Weed Killer For St Augustine Grass

[@jacknife0000]

I'm so glad you have St. Augustine.... Living in Texas, the lawn care tips you used to give before you moved were only partially beneficial. regardless I watch EVERY video. Thanks for all you do!

[@sman222222]

Is it sad I wait for your vids more than I look forward to my regular tv shows? Just what I was waiting for. Thanks again Allyn!!!

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

regular TV... what's that? :)

[@BigHomie030]

5:30 is when he actually reveals the product Incase you guys are wondering like I was.

[@coachcrazy22]

You mentioned you got the pre-emergent down in time but didn't say when that deadline was. Thanks a lot, great video.

[@ryannewcomb468]

Please consider inserting a "Throw er down!" Clip from this video in all of your future fertilizer, weed killer, pre-me and/or water tip videos. That made me spit my drink out, not kidding. Thanks for all your videos. I've been following your tips and it's paid off. (My neighbors think I'm nuts, though...)

[@josetamayo9699]

So what if I want to get rid of Bermuda, which is very prominent around my area, leaving in the Saint Augustine. How do I get rid of the Bermuda to leave the Saint Augustine? 9:03

[@alanamador4203]

I needed help with my south Florida grass now I Loving Watching your videos.I believe I can make my lawn look good, now with your help! Keep doing what you're doing .

[@bigkat1919]

Allyn you're tip several videos back on not going full throttle when using a trimmer has been a life changer!!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

nice!!

[@tboneforreal]

OK, I definitely wasn't feeling the Frankenstein Bermuda until I saw that good patch you got going. It's looking better and better.

[@MrGeneWentworth]

Got some plugs yesterday. Going to try and plant them tomorrow.

[@GrassDaddy]

I'm loving these videos. its fun seeing the warm season grasses!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

thanks brother

[@Anthonymahon]

How much dish soap did you use ?

[@eltongarcia9100]

Can you explain the dish soap add and how to calculate that volume? Great segment.

[@frankiemacias4510]

Could I use blindside on an established st aug grass ?

[@WallsBeeMan]

Will Blindside kill wild violet in my St.Augustine ? I'm in Memphis. I have one acre of wonderful St.Augustine Lawn. I see often where people say Bermuda takes over St.Augustine. Not so with me. Over 40 years my St.Augustine has taken over my bermuda.

[@danieldaemicke6904]

I enjoy learning about the southern grasses.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

me too ;)

[@pvaz80]

Just came across your videos searching for ways to liven up a St Augustine lawn in a newly constructed house. It seems the sod didn't take 100%, but the biggest issue is weeds. They are relentless and come is such a huge variety here. I miss the soft Midwestern grass. Looking forward to the results video.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

yeah me too, I miss the softness of the cool season turf, but if you get your St Augustine healtlhy, it can also have advantages that you will come to like

[@jane1385]

Is there a topsoil you recommend? I feel like the one I buy is full of weed seeds!

[@jw4620]

That stuff you're trying to save is weeds, up here, and I pull it regularly. Won't regular grass grow down there?

[@traviscurtis0140]

over 200 views in 20 min you've got to love your success. I know for one I await your videos both on Facebook and KZbin every week!!!!

[@davidalonso4597]

I also use Blindside, great product. But here in Florida it is kind of risky to use in hot weather. A better all year round herbicide would be Celcius. Give it a try results are just as good as Blindside.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

thanks for the advice, I will look it up! And as far as heat, the advantage we have as homeowners is we can apply in evenings... you pro guys are more dictated by your route as to time of day, making it definitely a concern.

[@davidalonso4597]

+The Lawn Care Nut That's true, we are limited in these months and use it as needed. Cooler months it's the best product use.

[@robster7775]

Hey Allyn! I know St. Augustine is sensitive to many weed killer/herbicides but was wondering if you had any suggestions for fertilization... When (frequency throughout the year)? What (N-P-K ratios)? Located in So. California. Thanks.

[@thigpen9373]

That Bermuda is looking good and I can't wait to see that ST Augustine established. Thanks Allan!

[@kennysanders7413]

It's best to try and spray in the morning that way it won't burn the plants as bad. Yes it's kinda hard to do with a full time job but it is easier on your plants. Just make sure there isn't a heavy dew.

