This Might Be The WORST Grass Seed Ever

- Why in the world would I be planting this grass seed? Let's find out.
Long ago (as in the 1940s) Kentucky 31 tall fescue was brought to market and quickly became a favorite for its ability to withstand harsh conditions. However over the years, many many improved varieties of tall fescue have been introduced and yet many still think of K31 as a legit option in their yard over those better varieties. It used to be that K31 was also cheap and for that I could see a use in larger areas, but even that has changed recently. So let's put a plot of this in next to some better fescue and see what it looks like!
Also today I revealed my new partnership with @ventrac . I am so excited to become part of the family and to utilize this equipment on my property in many videos to come. Find out more about Ventrac at www.ventrac.com

Please tell me I am not the only one who will shut off the mower to stop and pull out a weed I see while mowing🤣
I absolutely love the direction this channel is going. Equipment, turf, and personalities. Whoot!
George, Good Wednesday evening to you mate . ☕️
This is gonna be nice. I did this as beginner when I just started getting into the lawn scene . Bought my K31 Fescue bag at Ace Hardware. It came out awesome at that time. Until I got a look 👀 at Your lawn Ryan and that’s when the K31 wasn’t awesome anymore 😂. Love that you’re doing this. Now let’s wait and see the results.
Your videos have grown quality wise by leaps and bounds from 3 years ago when I found this channel. Good stuff👍
@10:00 really? 9lbs of weed seed in that bag? That seems like a complete ripoff.
You sure it's not 9 weed seeds per pound? 🤔
It’s labeled as 9 per pound, not 9 pounds.
Ryan,
Where did you see that this seed had 9 pounds of weed seed?
The label, it’s listed on there.
So jealous of that ventrac 😍
Seeing you get to run that ventrac on your has property me so pumped! Super happy for you guys!
As someone that has tried to kill off the ky31 planted around the trees in my neighborhood. This is a bad call.
I've removed it plenty of times before
Are you sure it is 9lb of noxious weed seed? I think it might be 9 weed seeds per lb.
If I didn't have a turf farm 15 minutes from me with great seed, I'd definitely buy from you.
Holy shit those things aren’t cheap!
That opening was fantastic! With the new toy you might as well and seed the whole property so you have an early start for when the house gets completed. The whole property is looking fantastic, good luck to you guys!
I about vomited when you mentioned Kentucky 31. That stuff ruined my bluegrass sod lawn a few years ago. It is the work of the devil. I’ll stay tuned to see how yours turns out though. Maybe you can tame that beast. Nice intro!
What's wrong with it? I bought a bag a couple years on sale at tractor supply.
First Aussie 😁. Ryan, another day on the lawn ranch. 🤠
You should try pre germinating seed on one of your plots.
What are your thoughts on milorganite?
K31 works for me. It's not for everyone
Heavy rain always knows when you've just seeded.
Oh hell, Ryan got him a Ventrac
That intro...classic RK 🔥🔥🔥!!! I love seeing you out working the new property man, the Ventrac was a must! I can't wait until I have that opportunity!
Dude I saw the headlights in the dark and I was like, no way he's got a frickin Ventrac. Holy moly, he's about to be taking these videos to the next level!
Ridiculously overpriced mower that he and mower time with Tim probably got for free to advertise
@@mih52409 True, but I'm still effing jelly
I was right!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wife is a keeper. She protecting your mower blade.
First of all your editing skills are #1 wow. Before I had any idea about lawn care I put down K31 in my yard. I wish I knew what it really was. Lol 👎
Ryan is living every Iowan city dwellers dream... Moving out of the city. Lol
Midwest guy!
I need you to come to my place with that Ventrac powerrake get my yard ready for grass seed!
Ive been watching and studying what you put on Paul Marshall's yard and am wanting to put the same thing down.
Do I have to go to Des Moines to get it? Thanks!
