This was a great video, Ron. Most people prolly won't appreciate how much prep work happened before you even began filming. You had to memorize application rates, times and methods, etc. Plus, you managed to convey all of that information to us viewers... unscripted and on camera. Oh, did I mention that you did all of that while spraying pre-emergent while walking at a quick pace. All in a single take! I don't know how you manage to walk and chew gum at the same time...but wow, impressive. A++👍

[@RonHenry]

Really appreciate it LG. I had it all scripted and then reviewed a bunch of times before filming. Still it’s not easy to do when there are all kinds of application rates and other numbers to keep track of. I’m glad that it came out ok. Appreciate you watching and the support man. 👍😎

Great job Ron! Wish you had spiked some image, monument or negate in with that Prodiamine. Alex has a poa infestation by the patio thats gonna look really unsightly come March/April. Also an alternative strategy that will yield better results is to do 2 or 3 split apps between the fall and spring say 0.3Oz/1000 in October and another 0.3Oz/1000 in Mid Feb and March.

[@RonHenry]

Oh don’t you worry. That poa is about to be dealt with. I just didn’t want to make things too complicated for someone wanting to spray pre M for the first time. A lot of people are intimidated by mixing products so tried to keep it as simple as possible. Will probably hit the poa with image later this week. 👍😎 Thanks for watching man.

🌞Great video! Can't believe we hit 70 today already in January. Does your FlowZone come with a droplet style tip? In the past, I've always liked the fan style Teejet to get a fuller coverage since it gets watered in anyway. That 25 degree tip you were using looked like it gave good coverage.

[@RonHenry]

Heya Sunny. Hopefully the 70 degree weather is a sign of things to come! 😎Nope. No droplet style tip. You can certain get one but it's not included. I think the droplet tip matters more when you're not heavily watering in the product. If I showed you a pic of Alex's lawn now, you'd have a hard time knowing that anything was applied to it. The product has been washed down. The 25 degree tip did a good job. It's a good balance in my opinion. Thanks for watching man.

[@RonHenry]

Good question Eric. If it's a small amount I wouldn't worry about it. It's not going to change the application rate of the next mix by that much.

[@aswartha007]

Great Information.... Short, Detail and Precise.... Thank you!!! I have a cool season grass and since an year got into maintaining grass myself and got good results last year. This year wanted to start off with preemergent when soil temps are about 50F, quick question, I wanted to detach and aerate would this disrupt the pre-emergent barrier, if so would you please provide tips how to accomplish?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Aswartha. aerating and dethatching will disturb the barrier which will reduce the effectiveness of the pre-emergent. It's still very much worth doing though you'll likely see a few weeds here and there. What I'd recommend is going ahead with your pre-emergent and do a good job watering it in after application. Ideally at least .5" of water. Worst case you can always follow up with a post-emergent if you start getting too much weed pressure. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support. 👍😎

Mr. Ron, I scalped my lawn yesterday with a rotary mower an I collected at least 2 full bags of dead grass. Although I don’t own a reel mower yet, I love the height of the Bermuda and I have a little life of it coming out of dormancy! My question is, will my lawn green up at this height if I continue to cut it this low? During the spring I usually have my mower height at 5 ( rotary mower), cause it is so green and thick! Your advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again sir

[@RonHenry]

Hi John. Once temps get consistently higher, the Bermuda will come out of dormancy and green up. While scalping isn't strictly necessary you tend to get green up 2 - 3 weeks sooner than if you had not scalped. If the lawn is getting nice and green with the mower height set to 5 I'd leave it there if you're happy with how it looks. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Ron! It's early May, and I just started studying your videos and website. Hopefully, by next year, I'll be better at your schedule thats on your site. I have tall fescue and live in south western KY. I dethatched, aerated, overseeded, and and top dressed last week. 7 days after a monsoon came and washed my yard out🤦🏻‍♂️. I'll not be discouraged and stick to schedule and look forward to overseeding in September. That just means I can focus on everything else you've said to do. My question is this. What can I do for weed Control since I'm not attacking them in March like I should have but I didn't know anything until I found your videos in mid-April. Thank you for your time, and I'm sorry for the long post. I just wanted to give you as much data as possible so you can hit me with your best advice.

[@Tedanthonyrogers]

I watched another video. Would the answer be tenacity and surfactant?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Ted. Depends on the weeds you’re targeting. Tenacity and Sedgehammer take care of most weeds in cool season lawns. You might be able to get by with Triad but be careful of temps when you spray it.

