[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

You are a SUPERIOR Teacher...a master at explaining and demonstrating.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you

[@rodgersandrodgers8191]

I do love your videos. I want to thank you for not having a 14-minute intro! Some of the people out there seem to give an intro that says absolutely nothing for too long of a time. Yes it looks good but what people like me want is the meat of the subject. You do that better than anybody out there. So thank you.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you

[@davidcrowson4745]

I've always had good results with spectracide products... I used the granular weed stop for lawns. Anyway your lawn is looking great. Thanks for the update.

[@LawnAmateur]

I love spectracide products. They work and the price is great. Thank you for your support

[@susansmith7071]

Well said! From beginner to the end! Your lawn is looking great!❤

Thank you

This is a great video and I am about to head out and use the non-selective grass and weed killer in the landscaping areas of my yard. Also, will be using it along the separate areas of my driveway. Thanks for this great video it is very informative.

[@LawnAmateur]

@paulcastillo5235 No problem I'm glad I could help 👌🏾

[@xBenny_Blanco]

My bro, good info. I use the round up brand for my walk ways, but same concept. Keep on grinding. You have good info for the average homeowner. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you bro I appreciate the support

[@derrickrobinson4271]

Very informative and professional videos!! It's easy to understand you without all the gimmicks and background effects most videos have on here. Thanks again you're my favorite lawn channel!

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you. I like to keep the videos simple but informative thats the importance of me making the videos. I'm glad I could help. Thank you again

[@ticky468]

The length is fine LA you gave us alot of useful information!! Thanks for putting a spotlight on the ladies cuz we’re definitely out here too and the warmer it gets everyone will be outside the noise is understandable u were loud and clear thanks!! 🙏🏾

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you I didn't want to make everyone go to sleep 😴 with a long video lol but it was alot of information to give out I'm glad I could help you out.

[@artisticboundaries]

Bro loo at how green your lawn is. You guys are getting rain up north? We are getting hammered with ZERO rain in Baltimore. My grass looks like late July!?!?!

[@LawnAmateur]

No we haven't been getting much rain here in CT. Its been in the forecast but then move away so I been laying out the sprinklers

[@artisticboundaries]

@@LawnAmateur Yeah same here. We got rain one day in May on the 22nd and so far nothing this month. I'm going to have to do the same thing.

[@graceortiz9494]

Good information. Show the difference between the non selective, and selective. Lawn is🔥🔥

Thank you

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you 👌🏾

[@rodgersandrodgers8191]

There are some places in my lawn that I am not sure if they're full of weeds or just a different type of grass. For the most part I'm looking to have only and call fescue. My question is can I use the selective herbicide on my lawn and let the selective herbicide decide if it is a weed or not? Would that work? Your videos are among the best. They are easy to understand and you seem approachable. I do appreciate that. So thank you for having your videos out there on KZbin. Please keep it up.

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes that is one way to test it out spray the selective herbicide on the part you're not sure about and if it die it wasn't grass. I'm glad you enjoy my videos and that they're easy to understand. Thank you for your support I appreciate it

[@derrickrobinson4271]

Another great, informative video!! Very helpful and I will be grabbing some of this product.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you

[@MrErpman]

I like the premixed for quick sprays but when i have to spray all my mulched areas and rocky areas, i use concentrates because they're much cheaper. It's rained a coyple of days so the weeds are popping up everywhere and I'll have to spray about 4 gallons.

[@LawnAmateur]

That'll work

[@Major-xm9bh]

Salute to you for standing up from judgement of the so-called pros or haters. 🫡🫡

[@LawnAmateur]

Had to let it be known 🤣👌🏾

[@dondihodge4568]

Thank you! I thought spectracide had changed formulas or something. Lol. It's that I grabbed the wrong bottle. Then I couldn't figure out why things didn't die.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad I could help

[@jesusavila7327]

Love your videos!

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you

[@SC_RC1478]

With the orange cap one, can i spray that before, during, or after adding fertilizer or overseeding?

[@LawnAmateur]

If you're overseeding don't spray the weed killer because it'll kill the new seed or grass. Wait until you mowed the lawn and new grass atleast 3x before treating for weeds. But if the grass is already established yes you can fertilize and spray the orange top

[@SC_RC1478]

@@LawnAmateur thank you!

[@SC_RC1478]

Maybe i missed it, but why did the orange cap kill your grass on that small spot? I thought that one was fine for grass.

[@LawnAmateur]

That was a big clump of weeds in that spot. The grass was fine

[@bosslady874]

Good to know information

[@jacemedsker1816]

Honest question: Why would you use these products over Tenacity? Is tenacity going to be more for preventative use?

[@LawnAmateur]

Great question I use this product because it cheap and easy to go and pick up in the store the same day if you need a weed killer right now. Tenacity is great and I've used it in the past but most people see the price of tenacity and get discouraged so I'm showing alternative options something everyone can use and feel comfortable spending their hard earned money on.

