    Quick question: I have seed that is ready to spread (pre germinated) the sprouts have started and I should lay it today however we have a cold almost freezing 24 hours where I am and it’ll shoot back up to mid 60’s tomorrow… can I mix the seed with milorganite 24 hrs in advance (today) and spread it tomorrow? Or should I continue the water process and hope it isn’t too sprouted by tomorrow.

    Great work man! I've been there before with a very similar situation. Had a giant river running from 3rd base side all the way through softball field between home and pitchers plate all the way out to first base. It was a lot of pulling stuff away and trying to get the sun to dry out as much as quickly as possible. Adding mix in. Level. Compact. Nail drag. Nail drag and a lot more nail dragging and leveling but in the end it was playable. Good stuff

    I pre-germinated some Kentucky blue grass this year as well. Aside from being an absolute pain in the ass to dry out and spread, I was impressed with the germination. I planted it alongside some turf-type tall fescue and perennial rye and shockingly it all came up in about 7 days. I share your consensus that it didn't really feel worth it in the end based on how tough it was to spread. Used carbon Pro g ( compost/biochar product) as a carrier and it was very tough to get it to spread evenly. After laying it down, I ended up doing another pass with some regular dry seed instead to make sure my coverage was even. Looking to next year, I have a mix of Rye grass and KBG in the back yard and I am really considering just considering overseeding with Rye. Love the KBG 's ability to spread especially living in MN but the long germination time is a killer and being able to do a quick spot overseed with a dog, rye grass just beats it. Might try some Barenberg HGT bluegrass or Regenerating Perennial ryegrass to get some aggressive spreading, with better germination times

  • @CoachTooz
    @CoachTooz9 ай бұрын
