I have used ortho weed b gon for years, with nothing but good results. To this day my neighbors are still stumped as to how I keep my yard looking so good. Especially being on a corner and across from the park lol. Excellent video sir.
I'll give it a shot. I left for 6 days on July 4th and came home to a mess of Crab grass and clover spots. It was super hot for several days,I ran the irrigation while I was away. It's so much weeds I have now, fingers crossed I can get rid of most of it. Thanks for the video.
Love your channel brother. Just saw your history and start up video. I'm a new home owner now and I've been watching lots of videos on lawn care and I really like what you put out. Your editing is great and everything is perfect. Your lawn is also flawless and just gorgeous. I finally got my front yard to where it needs to be and it now looks like a lime green carpet. Nothing better than making visits to Home Depot, working on the lawn with blood sweat and tears and just patience to make a man feel like a man with hard work. The HOA aint got nothing on my lawn lol. Anyway just wanted to say Thanks for your hard work on education on lawn stuff. It helped me. A+++
I like the reality of your lawn. Thanks for sharing! No ones lawn is perfect. We are all working on something. The thing that caught my attention the most was the contrast between yours and your neighbor’s lawn at the end -WOW!
DUDE !!!! You have the BEST grass I've ever seen. I can't imagine the time it must take to maintain like that. My lawn is a mess and no matter how many times I re-seed or over seen I get like a 20% yield . . I need a lawn doctor hahaha
I've had really good luck with the Bayer Advanced for my weed control. I'll hit the whole lawn with my hose end sprayer in the spring, and then spot spray as they pop up the rest of the year. Seems to work well for me especially with controlling clover and dandelions
When I was younger Clover was part of the grass seed mixture at my local lawn care store. Yes they use to have those too. In my parents lawn now my biggest problem is clover but I kind of like it because the honey bees need something and if you haven't noticed the bees are disappearing at an alarming rate.
Agreed, clover is a good thing to have in your lawn. Many are using micro-clover mixed in with grass seed as it isn't as obvious as ordinary clover and is more heat tolerant.
Hi, Ryan. I tried a product called Fusilade II for crabgrass and quackgrass. It worked really well, and did not kill all of the good grass. You are inspiring me to rescue the lawn at the house I've rented for 8 years now. I don't plan on moving anytime soon, and with this being pandemic year, I figured why not?!?! It's going okay, but I sure wish you were here in SW Wisconsin!
New on here trying get my yard in a better shade been learning a lot from you channel, but this Texas heat is no joke. What you recommend for like safe chemicals for pets that’s a big thing for me, I’m scared to use chemicals for my yard around my dogs.
My KBG from Seed Superstore is on year 3 here in Minnesota and it looks ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING !!!! Every once in awhile I get a small patch of "clover". It's the only weed that's seems to be able to grow thru my super thick KBG. I actually enjoy (I know--I'm nuts) hand picking the clover out. It's like a vine. I just comb thru the grass blades, pull slowly on one part of the clover, and you'll get another "leg" of it, than another, and another. Pull it altogether and you'll come up with something that looks like a "mini-jungle gym of ropes" along with the main root. It works fine for a spot here or there and it doesn't grow back.
thanks for another great video!!! i hope it helps me transform the grass at our new house... its REALLY bad. 2 acres of SUPER unmaintained ( for the last 30 years ) trying to flatten it now so i can easily mow and let the kids run around, and then my plan is to use this video for a step by step to try and get it back to its glory
Every time I watch these videos I think one thing: Man if I was his neighbour I would ask for some help to keep my lawn well maintained. The contrast between your lawn and your neighbours is kind of comical, lol!
Even people social enough to ask for help instantly loose interest when you say that you need to be in the lawn every 1-2 days working on it in some way. Whether it be mowing, laying fert or other nutrients, handwatering problem spots, or even just picking weeds
Tons of work. I've only helped one of my neighbours. Very time consuming and hard on the back, not 20 anymore! All the info is out there, if u choose to not care and be lazy, I won't break my back for u. I just refer them to videos such as Ryan's and other sources and guess what? Nothing gets done!
