video. I put down crabgrass pre emergent “dimension” and now want to dethatch. Put down the dimension on the 6th of April. How long to wait to dethatch and aerate? I will not be reseeding but worried about breaking that barrier you mentioned.
Pete. What’s your take on aeration and applying pre emergent at the same time? Another words. Aerate first then put down your pre emergent right after?
I have got a bunch of moss in the shaddy spots of my yard this year. I am guessing from all the rain we had down here. Do you have anything coming up to fix that or something you can point me to.
I'm considering getting one of those generic versions of your weasel over at Tractor Supply. I have some big bear spots where my Bermuda once lived. The closest Bermuda is too far away to run over there in good time. And the soil is pretty compacted, but it's only a small area. I was going to rough it up, throw some Bermuda seed down that I got on clearance last fall, and throw some good top dressing on top of that. Thoughts?
Pre emergents should break down in about 6 weeks and I would only seed if it is a very shady area other than spot seeding areas. Love your vids keep up the hard work and good quality videos!!😁👍
Good video, Pete. So many conflicting ideas on spring seeding, but this makes a lot of sense. Subscribed. Questions though - I need to get my hands on a garage door threshold like you've got on your shed. Did you build that unit or have it delivered? Thanks in advance.
Curious on how it's going to turn out! keep us posted. I'll be aerating in a few weeks before I seed. Put down Atrazine and another pre emergent almost 2 months ago.
The problem with your theory is yield. You may have seed wash into the plug holes and bypass that barrier, but the seed that is laying on top of the dirt will be exposed to the pre-emergent. Now the garden weasel will work, but the large areas, I believe, your yield will be lower.
I live in New York City my lawn is 20 ft by 25 ft. And I here I come across your video where your lawn looks like it should have its own ZIP code. I wouldn't know what to do with the big lawn like that.
Here in Iowa I've been told that the ground should be at least 70 degrees before seeding the lawn forgotten to tell you hope your sons surgery goes well
What about Tupersan. I haven’t heard anyone in the community talk about it. Jonathan Green makes a tupersan preM and they claim you can seed with it. I’ve got it down on my yard here in West North Carolina. Let’s see what happens. I had to seed some areas.
I have some spots im wanting to seed. I sprayed post emergent already to fight some chick weed. How long should I wait to seed some bear spots after applying post?
I have KBG here in NY. Just had an irrigation system installed the other day. Should I throw some seed on the areas that have a little damage or just let it be and see if it fills in with normal fert and watering?
OK, Pete, I have some questions about what you said you did or were going to do with your/your neighbor's yard. First, you said that you put your pre-emergent down in mid-February. I'm assuming that you meant you were using Prodiamine. It's my understanding that Prodiamine should be applied when soil temps are 50-55°. Are you saying that the soil temps in NC were in that temperature range in mid-February? Also, it is my understanding that Prodiamine only has a specified effective duration so, again based on soil temps, you don't want to put it down earlier than it needs to be applied so as to give you as long as possible protection in the warmer months. Second, if you did put down the Prodiamine (or first app of a pre-emergent) in mid-February and it is now early April, then that is 6 weeks and a good timing for any spring seeding if you are going to do that in the spring. That would mean that it willl be another 6 weeks (mid-May) for your application of a post-emergent (Dithiophyr?) which would be good timing for a continued crabgrass preventative. And third, I have often heard that spring is not a good time for trying to seed because by the time warmer weather comes that the grass roots have not gotten well established and the plant is likely to die. Springtime is the time to try to control the weeds and feed what grass you have and to leave the seeding until the fall when temps are cooler. Do you agree, Pete?
I am a little confused. You aerated the entire lawn it to "break up" the pre-emergent layer. Why did you put down the pre-emergent then? What did you mean about the "pockets for the seed to come up"?
From my understanding, he put down pre-emergent to catch as much of the crab grass germinating as possible in the early spring. Now that most the crab grass is out of the way and the pre-emergent barrier is losing efficacy, he's going back and seeding. Basically, he hedged his bets on preventing weeds while still attempting to seed.
To be honest ...not too bad...slight color change but not growth yet...doing the 2nd app this weekend..I was in Philly last week for my sons surgery so i couldn't get it done then
AW you grow peppers too man. I love growing peppers. I have about 15 seed flats started inside right now of all kinds of stuff I live in perry hall btw. didn't realize you were in Maryland
TN... What seed can I plant that is lower maintenance? I put down fescue and I guess if it doesn't fill in itself.... then that kind of sucks. Know a good brand or mix?
I have always had the yard everyone stops to look at so you can understand how suddenly having a dandelion problem has set me back. I have sprayed, rolled, knifed them out. It’s like a bad magic trick gone wrong they come back twice as bad. What must I do to finally rid these things from my yard?? I’m not having any other weed problem.
Pete... circling back around on this video from last year. Thoughts on spring plugging? Should or should we not? Was considering spring aeration right before my second split app of PreM
I did not have much success with this method last year. Granted, I was using "store bought seed", since GCI branded seed was not available...but my results were marginal (in some spots, no growth at all). Need to patch some spots in the back (I've got dogs), so I decided to forego pre-emergent altogether back there. I've got a spot or two to fill in out front (which has pre-em down)...so I guess we'll see what happens!
I overseeded 3 50lb bags on my 30000 sq ft front lawn and 2 bags on my 20000 sq ft back yard last fall. I bought a 25lb bag about a month ago to reseed some of the spots that the deer tore up over the winter and my neighbors leaves smothered about 1 week ago. My plan is to use the Scott's starter fertilizer with weed control, same active ingredient as tenacity. I'm hoping that the baby gci's will come up over the next month in the bare spots allowing me about 4-6 additional time before I have to put down barricade for the rest of the season. Pete do you think this will work?

