[@billyjohnas2652]

don't take this the wrong way but you, youtubers make these videos every year say stuff like "want a weed free lawn" put a pre emergent down and everything will be perfect which is the farthest thing from the truth. you and I both know it only stops maybe 3 different weeds and that's all. when I first started doing my own lawn I fell for it then a few months later I'm wondering why there's weeds all over the place.

[@billyjohnas2652]

now all that being said you are a great person for the community and do great videos and help alot of people

[@RonHenry]

@@billyjohnas2652 I apply pre-emergent twice per year billy. Once in the spring and once in the fall. I don't have weed problems in my lawn. Outside of perhaps sedges in areas that see a lot of settled water, you shouldn't have weeds in your lawn if you apply pre-emergent properly. Thanks for watching.

[@RonHenry]

@@billyjohnas2652 Appreciate it sir.

Are you able to do lawn care without chemicals? 😮

[@rcytb]

The signal-to-noise ratio of your videos surpasses everything out there - and you presume that we are able to think. Thanks very much.

[@RonHenry]

I appreciate it!

[@gergemall]

Question Ron . 1. Can zoysia grass be over seeded ?

[@RonHenry]

I’ve seen it overseeded with Rye, Jon. Unless you’re willing to spray it out in the spring, I wouldn’t do it.

[@Mark.thy.Plumbr]

How about Tenacity?

[@RonHenry]

Good product for cool season grass. I would use it as a post-emergent unless you're planning to seed in the next few weeks

[@leeroyjenkins422]

Great Video!

[@RonHenry]

Glad you enjoyed it LeeRoy!

[@CypherByt3]

can i use food coloring to the mix to mark where i am spraying?

[@RonHenry]

I would just use turf mark. It’s not that expensive. golfcourselawn.store/products/turf-mark-blue-spray-indicator-dye-1-quart

[@Oilhammer]

Hey Ron, really enjoy your videos and all the great info. I used Prodiamine full strength in Sept of last year, I'd like to apply a spring preemergent, I am in SE North Caroline with a centipede grass, would Atrazine liquid be ok to apply now, and use the Certainity and Celcius combo once it warms up a bit maybe in May or June? thanks again

[@RonHenry]

As long as Atrazine is safe on your grass type, your plan could work. Certainty and Celsius would work now too though. Hope this helps.

[@Ptro1]

Do you recommend a split application?

[@RonHenry]

I don’t do them Ptro. Have had great success with single app at higher rates

[@Ptro1]

@@RonHenry so you just do the max .83oz app rate in the spring? I’ve been doing half spring half fall. Might break the spring one and do two .183oz 6ish weeks apart

[@RonHenry]

I do .80 once this time of year and then switch to a different pre-emergent in the fall. If you’ve been having good results doing split apps then continue doing it. I’ve just not found it necessary to do multiple apps in the spring. Either way works.

[@johnstewart8183]

Question for anyone out there…..Mesotrione is half the cost of tenacity. Is that good enough for post emergent weeds, with surfactant? Thank You, J

[@RonHenry]

Appreciate you chiming in.

[@robertrainey906]

Great video Ron!

[@RonHenry]

Thanks Robert! Fun way to start the season.

[@larrybinetti603]

Would liquid Prodiamine effect rye grass after germination?

[@RonHenry]

It's best to not use pre-emergent on newly established cool season grass for at least 6 months.

[@jboy1757]

is there a prodiamine hose end sprayer version? Do you have a suggested hose end sprayer preemergent?

[@RonHenry]

It needs to be applied with a calibrated sprayer like a backpack sprayer. No hose end sprayer.

[@chrisSosa1]

If you plan on overfeeding do you recommend this? Or maybe next season?

[@chrisSosa1]

Over seeding ***

[@RonHenry]

If you’re going to overseed then no.

[@WhittyPics]

I've learned a lot from your videos Ron

[@RonHenry]

Appreciate you watching.

[@jeffpiendel1898]

Hey Ron, how you doing last year I reseeded, over seeded kbg section, a rye and kbg blend section, to test out , it took off great, still green from last year, I’m in Louisville Kentucky and I planted the seed in August September of last year. Do you still think I should forgo any pre-emergent this spring and just plan to use any weeds with a post application for crabgrass and if so what would you use? Thanks

[@RonHenry]

Given that you have cool season grass Jeff, I'd forego pre-emergent until the fall. For post emergent herbicide, I'd use Tenacity and Sedgehammer. Spot spraying weeds with that combination will clean up most of what you're likely to have in your lawn. Be sure to use surfactant with Tenacity for best results. Can get them here: golfcourselawn.store/collections/lawn-weed-killers

[@jeffpiendel1898]

Thanks for the quick response Ron appreciate your help. Love your videos, joyed talking to you last year too. I did get an real mower the one that uses the ego batteries wanted to see how I like the cut before I splurge for the big one like you have mines like the one you won! So with that being said, I did put in a little golf green with T1 bent grass in about a 10 inch of sand Pete mixture is the base came in wonderful now my question to you is, I heard that I cannot use tenacity on Bentgrass. I can use tenacity everywhere else, but just not on the gulf green. Do you happen to know of anything that I can use for weed control in Bent grass? I haven’t started cutting it low yet. I wanted it to come in thick. I’ll see if I can send a photo. Thanks.

