this man is the real deal when it comes to growing turf. HANDS DOWN
I appreciate everything you do Pete. If I need to know something or want to learn I just watch your videos to learn about things. So many things to learn
Always great info.
Just bought another Tall Fescue bag for the Fall.
Bought GCI Turf last year and will be throwin down this fall!
That Intro!!!! Love the new intro. Gets me pumped every time.
Awesome video, perfectly timed, I’ve got Tall fescue up here in Seattle and it just got cooked by some 80 degree days we had which is pretty warm for here. Will be picking up what you’ve got and helping the lawn out for the rest of summer. Greatly appreciated!
Man, I like your comments. The way you conduct your video helps me understand a lot of things.
Good Morning brother Pete!! Just finished my sprinkler system in the back yard. Now I’m working on my getting my dirt right so I can seed my cool blue I got from you this year. I’ll send you some before and after pictures. God Bless You and Your Family 🙏🏽🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸
Always excited to see a new content from Pete. I over seeded with GCI Turf Type Tall Fescue last year and I’ve been amazed by the result. He’s the real deal. Great honest information. Thanks Pete!
Lawn is always looking so good Pete! It’s funny how you’re constantly smoking off beautiful grass just to make more beautiful grass. 🤣🔥
Great info with explanation Pete !! I think those stripes can be seen on the moon !! Have a blessed day thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Looking forward to seeing the install of the Kentucky Blue. Been thinking about starting me a small test plot here in Greenville South Carolina this fall. Keep the videos coming!
My yard is a hot mess. Greatly appreciate your knowledge. Bless you for sharing
Great video! We are still a little chilly here so I have time to get these products ordered and down. Thanks again for the knowledge Pete..
First Aussie 😁. Your home lawn is popping dark green there Pete. A glorious, blue sky bird chirping day there Pete to film. 😎👍👍
No irrigation and lawn looks amazing! Great video
Fantastic video Pete. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to seeing the turf type tall fescue area being renovated to Kentucky Blue in the fall. One tip I would advise, I had hard pan issues on my lawn and when I renovated it I used a deep ripper/sward lifter (20 inch depth) to break the hard pan. I was advised to run it when the ground was dry - as if you rip when the soil is wet, then the ripper doesn't get to smash the pan apart - it will just cut through the wet soil and not do an effective job. The result of Ripping was the areas I had which always lacked moisture and had heat stress before anywhere else - well that problem was solved. You will know if you are deep enough when you see the entire ground lift in between the ripper shanks. If you start seeing soil on the surface kicked up by the ripper (looking like you are plowing soil) then you are too shallow.
Thank you so much for the video! I’m a new homeowner in Central North Carolina, and I’m growing more obsessed with keeping a nice lawn. This hit the nail on the head for me with questions and concerns.
Also, “killing bugs in China” got me laughing out loud. Haha
Good morning Pete! ☕ Love the shirt brother! 👊🏼🇺🇸💯
You've done it again! Great video. I hope you're having a great day.
Dude DUDE it's beautiful. That lawn reminds me of LCN when he was in Indiana just better and bigger
Great video bro, lawn looks AWESOME
Don't forget the wonderful cicadas singing, too!
I love the beautiful sound of cicadas each morning
You doing a great job what amazing lawn
Looking amazing! Even the neighbors attempt at stripes just ain't cutting it when it comes to dominating!
Love the vids as always. Keep em comin. God bless!
Looks amazing 👏Pete.
Hey Pete, I missed you my friend. Glad to see you back on video 😊
Amazing grass thanks .
Pete looks like you're in front of a green screen, amazing!
Pete you are the TOP GUN in lawn care
Great content as always sir! Cheers!
Looking great!
My Grass Looks Amazing BECAUSE YOU PETE ! THANKS YOU SO MUCH ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE ! KEEP MAKING THE AWESOME VIDEOS !,GOD BLESS YOU !,
Turf lookn nioce! Go Pete!
George, good Saturday afternoon to you mate, 😎🍺☕️👊
Great video Pete. Love those stripes! I've seen that hydretain has a granular product that you can put down to help with water retention at the roots. You should do a side by side comparison video of hydretain granular and liquid and another plot alone without any product solely depended on what the rain provides and see what kind of results you get. Love to see the reaction of the turf and see which plot stresses out first.. I know they don't replace water but for the average joe that has a busy schedule and can't water his lawn just whenever it could be a great product to help get you by when you're on a time crunch. 😉 keep the videos coming pete!
I used hydration years ago. It was dry when I used it and out of the blue we got tons of rain. It actually rotted the yard. I haven’t used it since. I might give it another shot someday.
Milo is my high temp fertilizer for late June early July in Midwest after I get my April and May fertilizer applications completed. Gets it green and no burn. Know you’re not a fan of it but it’s simple and easy. God bless. Guess could try liquid iron but liquid stuff is short term and not a fan.
