I think about it all the time. But actually for the rest of the yard. Likely never financially viable for me.

@@JasonSeiberlich I feel you there I always look at them at auctions or marketplace

And weeds are never permanently gone no matter what you do. But they will get less and less over time.

That's probably penncross and is likely more a watering issue than a seed issue. With that said, I've used united seed for improved varieties in small volumes.

Fair

Pretty easy, but it takes practice. If you time disengaging the drive, there's the right amount of momentum to turn it around before it stops and you're lined up for the next pass.

Theres literally a drain across the property line meant to deal with water shed. Just need to get water there.

@@JasonSeiberlich a shovel and a few hours…

We'll get there. Nobody knows when, but we'll get there. It's also not an issue in months where we get less than 15" of rain. We're teetering on needing an ark here.

So I have a 48" commercial walk behind. I can go faster and cover twice the width with that compared to the reels. So probably talking an addition 60-90 minutes a week. If not a little more.

Thanks, man.

Awesome. Best of luck. And, thank you.

Indeed. Thank you.

It's a low spot. My plan is to put drainage in that gets water down to a drain on my neighbors property.

It's been a good lesson for me as what I'm managing keeps growing in scope. I have given myself no choice but the accept the main parts of the yard being ok. If I had 5000 or less sq ft I'm probably still going to be doing far too much.

I'm more than 1 year in for the whole practice facility. I would say than a lawn cut at 2"+ it is a little more. But not that much more. A few more spray applications and a few more mows. But fert is very similar.

Fair.

I don't think those robots will go this low. However, I am going to eventually buy a robot for the rest of my property so I only have to worry about trimming and then mowing the green and fairway.

@@JasonSeiberlich I'm not sure I know the course I go to which has 27 holes, they use a robotic mower.... which makes sense given how much golf courses tend to lose money but it may be a situation where you can only get them in a commercial grade

@@JasonSeiberlich I am curious though How do you keep weeds out ... I know there's pre-emergent but doesn't pre-emergent keep grass seed from germinating as well... that's what the Lawn Doctor rep tells me when he does my yard and I asked about seating

To you first comment, those robots are exorbitantly expensive and not practical for a homeowner unless you have done very well for yourself (I would imagine in excess of $15,000-20,000). In regards to weeds, I use mostly post emergent herbicides for.weed control. You are correct that pre emergents don't allow grass seed to grow. There are, however, a number of herbicides that are safe for bentgrass that I can use to kill weeds.

Could go heavier N. Plugs also take a bit to start to spread. Always option to seed a well.

Think it was Award. EC Grow possibly the company. It really doesn't matter. Could be 20-0-4, any number of big number - small number or 0 - small number will do. Whatever you have access to you as cheaply as possible. Recommend landscape wholesalers. I have Reinders in my area or the generic big box store brands.

Spending far too much time on Facebook marketplace. Ive gotten pretty lucky with three greensmowers as well. Spend enough time there's a chance a deal pops up. The fescue will not survive that short.

Thanks!!!

I assume that would still be climate dependent. Ben Simms at Lawn Tips is using bentgrass.

There is no such thing as a weed free lawn. There will always be a few you're dealing with and you can take care of it over time. Happy to help.

It's a john deere 180b. But any greensmower will do. Greensmaster or jacobsen

That is very kind. Thank you. Best of luck and happy to answer any questions you have as you go.

No rotation. Just Armada.

@@JasonSeiberlich Bent doesn't develop resistance to it after time?

It would be the disease or fungus that would develop resistance, not the grass. And, armada is 2 modes of action, which greatly reduces the risk of resistance development. The more modes of action you can apply at once the better. Rotating 1 MOA at a time doesn't really help resistance prevention from what I've been told by people smarter than me.

@@JasonSeiberlich I'm sorry I misspoke that's what I meant though. Ya I was just curious I keep prg at .250 and I'm rotating 5 fungicides. I was always under the impression that you needed to rotate many more fungicides with bent since there are so many available and some are $1300 so I was curious why someone would use those if you could simply use only armada all day which isn't that expensive compared to many of the other fungicides for bent.

Golf courses can do that because they have 7 figure budgets and the condition of their greens is often what justifies that 7 figure budget. But it is far far far from necessary for a backyard green. In my experience, the bentgrass has been no more disease prone than any other part of my yard.

I can mow and be practicing for 15 minutes in the round trip driving time to get to my nearest golf course.

Believe it was a 17ph11 or something along those lines. Discontinued and honestly not sure I'd recommend unless you found a great deal on used market. Just scour marketplace until you find a decent deal on a greensmower.

😂😂😂

I want to first clarify something I didn't know when I made this video. 200 gdd is for grass that is sub 3/8". If you're using in normal cool season type grass mauntained at 2"+ it may be closer to 350-400 or even more before you have to reapply. So, with that out of the way. Note the day you make the first pgr application and what the season total of gdd has been on the Syngenta website on that day. Say you apply on 5/20 and the current gdd total for the year is 350 days. So, the next application will be when the gdd total for the year passes 550 days. It's just checking in on the gdd total until it crosses 200+ days from the application day total.

Thank you, sir.

@@JasonSeiberlich Always watch your videos! 👍🏻

Just a regular sprinkler works. Also used both hunter rotors and mp rotators. Both either on a pvc sled I've used or just sprinkler stakes. I water when it needs it and usually try to put 0.3-0.5" of water down. It'll be pretty obvious when it needs water as it will start to brown like any other part.of the lawn. Sometimes in summer it can be every 2-3 days. Fortunately this year haven't had to water at all yet.