Barefoot is the only way to go to get the rain dance effect.😎
Pete needs the rain, we’ll let him do it, wouldn’t phase the big guy. 😁
Why BEFORE I even press play, do I get so excited to watch this that I say “hey there it’s Pete GCI turf” to myself out loud?!!?
I appreciate you friend
I don't know, but I hope you're having a good day

If I have to breake the prodiamine barrier to seed a bare spot can I use some Tenacity to help with any possible weeds or crabgrass
Hey Pete, In a previous video I believe you mentioned not to aerate in the spring, until after the 5th mow.

Hoping I can get it to thicken up throughout the year with some good consistent feeding and care!
If you have an existing bermuda lawn just feed it...no seed needed
How come you didn't use the aera-vator on the ventrac? I love how that thing preps the soil verse a plugger.
He didn’t want to damage existing turf. Using the aeravator would be too aggressive in this case.
Makes sense. I wasn't sure how aggressive it was. I just love seeing that Ventrac at work. Thank you for answering my question.
Hey Pete..... hope you and your family are doing well! Could you recommend some kind spot spray weed killer that won't hurt my lawn? I have mostly fescue..... thank you sir

So how do you deal with the crabgrass that does germinate and come in? Also what about goose grass? I have some of that, that came in this spring
Good video, Pete. So many conflicting ideas on spring seeding, but this makes a lot of sense. Subscribed. Questions though - I need to get my hands on a garage door threshold like you've got on your shed. Did you build that unit or have it delivered?
Thanks in advance.
You can also put down a pre emergent for newly seeded lawns that will let the grass seed germinate. I need to get me a weasel! 👍🏻
Curious on how it's going to turn out! keep us posted. I'll be aerating in a few weeks before I seed. Put down Atrazine and another pre emergent almost 2 months ago.
I usefully add a scoop of dirt to area I want to seed after pre emergent. My .02

Lol. It’s a lot of turf for sure friend
Could a slice seeder (or overseeder) machine be used for large areas instead of the core aerator?
i would say you could for sure
You preach common since. Thank you Pete!
Nice video sir. Love the Stingers, I have the 24" and it's amazing.
Thanks Pete I know I was pestering you about this but you just helped me more than you know.
Here in Iowa I've been told that the ground should be at least 70 degrees before seeding the lawn forgotten to tell you hope your sons surgery goes well
close to it is good
"Spring Seeding PETE!!!" playing a dangerous game Pete, a really dangerous game lol, love the videos my man
Calvin Nivens it worked out great. Came in nice and thick with zero crabgrass 😎
What about Tupersan. I haven’t heard anyone in the community talk about it. Jonathan Green makes a tupersan preM and they claim you can seed with it. I’ve got it down on my yard here in West North Carolina. Let’s see what happens. I had to seed some areas.
I have personally never used that AI
I thought tenacity had the same active ingredient.
It does, it is just granular.
I have some spots im wanting to seed. I sprayed post emergent already to fight some chick weed. How long should I wait to seed some bear spots after applying post?
First make sure the bears aren’t around before you seed their spots. Once you’re sure they’re not around then you can seed any *bare spots.
What’s the name of that machine you using to aerate your lawn? If you don’t mind me asking
I went heavily on pre emergent, but my yard has gone wild with dandelions, no stems yet but huge leaf beds and root systems... any suggestions
From a distance the neighbors grass has a cool look because of the pattern the bare spots create.
so, what happens to all that seed that falls down in those plug holes ? how does it come up level with the rest of the yard ?
I have KBG here in NY. Just had an irrigation system installed the other day. Should I throw some seed on the areas that have a little damage or just let it be and see if it fills in with normal fert and watering?
Would it be a good idea to seed this week?
What do you think about doing a renovation in the spring?
Pete, I'd love to see you keep a section of your yard for reel mowing. Any chance of that happening?
yep! My KBG and the the bermuda at the shop...it's coming
@@GCITurf good stuff!
Pete, what kind of hose are you using? Not a fan of the zero g.
Bring on the results of those bare spots. Cant wait. Praying that's your sons surgery goes well brother.
I filmed this the week before we left...we back now..everything went GREAT...Glory to the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS!!!
GCI Turf Services so glad to hear all went well.
Hey Pete, would you ever use Milo or NEXT products for your garden??
No sir Only this www.gciturfacademy.com/garden-fertilizer/
OK, Pete, I have some questions about what you said you did or were going to do with your/your neighbor's yard.
First, you said that you put your pre-emergent down in mid-February. I'm assuming that you meant you were using Prodiamine. It's my understanding that Prodiamine should be applied when soil temps are 50-55°. Are you saying that the soil temps in NC were in that temperature range in mid-February? Also, it is my understanding that Prodiamine only has a specified effective duration so, again based on soil temps, you don't want to put it down earlier than it needs to be applied so as to give you as long as possible protection in the warmer months.

