QUICK And EASY Method To Plant Grass Seed // Seeding A New Lawn In Spring

It's time to plant some grass seed and today I am planting my Elite Perennial Ryegrass in a small section in front of the house and I wanted to show how easy it can be to seed a new lawn area. Spring is not the ideal time for cool season grasses but can still be done so I also talk about some products to help with that and more tips and tricks as you head into summer.

Ryan, just wanted to say congrats on your seed. I used the Rye last year for a full reno and can absolutely confirm that it provides incredible color. Well done sir 👍

[johncornell]

You always have great tips which are much appreciated. Thanks Ryan

This guy can grow grass on the moon if he wanted to. Cool video, RK!

If anyone can pull off spring seeding it’s Mr Ryan Knorr. Good luck to your Hawkeyes this afternoon 👍

[BenNawrath]

This will be me in a week or so! I picked up a Groundskeeper II rake this spring. Perfect for creating a good seed bed. Highly recommended.

Spring is such an exciting time watching Mother Nature bounce back from all the winter shenanigans. I use a tackifier to keep those seeds stick to the soil. Using straw in an urban environment is usually not very curb appealing. I’ve also used rolls of burlap.

Nice quick and easy basic video for the average home owner. Little birds are killing my over seeding efforts even with straw. I have to invest in that blanket. I spend about $300-400 a year in landscape maintenance on 1/2 acre.. Wonder what you all spend.

Wow this channel has blown up! Congrats

I asked my son what he was doing in the bathroom. He said he was spreading grass seed. Now I get it.

[LawnRight]

Looking forward to seeing it in a few weeks time.. loved the cross hatch on the main lawn you added in.

[Funknwanker]

Drop spreaders are great for this type of application.

Just finished seeding your tall fescue/KBG blend in my front yard today! I can’t wait for the final results 😁😮‍💨. Watering 2 times a day hopefully it starts germinating next weekend

This video should have more views than the channel has subscribers. Great stuff Knorr!

That's a good size flower bed area I have a few flower bed islands in my front yard and I put all the waste and leaves and compost in them I had softball sized rocks lining the beds I put them evenly spaced like Dubai world islands and put a ton of acorns before and sit thru the winter to settle I took a hand rake and covered a huge 20x30ft oval area with only half the area cause the rocks over seed like crazy and had a huge nettle problem buy pulled the weeds once established and just before the dry season so the holes left by the rocks helped pull the nettle and keep water I removed the world island rocks then all I had was little desert plate size holes wet them deeply added soil and seed wet deeply seed and dirt and proper water that how I got 3-5x the area done by hand the Swiss cheese way

You're about to become a very busy man; again! :) Thanks for the video!

[danxie]

Thanks Ryan. Your video is very helpful. Wonder if you have a close up to show the density of the seed after hand spraying it.

[jfarm_]

I need to do this as well. Very timely video

Hey Ryan,

I have two questions, please. I got a new concrete driveway and I had already placed pre-emergent this year, . Next to the driveway is a 3-inch wide/ deep gap along the entire lawn that I intend to fill with topsoil this coming week and I have your seed that I bought and so I wanted to fill and seed those sections; First question is - will the seed grow because technically it's all new topsoil, not mixed with the pre-emergent.. and this leads me into my second question, If I level the lawn with bulk topsoil after my pre-emergent has already been down, do you think ill get weeds because this now a new layer and will new grass grow above my leveling if I seed?

Thank you, long time sub.
Thanks for everything as always. You and Conner have been my go-to's. Much love from Michigan.

Btw - The candle is great, I only light it up during the winter months when I want the smell of spring. Love it. And your seed has been the best I've used to date.
