I own the same blower. I recommend using the 2 1/2 amp hour battery. It makes a huge difference with the weight. It came with a 5 amp hour battery which is heavy AF. Agreed on the turbo mode, that’s all I use too.
Depends on where you live. If you live in the northern part of the country where it gets cooler in the season seed will germinate faster. I have a friend that lives in the north on the state of Washington and he has all rye grass, and his lawn is so green and gets no fungus. He can mow all year round. Where I live outside of St Louis, Mo where last week was 100 degrees. Grass seed needs to germinate when temps are below 80 degrees. Yes, some might grow but half of the seed will not germinate matter how much you water.
Your yard is 🔥 bro. Amazing. Agree to disagree on the Ego. I’ve had great luck with it and it’s plenty powerful when you use turbo. No cords. Yeah a gas backpack would crush it. But I’m a homeowner on .5 acres, not a pro. Great stuff man!
I totally get it man. I was frustrated when filming to be honest. I'm gonna give it another shot and use the turbo and see how long the battery lasts. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I can vouch for your backyard tall fescue seeding. Put mine down on august 10th and got germination on the 15th. I just mowed it for the first time this past Friday (20 days since I seeded when I first mowed)
Your lawn is looking crazy good! I appreciate your videos in helping guide me to transform my yard. Between you and yard brah, I'm strong my game up this year. One thing I am really struggling with is worm castings. I know people are going to say they are good for your lawn, but i literally have thousands all over my yard and they have caused it to be so bumpy. I have a sandy clay yard so the castings won't break down. Any suggestions to at least limit the amount of worms i have in the yard?
Nice yard I love it. I just have a question I bought blackout and I'm ready to throw down but the problem is the heat is in the high 90s. I aerated it and I detached it so it's ready to go but I gotta wait. Or should I go for it?
Goddamn 😍😍😍. Mine looks amazing too. Quick question. For the fall nitrogen blitz. What setting should I use on my spreader? Like one of the lowest or middle?
Sooo. I know the back yard was over seeded with blacknout tttf. Whats the front one? Kinda new to your channel but dang loving the grass. I’ll be reseeding here in a couple weeks. Usually went with Jonathan green ultra. I know I know. Seriously considering what you have in the front lawn. I live in Illinois- about 1hr 40 min north west of downtown St Louis.
how soon after germination are you mowing? im 10 days in after seeding on my new lawn with germination occurring after 4 days on the blackout. great seed, btw!
i'lll be going away for 12 days and when i return i shall be aerating and reseeding and adding some top soil/sand would it be a good idea to fertilize before i go?
The Ego blower is still lighter than my gas powered Stihl. The nice thing about the Ego tools is all the batteries work with it, so just take a lighter battery from one of your other tools and charge up a couple of them. I run mine on constant full and only use the turbo button, and I only have the 650. No way I could get away with dragging a cord around my entire yard.
I only ever use the Turbo on all of their tools Only time I use it in standard is blowing leaves out of a stone garden onto the lawn without throwing stones onto the lawn
I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on the massport. Is there another mower that stripes or a striping kit I can add that you would recommend?
Beautiful lawn! I’m also from Minnesota and I’m looking to do a lawn Reno on my yard. I know I want to use blackout seed but I’m curious how the perennial ryegrass holds up to our brutal winters? I have 15000 square feet of turf so I’m looking for something that will hold up during our long winter months and foot traffic.
I honestly would do our KBG/prg blend. I havent noticed much die off in our winters, but having kbg mixed with the prg is a game changer. The self repairing is a necessity in my opinion. And the blend is still crazy dark.
Dude ur lawn is ridiculous 😮u get what u put into it and all ur hard work payed off it does look fake like u said it's so rich in color and those stripes lmao jeeze quick question I did full reno in Sept last year all kbg it sprouted nice but stayed in sprout and pout and I wasn't able to cut it untill this past June now it's looking good but was wondering does it take little more time for the kbg to achieve that dark blue green color maybe I'll see it change more during this fall season ?
Awesome review as usual!!! IMO I will not get rid of my RED MAX gas blower " ever " I live in SoCal and the Police will have to pry it from my hands! My Neighbors don't complain either, WHY? be I told them that IF they RAT on me?! I dime them out on every city violation. QUESTION- What rotary mower are you using for your lawn? By back yard will be going through a renovation in 2 weeks and I will be using your mixture of seed. Also --- If you want an even sharper cut on your Edging?! WALK backwards with the cutter. trust me :)
How much did that lawn cost you lol? Seriously, Ive spent too much and the back is full of crabgrass. The front is free of crabgrass and its green because of some shade. I just moved in this house and havent done lawn care in a few years. I do think I need to dethatch the back, its super squishy and looks like 4 different kinds of grass. I do watch your videos but this chemical talk is over my head. Beautiful lawn !
I'm starting to come around on prg, but I'm definitely kbg if it's a super dark cultivar like I have. I have had TTTF long enough to really give it a chance to be honest
Jesse, Its BANGING! The KBG is Bling Bling! Great work sir! I am happy for you bro. All the hard work was worth it.Great timing with your vlog. I just finished up all the detaching and lowered height of cut. I also busted my Greenworks but pushed through with the ground keeper rake. Will be throwing down tomorrow Blackout TTTF. I hope I can get your results. I will take 75%. If you go all in with EGO get a bigger battery for the blower. Burns up quickly on max. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nelson, thank you for the comment man. Good luck tomorrow!! Hoping for good weather for you! Go heavy with the seed. I appreciate the comments and support man. Send me before and afters!
The yard is on fire! I honestly wont ever buy another electric/ battery operated “yard” tool because they are unreliable, they lack power to “move” product and are awkwardly designed for “lawn enthusiasts” that demand the control of the unit!
Your front yard is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Looks amazing my guy. BLACKOUT!!! We’re still in the 100’s for this coming week.
Thank you brother! That's crazy you guys are still dealing with those temps. We're cooling off here now!
very motivating! Those stripes are insane. Keep up the great content!
I've never seen grass look like that,it's incredible! the color is so dark and it's so dense, absolutely beautiful
Thank you man. It's crazy to see in person! Thanks for watching!
I own the same blower. I recommend using the 2 1/2 amp hour battery. It makes a huge difference with the weight. It came with a 5 amp hour battery which is heavy AF. Agreed on the turbo mode, that’s all I use too.
Holy moly, congrats man! That front yard looks picturesque! And the back ain’t to shabby either. Can’t believe you’re already able to stripe it!
Great lawn!!

