Awesome! I'll be following for sure. You have the same cultivators that I have for my fall Reno and overseed. Eager to see how it turns out for you.

Any topsoil or peat?

 

@Scagfreedom48z+ Last year I brought in over 60 yards of topsoil for most of my yard. This area is small about 1500sf but last year I added 3 inches or so to this area. I added a little more in some uneven spots after I killed the old lawn and dethatched this year. I did use a thin layer of peat over the top of the seed.
I picked these cultivars for their good shade preformance and disease resistance.

60 yards?! That's a Mountain! Did you spread it yourself?

Seems like you're starting to get some germination. Any tenacity or starter fert yet?

 

Yeah I have a JD 1025R with a front loader. I used 40 of it on my 11k kbg reno I did last fall. That was a rollercoaster ride Lol.

 

I'm sure it was. Long stressful wait. What did you decide on for mix ratio? 80/20? Lbs per 1M?

I'm planning on using an ecospreader to spread some topsoil and the peat.

I'm curious to see how the KBG will do on an overseed. I'm leaning towards an 80/20 for the partial Reno and overseed

 

I used 2.5 pounds of kbg and about 12 pounds of tttf.

 

So, I'm not the only one killing areas and planning to reseed this Spring...but you killed the whole lawn! Lol.

I was just looking at this and thinking the same thing. Except, I haven't gotten to the glyphosate, yet. My Tenacity lit up the annua and triv, so I need to get to the triv soon. I've been following this thread, and will continue. This is really starting to get interesting.

 

Will be following along. :thumbsup:

 

Im watching also . good luck and no washouts.

 

Well my first thing went wrong lol...I turned my irrigation on from inside the box in the ground I noticed I have a leak. It's still under warranty which is good but they have to dig up the box to fix the connection. Of course this in in my reno area. Would have been nice if they noticed it when they opened it before I seeded. Anyway they will be here next week to fix it. I guess I will have to reseed that area when they are done.

 

I think GTO is about as close as you get to a replacement for the now discontinued Bullseye.

Expect to overseed in August or Sept.

Are you expect to overseed because of a spring reno and possible stress to the new grass over the summer? This is what I'm curious to see what happens... last year this area looked good all summer and fall and I renoed it last spring really late like the beginning of June.

Yes. 90% chance of us both needing an overseed in late Summer on at least some of the areas we're redoing now.

 

How's everything going with all the rain we are getting? Any washout?

No washout so far.....its pretty flat, plus having the old turf there really helps hold things in place

 

Update we have germination at 8 days...

 

Nothing like grass seed germination.

 

Fantastic. Looking forward to your progress

 

Another quick update been warm here the last 3 days with yesterday and today humid as well. Grass is starting to fill in quite a bit with overall even coverage...The areas that get more sun are a little further along
Today is day 11

 

Looking good!

 

Looking great, how is the weed pressure so far?

Too be honest I have zero weeds right now...I did use starter with Mesotrione in it tho.

 

Day 15 update. So far so good pretty consistent germination so far. A few areas are a little slower than others.
