You have TWO different PRG blends, which does best in Pacific Northwest, Zone 1?

When I first get started with trying to get the lawn of my new property into proper shape, the biggest attraction and pro of the ryegrass is its quick germination and ease of establishment. As a newbie to lawn care, I found other grass type a little intimidating, requiring many more days of continuous watering; a task made more complicated by not having in-ground sprinkler system. With the quick germination and establishment, it ryegrass gives beginners like myself the confidence and encouragement necessary to keep on working on the lawn as we can see the result quickly.

Oh, seeing your videos starting to appear is a good thing. A really good thing!

DSM,Iowa resident jumping in the comments...long time watcher, first time commenter. Thanks for the info Ryan!! Well done!😎

I live in southeastern Pa. Pretty much same latitude as you and my ryegrass does well when cut long and mowed often. Love the stuff!

Just in time I'm killing off and doing my whole front yard from scratch about to order ur elite perennial rye iam excited

You're my "lawn guy" as far as youtube goes. I'm in zone 7A and am waiting to put down my ryegrass seed in my back yard garden. I know I know, spring isn't the best time, but it's a new house, and it's full of chickweed and nettles with almost no grass so I have to till all that up and take a chance on the grass seed. It's been so warm here this winter I'm itching to do it now as we are due for another week of temperatures I'm the 50's. I enjoy your videos and am looking forward to trying your seed shortly as I will need more than I currently have.

Overseeded with your ryegrass last year, couldn't be happier. Will be buying more soon.

How long did it take to germinate

I am Virginia Beach and planted your perennial rye grass in mid November. Yes, that was way too late but I wanted to give it a try. There was a couple of frosts during the first week the seed was down and I was afraid nothing would come up. But I was thrilled when I came back in town from thanksgiving vacation and saw a haze of green on my entire front yard. Definitely, a little bit slower to germinate with temps much colder in late November but I had full coverage and even got to mow it before Christmas. Can't wait for it to take off this spring so I can get my reel mower on it. thanks for all your wonderful videos and products.

Thanks Ryan!

I like PRG but I'm definitely learning towards the new cultivars of TTTF.

Looking forward to sowing my Fescue BG blend in a couple of weeks

I am going to use PRG to fill in bare spots this spring as it gets hot quickly here going from spring to summer. Hopefully that helps.

Hey Ryan, we over seeded our football field(hybrid bermuda) last fall with Perennial ryegrass. Turned out great. Most say kill off the rye but I’m wondering if maybe instead keep the rye, mow it really low, keep it watered of course and see if the bermuda does well with it. Then overseed in the fall. I know the foot traffic will tear up the rye part some but do you feel like if we spoon feed it, keep it low & watered it can withstand Tennessee summer weather?

I always wondered why, at the end of summer, what the brown stalks were, now I know!

RK! Excellent break down. Is your Elite grass regenerating?

Added some to my Fescue and Blue

It is great looking

I love your videos and your advice! Thank you so much

How’s it going Ryan …. I used your Elite Ryegrass in the fall and it is the darkest green color grass I’ve seen. Really happy with it so far. The big test will be this summer when temperatures reach 100-110 in Fresno Ca.

Can you teach us a little about silica? What products do you have with that in it?

So what wld you recommend for MN with sprinkler system and a zero turn as a mower. Almost all 2.5 acres is sun. We have sandy soil with some areas we brought in black dirt many years ago?

How well does this grass hold up to wet soil and high traffic? My lawn is very low laying so when it gets wet the soil stays wet for awhile (no puddles but poor drainage and very close to the water table level) I also have 2 dogs and 2 kids that love to play in the backyard so would this holdup well to that?

Man, I bet all the little leaguers want to take infield practice in your yard 😭😭

I put your Perennial Rye Grass mixed with Petes Blue heat KBG. I usually mow at 3" once a week. Do you think I will see issues with Stems and going to seed?.

Will they’re be any future fungicide pro tips vids coming our way this 2023 season?