[@rudyhill4837]

i got the same echo sprayer a very good quality worth every penny

[@TheLawnCareNut]

i agree it's a good unit!

[@freddyjimenez5384]

I going to start from scratch with St. Augustine. How would I start cleaning and prepping my soil?

[@njneer7511]

In your Kyllinga nutsedge battle video from two years ago you state not to use a surfactant with Blindside but in this video you recommend using it. I just purchased Blindside, the surfactant, and marker dye to treat my lawn. So may I ask which is it please? Thanks

[@paulvolcker8956]

I'm curious about the use of Blindside in high temperatures. The label says its safe to do but the label for MSM, which is one of the two active ingredients in Blindside, recommends not using it above 85 degrees

[@bryanholder1329]

You could have used one of the walk behind 4 head blow torches they use for gardening to kill all the seeds in the top 2" or so of soil before plugging. Urban Farmer Curtis Stone has good information on strategies for this.

[@Sweettreat705]

Allyn we need help desperately in the central Florida area! Our Augustine is absolutely dying and overwhelmed by weeds. Can you PLEASE come help us!?!?

[@jderek0007]

Will Blindside work on Oxalis? I have that clover like crap all over the dead spots in my back yard. Been battling it for years and I cannot get any grass to grow in those shady spots. Just this Oxalis stuff. Thoughts? North Texas Dallas area. Thanks!

[@joesteffe6155]

How much soap for 1 gal sprayer Pls ??

[@mattbeazer5896]

You should do sprinkler controller reviews. There's all sorts of "smart" ones out there now... it would be interesting to see your take on them as many of us have irrigation systems.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

I have two in the garage that I will review - I just don't want to mess with my system right now since I am relying on it so heavily.

[@mattbeazer5896]

Makes sense... I bought a Rachio last spring that just about sent my lawn into dormancy last summer with it's "suggested" watering time settings. You don't want that while growing plugs/new grass for sure. I did the math with my sprinkler nozzle precipitation rates from the manufacturer and found the Rachio suggested settings were only giving the lawn .60" of water a week when it should have been getting a full inch.

[@nole900]

Have you tried Tenacity on St Augustine?

[@amitavahere]

Hey LCN, What is that you are adding to blindside? I could read "Seventh Generation", is it a dish soap or laundry detergent?

[@chaddombeck]

Great video... appreciate the info. Is this product safe for Floritam?

[@Fierocious]

I'm going to try this. I've seen some other herbicides that say St Aug safe but not for the floratam variety of st. aug. Not even sure what I have but so far nothing has really worked.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

this will be fine for Floratam too

[@Fierocious]

+The Lawn Care Nut, great. Thanks! I'm a first time yard owner in Tallahassee

[@calvinthomas1981]

Can grass over grow the weeds if you let the grass grow high

[@tusabes226]

Allyn!! I have done a 7 day kill off and replanted grass with starter Fert on top. The Boss/Wifes honey do list took me away from it all but the watering. Now It has grown back with some grass, creep, clover, GOAT heads and crab grass third till stage. I would hate to start over so is there a aggressive path I can take to save the grass but get rid of my Salad bar?? temps are rising and I would like to get some grass established this year.

[@HECGOM]

Would atrazine work as well to take care of weeds?

[@TheLawnCareNut]

this time of year, yes for sure

[@HECGOM]

@@TheLawnCareNut would you have a video on this?

[@nick06tc]

Do you have any advice for buttonweed

[@nachobizz1]

The plugs and The runners, how do they go into the ground to ensure the roots establish in the ground? My weeds I mean my grass is the same way

[@jo2575]

What would be the mix rate per gallon of the MSM Turf for nutsedge

[@roybanksbywater]

Is there a reason you didn't rake the leaves first?

[@AntLive29]

Good video but that Blindside is out of my price range. I can’t afford it. Can you recommend something cheaper?

[@TheLawnCareNut]

this is a single use pack for 2 gallons of water in a pump sprayer - works great thelawncarenut.com/collections/weed-control/products/celsius-wg

[@dagalvez54]

What are your thoughts on Bandini weed and feed?