Yeah he got it at United Seeds
I can’t believe that they have 9 lbs of noxious weeds in that grass seed bag, talk about not starting off on the right foot! Like they didn’t even attempt to clean the seed. Will be interesting to see the differences between the 31 and the rest of your plots.
Shoot!!! I thought I was watching a premier of a new movie the way this bad boy started!! Great editing!
Your facial expression talking about the Kentucky 31 9% weed seed is priceless :)
Your new toys look like a lot of fun! Can’t wait to see how inferior the K31 is up against your other fescue.
Was waiting for Hey this is Ryan from Ryan Knorr Lawn Care. Hope you are having a great day lol. Great machine.
Does your wife have a UA-cam channel or any documentation about her gardening? My wife is really wanting a garden this year and I heard you saying she was a certified master gardener
Where do you get those blankets?
An erosion control supply store locally
I definitely would have seeded and blanketed those bare areas before the severe weather. Those erosion blankets are phenomenal at keeping everything in place and preventing erosion.
I've used them on a majority of my 12ksqft lawn that also has a back slope with an 18° angle. I don't see an issue with pulling them up but I've always left mine in place especially on the sloped areas and by the end of the next summer (fall reno) the plastic netting is really weak and brittle. Haven't had any issues with it in my mower blades.
Thanks for posting the video. Love the power rake attachment on that Ventrac.
K31 is the best seed out there. It grows without even trying to grow it. It makes Bermuda look week.
It is weak...!
Perennial rye grass won't let it grow...
Dude... Sick...
Is it just me, or is there another nameless youtuber that seems to be following your every move? It seems like evey time you do something, they do the same. The new property renovation made it quite obvious to me.
Hey Ryan, Something you may want to try with the ventrac....roll the seed with the tires... it works 👍 great!
You're going to really like the new machine!!!
I've been watching you the last week or so and I just have to say that this intro was just fire
My Dad would have loved that machine Ryan - he ran a Caterpillar Motor Grader for 40 years and I have a feeling just watching it would have made him giggle 🤭 Enjoy the ride!
This might be the first time that Connor Ward is envious of your equipment.
Love the opening with the music. That Ventrac is awesome. Having fun was an understatement. However your perfectionism showed through, but that ain’t so bad. 😊
Wow congrats - near 5 hundo vids. Wow! Awesome! Nice work!
I'm so jealous of that ventrac . Congratulations on the new house and land and toys . I think it's really cool how your wife is your best friend.
Of you want heavy rainfall ask Ryan put down some grass seed.. this seems to be a given 😉
That ventrac looks like a lot of fun
Did you get off the Ventrac yet lol. Congratulations ! That is the ideal machine.
Yes those grass mats are nice but I used some 3 years ago and still find the white strings on my blades after every mow. I say pick it up as soon as possible after germination or maybe after the first two mowings. Next time I would do loose straw and scarify/ thatch and bag the straw once established.
what a fantastic machine. 2 days ago here in MN we had tornadoes, and now it's snowing and the wind is blowing like crazy. I think you made the right decision to hold off on seeding that section!
The beginning of the video reminded me of the Terminator! 🦾
Typical. You get all that work in and then the weather turns
Great Job on the Intro, looks like something out of Top Gear!
I love the ventura and I've never seen one besides on UA-cam !!! Great video Ryan can't wait for more!!!
Love the teat plots and the VENTRAC!!! I'm totally jealous 😫
Watching the power rake is so satisfying 😅😅 makes quick work of things !!
Awesome to have Ventrac as a partner. I really hope someone in the mid Michigan area gets some Ventrac equipment to rent.
I found Kentucky 31 to be straight up garbage. Germination is slow and the coverage is awful. I've been using Jonathan Green Black Beauty for 2 years. Best on the market so far.
There's definitely even better than black beauty. Glad it works for you though 👍
Thank you first time homeowner and you videos are a big help.
