I want to thank you and also curse at you. Until this spring I was happy with my lawn. But now I'm obsessed. And also now I have the earthwise chipper I have opposite problem of to much browns for my compost pile. It all started when I tried to identify my quack grass. Why couldn't I get rid of this 6'x6' patch over the years. I sprayed normal spray, used weed n feed, and hand picked it for years. I soon realized I had several bad grasses. Quack, poa Anna, and bunching tall fescue. I have painstakingly hand painted blades of quack all summer. I shoukd have nuked an entire zone. But also I think I'm getting lots of quack grass seed germination. My spring overfeeding didn't go real well because I watered to long and the peat moss and seed washed off some big spots. Just a slight slope. Also a few dry hot days fried some baby KBG. But my labor day seeding is growing in much thicker. I used more heavy top soil and peat. And only 7 min water times. All the fescue was cut out and mew sod has blended in. Im getting compliments on my yard again. Oh also you got me using micro nutrients, milorganite, Humate. My neighbor is now feeling bad he has 60% bunching fescue. I know he is. Plus he has big patches of rye. I know he looks at my 100 %KBG with envy. You may have taken away many fishing trips this summer but my yard is kooking good. How deep do I go down this rabbit hole??

Hi, need some help! We are probably very late and havent applied a pre or a post emergent. Should we start with a post emergent to kill existing crabgrass and then apply pre emergent? Should we water the lawn a day or two after the post emergent and then do the pre emergent? Ours is bermuda grass. Should we also apply any nitrogen fertilizers? Sorry for all the questions, but I am quite new to lawn care.
@pestandlawnginja5 жыл бұрын
Pre -emergents are for pre seed germination. So you would want to apply a pre emergent pre 47ish degrees F ground temp. Post emergents are for when the weed emerges and presents itself to you. Pre emergents need to be watered in and post emergents should stay dry according to the label recommendations. Bermuda grass is a very hungry grass in general. contact your local agricultural department extensions for local recommendations on how many lbs of nitrogen should be applied per season. This number will most likely fall between 4 and 7lbs per season of N.

I'm not a huge fan of pre emergents if you can avoid it. If you have a history of weeds Its a preferred method to stop the process of germinating new weeds. it does effect root growth but i wouldn't say i've seen it kill a lawn. the meso apps only last 3 weeks tops as a pre emergent. If you were dilligent on monitoring your ground temps then i would stay that route this season. just be sure to apply it at the right time. crabrass germinates 5 days at 50-55 degrees F soil temps.

Granule weed killer...... for SoCal.....? To be upfront I've never been big on a granular weed and feed. I've seen a few function well for common dandelions but that was about the extent. I know scotts came out with a new granular weed and feed that I've heard was good but I've never had the chance to use it. Here's a link to the product. You'll notice most of the reviews are mixed. I'm big on spray and using the right solutions for the right weeds. It's difficult to get the product to stick to the weeds. One thing I have suggested is to mist the lawn, spray for 30 seconds or less per station then apply the product. It'll help get some stick. Don't take my advice on the product though, I would read the label and see what happens. The pre emergent is a good decision. I was just there and you could put it down now.

Great question. I would do 2 apps per year with prodiamine. Right before ground temps get up to 45 early spring and right when the daytime temps get regularly below 80. Between those apps I would consider a treatment or two with dithiopyr assuming the daytime temps are below 85. Most weeds to actively germinate above 85 degrees. Other than that glyphosate (non selective herbicide) will be your friend for killing everything off. You'll need to do a reapplication every two to three months or as the weeds come up. It's important to remember ore emergents disrupt current weed seed germination. If the weed has already germinated over the past 18 months It will still emerge and that's why we call herbicides post emergents.

Hello Pest and Lawn Ginja, First and foremost, Thank you for all of your very-informative and extremely helpful videos. As a newbie lawn caretaker, your video have helped me tremendously. I finally learnt about preemergents and am very interested in using the Prodiamine on my grass. I am in Michigan, the temps currently are in the 20s-30s. I have Kentucky Bluegrass. I usually see a lot of Canada thistle, crabgrass and some broadleaf weeds on my yard, some dandelions too now and then. I dethatched my grass last year after watching your videos and fertilized it with Propeat, and it really helped, but the weeds still showed up now and then. I am wondering if this Prodiamine application once the temperature crosses 35, and then a Dithiopyr application in May/June would work for the weed problem I am facing, or do I need to go for something stronger? Thank you.