Well lasy year I had alot of clover weeds on my front lawn. After I saw Ryan Knorrs video on using Weed B Gone without harming the grass. I bought some at Homedepot and used it to spray my front lawn. I was surprised how well it worked. Now my front lawn has no weeds and is only grass.
In Texas the biggest problem I have is Dallis grass. This stuff is the hardest weed to get rid off in Bermuda and St. Augustine grass. I think I may have finally found a solution after mixing 3 herbicides. (No MSMA) It's only been a week since application so I'm not ready to report my success yet. I will post back in a couple weeks. I'm getting a lot of rain this week which Dallis grass loves. So it should be interesting to see how much regrowth I get.
Used all three products except prosedge, also it was hard not to notice that your neighbor’s yard has lot of clover weeds, I have the similar problem, when I was spraying weed killer I sprayed some of it on my neighbor’s lawn, lol
If you have neighbors with weeds you get them too. I have a rental on one side and I had an old lady on the other side of me. I took it upon myself to eradicate their nutsedge since it grows faster than the rest of the weeds and has that funky light green color. I was so vigilant on their yards that I didn't notice the big patches of nutsedge on my side yards. Another 15$ trip to the depot to pick two bottles of nutsedge killer up. I hope that I got most of it wiped out. I am sure there will be more trips but I kicked nutsedge's roots I think. The battle with weeds continues.
Good information sir. I have a question for you. I'm in NW North Dakota. I have Kentucky blue grass and my soil is on the clay side. My question is how do you handle/get rid of mushrooms growing in the yard? Keep up the good work.
Clover has been and still is one of my biggest challenges. When I first started taking care of it my lawn was covered in clover I would have to chase out leprechauns when I mowed.
Always great information. I'm having trouble identifying at weed. I think it might be chickweed, but I'm not completely sure. Is there a site the you recommend for weed identification? Thank you and help and a point in the right direction.
New to in depth lawn care. I used to just mow, water, and seed, every year. Now I'm stepping it up and hoping I can make it look like a carpet. Once the "bad stuff" is dead what do you do? Do you run a dethatcher through it? Rake it? Leave it?
Great videos Ryan. Quick question. We live in Tennessee, and our yard is heavy clay. It is mid August now (85-98 F). We have alot of crabgrass, spurge and wild bermuda. At this time of year, do you have a suggestion on a schedule(products, etc) we can follow going forward that can get this yard back to looking great?
Will trimec 992 be safe to use now (south west Chicagoland)? I like it because no surfactant is needed. I’m also seeing some nutsedge growing. Great video!
Weed B Gone works great for crabgrass and clovers. 3 days later you can see the effects. It's not very good for nutsedge to the point I would say ineffective. The roundup with label that says nutsedge is my go to for it. It seems fairly similar in make up but it definitely works for nutsedge, takes about 8 days to start to see effects.
Ryan, hello from Minneapolis. Early this morning, before temps got above 80, I put down a combo of Tenacity and the Ortho clover product. Hoping to knock out clover, crab grass, and some creeping Charlie. Thanks for keeping me on the right path.
Thank you for your excellent channel and advice. My lawn is covered with nothing but crabgrass that has grown 3 inches thick and very dense. I'm killing it all right now. What is your advice on the best equipment to use to remove it once it is all dead? Thank you.
Craig M You make an excellent point👍 I am down to about 5 or 10 sedge plants so I will keep an eye out for them coming back. I’ll be sure to keep a little back up herbicide just in case 👍
Just bought myself a house in the South and I’m working with Centipede Grass in the front, but the backyard is a mixed bag of what looks like 5 different breeds of grass. Been watching your videos a lot recently to figure out what I should do. Thinkin about digging it all up or maybe just overseed it and then apply a weed and feed when all that takes to get rid of my crabgrass in there.
I live in manitoba Canada. I have a few spots on my yard that is just various weeds. Up here is it still best to kill weeds and lay new seed down in August or September?? Thats when I planned on trying to fix it.