Springtime is the time to try to control the weeds and feed what grass you have and to leave the seeding until the fall when temps are cooler. Do you agree, Pete?
Tenacity will allow seeding while preventing crabgrass. It's in Scott's starter fertilizer with weed control.
That 2nd round of pre-emergent... is that going to be with tenacity?
nope prodiamine...AFTER I have mowed the new grass a couple of times
I'm debating.
Pete's GCI FESCUE - 119.99 50LBS
Kentucky 31 FESCUE- 99.99 50LBS
Pete, maybe a dumb question, but what about mowing? How long will you wait to mow after touching up the bare areas. My TTTF is woke!
As long as i can possibly wait
I am a little confused. You aerated the entire lawn it to "break up" the pre-emergent layer. Why did you put down the pre-emergent then? What did you mean about the "pockets for the seed to come up"?
From my understanding, he put down pre-emergent to catch as much of the crab grass germinating as possible in the early spring. Now that most the crab grass is out of the way and the pre-emergent barrier is losing efficacy, he's going back and seeding. Basically, he hedged his bets on preventing weeds while still attempting to seed.
Pete I bought your seed, excited to see the results!
@Chris F...me too, best of luck to you. I’m in Greensboro like Pete and the past fall was rough. Hoping this spring will yield better results. 🙏🙏🙏
Chris F I did mine in the fall and it came in great! Right now she’s waking up but I’m very excited to see what it brings this season!
How is that yard doing that you sprayed the super juice on?
To be honest ...not too bad...slight color change but not growth yet...doing the 2nd app this weekend..I was in Philly last week for my sons surgery so i couldn't get it done then
Can u over seed your lawn in the spring in Maryland I have all ready in the fall
Dumb question,,, can you take aeration "plugs" and move them to bare spots so they start growing there? does this work??
Do you have any suggestions for a broadleaf pre emergent? I just bought some prodiamine and rookie mistake didn’t realize it doesn’t cover broadleafs.
Good stuff Pete! That stinger is a nice piece of equipment!
You're probably correct but I believe that you have mold damage and specially in that great big field because that's what it looks like to me.
AW you grow peppers too man. I love growing peppers. I have about 15 seed flats started inside right now of all kinds of stuff I live in perry hall btw. didn't realize you were in Maryland
TN... What seed can I plant that is lower maintenance? I put down fescue and I guess if it doesn't fill in itself.... then that kind of sucks. Know a good brand or mix?
Where you are located, yes. Up in the Midwest, no. Hard to predict weather timing and not enough time to become hardy in the summer. Fall much better!

Crabgrass BEGINS germinating at around 55°F, but can and does germinate at higher temps.
sure it does...

Yes
I need some of those seeds Pete!!! I live in Greensboro. Where can I pick them up at? skip the shipping
What would it cost to have an acre of lawn areated.
Hey Pete! Will your seed grow in dense shade?
No sir needs a minimum of 6 hours full sun
GCI Turf Services Thanks for the reply! If you ever did sell dense shade grass seed I would love to buy some! Keep up the great work!
@@grant8846 there is no such thing, regardless of the marketing on the bag. Trim your trees, create or expand beds and over-seed spring AND fall.

My seed just floated away in today’s downpour.
Pete, what are your thoughts on using Tenacity instead of Prodiamine and then seeding?
you can but I am not a big fan of tenacity unless it is used on bare ground
@@GCITurf ok, thank you
I have seeds germinating form GCI but I used Tenacity
Thats cool
I overseeded 3 50lb bags on my 30000 sq ft front lawn and 2 bags on my 20000 sq ft back yard last fall. I bought a 25lb bag about a month ago to reseed some of the spots that the deer tore up over the winter and my neighbors leaves smothered about 1 week ago. My plan is to use the Scott's starter fertilizer with weed control, same active ingredient as tenacity. I'm hoping that the baby gci's will come up over the next month in the bare spots allowing me about 4-6 additional time before I have to put down barricade for the rest of the season.
