Seeding can be a pain. Watch as I show you how I failed in the fall seeding my lawn and dominated in the spring. I planted three species of grass in my lawn. Barenbrug RPR, Barenbrugs newest cross product of RPR and CSI, as well as Ryan Knorr Elite Turfgrass.

Last fall I decided to kill 2/3rds of my lawn out to test out three varieties of grass. After killing out my lawn I started seeding October 15 2023 . my lawn and soon ran into some weather issues. I planted october 15th and by October 30th we had several hard freezes. To my surprise 40% of the barenbrug rpr/csi survived and 65% of the ryan knorr turf elite grass survived. The harsh winter temperatures kept the ground temps below 40 degrees from October 25 all the way through April 15th.

April 25th I re planted my grass. I started by dethatching my lawn, scarifying it, replanting the grass seeds using a drop spreader. I used 4 lbs of csi/rpr and 3lbs of ryan knorr elite turfgrass. I used another 3.75cu yards of peat moss to cover the grass seed and watered sufficiently as to not allow the seed to dry. 40 days later I have an incredible looking lawn with three different varieties of grass.
