Hey Kyle, great video! We recently just finished a project in my front yard and this was helpful. I wish I had found it a little sooner. What are your thoughts on mowing after 3 or 4 weeks of growth? I’ve never had lawn that is so full before so this is all a little new to me!

I suppose it’s the length that matters - you don’t want it to be so long it’s flopping over on itself!

Looks great! Would you recommend collecting the clippings, or is it OK to leave them on the new lawn?

You, my good sir, are a boss. 👊🏻
How often do you mow once your seed is sprouted? Also, do you apply any fungicides? Thanks! I’m 3 weeks in my renovation!
@TheLawnMentor

The frequency of mowing is highly debated. Some people say you can’t mow it enough, others say let it grow to 5” before you get on it. Unless you’re mowing short, I’d say let it get 1” above your desired HOC and then you can maybe start weekly mowing. I have never applied fungicides to any of my renovation or overseeding projects. Congrats on being so close! It’s an exciting time!

Figured the reel mower would catch your eye 👁 😉
I know this video is old but hope you can answer this question. I'm at the exact point as you were in this video. I'm about to mow the same way. But question for you, do does dark patchy areas fill in after a while? Or you had to throw seed to fill them. I'm deciding if I should or not. Examples in 4:13

Without a picture, I can’t tell for sure but I’d generally recommend waiting to put more seed down. Keep mowing and let your fall fert push the lawn along.