Omg I love your lawn!! 🤣😍 I hope one day my lawn will look half as good as this! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right, I just started back in April..it looks better than it did, but I still feel lost and confused..😩😅 hopefully your videos will help me out!
Protene works great here in the upper Midwest, will order again.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Love it brother
Good lord, that is a beautiful lawn there. props
That’s a lot of grass lol
Pete thanks for keeping me motivated! Did the guys at the shop give you a ribbing about the ceramic coating on your new mower??
I always say! When I treat my yard for grubs and fungus, I’m not treating my yard I’m treating my neighbors yards! 👌
2.3 lbs for 10,000 You'll be killing off bugs in China... should have done this 16 months ago..... Great Work Pete.... My Cool Blue is making my neighbors Green with Envy.....
That little spot that always struggled probably has a big boulder underneath! Same thing happened to me.
When you say Beetles dropping eggs. I don't know why it sound funny to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
All of your vids are hunky dory. 💯🙂
I had fall army worms last summer in Clayton, NC. It took out 25% of my back yard.
Lord I pray that I can get my lawn looking like this. Pete when you're in Charlotte PLEASE let me know.
When are you gonna start on the office side of the business? And I think it would be cool to have a meet and greet with your Subs that don't live too far away so we can see close up all this purty work you do.
I must be getting dialed in to your timing - I threw down my Protene and sprayed CalTide yesterday. Next week, I plan to spray fungicide app 1. The spring down here on Lake Norman has been cool, and the turf is shinin’ like a new penny! Thanks Pete.
how much water did you add to the tank for the Cal Tide...I have 8200 sq ft lawn
@@richardwray797 If you’re asking me, I use a 25 gal tractor-mounted boom sprayer, calibrated to 22 gal on my 10k. So, I use this amount of water no matter what I’m spraying.
@@mburke1211 so its really doesn't matter then how much water you use to cover the 8200 sq ft lawn i have...so its apparently about putting down 4oz/1000sq ft of product over that 8200 sq ft? correct? I have a 4 gal powered sprayer so I can just figure 1 gal of water for every 4oz of product over 1000 sq ft?
@@richardwray797 yes, that is correct. Once you calibrate the amount of water you need to cover your turf area, you want the total volume of your final solution to match that volume (chemicals/bio-stimulants plus water). It doesn’t matter what you’re spraying.
@@mburke1211 so if your using 22 gal water to cover 10K sq ft... then ill be pretty close to using 18-20 gals of water to cover 8200 sq ft...Ill have to go out and spray my lawn with plain water to see how may 4 gal tanks of water I use then Ill know how many oz of Cal Tide I need for every 4 gals of water to cover my 8200 sq ft
Love your videos… so informative … wish you were doing warm season grass … BUT your info can apply to warm season as well .. I just put acelepryn the other day . Do you make any more applications in the year ?
Pete, look into beneficial nematodes for insect control. Work extremely well and probably better down south where the ground stays warmer
Can’t wait to see your sprinkler set up
That is what I am ready to see also - I bet he has them moving and spraying in patterns going the same way - you know Pete has everything super organized
@@christopherbrock8913 I’m thinking reservoir of water and pump.
I used stress blend all last summer and stayed green all year. I’m with you, feed it! Granted, I have sprinklers...
Does stress blend help in the summer time in Texas with the heat
@@angelf9800 in my experience yes, but I’m not in texas
I love your set up I was wondering how many acres you have I. Trying too get that same set up
Pete the educator 💯👍
thumbs up, Pete
Here in Tulsa the army worms destroyed my entire yard. Finally redoing it again with fescue bluegrass mix.
I seriously need my grass that green
Put your ttf in my son's yard last fall and it looks great.
Yeah... I over seeded with it last fall and even with so so germination relying almost entirely on irrigation it’s looking pretty good.
It's that time of the year bro!!!!! #waterseason
I feed cool season turf in nz upto end of first month of summer, but thats December for us and everyone wants the lawn 👌 for Christmas day, once it gets rrreeaallly hot 2nd and 3rd months of summer I stop feeding usually, and kick it back in the guts with a hi n fert once we get the autumn rain back
Great video. What kind of mower do you use? I’ve been trying to tune my Simplicity to get stripes like this. Thank you.
I have tall fescue here in Texas and it has been really hot. Plus we just got a full week of rain after fertilizing. Thr grass turned line green. It is now darkening again. I water 4 times a week as well.
What do you apply to keep tall fescue green during the summer
Windy almost everyday here in Lathrop CA great info Pete 👍🏻
This guy is good
Last year I feed my tall fescue with liquid fertilizer all summer.....once a week. It turn out great and stayed crazy green. 💚
What fertilizer you used ?