[@hotrodhog2170]

+The Lawn Care Nut does not like weed and feed products

[@z0ned2]

I've never seen you use anything by big name Scotts... costco makes it easy to get around here in Cali. I know it's not organic..... Is scotts weed&feed better/worse than what you're using (for est. lawn)?

[@adeptsol2348]

Allen, my client has torpedo grass in their st.aug! help! is there any option other than glyco??

[@yadervargas5053]

Where can I buy st. Augustine plugs ? And I’m assuming is just planting them? Do you have any videos tutorial. Thank you

[@bobbiewhitten1718]

I am trying to get a grip on major weeds in 3 year old sod. Even though the video was great, since you were spray plugs , I am afraid to even spot spray my established sod. ???

[@LaJoBa1]

Can I overseed with Bermuda ? I grew it up north in Michigan without trying... Controlled it. Bermuda seems to take right over?

[@oilers3838]

What's the best way to get rid of dollar weed in St Augustine grass right now in May

[@joshSmacknMouths]

Can you use Methylated Seed Oil For For This Herbacide.

[@michaelabbate4367]

The Blindside website says not to use a surfactant. Would you still recommend using one?

[@treyday5200]

Is tenacity herbicide okay to use on st augustine??

[@MrDonny1980]

Blind side worked fantastic against most weed in st Augustine...but any advice how to kill Bermuda in st Augustine

[@quro86]

I hope you could help me.. .i have an established St. Augustine in Mexico, Temp 10°C min and 25°max... below 80°F. im afraid trying 2,4-D for weed control, someone recommended me to try Sulfentrazone (Blindside), but im afraid of killing my grass, i know it could appear some yellow spots but, is it going to be fine in the long run if i follow the instructions? could you tell me your experience?

[@quro86]

i forgot to tell you, the problem i have is with broad leaf weed and some oxalis or glechoma!

[@davidwestwood2457]

Blindside label says a surfactant is NOT needed and that there is a higher chance of damage to the grass if one is used. Since it attacks the roots and works its residual power in the ground, I would not use a surfactant

[@Cacti88]

probably would have better control with a cone tip, Fan tip more for blanket spraying... I watched this video wanting to know how this product stacked up to MSM.... great answer

[@bigrich6750]

Can you mix Sulfentrazone and MSM Turf to make the mix in Blindside?

[@myaco14]

how much soap per gallon?

[@toddthege3284]

Just moved to FL this summer. I have St Augustine and skunk vine growing in my lawn.. Any recommendations?

[@mavcpr]

nut----------------can i use a hose end sprayer to put down atrazine or do i need to use a battery operated sprayer or tank sprayer----tx

[@gotshirts2ink]

ccan you use this blindside on st aug in old lawn. my front yard is st aug but it is covered in weeds as well

[@TheLawnCareNut]

yes it is much better to use it on an established lawn.

[@gotshirts2ink]

+The Lawn Care Nut thank you so much for the reply and the cool videos. im from florida as well Daytona beach area. glad to find someone like yourself doing videos.

[@areafortyone]

Allen, can you apply blindside in the heat of summer or on a sunny day without hurting the turf?

[@TheLawnCareNut]

it can be applied hotter than some weed controls, I think it's a 90 degree limit (but I'm not 100% sure as I can't find it on the label now) but either way it's best to spray AM or PM and not in the heat of the day no matter what

[@karbs76]

What kills spurge, clover and dollar for St Augustine?

[@valleygirl670]

Final Cut or Premiere

[@mzjaeee]

Any advice for dollar weed in st Augustine grass? Its taking over my front lawn.....

[@korbindallasxpass]

awesome video. one question I have a mixture of centipede and rye grass...is this a good combination for my area? I live in south carolina near the coast and understand that the rye will die do to the summer heat. thanks for the videos and thrower down

[@harrisfountain7361]

Tenacity herbicide is also a good option. Cheaper too.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

yes another excellent choice!

[@DRWebster93]

Tenacity is awesome! I just used it to kill some Poa Annua. You do have to be patient with it, though.

[@amb7247]

Can you use this if you have established grass but are also sod plugging st. Augustine in certain areas or do you recommend a different product? I have some spots I need to plug and other shaded areas that don't have an option issue with St.. Augustine grass.