[@RonHenry]

Look into this product Jeff. It specifically designed for bentgrass: ron-henry.com/trimec

Hello Ron. Long time no contact. I took hiatus from yard. Question. can I apply tenacity spot spray on tall fesque in high 59 degree to my POA annua to help slow seed growth until I do fall pre emergent to help eliminate it for next yr? Aware tenacity is pre emergent also and only suppression. 2 soon to spray 1 day prior to being 2 weeks from blanket pre emergent spray this month? Had Weedman do 2 so call post emergents Nov and dec last yr after aeration and reseed. Weedman claim illegal to spray POA for them until November which is too late by POA germination period. I am done with aeration this yr and plan to Reseed some spots this spring after reseed last yr didn’t fill all areas. POA took up most of the bare spots. 28 days from this yr pre emergent safe to reseed ?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Eric. Tenacity in 59 degree weather should be fine. If you’re spacing out the Tenacity application 28 days from when you plan to seed, that should work well. Really after 3 weeks you should be good. If you’re using it for post-emergent purposes, use surfactant with it for best results. If using for pre-emergent in seeding prep, then you’d water it in. Hope this helps.

[@ericb2861]

@@RonHenry well the POA is very active so it’s really a post emergent even thou bottle says it’s not for POA. I just thought if I spot spray only the poa I don’t have to mow down the seed as often until it die in summer. I plan to reseed very soon in bare areas where I don’t put tenacity. So I count 28 days from pre emergent for general yard blanket spray Feb 6th not from today for spot tenacity POA spray to reseed ? Make sense?

Any time Mac! Thanks for watching.

[@timjackson5103]

Good morning. Did you know if you take the spray tip, turn it upside down and turn the t jet itself toward the ground it sprays forward and down not back and down. Keeps it off your feet.

[@RonHenry]

Heya Tim. That’s a great tip. I usually turn the spray tip down and hold the wand sideways. That way it sprays directly down keeping it off your feet. Your method is better. 🙏😎

[@AlexB-bb5mm]

Thanks for the video. One thing I try to remember is to water it in so that it can get into the soil. I don't have a pack pack sprayer, so I use a pump sprayer.

[@RonHenry]

Great point Alex. Pre-emergent needs to be watered in after application.

[@AlexB-bb5mm]

Hey, Ron. Ever since I started watching your channel I started to enjoy putting liquid pre emergent down more. Thanks for getting me into taking care of my lawn and trying to keep it as weed free as possible.

[@ChefboyarE]

Hi @RonHenry so if you use the max yearly amount in the early spring does that mean you skip a fall application? Or do you use another product when applying in the fall to keep weeds out all winter?

[@RonHenry]

I use a different preemergent in the fall

[@Alejandro_C62]

Specticle G down at 4.6lbs/1k. I did full rate of The Andersons Barricade (0.48% prodiamine) last Feb and it ran out around Sept. I’m in TX gulf coast, zone 9A. Probably going to do another 4.6lbs/1k in March.

[@RonHenry]

Nice Alejandro.

[@shanerahimi1117]

Hey Ron. If I applied liquid prodiamene at the full rate in the fall, should I use something different this spring? I’m in the Augusta Ga area with builder grade Bermuda grass.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Shane. Yep. If you applied prodiamine at full rate in the fall, I'd switch to dithiopyr in the spring. We just got it back in stock here: golfcourselawn.store/products/0-0-7-dithiopyr-172-pre-emergent-herbicide-with-fertilizer Let me know if you need anything else.

[@praveenalackal]

Ron, I'm from Cumming,GA. Based on your instruction planning to apply pre-emergent this week. I watched your other video of mixing image with prodamine to control poa annua. Last year i struggled with poa annua. But as of today, i havent seen any poa annua yet but it may pop up once its warmer. Is it still ok to apply IMAGE in order to prevent poa annua? Or only required to apply oncei see the them? Also, do you sugguest doing a split treatment for prodamine or applying it now all at once for a season is more effective? As always tour videos are superb. Keep up the good work.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Praveen. It's not going to hurt to put a little image in the tank. I don't personally do split applications but that doesn't mean it's the only way. Many people do split apps and have great results with it. Either way works well. I've had great results from a single application in the spring and another in the fall. Hope this helps.

[@praveenalackal]

@@RonHenry 👏👏. You're the best Ron.

[@Wildpony98]

Last spring I used a pre emergent and feel I stunned a bunch of my previous fall's late to germinate KYB. I re planted several areas this past fall 2022 that was just starting to come up. Would it be better to use a post emergent and fight the weeds early summer to give the new KYB a chance to get going ?

[@RonHenry]

Yes Wildpon98. For cool season grass, fight weeds with post-emergent herbicide the first year vs. using using pre-em. Hope this helps.

[@Phxphenom]

So when shall I apply the preemergent? At what ground temperature or what is the basic rule of thumb? I had huge spurge problems the last 2 Summers that I hope to not have in 2023. Thanks, Marc

[@RonHenry]

Marc F!!! You didn’t watch till the end. 😂 I show that in the video. It’s before soil temps are consistently in the mid 50s. Good rule of thumb is if you’re in the southeast US, early Feb.

[@thereelryan]

Thanks for the detailed info Ron! Do you apply a fall app of another pre emergent or only the 1 full app of prodiamine?

[@RonHenry]

In the fall I’d switch to a different pre-emergent. Spectacle Flo is about as good as you can get for warm season grass: amzn.to/3HL7vXV

[@billy2bob63]

I think your application rate is too low! My mix rate is 1.25 oz to a gallon of water for a 8 month application. Prodiamine has become to expensive now to use for the value so I will be going back to Lesco PREm since I can get twice the coverage for around the same price. I'm comparing PREm 2.5 gallon container to a 5lb container of prodiamine.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Kerry. Per the label it's .83 oz per gallon per 12 months for Bermuda. It may have changed but that's what it was the last time I looked at it. Not sure what the active ingredient is (and concentration) of the Lesco product you're using. If you'e getting good result, stick with it though. Appreciate you watching sir! 😎

[@billy2bob63]

@RonHenry Sorry I looked again it's 20oz to 25 gallons of water so .83 is correct!
