Pete, I'm glad you uploaded this video. I definitely overdid things when I sprayed my yard, and the fescue surrounding the over applied areas is suffering. Live and learn I guess. Thanks for the detail on the rates for the small sprayer

[@jasongrubb2279]

Looking forward to the adjuvant video. It's been the one product I don't know it's purpose. I've thought of it as a product to make herbicides stick to the plant, but it must be much more if it helps heat stess in summer. Can't wait.

[@stevenbrown6782]

Right on the money about to order meds for TTTF

[@ColonelK0rn1]

Very informative video Pete. To be honest, I absolutely didn't even think about pH for my herbicide applications. Would you consider doing a video with some explanation as to why that's necessary? I'm also looking forward to your video with your natural adjuvant.

[@robcorsino3512]

ColonelK0rn what's the purpose of dropping the pH? I never thought to look into that when applying

[@GCITurf]

That video is coming soon

[@GCITurf]

That video is coming soon

[@dailyDIYdude]

The P.H. is dropped because of the natural adjuvant he added. It has nothing to do with the actual herbicide. The adjuvant activates at a ph of 5

[@adamcamacho5675]

Great video Pete. Been watching you since 500 subscribers. Really awesome to see the growth of your channel. Quick question. How do surfactants come into play with this setup?

[@HeavyHittters4567]

Love your channel bud, good information. I live in West Texas and my yard has alot of calichi, I just built my house and my ground is so hard that I had to make the hole for my mailbox with a damn rock bar lol. So from watching your videos I will have to grow some Bermuda grass cause I have no trees. I would need dynamite to make a hole to plant a tree 😂. So my question is do you recommend to bring in some good dirt to lay my Sod down and what kind of dirt do you recommend. And do you think I should do a irrigation underground watering system instead of a sprinkler head system since my ground has alot of rock and calichi. Thank you .

[@patrickcarter2]

Hey Pete I got a lot of clover in my yard now in the fall. Is it a bad idea to treat it during this season? Should I just wait for spring?

[@mtufts1000]

If you get a bunch of clover I get spray but if you just got one little patch. It would be so much easier just to get down there and pull it out by hand. I get great satisfaction from pulling out those pesky weeds and throwing them on the driveway to shrivel up and drying out.

[@usmcfrommt9790]

mark tufts not sure what Pete will say. But I have had a nasty batch of clover that started as one bunch. Pulled it out by hand for two years. I think it must have an extensive root system because it came back stronger every year. Last year I finally got rid of it. Took numerous applications of selective herbicide and surfactant. I bet Pete’s adjuvant would have killed it in one dose. If that helps. Cheers.

[@GCITurf]

Spray it to control it

[@billhults8629]

Here's the gold. I knew I knew the answers to my own questions...

[@Jclose285]

I have a clover problem. That’s the first thing I need to take care of! Why is the natural adjutant not for sale in Tennessee? Will this work without it?

[@GogoCharli]

@GCI Turf Services : Hi, I live in central Florida with Zoysia grass, partially dominated by clover and other weeds(this spring is killing me). Recently I have been trying to fix it up and yes, my grass is reviving and growing greener, but not quite dense. Your awesome concoction of weed killer is meant for cool grass..., any tips for warm grass weed killer? thank you in advance :-) Love your channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge, Keep Up The Good Work!!

[@GCITurf]

Papi N Mami Celsius is a nice option

[@GogoCharli]

thank you for the prompt reply. God bless :-) I will keep watching & learning from you....

[@revd6239]

Is this Natural Adjuvant Starter Package still available?

[@donmacon3320]

Pete, you always have the most helpful videos. I’ve got a quick question for you, I’m removing zoysia from a lawn and decided to use a sod cutter after I sprayed glystar twice? What are my chances that when I reseed that any of that zoysia comes back? Any tips?

[@GCITurf]

did you allow the zoysia to die 100%? Is it super brown and crunchy? What time of the year did you spray the zoysia?

[@donmacon3320]

I sprayed about 3 weeks ago while dormant. And again once it had just started to green up. The lawn zoysia in my lawn isn’t a year old yet and the yard was to shady in my opinion for it so I’m going back to fescue. I could pull some of the full pieces up by hand and other pieces had started to take root. I just used the sod cutter down to 2 1/2” hoping to get it all I should have worded better but I sprayed it first when we had those 70-80 degree days here in NC and it started green up. Sprayed again three weeks later even though we have had some hard freezes the last week.

[@GCITurf]

You arent gonna alike what i say. You should have waited until end of july to spray the first spray then spray the 2nd time mid august. that sif you want a 100% kill. ( also seed fescue in the fall ) spring is the WORSE time to seed fescue. Its hard for me to answer this question. It really depends on how "alive" the zoysia was when you sprayed it. The plant has to be actively growing in order for round up to work 100%

[@donmacon3320]

GCI Turf Services Ok I think I understand that. At this point I’m gonna clean up the rest of the sod, perhaps wait a week to see if anything green pops up. Then cover with 1-2” of topsoil and reseed otherwise I would have a mud pit at the first rainstorm LOL Thank you for the honest advice it makes sense I just didn’t want the zoysia to spread or take root anymore than it already did.

