Roughly one bag per 10,000 sq ft done once a month is what we are doing the first year.

Doc, I recently purchased the agri-fab spreader you recommend and preparing to put out the barricade-dg.

I haven't used this spreader yet, so i don't have a "feel" for it. thank you!

Grass was plagued last few years by crab grass and clover which are now under control, but the grass is weak in many areas....

Hey Doc. how many 40 LB bags of 101010 will you use on your front and back yards? I think I've heard you say you use a 50 LB bag of barricade on roughly 20,000 sq ft so 1 of 101010 front and back?

[@HowTowithDoc]

40 lb bag contains 4 lbs of N-P-K each. (the 10 is a percent) You want about 1/2lb per 1000 sq ft. so one 40 will treat 8000 sq feet.

@@HowTowithDoc Hey Doc. Much appreciated the reply! Helps a bunch! I've also heard you state in your pre emergent video on the barricade 50lb. bag doing roughly 20000 sq. ft? Is that a good fiqure to use or is that a light application? I ask due to having roughly 27000 sq ft and am thinking of using a bag a half over all but thought it may be too heavy? I used one bag on roughly 23000 sq ft last year and it did really well except for henbit which broke out heavily just recently. What are your thoughts and any suggestions?

Howdy Doc, I need Yer help Partner. I too tried to kill some weeds (some kind of nasty low growing vine type clover thing) in my Zoysia Grass over this warm wet winter... here in Virginia (King George, VA between DC & Richmond) but rain limited that effectiveness. Well I bought the Andersons Barricade 0.48% Pre-Emergent weed control. I suspect since my Zoysiagrass is the "dormant-tan" color & I can easily see those pesky green clover vine spreading things & this Barricade can't help with that. WHAT would you recommend for killing those tough low growing small clover vine weeds ??? All my neighbors have these weeds too and they do seem to make my Zoysiagrass struggle! By the way, late spring & later summer I used PGF Complete & Humic DG... in the fall I also did another application of the Andersons Humic DG too.

Hey Doc/Doc fans, pre emergent product question for y’all. I have about 5k sq feet of Bermuda. If I do the split treatment (granular in Feb. spray Dimension after mid March) I’ll have leftover dimension spray. If I buy the bottle, will the extra last 12 months so I can finish it off the following year? If not, would an alternative treatment be to just spray something like Bayer Advanced weed control instead of Dimension? Dimension seems great, but isn’t portioned for anything smaller than 10k sq feet.

How long until pre emergent starts to do it job? How long does it take for protection to take effect?

Once it's in the SOIL.... hours if watered in... it's doing it's job. However, it really only works as the seeds germinate. At that point it stops any growth and the plant dies.