How low would you mow with a rotary mower/zero turn to avoid those stems/stalls and seeds?

What grass can I over seed on my zoysia lawn for a green winter grass. Auburn, AL. No shade, irrigation system, reel mower at 1/2 inch.

thank you

Does perennial rye grass typically develop a lot of stalks / thick stems in the month of May?

Thank You for the video, what state are you in?.

I had some Ryegrass mixed in parts of my yard here in Denver, Colorado and a lot of it didnt survive the winter. Winter here was very cold from November onwards and long stretches of dry weather. It didnt seem hardy enough for the full sun zones. The Turf Type Tall Fescue was money though. It did great. KBG does great but it really cant survive the dry and hot summers here if watering is not heavy and with perfect coverage. I have not seen KBG spread well here at all. If even a small 4' section dies off the healthy grass next to it does not creep over. Nothing. Maybe its the drier air and the high elevation.

Get video and can't wait to see you lawn videos!! this year with your new property.I just did a full Reno last fall with your TTTF. I was wondering if it would be a good idea this year to overseed with your TTTF/bluegrass blend or should I just use bluegrass seed? Thanks again

Great videos Ryan. I followed your lawn renovation and so far so good…I think. I’m also using your Perennial Ryegrass blend. One question will the lawn fill in more, maybe after I start mowing? I’m about 3 weeks past germination. I know this is a bunch type grass.

Yes it gets thicker over time for sure but if it's thin you can lightly overseed some of the thinnest spots

Looks very good. I love the stripes. I live in Northern Kentucky. We have summers that range from eighty and ninety degrees fahrenheit. My front lawn is in direct sunlight most of the day. I am thinking of doing a full lawn renovation. Down to the dirt. I want to put in grass that will be soft to walk on and be awesome for stripes. I also want to have a thick lawn that will choke out weeds and pesty grasses like Crab grass and saw grass. If I have to over seed every year so be it and water it once a day that is fine. I appreciate any help, advise and suggestions. Maybe a video idea. Would be awesome my friend. Keep up the great work. Your lawn is absolutely beautiful. And the striper system that I saw on one of your videos works great on my Honda hrn 216 mower. Thank you for that as well.

I would go with Turf Type Tall Fescue no question. Water heavily once a week if there is no rain and you are good. It grows from seem easily and pretty quickly. If you do your part you will get 90-95% survival through the first winter if you seed in the fall with good weather throughout. You might need to overseed the next season to have thick coverage edge to edge. Weeds wont stand a chance if you use pre-emergent and spot kill broadleaf weeds with 24d in spring as they pop up. It will get thick and green.

Have u ever tried or tested Barenburg RPR?

Sissy grass is king 🤴!

Fungus has definitely been the biggest struggle I have had with the PRG. Both in summer and winter. Do you have a video that reviews your disease prevention regimen? Thanks!

Thanks! I'm sticking with tall fescue because I have a lot of shade, need some heat and drought tolerance and don't like mowing my grass short. I'm getting ready for spring here in the Chicago area. When do I need to get a pre emergent down and what can I do if I need to do some spot seeding?

Ryan, I have been asked to put in 5k sf new lawn where a 5 foot high thicket of weeds, poison ivy, and vines stood on Nantucket Island, Mass.

I use a perennial rye grass seeds for new ground that has no grass. If you lay out this see it will grow and keep your dirt from eroding. It's easy to maintain and grows easily it's not the best seed but if you have no irrigation and need to lay in grass , this is the seed that you can use.

Rye has too many stalks for my taste. I don’t have thing set up to go low, so I keep my lawn at a medium height. Rye throws up the stalks, which just look ugly.

I love RPR. The color is really cool, but it is lighter. This will be its third year in full intense Colorado sun, and it actually went fully dormant this winter. I'm excited to see how much this helps plus I'm going to let it wake up on it's own this year without pushing Nitrogen. I'm so excited!
