- Things started out great but ended in failure and over seeding.
Was it the seeds fault or mine? You'll have to watch and see....

Wow. For a guy with 16+ years experience, you really crapped the bed on this one.

Lol good sense of humor
Are you perfect at your job all the time?
Management, input, performance…man this is all systems thinking and solution oriented. That’s enough for me to subscribe. Well done mate
Really enjoyed this update! Really awesome to see how the yard progressed over a year and how it survived that flood! Lol!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video and sharing your journey (great insights). I've thought about using that dense shade mix and I wouldn't have thought that I would need to treat it any differently, but your story really brought that my attention. Thanks! I can so relate to that sudden change of weather (I live in Chicago, it's Sept 3rd 2023 and I over-seeded a few weeks ago in mid August because we really had a cool spell and I thought that would carry through to the start of our normal cool fall weather, and surprise, surprise we've had some really hot weeks and now I'm trying to keep my new seeds alive. It's always tricky trying to dance with mother nature!
I've been trying to grow grass in my dense shaded back yard for 4 years now. I've used 3 different seed types. The Jonathan Green Dense Shade grass was no better than the Kentucky 31 grass I grew. The Kentucky 31 actually lasted longer before thinning out and turning to bare dirt again.
Any update on the tall fescue?
The only issue was drainage. A French drain and drainage basin were needed, Other than that It was a great job!
You are correct but for how infrequently this happens, the thousands it would cost to do could not be justified. Thanks for watching!
Good video. Good job. Thanks.
It had nothing to do with your fertilization. Fine fescues require just as much nitrogen as KBG.
On newly established lawns you’re better off with triple 16 fert. Your lawn wants phosphorus
Great video
Thanks Bub!
Im trying to get my pesticide license now is it any help you can provide
If you are in Pennsylvania yes. I am not familiar with other states laws and regulations though.
@@thepursuitofgrowth964 im in Missouri but if you have any pointer or anything to help on the core test I will thank you
@@TerranceSTL What really helped me was attending a Zoom online prep course that was put on by Penn State and the PA Department of Ag. I would call your extension office and inquire about if that's available.
Your state provides the appropriate literature in the category you are looking to be certified in as well as CORE materials. Read and REREAD all of it and use any practice tests that are in it. When I took the test I was surprised how many questions there were on the CORE exam on interior pest control topics. As a lawn guy, I didn't focus on that stuff because that wasn't what I was going to do with my license but CORE covers all types of basic knowledge. So know it all, not just lawn and landscape info.
Lastly.... SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY there will be a lot of questions about safe handling, storage, use, and personal protective equipment. Also drill this into your head.... THE LABLE OF A PRODUCT IS WHERE 99% of all info is found so know how to read a label.
@@thepursuitofgrowth964 thanks for the help.i will
The problem was not you. I had perfect conditions. Same as you looked fantastic initially. But then summer came. Never fully recovered. More than half didn’t survive the winter. You can’t take the blame for rain. Or mother nature. Black beauty ultra. Original. Dense shade. Sunny blend. If you look at the labels, majority of it is all the same stuff. Except for find fescue in the dense shade. None of the Jonathan Green grass seeds are tested by anyone. The cultivars have been around for a while. Is it terrible? No. Is it the best see it out there? No. Is it over priced for what it is? Yes. I still use it for touchup because it’s available locally in small amounts. But for a full overseed or renovation. I go with whatever blends are at the top of the NTEP.
I made a mistake using the dense shade mix. You see I have 3 trees that overlap at the back of my yard. The sun is able to creep through only for about 2 hrs in the mornings. Anyway I initially seeded with Dense Shade in the spring and it germinated nicely for a few months. In the summer though the grass started to regress a bit. They didn’t die but basically stopped growing and thinned out. Anyway I watched a lot of JG you tube videos and saw that the Shady nooks is a way better option for 90% shade. I bought 2 smaller 7lbs bags and reseeded today. Let me see what happens .
Shady nooks has poa in it. No thanks
What is the best looking grass/seed to use in norther New Jersey?
That is a tough question to answer without seeing the property and conditions but you will for sure want cool season grass types. Mixtures of Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Rye Grass, and Turf Type Tall Fescue are preferable. I like mixtures that are predominantly Tall Fescue with a small amount of Blue Grass. the sandiness of your soil will also play a part depending on if you live near the coast.
