[@craigphillips3154]

If you have a smaller lawn then, yes, the Spectracide with the orange top is definitely the way to go. I usually keep a bottle of the concentrate and keep a gallon mixed up in a 1 gallon pump sprayer. I'll walk the lawn every couple of weeks and spot spray. I have used the premixed sprayer bottle before, but I found that I prefer the hand pump sprayer better. I have found that the Spectracide will handle the vast majority of the weeds I get in my Bermuda grass in Georgia. I will occasionally add in some Image Kills Nutsedge in the Spring if I start seeing some Poa. But, as you say, pre-emergent is the key to preventing weeds before they appear. Because the Spectracide has 4 active ingredients, I don't really have to worry about identifying every single weed. It will take care of pretty much everything I see (except Poa and Dallis Grass). The Spectracide isn't super concentrated (5 oz per gallon of water), but it is pretty cheap ($10/40 oz). I'll add in a splash of surfactant and maybe a bit of blue dye and I'm good to go. There are plenty of super concentrated, and much more expensive, products out there, but I don't go through even 1 bottle of Spectracide per year. So why would I buy something that's $100 and makes 100 gallons? I'd never use it all!

[@BudgetLawns]

[@reggiemurphy1523]

Yeah, it's the rotation of seasonal hand soap dispensers that gets me!!😂😂 But I do like feeling like the rocketeer once in a while with my back pack sprayer!!😂😂😂 Great video as always Travis!! The battle continues!!

[@BudgetLawns]

Haha, too funny! I almost put a video clip from the Rocketeer in the video. Such a classic. 👊👊Appreciate you as always buddy! Your support means a lot.

[@valeriek5020]

Can you please provide an annual program (northern Illinois, rey grass and I seed only in the fall) using the liquid. It may be a little expensive, but with your suggestion of buying only once then using concentrate is a great idea. I am not lazy, just a little nervous using the granular stuff. Thanks.

[@BudgetLawns]

You need to look for your local extension office and it should have annual calendars for your grass type and location. That's how I developed my program from my local extension calendar. As far as herbicides go, there's not much more I can give you than what the label says. I can't add to that as label is law. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@TheeRustyCage]

Great points here in this one 👊🏻

[@BudgetLawns]

Thanks bud! Appreciate you!👊

[@bigbearbear5458]

IMO the method of choice for apply herbicide in your lawn depends on the size of the area you have to cover. Those ready to use (RTU) jugs are good for the typical housing units sitting on postage sized lots, which Budget Lawns seems to have; if you live on larger lots with bigger lawns, those tiny little jugs and its freebie little sprayer isn't going to cut it. If you have larger property, a battery powered 2 gallon or backpack style 4 gallon sprayer is going to be your friend. You can spray a variety of chemical with them, for me it is mostly lawn chemicals and also pesticides during spring/fall season to establish a chemical barrier around my property. One recommendation I do have for those looking for a budget: Don't buy those chemicals, including concentrate, from your typical big box home improvement stores such as Lowes and Home Depot. Look for a farm supply store such as Tractor Supply and Coastal Farm etc. They will have similar chemical concentrate is larger jugs and cheaper prices.

[@BudgetLawns]

Yup. Everyone's situation is different for sure. I have about a quarter acre but a lot of it has been turned into mulch beds for gardening. Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback.

[@why-be-normal7014]

I use the empty sprayers for engine degreaser and other stuff to spray better them pumping nonstop

[@BudgetLawns]

I like that! Great idea. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@wbwb9935]

Any idea on what lawn care companies are putting down right now see a lot of signs out.

[@BudgetLawns]

Pre emergent, most likely. I’ll be getting some down tomorrow. Thanks for watching.

[@wbwb9935]

@@BudgetLawns NWA ground temperature is near ? I was thinking later.

[@BudgetLawns]

No it’s not near. I didn’t ever get my Jan. 1 app down because of weather and life in general so I’m behind on that. With some rain coming Sunday, it’ll be a good time since it’ll get watered in. It’s not my normal schedule but it’s the best I could do this year.

[@BudgetLawns]

Lawn care companies will use commercial products that last longer than residential so they can get started early and it won’t matter.

[@RiRi-om6jv]

I have premix from last year. Can I apply after the rain or during light rain? And it reads spray only on weeds not lawns as well as won’t hurt lawns…

[@BudgetLawns]

You want to apply when the plants are dry and no rain is expected. I like it to be dry for 24 hours after spraying. Double check the label. If it says won't hurt lawns it will be safe on grass but not on weeds. That's a selective herbicide. You want to be sure on this. A non-selective herbicide will kill anything it touches. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@Aerialphotovito]

Thats a great product works well , thank god I dont have too many weeds just some spot spraying now and then.

[@BudgetLawns]

👍👍 thanks buddy. Appreciate ya.

[@mikeanddebboyers6822]

The Weed Stop for Lawns you use to prevent crabgrass also kills existing weeds? I have henbit, its bad.

