Weeds in Lawn Are Not Dying (5 Reasons)

[@shanewhittemore]

I truly appreciate the way Jason sets proper expectations as it relates to weed control with Homeowners. I deal with clients everyday in a different industry and I have learned through success and failure that life is much better when there are no surprises on the journey to meeting short-term and long-term expectations. Jason seems like a very nice guy and a real professional. I bet though he can get pretty fired up pretty quickly He would fit in great down here in SW Mississippi. His passion shines through!! Thanks Jason.

Best turf advice guy on You Tube.

Can you not kill torpedo with like a brush/grass weed killer and reseed in the fall? I don't know a thing about torpedo I just figured starting over from scratch isn't really all that big of a deal.

[@lawncarelife]

We don't typically reseed warm season grasses. Seeding would be done in the summertime. With that being said, I guess killing the entire lawn and starting over is always an option

[@AMckentuck]

@@lawncarelife okay i was just curious i am in the cool season lawn i know nothing about warm season grass types or the troubles you all go through. Cool season grass you can kill it all and reseed in the fall and its not a big deal.

Speed Zone works for my wild onion/garlic. Great advice Jason.

[@lawncarelife]

Thanks for the tip. I haven't tried SpeedZone on wild onions

[@toddh6234]

Wish I could post a picture.. I have a weed that simply will not die. It's a grassy weed that grows in snake like pattern. The roots are difficult to pull and spraying it only makes it brown up then it greens up again.

[@Bigfish1day]

How do I kill poa annum? It’s a pain in my NC a..

[@surfordie82]

I like Jason alot because I never feel like he's trying to sell anything. And he often prefaces his advice by saying that it's based on his experience and opinion. Thanks for always being real with us! Now... time for me to get out in the yard and spray some Quinclorac. Totally missed my fall pre-emergent window last year and now I've got poa, ryegrass and a few other weeds living rent free out there!

[@raphymartinez]

What do you mean? The doctors... i mean lawn people I see on KZbin never try to sell me anything 😂

[@philthelawnman]

I like that your channel has grown so much. Viewers do not realize how much money you could be making extra if you were not spending so many hours making videos.

[@lawncarelife]

Thank you. KZbin is time consuming but I enjoy it for the most part

[@webeducation]

Man I've often wondered if their exists a lawn with not 1 single weed in it, lol. Great topic 👍

[@philthelawnman]

No. See most of the turfgrass we use is actually a invasive species from some other region.

[@rustycrowe3616]

I have purple flowering weeds all over my my lawn with a dozen other kinds. Put out some weed and feed but just found out that doesn’t work. What do I need to spray on it? T

[@philthelawnman]

2 4 D you must apply it at around 1.5 ounces per 1000 square feet if a 1% mix in the sprayer. Learn how long it takes to spray one gallon and the you have to walk the 1000 square feet In the gallon time. Temperatures affect the activity. Your Diluent must be able to carry the 2. 4. D also do not put 2 4 D on new grass till it has reached its mowing height and been cut 3 times. Now it sounds like you have a crop of hobbit wich is a annual. Preemergant in the late fall is best long term control. Hope that helps.

I used prodiamine on my lawn this month which is March.what would be a good herbicide to use for the next month?

[@onthelawntraining5205]

How much prodiamine wdg do you recommend putting down per 1000sqf in the fall to get better control throughout the fall and winter?

[@lawncarelife]

1.15 lbs. I believe that is half the annual rate

[@RavensHardCore]

Awesome video! Thank you Jason!!

[@davetires7300]

THANX JASON 👍🤓🇺🇸 Great Vlog Sir

[@peteg9396]

That torpedo grass is from Asia.

[@Happy32153]

@have fenced area that’s literally all poa. I have no idea what I have in front yard. Closest I can come up with is Fescue Clump like weeds taking over. Any ideas appreciated!

[@leemikle2242]

Ever consider smoking it completely off, power rake it, airerate it, overseed, and water? Might be easier going that route if you can tolerate a month of an eyesore lawn until the new stuff germinates.

[@Happy32153]

@@leemikle2242 that’s exactly what I did. Planting with peat moss, compost, and micro nutrients a week before some rain and hopefully a wetter season 🤞

[@leemikle2242]

@@Happy32153 good job sir. I treated my lawn with spray and 90% has rapid weed death, 10 percent I’ll reapply after a few weeks. If the weeds still hold out I’m going to square out an area and kill everything and start over like you did. Hope your yard looks at minimum twice a good as it did!!!

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Jason, I'm in Tuscaloosa, AL. My lawn front and back is full of every southern weed known to the lawn care industry. I've got lots and lots of poa(?) in the backyard which I think is a nice Bermuda grass lawn w/o the poa. I'm originally from the Chicago area (KY Bluegrass is what grows in that northern climate well) so southern weed killing is new to me. What do I use to start killing some of these weeds? I put Imagine down front and back in the fall and I think it did nothing. Wrong product completely?? Any advice you can give me would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@lawncarelife]

Most of the weeds in your lawn now are going to die out on their own about May. The problem is a whole new batch of Summer weeds are coming. Typically you need to put a pre-emergent out in January or February. You can try it now and it will help but it's possible that you've already missed the window and some of the crab grass and other summer weeds have already germinated. A pre-emergent application in September will greatly reduce the amount of weeds you have in your lawn next spring

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Thank you Jason. Lawn care and timing are a different than what I'm use to doing. Yep, I thought I screwed up already. The entire neighborhood is a weedy mess though so that doesn't help either. Thanks again.

[@lambert1702]

Jason, did you use methylated seed oil with the quinclorac on the torpedo?

[@lawncarelife]

I'm pretty sure I did. It's been about 5 years ago but I think the label on Drive XLR8 emphasizes using MSO

[@sinshoe5870]

Virginia Buttonweed is a pain for me.

[@lawncarelife]

That's a tough one. I use blindside. Change up is also a good option

[@TheGrassFactor]

👏👏👏

[@lawncarelife]

Good to hear from you

[@richardsmith1161]

I think these big box weed control over promise. Spectracide says 470 weeds. To me that would cover all of them. It doesn't come close.

[@lawncarelife]

It might cover 470 weeds but just not the five that are in a lot of people's lawns

[@wayneblanchard4347]

Another informative video. Thank you. In California, there is a significant demand for organic weed control. From what I have learned, organic post emergent products are essentially pricey, not-that-effective desiccants. No organic pre-emergents on the radar. Furthermore, the Round Up controversy is feeding the weed infestation problem. We are in a quandry out here. Lots of very strong feelings/fears about inorganics. Would really appreciate your thoughts about organics.

[@lawncarelife]

I imagine the market for Organics is much different in California than here in Alabama

[@wayneblanchard4347]

@@lawncarelife Probably is much different. Inorganic pesticide use is getting restricted. Turfgrass installs are getting restricted due to increases in demands on water supply. Housing density is essentially removing landscape areas that would get weed infested. It's a big deal. When I see your expanses of turfgrass. It's almost like another planet.

[@steveupton7996]

Some lawns here in the panhandle of florida wouldn't be lawns at all if weren't for torpedo grass 😂 I sterilize my equipment after servicing torpedo !!!

[@lawncarelife]

Torpedo grass is nasty. Do you have any ideas how to get rid of it?

[@steveupton7996]

@@lawncarelife only success stories I have involve glyphosate and some collateral damage and rebuilding . I spent years pulling those roots as part of my chores as a kid they are uncontrollable 🙂