That intro was 🔥. The whole video was great, keep up the awesome content
Can you tell me what ketucky31 lawn and feild seed will look like, I got it by accident, should I see my back yard with it or no
I showed it in this video
What a great intro! I thought i was waiting for a ufc bout to start 😂🔥
I've been using the uncoated k31 from TSC looks just like this. It definitely had its share of weeds at the beginning but once under control we've got some of the best looking grass on the block. 🤷♀️
Love the ventrac. That’s gonna be fun. I seeded with K31. Sorry I did. It’s a pale green color not good quality. Grows decent and was cheap. You get what ya pay for. I’ll be over seeding with something else going forward. Probably tall fescue.
I agree that it used to be a very cheap option for areas that you didn't want very much maintenance on, but now it's not cheap anymore either so it's best to get something with better overall performance.
Ventrac!!!!!!!!! I knew it. I called it!!
So Ryan the Ventrac is yours?????
K31 is still the standard for a cool season pasture grass that is tough as nails. A lawn defiantly not but its still the best pasture grass, which as pasture is meant to be mixed with grass, clover and other things good for livestock mainly cows as they are the most picky animal. Ryan if I were you I would just go for a cheap rye along the driveway just for erosion.
There is no such thing as cheap rye anymore haha
Killer intro! Thumbs up for that alone!
You're like, a lawn scientist. Go science!
Isn't tall fescue the nasty stuff that pops up out of my Kentucky blue and grows 3x as fast
Probably Kentucky 31. Not all fescue is created equal
😅
Okay... Now I'm jealous! 😉
That power rake just does it so fastt!!!!!!
Hey Ryan, are you referring to the "Gold Standard" grass seed by Jonathan Green being bad? Just want to get some clarity because that is what I bought lol
Kentucky 31
love to see the involvement of your family in this video.
That ventrac will look nice in the new garage.
What’s the irrigation plan?
Hey Ryan when are you going to post the video of you working at the Masters this past weekend?
I wish
Hear me out… Ryan Knorr Sod Farm
Woo! Another Vinny in the wild :D
Love the helpful lawn care tips
When is your construction slated to start/be completed?
Up in the air depending on weather and materials
Epic intro!! The hype is real
Looking good brother enjoy your new toy
Any suggestions of a seed for very dense shade? Live in MD so tall fescue is the variety around here. Appreciate the help and love the channel

You really need to chill out.
That is one sexy machine !
Really nice intro bro!
Exciting stuff Ryan!
Ventrac!!! Very cool man.
Ohio!!! Go Bucks!!!
Good Lord…what a beaut!
The pro is at it again
Be honest, how long did it take you to record and edit that intro?
3-4 hours
Once again, great quality with your videos. Sidenote. I'm planning to overseed my existing lawn. Just moved to this home, so I have no idea what work was done on the yard in the past. I plan to dethatch for the first time in fall and overseed. I'm not certain of the grass type, but know it's a mix, likely tall fescue and ryegrass (I'm in northern Illinois.) I've been looking at your Kentucky Bluegrass/Rye elite seed you offer. Just wondering if you think that would be a good, safe mix for my yard.
If you think it's predominantly tall fescue then I might stay with that as the main seed type so you don't get some weird textures going on
@@ryanknorrlawncare Thank you your reply. I'm not entirely sure it's predominantly tall fescue. There's two noticeable types in the back yard. The previous owner, I believe, seeded after a pool. One section has thinner blades and a lighter green. The rest of the yard is a darker green with slightly thicker grass blades.
time to get the aeravator.
Loved the intro haha.
That machine is a beast
Great stuff Ryan.
Pete Denny with #GCI is going to be so excited to see you using the ventrac
My first thought too. Lol
Always enjoy these vids. In my opinion it would be helpful if you attached a date to these vids. Will help viewers know when you get stuff down if they go back and watch. For instance in a spring seeding video, it would be helpful to know when the project started for future cases (im aware of weather differences). But it gives people an idea when to start!
