EASY Pre Germinating Grass Seed for FAST Establishment!

So easy a YouTuber can do it! In this video I show how you can easily pre germinate grass seed to speed up your fall overseed establishment or lawn renovation. Lets go!

Paint strainers work great on the 5 gallon buckets as they have elastic around the top and grab the bucket top. I like this method because it cuts down on water usage in the beginning.

I've been working on my lawn and have always just thrown the seeds down. Then I get a heavy rain, and throw more down. Just now I learned about pre-germinating. Wow hah, so much better. This is my new technique moving forward!

Just did this with some cheap Pennington KBG. Soaked for 5 days, mixed with Milorganite, spread it out and 7 days later I got peach fuzz action!!! Omg this saved me at least 2 weeks of watering 3-5x day. This was a full renovation so my wife is starting to ask how long will the front yard look like arse. Couple more weeks then add more steroids to the lawn.

Thx for the tip. It worked great, always tough to germinate grass in August in NJ. 7 days stated to germinate.

I used to germinate my pot seeds under the mat in the back seat of my car worked great

Very interesting. I kind of want to try things now!

Great video. Seems like a good way to save a lot of water and a little bit of time.

I wish I had seen this a month ago when I started my lawn from scratch. I have about 30-40%% of the lawn with low coverage. I'll be using this next spring on those areas.

I just overseed will do this on thin spots for sure. Thanks B

Doing a video on this exact process. Don’t let me forget to link yours in the bio. It’s much more thorough on the explanation 😁👍🏼

Great video. I had landscaping come to aerate and overseed. They didn't get close to the drivewayway. Maybe they didn't want the aerator to accidetally tear up deiveway. I was going to wait until spring, but when I saw this video and the temps are in 60s for one more week I figured I would try it. I wil put straw and a lawn mat over it to try to protect it some when temps get a little lower. Should be interesting ro see if it works. Using 7lb jonathan green ultra that has turf fescue, rye, and some blue grass and mixed it with a 7lb scotts rye mix. Seed just got set in the water. I live in northern Illinois

I’ve only just recently stumbled down the pre-germ rabbit hole. Your detailed video was extremely insightful. (I also use cool season tall fescue) Thanks for sharing your knowledge. New 🇨🇦 sub from the PacWest. 👍

This is the first I've seen of this process. Very interesting. Looking forward to more.

Love it. I have 4 lawns this year we are seeding new grass. I will try this.

[vinnypinatelli]

I'm gonna let my parents know about the seed company they want to buy some and I'm giving them alot of options this is added to those options now thank you

[theCastleberry]

Great video with some awesome tips. I am going to have to give this a try.

[stoneyja]

Excellent. Thanks. I will try this on the weekend. I have several patches that I've attempted to seed for the past 3 years. Nothing ever grows. This year I tried mixing manure and potting soil for a good base, and peat moss to cover and almost nothing has grown in 3 weeks. Tons of ungerminated seeds showing.
This pregerminating seems like it should help.

great video, never tried this...adding it to my list

[MrDillon]

Dude this guy looks like tim Dillon! Great vid!!

[MisterAdam-jjjv]