Gas backpack blower all day. Lawn looks crazy
I'm honestly thinking about it now. I was spoiled with power before this
Husqvarna backpack is about $300 but it is heavy on your back. I rarely use it and use my Milwaukee instead.
As always. Great video Jesse. Love the content you put out.
Thank you for watching and supporting!
Stripes are actually insane. Nice work my man.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
🤯 jealousy doesn’t begin to describe my feelings. 😂 incredible. Wow!
I'm in GA and we have gotten little rain, but overall can't complain on color.
Dude, thank you for your time, thank you for you honesty on the reviews, thank you for your enthusiasm. One question is that black out TTTF?
Get the stubby attachment for the blower great for drying off cars but even blows dirt even more then the long tube
Beautiful lawn my guy
Bro!!!! Looks amazing!!!
Thank you brother!
Lawn looks great jesse!! Ego mower works great🤷🏻♂️
I have a worx blower that is super light and really powerful!
Interesting. I'll have to look into it! Thanks for watching!
great looking lawn, greetings from belgium.
Thanks for watching from so far away!
Shooting lazers lol nice work 🙌🏼👏🏼

I really like my M18 blower. Barely use my 2-cycle now.
Dewalt 20v I used to have sucks in comparison.

Nice mow job
Just ordered hattrick and fireball … 🙏🏻 for fast shipping lol 😂 it’s go time
Lawn looks awesome 🎉 has anyone suggested using some feature when you put PGR down? It’s supposed to help with the bronzing
how soon after germination are you mowing? im 10 days in after seeding on my new lawn with germination occurring after 4 days on the blackout. great seed, btw!

The weight doesn't bother me as much as the power. I need to use the turbo on an entire lawn session and see how long it lasts
I only ever use the Turbo on all of their tools
Only time I use it in standard is blowing leaves out of a stone garden onto the lawn without throwing stones onto the lawn
I use my 2.5AH Battery in blower it’s a nice weight
5AH for my Multi tool
Happy Labor Day!
Same to you Robert!
Looking good, however in the east humidity you would never want it that thick, pythium and Grey leaf spot would be detrimental
I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on the massport. Is there another mower that stripes or a striping kit I can add that you would recommend?
My Goodness Big Jes!
Thank you Ced! 💪
When u seeded, did I put anything down for the weeds? Also I recently sprayed Spectrocide on my front lawn how long should I wait to put seed down?

