HOW TO PREGERMINATE GRASS SEED for a FASTER LAWN

This video shows how to speed up planting a new lawn. This will take about 10 days off the time that the seed sits on the soil. This works very well.

Worked at a sod farm when young. They used to swear by refrigeration of the seed (at least 3 days) - early generations TTTF and Bluegrass. We also soaked, but only for about 24 maximum and with a liquid fish emulsion. We then drained it well, like a day and mixed 50/50 with very dry mason’s sand as a carrier. We usually got germination in four days AND way better stand through maturity - way quicker field rotation. The elderly owner had been doing that for years and said the refrigerator brought up the humidity

Would love an update video showing how you are exactly laying these

I was so confused when I saw your lawn was green again, and then it cut to a future point in time where you started nuking it.

I'm so excited to see the results.

I did this with my Everest KBG reno this year and I got germination in 5 days. I put the seed down on August 13, today is the 24th and the grass is 3/4 to 1" long in some areas and great germination too. Great video Coonor!

SAFETY FIRST. Glad you were donning the high vis vest while working the pre-germ project

It does work. Ive been in the turf business 20 plus years got a degree from umass in turf management microbiology. Been maintaining pga championship golf course turf. Built many golf courses. We hydrate seed certain areas of tree lines. Hard panned areas. Changing water is clutch. I use diatenacious earth products to move the seed. Love one of your shirts hats

After 3 years of lawn care videos i am still learning tricks of the trade, thank you for that ! One benefit of getting Covid is I overseeded and spot seeded with elite tall fescue and am able to water 3-4 x for the past 5 days. This is a great tip for me when I go back to work full time and have to seed next year it will speed germination and baby sitting.

[rosatipton]

thank you!! i don't have nearly the size of yard you are dealing with - but i did soak my seeds for 5 days - I will plant on Saturday... thanks againg!!!

I never thought I'd hear The Lawn Rebel say "I follow the rules".

just did this with some of my Barenbrug RPR. 5 days of soaking and then mixed it with Milo to dry it out. Put some in the yard on bare spots and put some in trays for growing plugs. Did not seem to do anything. Just now starting to sprout about 13 days out. Normally 7 or so without soaking. Until this moring I thought I might have drowned it. LOL Round 2 I did a pound of KBG Midnight and mixed it with bagged topsoil. Just started that yesterday. Got another pound of RPR that I am just going to keep wet for a few days and then mix with topsoil. Just testing things out before I areate and reseed in the middle of Sept. Love your videos.

Make seeds wet helps the germ faster, this is pretty awesome man. I do it for gardening never seen it on this scale but awesome man. Also the water change helps stop fungi growth which isn't good. Love your videos, me and my daughter watch when they drop. Love the content much love.

I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now and you got me striping my lawn and I love it. I’d like to see more videos on what your doing with your renovation and I hope it works out this time.

Lawn will be popping in no time. You're off to a good start.

[mikegaffney]

I wish this video came out 2 weeks ago, I bought my seed and started pregerminating it already. First time, just went for it…we’ll see how it goes🤘🏼

[JEK]

Nice lawn hack, this can cut down on the watering and establishment time. Appreciate all your videos you are the best.

[jamie]

love seeing the process, thank you sir. I put my seed down yesterday high persentage KBG wish i pregerminated. oh well. also got 2 inches of rain last night I hope it wasn't to much. cheers mate from Ontario

[GeryTeague]

It's almost spring! Time for some Connar Ward!!! OH

[MJorgy]

I'm going to try this for my patch work in my small renovation area from last Fall. Weeds have been terrible in certain areas of my lawn due to drought and heat. I went cheap this year and didn't water all Summer, except for the renovation.

Holy Seed!
I watched your video 2 weeks ago and you talked about going to get the paint screens.
You didn't say much other than the video audio got messed up.
I had planned to hit my Target with the soil temperature in my area, and used expensive seed I bought online and said fock it. I am exactly 1 week in and seeing grown seedlings. Wish I would have known about the every 12 hours I did 24. Love the channel and can't wait for this Kentucky Bluegrass to meture in the spring!

I had thought I messed everything up, but I want to mow so bad now but it actually worked.

[TheLawngineer]

Good stuff! Did this a few years back with great results!
