How to Have a Green Lawn All Year // Overseed Bermudagrass with Ryegrass
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2021
- Overseeding ryegrass in bermudagrass is a great way to have a green lawn all year long. Commonly referred to as winter rye, this lawn care tip works with perennial ryegrass or annual ryegrass for a great year round lawn. This is how I overseed my bermudagrass lawn.

Thanks for the video!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Love ya work mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Good info. Thanks RLD!
You bet
I wanted to thank you for the information about the crop weed and other weeds. I did not know that…Now I have strange-looking weeds that I have never had before. They didn't put a seed/weed label on the Pennington Rye seed bag. I'm upset. Now I have to get rid of these alien-looking weeds. 😢😢😢😢
Thank you again.
always so good
Thank you. I try. Make sure you pay attention to the part where I talk about the groomer on the Flex
@@ReelLowDad both of my flex21s are 14 blade about 1/4" HOC max so I bought a separate GM1000 just for cutting my PRG at 1/2", I'll probably rotary mow until I think it's ready to be cut reel low
Is just more work, money, mowing in cold , is not for me, i rather take a break , but i still enjoy the video.
Thanks! The looks from neighbors in January while mowing should have been a second pro
I always put down winter rye in mid October. Scalp the bermuda put the seed down and by Halloween I have nice grass so the kids wont mess up the seeding😂.
Excellent video. When putting down a final fall fertilizer application for the Bermuda, in Texas it’s typical to do a high potassium treatment. Could I do this right before I scalp and overseed? Or should I skip the potash if over seeding? In the past I would do the high potash along with a pre emergent a few weeks before the Bermuda would go into dormancy. That is when I wasn’t over seeding. This winter I want to have the the grass so I’m trying to make sure I do this right.
I did mine last week using my XGRN stash. Also dropped some PRG on the lawn as well. My soil tests have been so consistent over the years I just use my 8-1-8. I will be putting down some peptides if I have time.
Damn man I'm in NE Ga and still full and green. I'd hate to scalp it for rye. I think I'll take the winter off.
I currently have bermuda with some bare spots. If I want a bermuda/rye mix do I use perennial or annual rye? I reside in Texas where it gets cold and we have three digit summers?
Will this video apply to Zenith Zoysia as well. Thinking about over seeding my Zoysia with Rye for a green lawn in the off season.
Yes you can overseed rye into zoysia. I looked at both the labels for MSM Turf and Monument. Neither of them explicitly state Zenith Zoysia. Monument just states it can be used on Zoysia. MSM Turf though states Emerald or Meyer Zoysia. I would lean more towards using monument to spray it out since MSM actually lists varieties. Zoysia is slower to grow out and recover from injury so I would find what your will use to spray it out before committing to an overseed.
hello i overseeded with perennial for the cool weather season here in Texas and came in nice and green but im ready to let my bermuda come in question if i spray the msm to get rid of perrenial will it come back next cool season or will it kill it completely this is my first go round doing it .
It will kill it and you will need to reseed.
What happens if you don’t spray it out? Won’t that just help if the rye survives summer then it’ll be easier to overseed again next fall?
Ryegrass has an allelopathic effect on other plants. It releases biochemical that will interfere with the Bermuda. This has the potential to slow spring green up and prevent the Bermuda from filling back in. You will be left with very thing or even bare areas mid summer when any PRG that didn't die goes dormant.
I over-seeded with Champion GQ for the first time last fall and it was beautiful. How do you handle fertilization? I think I applied too much because when spring rolled around I discovered a TON of my bermuda got absolutely REKT by spring dead spot. It's finally recovered and filled in for the most part but it took until mid August!
Did you spray the rye out?
@@ReelLowDad Yes, I used Negate.
MSM takes at least 2 applications to spray out. That's why I switched to Monument. That finally took out the tye after the two failed MSM applications. Rye is getting tough to kill. As for the fertilizer, I would do one app in late 0ctober and that would be it.
@@ReelLowDad Perfect. Good advice, thanks! Keep up the great content
Picking a seed is so overwhelming to me. Seems as though one would fall down a 🐇 hole quick researching it.
It is such a fun rabbit to go down though.
I never sprayed my perennial rye. It just died in the heat.
First Aussie 😁. Should look good Mike. 😎👍👍
Hope you are having a great day!!
I think I already know the answer... but I am having celebration bermuda installed in the next 2-3 weeks (Athens, GA). I assume I should not oversee with rye until next year!?
Yes, wait until next year. I am a curious person and like to know why so I did a year one overseed. So many issues were caused from that "wanting to see for myself" experiment. Looked good over winter though.
@@ReelLowDad Thanks! I appreciate your videos w/ good info. Now to decide if I want to do rye or bluemuda next Fall - leaning towards rye.
What part of TN do you live? Memphis area here and I plan on doing this in the fall.
I'm in Knoxville
I would assume it’s cooler there and I should wait until late September
Yeah I would look more towards end of September/early October for your area.
If I do a bluemuda lawn is it still necessary to overseed in the winter with rye?
Nope
@@ReelLowDad thanks for the info and content. I live in Nashville and as you can imagine my TTTF gets scorched every summer from the middle of June until the middle of Sept. then it’s complete overseed every year. I personally like the look of a lower cut lawn and with TTTF it just isn’t a match. Bluemuda here I come👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How long should I wait to mow after KBG overseed?
I started mowing around 3 weeks after the overseed. Just as the PGR was starting to hit the GDD interval.
I really enjoyed the video. I normally just spray my Bermuda grass in the winter with glyphosate to kill any weeds prior to green up. I am planning on over-seeding this fall with some chipmate perennial ryegrass. This will be my first time doing this. Im a little nervous after watching this video! My question is can I not just spray my lawn at the beginning of February with glyphosate and be done with it? I just don’t want a bunch of headaches come spring. I don’t mind the brown in the winter but my wife doesn’t like it so I was going to try for a season. Kind of expensive to turn around and kill it in approximately 4 months.
Yeah that should work. You will just be back to dormant grass for a while.
The Glypho, doesn't kill Bermuda?
No. Once the Bermuda grass goes dormant in the winter you can spray and it will kill everything but the Bermuda grass. However, it will kill anything that does not go dormant in the winter time. In the state of Tennessee, it gets pretty cold and usually will drop down to the teens a few times during the winter and maybe single digits once or twice. Just make sure it’s dormant before you spray.
@@brianmitchell535 ufff very interesting.Incredible how bermuda works , my lawn is a mix of a bunch of grasses , and am just hoping the bermuda takes over . 😞. It rarely drops down under the 40s in the wintertime out here in so cal so that maybe a problem lol.
Does your Bermuda turn brown in the winter?
I live near Savannah Georgia and have mostly centipede grass. I’ve read it’s not the best to over-seed with rye. I’m going to do it anyways as I already bought 100 pounds of annual rye grass. Is this a bad idea?
Would love to provide insight on this but my experience with centipede is zero.
What happened to the Bluemuda project?
Bluemuda is still in full effect. Many don't want to go that route and I want to make sure they have the knowledge they need to make their project a success. More bluemuda stuff will be coming soon!
I thought that was the reason behind the bluemuda project, so that the rye wasnt needed
It is. I am not overseeding this year with rye.
Where can I buy texas bluegrass grass?
I would google SPF 30 Bluegrass. That should get you to a place to get some.
@@ReelLowDad thanks
should I scalp or hard scalp?
What is a hard scalp?
@@ReelLowDad I think it’s when you take a blue pill then mow low… idk?
Scalp it hard and mist it high! Witchcraft