[@neverstopneverstopcruising]

Great video! If the schedule to follow was once in spring and once in fall we would use .4 ounce per 1000 sq.ft rule correct? Assume applying in March, that would get me to September?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Never Stop Cruising. You'd only apply .40 in the fall if you applied .40 this spring. Your total allotment is .83 per 1000 square feet for the year. This is assuming you're dealing with warm season grass. If you apply in March that should take care of the spring into early summer. Pre-emergent is going to substantially reduce the number of weeds you'll have to deal with. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Hey Mr Ron, John Gotch again! If I continue continue cutting my lawn at 3 ( rotary mower), will my Bermuda green up and get thick like when I was cutting at 5 ( rotary mower)? Thanks again sir! Keep your videos coming, I watch all your videos as much as I listen to Dave Ramsey on podcast! Thanks again sir

[@RonHenry]

Hi John. How tall is your grass when you set your mower to height 3? Bermuda thrives at 1.5" and lower. If you're using a rotary mower, I would aim for a height of cut between 2" - 1.5" to prevent issues with scalping. Keep in mind that the lower you go, the more often you'll have to mow. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

[@johngotch5210]

Thanks again sir! I will definitely be in touch soon!

[@maggarlion]

I am putting down Prodiamine at the ending of Cotober depending on the weather. I did some reseeding in late August/ early Sept which means i have to wait. I am determined not to allow crab grass to take over my lawn like it did this season. I was away out of the country this early spring and by the time I came back it was too late to add Preemergent.

[@RonHenry]

Sounds like a plan. To prevent crabgrass next year, you'll want to apply pre-emergent early next spring.

@@RonHenry Ok thank you I will wait. I dont want to get ahead of myself but I cant have that for next yr.

[@3125Dissent]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Great presentation and content. One quick question -- what do you use if you're early in the season and you see some weeds coming up. I am planning on using a tenacity/surfactant/lazer mixture to knock out what is already up, but I don't know how to stage the timing with using a pre-emergent. For reference, I am around the mason dixon line, and I have 100% Kentucky bluegrass.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Patrick. Tenacity is a good choice for KBG. If you haven't applied your pre-emergent as yet, I'd do that. It's important for keeping spring and summer weeds away. The timing with pre-emergent doesn't really matter. Pre-emergent is really for future weed control while tenacity is for targeting current weeds. You could apply both on the same day if you wanted. Different goals.. 😎

[@service2Him]

Ron, discovered your channel looking for the best yard sprayer and came across your video on $15 nozzle replacement, which lead me to the "Don't buy this..." weed killer and so on, until I've seen about 5 in a row, many repeated.

[@RonHenry]

Hi service2him. Are you sure they’re lizards and not moles? Either way, I’d take a multi-step approach to it. Eliminate their food source and apply something to repel them. To get rid of their food source and lawn damaging insects (grubs, and turf caterpillars), use Acelepryn G: golfcourselawn.store/products/acelepryn-g-insecticide-grub-and-armyworm-control To repel the lizards, try this product: ron-henry.com/lizardrepellant Hope this helps.

So Ron , just did prodiamine today down in south of Houston. Might b a little early but a local dude on radio said he said go for it so I did. So does 2.7 pound per 1000 really gonna do the job. Sure seem like not to much. My yard looks horrible with brown patch and hibernation I wonder if I should hit milo now too?

[@RonHenry]

I think you're fine James. Depending on which product you applied, 2.7 lbs per 1000 square feet is on the lower end, but should still work. For example this product: golfcourselawn.store/products/yard-mastery-0-0-7-prodiamine-38-45lb has a minimum app rate of 2lbs per 1000 square feet. I wouldn't apply milo for brown patch. The product I'd use for brown patch and other lawn fungus is Headway G. It's not cheap, but it's an excellent fungicide. ron-henry.com/headwayg I'd wait until next month to apply Milo.

Not too late at all Tara. You might not get 100% effectiveness but it will DEFINITELY be better than had you not applied anything. If you're looking to go liquid then this video is a great guide. An easier method is to put down granular pre-emergent.

