How To Stop Weeds Before They Start

[@doghouse010]

You gotta find a winter topic cause your voice should be narrating / teaching all year long!!

I would love to find a topic to talk about in the winter time. I may have to look into something

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you I'm glad to be back, Yea sometimes it just takes time for the weed killer to get working. I give the weed control atleast a week before I take further action.

[@enickasmith4223]

I have been researching St. Augustine grass and trying to figure out how to fix our grass. We bought our house last year and since it was going into the fall we left the yard alone. We also got a dog. We had a winter freeze and after that we noticed patches and no matter what we do nothing. Our whole neighborhood has the same dead grass. I love watching your videos because they're simple. Believe it or not we started with the fingicide and then the weed stop along with the fertilizer and our grass is bouncing back. My only question is what's a good routine? When Spring is coming into bloom, what's a good routine? When going into winter, what's a good routine? Througout the summer whats a good routine? Thaks for sharing your videos. I really appreciate them.

[@LawnAmateur]

A good routine for Spring, Summer and Early Fall is to Fertilizer, Mow frequently, and Water your lawn those are the basics to growing and promoting a healthy strong lawn. Once you get this routine down the lawn will be 10x better off this alone. Thank you for your support

[@gergemall]

@@LawnAmateur thank you.

[@greggjacobson840]

Maaaaaaan, it is great to see your face and hear your voice once again!! Thank you for all that you do for us. I do have a question for you. How long after you spray the product should we wait to do over seeding and spot seeding? Thank you soooo much in advance and i look forward to following this seasons journey.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you I'm glad to be back in the lawn I would wait atleast a week after you spray to reseed or overseed the lawn. Thanks for tuning back in and supporting me I appreciate it

[@appiconll]

It's crazy that I just used the orange cap Spectracide. I put it in a spray bottle to get good mist, and it stuck to the weeds really well. It was like water on a waxed car. By the time I finished the last part, the first part was dry.

[@appiconll]

Temperature was 59° now 77° and I can tell it's working already. The weeds are turning colors, and it's been only four hours as I type. Using on tall fescue blend in DC.

[@LawnAmateur]

Yea spectracide is good stuff and cheap. Its one of the best weed killers on the big box shelves

To make sure you get the correct Dawn dishwashing detergent, always look for the one that has the animal on the label. In this case a duck. That shows that it's what they use to clean the animals in an oil spill. Just an easy way to remember it.

Thats Correct

[@thegrassgardener]

@Lawn Amateur, the section were you said doesn’t grow grass have you tried digging the soil out to see what’s underneath? You might have some rocks or other unwanted materials like plastic underneath there causing that problem.

[@LawnAmateur]

You're absolutely right. I have these big trees that root underneath the ground into my yard and it burns out my grass every year in certain areas

You recommend cutting grass before starting weed control in yard or spray n lay out bag then cut?

I like to trim the 2 days before applying weed control to get the lawn to a decent manageable height

[@lawnsandmore925]

Hey, nice video do you have any other suggestions to kill weeds? I have a front yard full of tall weeds that’s mixed in mulch with no weed barrier. What can I use to kill the weeds fast and safe for kids

[@LawnAmateur]

There's really no organic weed killer on the market besides a product by doctor earth but that'll kill weeds and grass. Spectracide will kill the weeds without harming the grass you just need to stay off the treated area for 48 hours. I have two dogs both 9 years old and I use this and they're both healthy.

[@losmosismedia3380]

TY SO MUCH. QUESTION? I HAVE A DOG. WHEN IS IT SAFE FOR HIM TO WALK ON THE GRASS AND WHEN CAN I START RESEEDING? ANY SAFE ALTERNATIVES FOR PETS? GREAT VIDEO. TY AGAIN.

[@LawnAmateur]

I use these products on my grass and I have 2 dogs. You just have to wait 24-48 hours for pets and people to reenter the lawn. There are no safe alternatives that I know. Wait 5-7 days before reseeding the Yard after spraying. Don't use the granular product if you're planning to reseed because it'll stop seed from germinating. Thank you I'm glad I could help

Great video man!! I used the the post emergent about a week ago and it worked out great a lot of the weeds are turning yellow 👍🏻 have you try reseeding after using this ? I read in the instructions to do it in about a month just not sure if any grass will grow after applying this. Amateur here 😅

[@quatechiadolford3282]

Question 🙋🏾‍♀️: but a little background info first… we bought a new construction a few years ago they used Bermuda sod initially (I think). But now my lawn is ALL weeds. Now if I use the hose end stuff… can expect my whole lawn to turn brown? But after that, does the grass typical grow in or will I have to plant new grass 🤔

[@LawnAmateur]

This will not harm the Bermuda grass if you apply it right. This will just kill the weeds

[@sherrygraham9425]

Are you sure this spray won't kill Bermuda or st augustine?

[@LawnAmateur]

You can't use this one on St Augustine. And I believe you can use this on Bermuda grass. Just please read the label to make sure

[@zookey93]

Is the spray form safe to spray on marathon-II grass? That’s what I have but I noticed that there is some crab grass and other weeds growing.

[@LawnAmateur]

That grass type is not labeled specifically on spectracide bottle by name but that grass type is labeled as a tall fescue and tall fescue is labeled on the spectracide bottle. So I would say it should be able to handle that grass type but before any major treatment I would test out a small spot in the yard first before going all in on the majority of the yard to make sure. I hope this helped and I'm not sorry that I couldn't give you a definite answer.