Hello, are you interested in testing a smart sprinkler controller? You can complete all operations remotely through the app
Please tell me which size and brand your manual reel mower is. I respect your opinion and no bs attitude.
Will you post a video on how you kept that rye that dark and full all thru summer? I don't watch you religiously but maybe i should 🤔
Awesome review as usual!!! IMO I will not get rid of my RED MAX gas blower " ever " I live in SoCal and the Police will have to pry it from my hands!

😂 Cali is a different world! I'm using the Masport Rotarola. Good luck on your renovation man!
If im pre germinating my blackout n fireball seed, can I still use tenacity before putting seed out?
Where did you get the rotary scissors from?
How much did that lawn cost you lol? Seriously, Ive spent too much and the back is full of crabgrass. The front is free of crabgrass and its green because of some shade. I just moved in this house and havent done lawn care in a few years. I do think I need to dethatch the back, its super squishy and looks like 4 different kinds of grass. I do watch your videos but this chemical talk is over my head. Beautiful lawn !
Looking awesome! What height are you cutting the back?
Looks amazing!! What lawn mower was that???
Bro that crabgrass door matt made me think thats not even your house!
before overseeding with Blackout Tall Fescue, what kind of grass type did you already have in the back?
It was a sod mix of KBG and prg.
Is your front lawn rye grass only?
Absolutely beautiful
Dawn dish soap works great and is safe for pets.
Dawn kills ants?
@@lawnlifevlogsyes sir! I googled it and had an ant pile the size of a basketball. In 1-2 days I washed it away with the hose.
Niban is excellent for insects similar to ants.
How wide are your stripes? 60 inch ? Man, the sun hits them just right.
😂😂😂 Fake Grass ?!?!? I’ve had some Twin City Seeds germ in 3days so I can see this being 21days and fully filled in. That front lawn looks amazing ❤
Thank you man. Yeah idk what that guy was thinking to be honest. When's seed down for you??
Whaty rate did you use for the PGR? Rough rate or fairway/greens rate?
I used the rough rate since my grass was about an inch at the time. Only used 1/3rd rate. Next time I'll stick to fairway rates
Lets say for whatever reason, that you DO over crowd your seed? How would that be dealt with?
what camera and gimbal is that?
What cfm. Was the blower
You need a Toro Timemaster =)
Wow! Is the front Blackout Rye? I am tempted to buy some and get it shipped to the UK because that is looking sick!
kyb in front. rye Mix on side....pretty sure. kyb for the win right now...........rain is Key.
The front is 100% kbg. Similar to our blackout KBG mix. My side is KBG overseeded with blackout
@@lawnlifevlogs great job thisyear
Thank you!
Why did you change mowers in the back?
Tall fescue doesn't clump? Around my house has zero sun. Planning to use tall fescue..
It does clump. But once it matures it can grow to the size of a medium size plate
Glad you're not my neighbor, id just give up. My grass looks good but nothing like this 🔥
They think I'm nuts 😂 Thanks for watching man!
How are you getting stripes like that with a rotary mower?
It's called a Masport Rotarola. It has a drum in the back instead of wheels like a normal mower
@@lawnlifevlogs thought it might have been that. Cheers
How in the world do you get those crazy stripes??
Also what’s the name of that edger? Thanks
My mower has a drum on the back of it to fold over the grass. The edger is a power rotary scissors
Now that you have three different grass types in your yard, which is your favorite and why?
Think he’s a bluegrass guy, based on other videos I’ve watched
I love the way KBG looks after it matures but the slow germination time drives me crazy.
I'm starting to come around on prg, but I'm definitely kbg if it's a super dark cultivar like I have. I have had TTTF long enough to really give it a chance to be honest
Is that all from the massenport?
Yes. The whe mow was the masport!
cleaning the sidewalk crack and filling with polymeric sand should stop weeds
Do you think 10,000 ft.² is a lot I have almost 50,000!
Jesse, Its BANGING! The KBG is Bling Bling! Great work sir! I am happy for you bro. All the hard work was worth it.Great timing with your vlog.

Nelson, thank you for the comment man. Good luck tomorrow!! Hoping for good weather for you! Go heavy with the seed. I appreciate the comments and support man. Send me before and afters!
Get a gas leaf blower??!??!
10,000 sq ft lol. I’m maintaining 35,000 sq ft!
Why go to gym while you can work at your lawn? lol
maybe what the mow is telling you that you should cut at 1.25" and stop real mowing so low.
The yard is on fire! I honestly wont ever buy another electric/ battery operated “yard” tool because they are unreliable, they lack power to “move” product and are awkwardly designed for “lawn enthusiasts” that demand the control of the unit!
For sure fake grass! (Jk😂)
😂
Fake grass. Just kidding 😂😂😂
😂
