This basic information is often confusing to customers and this video is spot on. I've given this information to new customers many times. The only thing I'd add to this is the importance of a fall pre-emergent to stop those winter weeds from showing up in the spring. The timing of these applications is also crucial for success. Soil temperatures should be your deciding factor.

[@BudgetLawns]

Thank you. Appreciate that. For sure. That fall app is very important as well. Thanks again! 👊👊

Hey @budgetlawns when applying oversees to a dying lawn when can you apply post emergent for thr souther lawn types.

[@BudgetLawns]

I don't use a post emergent on a new lawn in the first season. Just my preference, but I'd for sure wait until its established enough and strong enough to handle it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@calebjosey879]

Love that you aren’t trying to sell me anything like other lawn KZbinrs. I have a question on what you do specifically. Do you use 1 whole bag of pro care natural and 1 whole bag of 10-10-10 every time you fertilize? I have about 4,000sq ft of Bermuda and was thinking of doing that once a month for about four months, but was not sure if that would be too much.

[@BudgetLawns]

👊👊 that’s how we do things around here. My old lawn was 4K sqft and I used one bag of each spread evenly across the lawn. I’ve cut the pro care out because of rising prices but may do it one or two times this year. Appreciate ya watching and commenting.

[@robertchisholm9337]

Good information Would it be an overkill if you used granular and liquid of the WeedStop at the same time since it has to watered in?

[@BudgetLawns]

Thank you. I use the granular only as a pre-emergent which needs watered in. I use the liquid as the post emergent which doesn't need watered in. So I wouldn't use them at the same time. Overkill indeed I think. Appreciate ya watching.

So - can you use spectracide weed stop granules as a broadleaf preventer in the spring by spreading then watering in? I have had good luck doing spot treatment with spectracide liquid. New (to me) house yard needs SOME work my former house I planted the sod and never let weeds even form so I have not had occasion to do much weed prevention.

[@BudgetLawns]

Yes. You can. That’s exactly what I do. Spectracide granular in fall, just after new years and then march/April and it keeps me covered. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and the question.

Travis, this year I wanted to give liquid apps a try with a spoon feeding approach. Couldn't find a liquid biosolid so bought a sea weed/fish liquid. Would that be just as effective as a biosolid or not?

Weed stop for lawn granules for post emergent just spread it on no watering?

Yes...For post emergent, you want it to be spread on dewy grass so the granules stick to the leaves but don't water it in. For pre-emergent you would water it in asap to get it into the soil. Hope this helps. Thanks again for joining us the other night.

Another great video! I live in north Georgia with about 4000 sq feet Bermuda that has years of no maintenance and is infested with weeds. I began to utilize your recommendations in September 2022 with applying 2 (10lb) bags of Spectracide Weedstop For Lawns W/Crabgrass Preventer granules (watered in with hose). I repeated the process in early January and early March. Bermuda is dormant (obviously)now, but there’s already a great improvement in the amount of weeds from last year! I will be beginning the 10-10-10 synthetic fertilizer and organic fertilizer simultaneously beginning in May with plans to repeat in June, July and then again in September when I again will apply the Spectracide Weedstop granules. If needed, I plan to use the hose end sprayer post emergent Spectracide Weedstop in May. Thanks again for your no nonsense approach! Looking forward to watching your live show! Go Dawgs in 2023!

Brand new home owner here. And im here to say my lawn is an absolute hot dumpster fire. Im getting a real late start now that its june. Can i just go a head and fertile with organic and take care of the pre-existing weeds with the pre emergent? Second question. With post emergent, if i spread it over the entirety of my lawn will it kill my lawn?

[@BudgetLawns]

You’d use a post emergent to take care of existing weeds. Use a weed killer that is safe on your grass but kills weeds. Check the label. I’d take care of that first and mow and water a lot. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@dg-hughes]

Here in Canada in my province pretty much any lawn product is banned. For the last four years I've pulled thousands of dandelions, and that purple crap. Much or what worked is just keeping at it literally every day. De-thatch, scarify (electric Sun Joe) had a major effect. Consistent watering too can be tricky. Fertilizer is an art unto itself when or what type and then there's nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, and the organisms you need to help you.

[@BudgetLawns]

Great insight. Appreciate ya watching and sharing.

[@weightelk]

I have weeds over about 20% of my lawn. I've plucked a few out by hand but I also tried the spectracide post emergent. It works ok. Is cutting the grass enough to stop the spread of weeds? After first scalping, can I just cut twice a week and leave the clippings on the lawn as sufficient fertilizer?

[@weightelk]

I was a first time home buyer last summer. I paid a lawn mowing company last summer as I was adjusting to a new job and new state. Now I've settled in, I want to care for my lawn myself!

[@BudgetLawns]

Cutting frequently and promoting a dense lawn will certainly help suppress the weeds. Leaving clippings will result in extra fertilization. Hope this helps. Appreciate you watching.

[@BudgetLawns]

From my understanding most northern folks will time their pre emergent around the soil temp of 50-55 degree mark. Around that same temp many will also apply a fertilizer. So first you need to see if your soil temp is around that at this point. Thanks for watching.

[@PatrickSmith-l9y]

Can I do a pre emergent and a post emergent treatment for weeds at the same time? Or is only one treatment necessary?

[@BudgetLawns]

All that's discussed in the video. Pre emergent needs watered in and a post doesn't. The timing is usually off to need to do them at the same time anyway. I wouldn't do them together. Thanks for watching.

Should grass be cut all the way low when applying this ?

Thank you. A soil test is certainly a great idea for those looking to dive deeper into it. Or someone who wants to be more precise.