I need to make it thicker but at the same time it was 30-40% crabgrass by mid summer last year.

tough situation. in an ideal world we would have hoped they would have prepped the soil first. All things considered you may want to look into using Tenacity for its pre and post emergent properties assuming you're planting a cool season grass. I would do a post emerging herbicide to treat first with the tenacity before planting the new seed. I would do 2 tenacity treatments then a 3rd while planting the new seed. I'd hit it every 3 weeks as mentioned above.

Sounds like the only way I can grow new grass and control crabgrass is with Tenacity. Yes I'm in Ohio so cool weather grass is the choice.

We didn't move in until a month after they hydroseeded so nobody was around to take care of it.

Not a big deal, Except for the sand burs Ive been pulling by hand. Do either of these work for sand burs? If so how often do you treat the lawn to prevent? And how much time do you need before you can lay seed again?

both of these products will help to disrupt weed seed germination. Sand burs are difficult because of the timing of which they germinate. If you were diligent in the application throughout the season I would say you'll do better than you're doing now. It may not be a saving grace for the first season. I commonly set peoples expectations to 2 seasons. The products do not kill weed seeds. Sand bur weed seeds can stay suppressed for years before they germinate. Regular post emergent herbicides and pre emergents will lead you in the right direction.

Just a few question's.. 1)The pre emergent needs to go down two weeks before the ground temp is 55? How do you know its gonna be 55 in two weeks ? 2) How far apart do you fertilize and use pre emergent? 3) How does Pre emergent and fertilizer effect grass seeds ?

Love the channel, I have Bermuda Grass and this season I had bare spots from too much shade, I got rid of the trees and wanted to let the grass fill in so I didn’t use preemergent, of course I have quite a bit of crabgrass that has gotten in there, my question is if I put down a preemergent this late summer early fall and of course on in early spring next year will the grass continue to fill in the areas that have been dominated by crabgrass if they are bare?
@pestandlawnginja6 жыл бұрын
bermuda will still creep. The only thing you will lose is the lack of new seed germination. IMO i don't feel its best to apply pre emergents until the day time temps are below 80 degrees on the regular. Seed germination doesn't happen as often when temps are above 80 degrees.

Ginja? What's your thoughts on using granular Dimension (Dithiopyr) over the liquid? I have almost 50k Sq Ft of lawn to treat and continually filling a 4 gal Backpack is just way too time and effort consuming vs filling a 50 - 100lbs at a time in a rotary spreader. Is it as effective as the liquid and which is more economical (Cost $$)? I have since bought a 26 Gallon ATV Sprayer for when I am doing larger POST emergent treatments (because quite frankly, I know granular Post-E products just suck - you need perfect conditions for the granular to "stick" to the weed) But back on topic.... Now that I have the big sprayer I am wondering if you suggest I switch to liquid application for my PRE-E applications as well. Thanks for the video. Excellent content.

@pestandlawnginja6 жыл бұрын
Hey matt. These are great questions. The function of prodiamine is to disrupt the germination. If you overseed and force germination over two weeks you can apply prodiamine 2 weeks later. However, the prodiamine will overwinter causing seed germination disfunction the following spring. IMO you will not have a successfull germination next spring due to the prodiamine application from the late fall. You may be able to get around this little issue by doing a spring aeration or power rake followed by an overseed. Disrupting the soil will cause some failure in the prodiamine pre emergent. You'll need to force spring germination making sure there's plenty of water on the soil. You can then in return apply another dose of prodiamine 2 to 4 weeks later. You may cause other weed seeds to germinate in the process and in return will need to spot spray with a post emerging herbicide.

With all that going on, would you (if at all), add an application of either of your two favorite pre-emergents? If so, when would those be suggested to put down? And being that I have 40,000 square feet of yard to work with, would you still go with the liquid versions of those, or granular?