[@hermanpesina6328]

thank you for this video I used the sprays from your previous vids on my st Aug and I had tons of yellow spots even with small amounts. guess I had to learn the hard way haha!

[@P.Adams626]

What preemergent did you use? Love your videos, I'm hooked!

[@cm8070]

Can I use this if I don’t have plugs. I just have lawn with weeds

[@byron1187]

Which do you recommend for Dollor weeds to apply in December ? I have the worst case of Dollor weeds you can inagine

[@angelgama1981]

I’m in California I’m have at Agustin but I’m growing goose grass or crab grass what can I use to kill it

[@mason512gaming9]

Hey Allyn I live in Minnesota, what do I do to get ahold on these ant hills that always pop-up in the lawn due to the rain.

[@DRWebster93]

Spot spray with insecticide, or apply a granular product to the entire lawn if you have a bunch of them. Diatomaceous earth is a natural pesticide free alternative, just sprinkle it on the ant hills.

[@lmkairos]

Hane. Thanks for you videos. But I have a question I have Saint Augustine with dollar weed zombies creeping. I don't have any humidity yet they are thriving. How can I get rid of dollar weed and how without damaging the grass.

[@CarlHamilton1914]

I noticed you were careful to not get the herbicide on the grass plugs. Is it okay to spray on established St Augustine Floratam grass during the summer months?

[@TheLawnCareNut]

yes it works just fine on established St Aug but watch the heat - best to spray at night

[@robertbaker4940]

Allyn, I have a very mature St. Augustine lawn, when I say mature I mean it's most likely been a part of the lawn for 20-25 years. Some areas have died out due to poor maintenance from the previous homeowner, but other areas are beautiful. A few weeks back I put out Atrazine, a weed control, and it essentially killed very little weeds. My question is, the Blindside weed killer you recommended in this video, is it safe for mature St. Augustine?

[@TheLawnCareNut]

yes and it works very well too.

[@zheng1987]

Hey LCN watch your video for awhile now. Glad you have st Augustine now. I live in Texas. Have you heard microlife humane plus. They are very good for clay soil and it's organic product. You should look into it. Also I think weeds let them be once you establish your lawn st Augustine will crow them out. I love your video. Keep it up.

[@zheng1987]

Also argulawn weed killer it's also organic and one of best weed killer I have seen.

[@eddoct]

Msm instructions says not to use surfactant why do you use it with Blindside?

[@carllane6521]

I saw you recommend Bioadvanced All in One weed and crabgrass killer in a video, but when I received it the bottle said don't use on St Augustine grass. Have you found that it harms your St Augustine grass?

Is blindside or MSM effective on crabby old crabgrass??

[@TheLawnCareNut]

yes works very well on crab grass

[@owenkwalker]

Thanks for the video Just wondering I got MSM to kill Virginia button weed on my st augustine grass here in Florida. The yard is 3 years old I am nervous to spray it all over the yard but the virginia button weed has really taken over. I guess my question is.. is it safe to spray the whole yard (~4000 sq ft)? Do I need to add the dish soap? We have lots of citrus trees and a couple oak will it harm them? any advice would be great. Thanks

[@PedroBrandaodrums]

What about Quicksilver? They from the same manufacturer

[@Jets369]

Allyn, I live in the northeast and I have a tall fescue lawn. I have some thin areas that I'm trying to thicken up but my main issue is that I have a weed infesting even some thicker areas. After doing some research I think it's corn speedwell? Any tips for controlling this weed? From what I read its hard to control with herbicides. Also for the thin areas, I just cant seem to thicken them up even with seeding.

[@DRWebster93]

Try a trimec herbicide. Be sure to use a surfactant, I recommend Bonide turbo spreader sticker. Also, using a fan tip sprayer nozzle will give you the finest mist and best results. It may take multiple applications. I have also read that quinclorac (commonly used to kill crabgrass) has some affect on this weed.

[@Jets369]

+DRWebster93 thank you very much!

[@elvsmythe]

What do you recommend for carpet burweed control? I'm in north FL, mostly St. Augustine grass, well established, and tons of carpet burweed in the Spring. I have Atrazine, recommended by UF horticulture, but I'm afraid of using it after seeing from vloggers that Atrazine can kill the St. Aug. Thanks!