[@GCITurf]

You may get away with it. Remove whats there...fertilize the bare dirt to see if you can stimulate more zoysia growth. then kill it if it comes back up

[@TheRealThaenatos]

Sadly I have 1.6 acres that needs a blanket spray...thankfully I have all my math and sprayer is calibrated thanks to the help from your sprayer videos you put out earlier this year. Tried what all of yall used for prememergent (prodiamine + rgs/sea kelp) and will try this soon too. How is this setup with blanket applications? Thinking Ill be doing this in a week as its been bellow average temps and cold

[@GCITurf]

This little sprayer is just for spot spraying. You need the 4G battery sprayer and my nozzle assembly if you want to do larger areas

[@TheRealThaenatos]

I have a 21g tow behind boon sprayer for my garden tractor that runs off the tractor battery. Easy as pie to calibrate with your method and first time out I ran out of liquid really close to the end of the run. Im wondering if the chemicals are good for blanket apps as this year is a rehab year for me.

[@GCITurf]

Absolutely they are

[@mck1914]

Pete, what about Alabama Bermuda

[@OldNorthStateJunkRemovalLLC]

Wow, that's some good stuff. Does it do anything on crabgrass?

[@GCITurf]

no

[@treymatlock3775]

Does this all work for warm season grasses too?

[@GCITurf]

I am no warm season expert friend. I would consult the label for triplet. I do know it does ok with bermuda...past that i am not sure sorry

[@Matt_spalding82]

Pete, I want two of those bad ass hats bro! How do I get them?

[@GCITurf]

scroll to the bottom of the website. you will find both sizes there. thanks!!! www.gciturfacademy.com/

[@bfly2362]

I am trying to decide how much natural adjuvant I need to purchase - I have a total of 28k sq ft-how much will I need per 1000 sq ft per year?

[@GCITurf]

1 pint covers 1 acre. you will be better off to buy the gallon size. thats right around the corner if you can wait :)

[@bfly2362]

sounds good-thanks

[@macylandscapingretired]

Guess that's why I have big bucks in my yard. LOL!

[@rangepro]

where is the academy web site?

[@GCITurf]

JohnD www.gciturfacademy.com/

[@Thisandthatdude]

What if I have a whole yard full of weeds?

[@GCITurf]

Follow either the cool season or Bermudagrass Reno guide depending the the desired turf you want - gciturfacademy.com/collections/diy-lawn-care-guides

[@laoboy316]

I just use dish soap for my adjuvant surfactant.

[@benharrison1069]

Nice video, Pete, for killing your clover. Obviously there are a myriad of types of weeds. Is this solution shown to kill all other weeds too? Just some of them? Just clover? I understand that with the right solution that it does not take much to kill the weed being targeted. I am wondering how many and what weeds the solution demonstrated will it kill? Thanks, Pete.

[@GCITurf]

Ben Harrison Most any spring time broadleaf weed you encounter. To my knowledge the only one that it does not control well is wild violet And hairy Bittercress

[@joemarchand8313]

All you need is Spectracide concentrate and an empty spray bottle. Mix your own, walk your yard, and spot-treat away. Been doing that for years, works like a charm.

[@TS-zo3uj]

jOE Marchand triplet dominates that Lowe’s crap. Compare the ingredients.

[@joemarchand8313]

And costs how many times more/unit? Besides, if you have that much of a weed problem, it's probably time to torch the yard and start over.

[@GCITurf]

Cost per 1000 is considerably cheaper.....considerably...thats why I use it :)

[@claytonpegram6035]

Pete have been messing you.I have a weed that I can not identify think it is a sadge not nut no triangle root not purple.White flat a v shape blade with a point.It's clumps a little bit it's more of a solid spread all over the front yard.I mow two days later it's taller than the grass.A little lighter green.Pull the root it looks like nuts did not see if it had nutlets.Has been getting more pronounced the last mouth.Spayed Speed zone two weeks ago with surfactant some damage but don't know what kind of weed it is.If you can take a quess with that info.I'll let you know what it is.Going this week to find out.If you get it Wright you are the man.Just kidding you the Man anyway!

[@KatrinaTrys]

If this stuff will kill a wild running rose, that I have been spraying EVERY YEAR & still greets me every late winter, I will take it! Lol...

[@GCITurf]

email me a pic of this weed you are talking about [e-mail]

[@americantroy77]

This video couldn’t be more on time

[@davesmith1888]

This really could have been a good video but it was terrible. For someone new looking to take care of weeds, you only described what one of the products does and thats it.
