Grassy Weed Identification (1 of 2)

[@rafaelfematt7650]

Very helpful, finally a good description of the most common weeds found in lawns, the third video could be about the recomended herbicides and best time to apply for each type.

Thank you! I’ve been meaning to ask my viewers for suggested content, so thank you for your comment! Feel free to request more!

Great information! I have a 2 acre yard here in south Mississippi and it is about 60% centipede and 40% carpet grass. When I consisently mow my grass the carpet grass is an ok lawn although I would rather have all centipede. My only option would be to spray my carpet grass with celsius and make a huge mess. Do you find with carpet grass if it is properly maintained is a decent southern grass? Thanks and keep the videos coming.

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

The main “negative” I am currently aware of with carpetgrass is its appearance versus other turf types. If you like the look I’d say stick with it. Carpetgrass can tolerate poor soil conditions so if it’s taking over, I’d let it.

[@jonathanlucas3342]

I know you were referring to a Bermuda lawn here, but for those of us with centipede does Sethoxydim do a good job of suppression or control of Dallisgrass? I’ve gotten an infestation of it and didn’t want to go the glysophate route if I could help it.

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Gly is the only thing that I know of that controls/eradicates it. Best case scenario for Sethoxydim on Dallis in centipede would be suppression.

@@weedwarriorsllc4301 Being retired I have plenty of time so I went on a mission to eradicate the Dallis grass in my 2arce yard. I tried all the chemicals suggested through my research as a home owner, I am not suggesting everyone do this. I waited for a good rain so the ground would be soft and then went through the yard and dug up each plant, I ended up with 9 wheel borrows of the nasty stuff. The small holes left will for the most part fill back in naturally. This is a fall project certainly not during the summer. If it is cool outside and the soil is soft along with a good quality shovel it is not as bad as you would think.

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

@@shanewhittemore Thanks for the comment. If the surrounding turfgrass has time & temperatures to fill back in in time then the shovel method is certainly one to consider. Just need to always be mindful of how to keep the dallis from coming back. Bermuda will need pre emerge. Other turf types with thicker canopies can prevent it naturally.

[@sethi100]

Thx. Now more confused. I have a grass or a weed I can’t figure out. I dont think it’s Bermuda. It might be crabgrass might be a type of fescue. My lawn is a blend of 4 - pine bluegrass, red fescue, small fescue & purple stipa. I tried google images, but still not 100% certain.

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Sometimes the more you know the more confusing it gets. But the more you know the less ignorant you are also. Ignorance is not always so bliss.

I have got a huge problem with Lespedeza! Any tips on how to kill it?

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Are you a homeowner or a professional? And what type of turf do you have?

[@craiglsu72]

@@weedwarriorsllc4301 homeowner and St Aug! I had Centipede and that’s where the problem started so now the Lespedeza is out of control. I had a lawn care service for a couple of years and they pretty much killed all my grass but now I’m doing it myself and last year I used a three-way with 24 D & that stunted it but now it’s pissed with vengeance. I’m about to try atrazine. I have a 4 gallon sprayer with 15,000 sq ft of yard!

Thanks for another really good video for our information - For me, nut sedge is the biggest heart breaker. Both parts of the video are very helpful. Thanks!

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Thank you sir! The nutsedge should be eliminated after our June and August sprays. The biggest problem with nutsedge in a lawn is that there is no economical way to prevent it. You just have to let it come up, then spray once or twice per year in the summer.

Thank you so much !

Very helpful! Thanks!

Really nice video thank you extremely informative!

[@RussMeister70]

Dallis grass and Bahia must be same family. The seed head isthe same

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Their seeds are very similar. However, Bahia has a very distinct V-shape. And Bahia’s root system is VERY different than dallis. I’ll do a video soon on those differences.

[@RussMeister70]

@@weedwarriorsllc4301 thanks I have several different grassy weeds and an trying to learn this. There is one that is a pretty green or blue green soft and spongy grows in clumps that spread out. I actually like the look. It's taking over a hill I dunno if I want to keep it for erosion or not. It's kind of pretty when full.

Why do people film with their cell phone vertically when they plan on putting it on KZbin??? 🤔😲🤣

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Because they’re amateur!!!

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

Getting better though!

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Whow

[@MB-np2ur]

because alot of us watch on cell phones, making it look better.

[@antwainmiller8286]

Why do be complain when they are getting free information… dummy. Great video man keep up the great work. This was very helpful.

[@krackbaby8517]

Good informative video but that’s not carpet grass

[@weedwarriorsllc4301]

It’s hard to not sound like a smart-elic over digital disagreements. So with a smile, and no smart-elicness, if you would like, I can email you more pictures of this carpetgrass patch. And in case it helps, there are multiple varieties of carpetgrass and so they don’t all look the exact same. I hope that helps.
