[@vinh1360]

I appreciate your video about this topic sir, I have a yard that I recently put down some fertilizer but not weed and feed and now I have an entire Bermuda lawn full of weeds. I just had the lawn cut today so I’ll water the grass in on my auto sprinkler which starts at around 4am and put down the Scott’s weed and feed in the morning. Thanks for the tips again sir!

[@noninoni9962]

I had one of those know-it-all neighbors who argued up and down with me over putting Weed & Feed on grass that I purposely sprayed with the hose to moisten prior to application, and a light watering after 3 days later, then a good soaking rain for an hour the following day... She's an Old School "Expert" (about EVERYTHING, I might add) with a lawn that's ONLY green because it's nothing BUT weeds... LOL... She had it drilled into her head, so she told me, "You don't put down fertilizer until after there's no chance of rain for at least 48 hours, so you don't water it either." I said, "It's 'Weed & Feed', and I'm following the directions on the package."

I get the same thing, then I see I’m following the directions, lol 😆

March 18th, I applied Lesco pre emergent 19 0 7 . The bag was ripped so I got it 50 percent off in the store and didn't have to pay 54 bucks. Although the outside temperature was 60 degrees i didn't check the soil temperature. That night it dropped to 40 degrees and I suspect that is why I have a green lawn but weeds.

Great Job very informative BYD 🤙🏽💯

[@lamcarter]

I always tell my folks to use both a weed & feed (primarily as a pre-emergent) and at the same time, apply Ortho Weed B Gone (as a post emergent). This is easy to get at most home centers and any market with a garden department and works great for the beginner. After they get the hang of that, they can start applying more advanced ferts, like iron and the more advanced herbicides like prodiamine, Tzone, tenacity and sedgehammer.

[@marienelson8070]

Are you saying to put both the pre as post emergent down at the same time? Not sure, I’m an amateur

How about the grass clippings after the first application? I realize you mentioned bagging the weeds in this video. I would just like some clarifcation...don't mulch grass clippings onto lawn after first application, right?

[@GodFearingGamer]

Should I be using the entire bag on one application? I have a 5000sqft bag

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Some people recommend using Preemergent every 6 weeks as well as fertilizer to stop new seeds from neighbors and storms that get in your yard. How do you feel about that?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Not a fan of every six weeks because it just to much work. The most I go is 4 times a season. But if this you own lawn then experiment to see results. Other than that I’d go by what the product label 🏷 says to be safe 👍🏾 watch my latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqHHi3eQisqIb9U
