As someone from the north, i never thought sprigging would come in that fast, man what a difference! Almost time to get that scalp done and some sand leveling done!

It was pretty awesome to see. I'll be doing a scalp here pretty soon. We're not quite out of the frost window here.

Amazing progress! I am so jealous of your minimal weed pressure you encountered during grow in. Can’t wait to see the progress this year!

It helps when the yard didnt have weeds to begin with and the neighbors dont either lol

Great progress. It’s amazing how quickly it fills in.

Getting ready to call a landscaper to grade and level my yard. I keep going back and forth between Royal TXD seed and Tahoma 31 sprigs. All the forums say that sprigging is easier. Looks awesome.

I live in Creve Coeur and my neighbors Bermuda grass got just about wiped-out last summer, so I went over there and seen that his lawn has Chinch bugs. If you see a lot of brown grass along the sidewalk that is where it will start because the bug like the heat from the sidewalk. If you have a Mail Man that's deliver mail on foot he or she can pick them up from another lawn and deposit them on to your lawn. Once in a while just cut the bottom of a can sticked down to the soil fill it with water and see what is floating. St Louis had a big break out of the bugs and my sister's lawn was one of them too .

@TheLawnGuardian I actually just got fiber up and running. They came out with a cable trencher and left a nice little scar across the whole front yard and half the side yard about three weeks ago. Luckily it's already greening up.

Your project has inspired me to undertake sprigging a similarly large area in my back yard. A few questions for you - how often were you fertilizing after the lawn was established (looked like about Week 7), and did you increase the Nitrogen 1000/sqft application rate? Great work, it's been fun tracking your progress.

@TheLawnGuardian

Ай бұрын

Once the lawn was established I backed off the fertilizer to about a half pound of N/1000sqft every 4 weeks.

Lawn looks good and came in fast. I’m in the same process. Where did you buy the sprigs from? I live around a few sod farms but they don’t advertise selling sprigs and I was going to just go to the farms and see if they would sell me the scraps from when they harvest the grass.

@TheLawnGuardian What are your thoughts on Tahoma 31 vs Iron Cutter? Thanks

Great update! Thanks for the information. Did you hold off on pre emergent until fall or spring of 2024?

I did a fall pre-emergent app in late summer/early fall of 2023 for winter weeds and I'm doing split apps this spring. Thank you for watching!

@@shane6002 I gotcha. Yeah this specific cultivar is grown up in Ohio on athletic fields as well as some other places up north. It's been tested in some pretty harsh winter conditions. According to my sources at MVPGenetics, it has 100% survival at -13° low & 350+ hours sub-freezing temps.

@lawnguardian Looking to do something similar. (I'm out in Ofallon, MO) About how much did the bushels run you? I'm looking to cover 3600 square feet. How many bushels would you recommend?

@TheLawnGuardian

8 күн бұрын

I paid $3 a bushel and the sod farmer recommended 200 for the 4500 sqft I was covering. I'm not sure what the recommendation would be for 3600sqft. Maybe around 150 - 160 bushels. Not 100% sure though.

I’m trying to completely redo my yard and because of it being on a slope seed isn’t a great option. Would peat moss with a tackifier or it by its self help with holding the soil and sprigs in place? I don’t really have the funds to sod 10k sq ft but sprigs seem do able.

You are correct. Most people around the STL area do not maintain bermuda properly. I maintained some common/wild bermuda at my old house in Valley Park, STL and I could also make that look good as well. Not as good as this IronCutter but still dang good for it being common bermuda. You don't necessarily have to mow as low as I am, it can still look good at 1.5" to 2" but it really shouldn't be maintained higher than 2".