[@BudgetLawns]

It is supposed to depending on how it is applied. I apply only as a pre-emergent and water it in immediately. That washes it off the weeds and therefore doesn't effectively act as a post emergent. I do not prefer granular post emergent control. Hope this makes sense. Henbit can be bad if it's mild late in winter and early spring. It will die when it gets hot. Thanks for the question and watching.

[@markie6970]

I love my 1 gallon mix tank, I save in the long run buying concentrate weed killer.

[@billy2bob63]

A lot of truth in this video Travis! Like you said your experiences and i know you know everyones situation isn't the same. After many many years carrying a 2 gallon pump up sprayer spraying roundup twice a year on my two acres i finally broke down a few years back and bought a good back pack sprayer. Used a lawn tractor riding lawn mower for years which took 6-8 hours to mow my property because zero turn mowers were somewhat of a new thing so $$$$$$$ then years latter when i could afford and prices came down i bought my fist one. When we moved hear i had tons upon tons of gravel brought in for my driveway and spread it by hand with a shovel and a wheel barrel lol i was younger and just did what i needed to get the job done. We all have to start somewhere and at the end of the day if the job gets done well that's what counts! 👍💯♥️🇺🇸

[@BudgetLawns]

Amen. Great comment. Really good stuff. Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences. We've all go different ones and that's what makes it fun!

[@Eli-qr9hc]

Good info, thanks for sharing. I’m going to be attempting to take care of my own lawn and cut the strings to the lawn care services… If you could define for me, what does pre-emergent mean and what is it and what is Post emergent? and how can I buy these products that mean what They are defined as to use my lawn or is it just simply weed Killers ?

[@BudgetLawns]

Thanks for watching. Pre emergent means the product keeps the weeds from coming up. Post emergent means the product kills the weeds that have already popped up. The products that say preventer are the pre emergents. The weed killers are the post emergents. Hope this helps. Thanks again.

[@Eli-qr9hc]

@@BudgetLawns thanks I never knew that. Now I can go back out and buy weed preventer and I guess that’s done in the fall… And weed killer is done in the spring.??

[@BudgetLawns]

@Eli-qr9hc pre emergent in fall and spring. Post emergent in spring or early summer.

[@hpts8095]

the question is, will it get rid of the bindweed that inevitably pops up in my yard every year?

[@BudgetLawns]

I've never had to deal with bindweed but it is on the label for control. I've never had it not get rid of a weed, so I suppose bindweed will be no different. Thanks for watching.

[@johnmoreland8706]

That funny that you said that and it just busted me upside my head.. I bought two hose spray plastic hose application devices and tossed them in the trash bin… WHEN… I could have washed them out to use the concentration herbicide at a lower ounce to do the same dang thing.. I’m shaking my head at myself yes I’m going to subscribe… I’ve got a bunch of broad leaf weed… and a shady yard..you made me laugh at myself… if we could open them.. no clue.. they probly thought that one out no doubt.. I do have a gallon spot sprayer for close action…

[@yadervargas5053]

Hello, I was messaging you earlier in the other video. I’ve been enjoying getting educated with your videos. In this video you showed your lawn when you first bought the house, that’s how mines look maybe a little worse lol. I feel like there is hope. Lol. A couple of questions, do you still recommend adding baby shampoo to this weed liquid before spraying? I’ve used the hose sprayer attachment before and I’ve noticed I run out quickly and is kind of all over the place. I know it will take me longer but I’m thinking of using the pump sprayer and really making sure the weeds are getting treated, thoughts? Last thing for the most part are there safe to use let’s say around my palm trees that have e weeds around? I can’t thank you enough for all you insight.

[@BudgetLawns]

Glad they're helping. If I'm using a sprayer, I would add baby shampoo. If you're using a hose end and running out quickly you may be walking too slow. Check your square footage and judge your walking pace by how much the bottle covers. Be careful spraying around any desirable plants or trees. Weed killers can damage or harm them if too much spray gets on em.

[@yadervargas5053]

@@BudgetLawns for 2 gallon sprayer how much baby shampoo would you say? Eye it just a dab? Thank you

[@BudgetLawns]

1 oz per gallon.

[@yadervargas5053]

Hello! Question when using this weed killer, how can I spread around trees especially palm trees to not damage. Due to the nature of the weed infestation, weeds are around the palm trees as well. Please help. Thank you

[@BudgetLawns]

Just make sure the wind doesn’t blow too much onto the leaves of trees or plants and you’ll be fine.

[@johnbarrett9621]

Do you remove the batteries if you’re not going to use it for an extended time so there no corrosion? Keep up the good work Travis!

Ok, so use the concentrate and mix it in a bigger sprayer haha. I'd still use this brand for any weed problem I have as I've done in the past. It's the best weed killer I've ever used, regardless of the bottle I buy it in.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

​@@BudgetLawns he is correct. We just moved into a new home and half the backyard is weeds with some st Augustine mixed in. There are so many weeds I think something that attaches to the hose and mixes would be necessary. Otherwise I think it would take 4 or 5, two gallon tanks... Maybe more.