My first year at lawn care here in N Minn. I had clover, plantain, dandelion, bindweed fields with little grass. Lots of other weeds at the forest line along the edges. I mixed Tenacity with Speedzone. Now 7 weeks later I have virtually no weeds in my grass. Had bleaching-gone in 2 weeks. Trying to follow your advice for my lawn. Thinking I’m looking at a 3 yr project.
I'm in Minnesota too, EP. I planted 100% KBG from Seed Superstore 3 years ago. My lawn looks absolutely AMAZING. Tenacity is a great product. Used it seeding and the following spring. Fantastic and safe. Worse case if you screw up, your lawn turns white for a couple of weeks.
Learning a lot on how to resurrect my lawn from nearly 10 years of a negligent owner. What would you recommend for attacking and killing off Field Bindweed? I'm in the cool season area.
I enjoy your video's, I have a just a little over an acre of yard to care for and the ground is ROUGH. I'm in the country still, but building is starting to approach upon me. I'm surrounded with crops, meaning, corn/beans etc. I get dandelions almost every year, but I been using Spectracite weed killer and have had good luck with it so far. I jump on the weeds as soon as the ground temps move up. I'm in the MIDWEST when we can have all four seasons in one day at times. Is this the proper method? I just purchased a Checkmate striper for my Toro Timemaster, I like to walk in the summer, but when it gets to hot, I jump onto my Exmark zero turn, lol Thanks again for your video's... Kudo's 2 U..
Could you give any comment to the treatment of wavy leaf basket grass? From what I understand it is quite invasive and difficult to control or get rid of. Once it gets mixed into a lawn, it seems impossible to salvage the lawn.
Hi All.. good morning. I’m from Canada, Ontario province and it’s hitting 40 degree Celsius since last week and even this week. Can I apply tenacity at this point of time ? If yes what’s the ideal time during the day ? I have different kind of weeds in my front lawn that includes crab grass, clovers and others. Also I have some brown patches in my front lawn due to heat. Please let me know whether I can apply the weed killer now or do I need to wait for cooler temperature ? Awaiting response.
I’ve removed a cut through driveway layer loam an new seed. I have a tremendous amount of weeds that came up with it. How can I clear the out with out killing the good grass? Scott’s 2nd step? I live in Massachusetts. Looks like grab grass and lots of other broadleaf weeds. As they were growing I tried to pluck out as many as I could is 800 ft.² too much and too many to keep up with it. I could send you pictures I just don’t know how
We've got a cherry tree in the front yard, do you have any suggestions for product safe to use near that? (it's 16 years old, so quite well established, but I also don't want the wrath of mom if I ruin a crop)
Hi I enjoy your videos and all your equipment is amazing! I’m from South Cali and recently purchased Vigoro Weed and Feed. I need to get rid of some dallis grass on my St. Augustine. The Vigoro Weed and Feed states to avoid applying to Floratam St. Augustine grass - from what I’ve been able to understand, Floratam is only sold in Florida. Would you have any info on this? I don’t want to kill my St. Augustine lol.
hey Ryan, you videos cover everything lawn/grass but never about disease..like brown spots/ fungus that could be found in moist/wet climates & weather. Any take on these?
@@ryanknorrlawncare Still worth a segment though?, No. You should be doing something for your beautiful yard to address issues here and there. DiseaseEx is one product and i think there is one more from bayer. Could be me...just being selfish lol to hear your POV on these...
Ryan, I'm not sure how much you paid for that herbicide, but my go-to herbicide for most items is a Spectracide item that has 2, 4D, Quinclorac, Dicamba and Sulfentrazone, so it takes out clover, crabgrass and nutsedge, and a total of 470+ weeds. I double checked and it also has 17 types of clover listed on the label. This spectracide mix is currently about $7.90 for a 40 ounce concentrated bottle which treats about 6,250 sq. ft. This is the price at Wally World, but the other big box stores are close enough on the price that it's not worth making a special trip anywhere. The title of the product is "SPECTRACIDE® WEED STOP® FOR LAWNS PLUS CRABGRASS KILLER CONCENTRATE". It is also worth mentioning that Tenacity is only for cool season grasses as it will harm most warm season lawns.