Hi Ron, Just found your channel and like the content. I’m in upstate NY. Last spring I had a pretty bad crabgrass issue on one side of my yard. I have liquid Prodiamine 65WG and granular Anderson Barricade. I plan on doing a split application once our soil temps hit 50-55. I’ve never used a liquid PE and not that comfortable applying it but want to give it a shot. Your content is very helpful- thank you! Do you suggest the first application to be liquid or granular? I do have irrigation so can water in. And, if I decide not to do the liquid app, would I still get the same results with two applications of the granular Barricade?

[@RonHenry]

Hi VR. You can get great results with granular and liquid. If applied properly, liquid likely has more even coverage than granular. It's tough to beat the ease of application that comes with a granular though. :-) I'm glad the video is helpful with you applying liquid prodiamine. It's really not that difficult if you measure accurately and ensure you're applying the product at a rate of 1 gallon per 1000 square feet. Thanks for watching.

You usually can. Would have to do a jar test to be 100% certain. You definitely don’t want to mix an entire tank of the blend only to find out it clogs up the sprayer. I’ve not mixed CarbonPro with pre-emergent. I know it plays nice with fertilizer and PGR.

If it's light rain to where there's no much risk of falling you can Andy. There's not really a negative to doing this outside of it being a bit messy.

Does prodiamine prevent the spread of stolens in cool season lawns

[@RonHenry]

If applied at label rates, there shouldn't be adverse effects.

[@rvnot1one1]

How much was the battery sprayer?

[@RonHenry]

Hi rvnot1one1. You can see the current price here: amzn.to/31eSw2x The price varies but usually around $305 shipped. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 😎👍

[@liemnguyen5264]

If you use the max which is .80 oz, then you only need to do this "once per year"? That's great idea for the lazy homeowners like me. Thanks,

[@RonHenry]

Yes. I would apply a different pre-emergent in the fall though. golfcourselawn.store/pages/365-day-lawn-care-schedule#n-5

[@blackhornet25]

Will there be any turf damage if you exceed the maximum application rate of prodiamine

[@RonHenry]

Excess Prodiamine will stunt root growth. Bermuda is pretty hardy so it’ll likely be fine. I wouldn’t overapply though. There are regulations on how much can be applied bee year. Just switch to dythiopyr in the fall is what I’d recommend.

[@blackhornet25]

@@RonHenry Thank you for the reply. I currently use barricade by Anderson's. Any recommendations for dythiopyr?

[@RonHenry]

Do you prefer a liquid or granular?

[@blackhornet25]

@@RonHenry granular

[@RonHenry]

@@blackhornet25 This is a good option in a granular. Normally it's more pricey than this. The nice thing about dithiopyr is you get both a pre and post emergent in one product. You pay for it though: amzn.to/3oirpMO Let me know if I can help with anything else.

[@JordanRN77]

Ron, I have a very small lawn 2000sq ft. If I used .40oz of Prodiamine to do a split application for the spring/fall. Would I measure out .80oz in 2 gallons of water? Also, since it is my first time ever applying pre-emergent can I dilute .80oz in 3 gallons of water just to make sure I applied it evenly?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Jordan. Yep. That's correct. If you're doing a split app, you can go half rate now and the other half in April. .40 per gallon of water for warm season grass. You can definitely do .80 in 3 gallons of water but then you need to be applying 1.5 gallons per 1000 square feet. That should work out just fine. The extra water isn't going to hurt anything.

Hi Ron henry, what herbicide should I apply for paspalum hybrid lawn? Thanks in advance:)

[@RonHenry]

Hi Angelo. You can apply prodiamine. It comes in both liquid and granular form with granular being easier for most people. Granular: golfcourselawn.store/products/yard-mastery-0-0-7-prodiamine-38-45lb Liquid: golfcourselawn.store/products/prodiamine-65-wdg-pre-emergent-herbicide Hope this helps.

Ron has anyone asked or noticed the Poa next to the concrete patio if that’s what it is. Have Alex get on that ASAP or his yard will be all green like mine was last year. I don’t wish that on anyone. It hard and expensive to get rid of and prodiamine didn’t help.

Hey Ron, i have 2 spots at my backyard, that doesn’t have much sunlight during the day, my house shade. I dont have trees around but those areas its always high moisture. And im having moss issues that lime its not solving, any advices?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Eudes. Hmmm.. With the area not getting a lot of sunlight and retaining moisture, it's going to be tough to keep the moss away. Assuming the soil pH isn't way out of line we can try this product from Scotts: amzn.to/3qPGO8R If you prefer the hose end version, there's this one: amzn.to/3a2eLMN Does it get better once there's more heat in spring and summer months?