[@ZandraBryant-y8s]

What if you have black top and it stops spraying? It doesn’t have a pump. How do I troubleshoot?

[@LawnAmateur]

Check inside the bottle, the siphon straw may have come unattached

[@bettyjean-do8cy]

Can I do a blanket spray of the hose spray bottle of Weed Stop and apply Milorganite fertilizer the same day, on tall fescue lawn? If so, which one should I apply first?

[@LawnAmateur]

You can. Apply the milorganite first then blanket spray

[@bettyjean-do8cy]

I really appreciate your quick response and guidance, sir! Thank you.

[@yeee3466]

Is there a website or possible app to find out what kind of grass I have in my backyard? Thanks!

[@LawnAmateur]

Check out this website below I hope this helped www.pennington.com/all-products/grass-seed/resources/how-to-identify-your-lawn-grass

[@Thomaticus]

Do you have a video on identifying the types of grass?

[@LawnAmateur]

No I don't at the moment I'm sorry but I'll put it on my list for future reference

What fertilizer you use?

[@LawnAmateur]

I was using Scotts lawn food fertilizer

[@yvettesmith9390]

Sadly spectracide has done away with the extended control grass and weed killer and replaced it with one shot I got excellent control with the grass and weed killer extended control but the one shot doesn't have the same ingredients so I'm not sure how well it will work. I need to cover large areas around the fence, my shed, my mobile home and some other areas. Any suggestions

[@LawnAmateur]

That's interesting. Is the white bottle weed and grass killer spectracide still available? Because that one work just as good only thing it's does have the extended control

[@brendasneddon8347]

Will orange top version klll Trumpet Vine in grass listed?

[@LawnAmateur]

@brendasneddon8347 No, you'll need glysophate or triclopyr

[@brendasneddon8347]

@@LawnAmateur Roundup which I thought had glysophate killed the grass. That's why I bought Spectracide. What brand has triclopyr?

[@LawnAmateur]

@@brendasneddon8347 Bioadvanced has triclopyr. I don't think you're going to find a selective herbicide that'll kill trumpet vine in grass without harming the grass.

[@brendasneddon8347]

@@LawnAmateur ok thank you, I was afraid of that as I know it is a very tough one

[@yvettesmith9390]

I have tried the white bottle and it doesn't seem to work as well or last as long. I don't think the ingredients are exactly the same

[@LawnAmateur]

Yea the black bottle was stronger

[@LawnAmateur]

Walmart has one called weed and grass killer extended action it's supposed to be the same as the spectracide look for that one

[@adamwright5563]

I live in nc, when is the best time to apply this. I’m the fall ?

[@LawnAmateur]

You can use these weed killers anytime you see weeds or grass in unwanted areas from spring to fall

[@Sha8205]

How does one find out what type of grass they have? I have no clue. I'm in Virginia. Please help🙁

[@LawnAmateur]

More than likely you have a cool season lawn that consist of ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and fescue.

[@Sha8205]

@@LawnAmateur ok, thanks! So, it's ok for me to use the one with orange top to treat the weeds?

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes its fine

[@MrErpman]

Can't use the orange top in Texas. The quinclorac in it is banned.

[@LawnAmateur]

That sucks

[@allencupsie6560]

Yeah what happens if you don't know what type of grass you got

[@LawnAmateur]

Do a little research first. Normally grass type go off what climate you live in Cool Season or warm season

[@TheKingsize11]

Bruh, what's up man? I used this orange top gun muzzle spot sprayer and it burnt my grass...over here in South Carolina

[@LawnAmateur]

What is your grass type? When did you use it? And how did you use it?

[@TheKingsize11]

@LawnAmateur followed the instructions, it killed the crabgrass and the lawn in the area I sprayed, I used it late in the afternoon when the sun set ill get some seed. My grass is green, using your methods

[@LawnAmateur]

Did you try the spectracide weed stop for lawns?

[@Bugginout79]

I would stay far away from anyone that thinks or claims to be a pro. I won’t even tell you the things that professionals like trugreen have done to my lawn and to themselves not wearing ppe gear. Landscapers mowing with dull blades, over-seeding with zoysia seed in northeast , putting perennial Rye in st Augustine and having grass attack each other. You name it , I have seen it done by “professionals” 🤣 I had some that actually didn’t know the perennial rye will put out a toxin in diameter to protect itself from certain invading grass types. I am a tax attorney not a landscaper and I learned mostly from research and costly errors . I don’t judge anyone !!

[@LawnAmateur]

Wow unbelievable. Sharp blades are a must smh. I can believe someone would try to overseed with zoysia grass seed in the northeast thats a first lol 🤦🏾‍♂️. Alot of the so call professionals try to cut corners and cut cost but cheat the paying customer in the process and thats not right on so many levels. I judge no one also but I don't like blatant bad service just because they're trying to take shortcuts. Thank you for your support

Bermuda can sometimes recover on its own because its very strong but you may have to reseed in those areas if the grass doesn't come back
