Most of the reno "playbook" is based on full KBG renos. Does any of that change when doing a PRG reno, given that it can germinate within a week and mature quickly in general?
For example, what if you roundup day 1, then on day 2 scalp and put seed down, skipping fallowing? The weeds get a significantly smaller headstart with PRG compared to KBG, but I'm not sure how much of an impact that will have. I was considering experimenting with this on a tiny section of the yard next year just to see what would happen.
Does the fast germination of perennial ryegrass allow any shortcuts during a reno?

The fast germination and establishment time of PRG is completely separate from doing fallowing. Skipping fallowing would be a mistake and I wouldn't bother doing the Reno. You don't have to go nuts with it. A month or so is pretty common around here.

Not much (and I've grown plenty of PRG).The weeds get a significantly smaller headstart with PRG compared to KBG, but I'm not sure how much of an impact that will have.