A liquid fertilizer from Aamzon nothing fancy. I made sure it had iron in it, caliber your sprayer....very important. Pete had great videos on that, they HELPED me alot. Sea Kep and OSII
im only 50 seconds into your video, and you have already said what is my problem. i work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. never put down fertilizer this spring cause i cant cut but once a week.. my yard looks great!! BUT i know it will go down hill. spent 850 last fall aerating and over seeding with 200 lbs. of fescue.( acre yard)
who the hell dislikes this video? And 9 of them no less. good video excellent commentary.
Had to break out the notebook again...Great Video!
#bugsinChina
Will that type of calcium move the pH at all? Thanks for the video I enjoyed it
Thanks Pete - like always your videos are the best around. I’m wondering if I have an old GCI Turf cool season program. I don’t have the cal Tide or other apps you mention in this video. Had there been updates?
Yes we updated the guide. Email me and I’ll send you a copy contact@gciturfacademy.com
Thanks for the awesome videos and information I need some help noticed two moles yesterday best way to get rid of them and fast ? Ny area thanks
@Pete, would it be beneficial to add a silica/wetting agent app (separately) during the summer months on tall fescue in Tn ?
It got hot this week.
I have a cool season lawn (Minnesota). The carpenter ants are ruining wild! Any suggestions for products to treat them?
Pete; you ever consider there might be some debris buried under that spot that stresses every year? Great video as always.
Very well could be. I might probe around to see
Nice.
What would be the latest you'd apply the summer stress granular?
What sprinkler is that in the background?
I am very interested in your manual water setup. What’s your well pump size and how much deeper than the water table did you drill? My family and I are in the long process of starting to build a house on some acreage and I’ve been owned my lawn care business for 15 years. I have subcontracted my irrigation contracts to a company for over 10 years. I do not have any experience with wells in applying it for the extra boost to water a larger area. If you have any advice or suggestions I’m all ears! Thanks for the great content Pete!
That video should post this week
Can u please list down all the things u used?
Hey Pete, I know you like Sun Drop, but have you had Ski? It’s only in select states/counties but you can order it online. I grew up on it and think you should try it. Be blessed.
I’ve never tried it. Never heard of it. I’ll check into it
I'm super crappy at watering my yard regularly so would it be ridiculous to even try to overseed TTTF this fall? Should I just stick to Bermuda in your opinion?
Can stress blend help in the summer time.
Pete if you see this, whats the main difference in tall fescue and turf type tall fescue, any subscribers feel feel to enlighten as well!
Love the intro Pete! I live in the northern most part of Virginia. My heart wants the blue heat Kentucky bluegrass, but my head says go with Pete’s TTTF. If I follow my heart will I just need more water come the warmer months? Any thoughts? Thanks Pete, stay blessed brother!
Yes never underestimate the amount of water you'll need!
The new blend of Blue Heat is extremely drought hardy. How many square feet do you have?
@@GCITurf 6,500 - 7,000. I was reviewing our Cooperative Extensions 2020-21 list of recommended bluegrass and saw two of the three cultivates listed as recommended as well. Made me hopefully it’d work well.
@@BuffaloNickel9 thank you, I know it can require more. As you said, I’ll have to make sure I stay on top of it.
@@FrankC656 if you have a way to water it regularly I’d say go for it if it’s what you want
Pete, any update on the Spray Buddy or Game Changer?
Waiting on the patent
Are you sure if you stand on the dark stripe the spray gets to the end of pale stripe, cos am sitting here thinking does it span that width?
What kind of pressure pump do you have.
Have a Fescue lawn SW, zone 9a, summer temps 95 to 115 not the desert, I am having an issue with my fescue just not growing much, I can go almost a month without mowing, I laid down sod, 3 years ago, fall reseeded last Nov. I have sprinkler system water daily or every other day. Any idea on what to do.
Pete, let his hair grow out😎
Is tall fescue recommended in California? We don’t get much rain here , if so where can I buy this seed?
How much Cal tide are you using/-gallon?
Hey Pete, what is the brand of pressure pump are you using again?
These are the two I use gciturfacademy.com/spraying-equipment/
Completely off topic, but are y’all still taking care of those soccer fields you put 1,000 lbs of Milo on? That was 2 years ago, what does it look like now?
I’m in Los Banos,ca. 6 months of heat... 6 months off cool grass. I have tall fescue. When can I reseed fescue? Is Bermuda okay to over seed during the heat? I’m used to doing rye grass in the cool season and Bermuda in the heat but this new place I moved to had fescue? Any advice (80-90 degrees right now .. next month should be in the 100’s)
Great info Pete...how often do you apply and what does 1 gallon of Cal-Tide cover?
One gallon covers 16k squ ft. I use it right before summer and right before winter
Ir 's been 85-90° There already this year Pete? We haven't made it out of the 70s here in NE Tn near Johnson city.
We had 2 days last week that hit 90.