The problem I have with Crabgrass is that it the products I've tried don't seem to adhere to the grass blades. Does that Ortho product adhere to the Crabgrass pretty well?
Up here in Canada, WeedBGon has been rebranded to WeedBGon Max and the price was reduced by 25%. I checked the mix rates and noticed that I have to now use three times as much product to treat the same area. They've diluted the product. Disappointing and will be switching to something else. I guess they have to find a way to pay for the $10B lawsuit settlement for Roundup. It would be interesting to see if this has also happened in the U.S.
Could you make a video where you discuss how americans in a nabor community agree on how much lawn care is appropriate. I mean your house and property looks so similar and your lawn ends right where your nabor begins - with great difference. Is this a problem? Where i come from we all have a either a hedge or a fence around our houses. This would be an interesting topic - espicially for a non-american. Kind regards.
Ryan, I live in Ohio and temps have been in the 90s with lots of sun. In fact, it looks like some grasses are already turning dormant. I have a clover issue in the front yard ( sunny and hot). I have used Tenacity on it twice (3 weeks apart) and it didn’t do that good of a job and I still have wide swaths of clover choking out the grass. Should I try tenacity again in this heat or perhaps the other stuff you recommend or wait until the temps go down a bit?
Whenever I am out just doing shrubbery trimming I aways walk my yard to grab the beginnings of weeds and wish my neighbors took pride in their yards as I do
Sprayed my yard with the weed b gon that hooks to your hose directly. Came out week later, clover is thriving just as much as it was, literally no change. and now have a HUGE Brown spot in the yard. I don’t know if it’s part of the clover or if it’s the grass. Trying to wait it out to see if anything happens with it but man is it eating away at my OCD
Vinegar is not really a good alternative. It's non-selective, so you don't want to spray it in grass. It's more like an alternative to roundup/glyphosate in that sense. Also, it just doesn't work that well. It can maybe kill off weak broadleaf weeds but it isn't even that reliable for that. People get tricked by vinegar because it seems to work well and fast. If you spray it, you'll see browning within the day, and the plant looks dead pretty quickly. But it ends up recovering because for the most part it's just a surface level burn. Vinegar isn't a systemic herbicide that goes down to the root, that's why we can use it in salad dressings :)
L E I have only used it as an alternative to round up. Which kills everything I would try mixing a tablespoon to a quart and a little soap. Try it on a test area and give it at least a few days.
The past 2 summers I used Weed B Gone, with the chickweed control. It ends up killing off the undergrowth of zosia and making sections look like crap (thin/stressed). I put it down for wild violets and creeping charlie, but it's taken 3 summers to knock out most of it. I like the look of the zosia but I want the bluegrass everywhere (that's what I planted). This year if I spray the above I am waiting until Sept when I don't care if the yard gets the thinned out dead look. It's hard to have a turf quality yard when neighbors barely can mow, let alone put anything down to help the situation of the above weeds and a army of squirrels burying nuts all over the place (supposedly the cause of the zosia coming in from them having it on their claws). I'll concentrate on my other yards as it's time to kill them off now for the mid August reseed.
I need help identifying a grass type weed St. Louis area. It grows up not outward like crab grass and it's also not like nutsedge either much thicker leaf. Almost like a Corn, and grows about 10 times faster than the grass. I just seeded this area 4 weeks ago, and think whatever this is was brought in when they graded my yard after we installed a pool.. Horrible time to seed but hoping something takes now so i can just over seed this fall without killing everything off. But right now my concern is with this nuance grass.. Is it an annual and I can put some pre-emergant down in the spring to help control it or do I need to Roundup it all this fall.. I did put down Scott's starter with weed preventer, that did turn most weeds popping up white and they died off.. Didn't effect the nuance grass, I did just put down a 2nd application of Scott's starter this weekend so I hope in a week or so maybe it will help. I have pictures and have posted in a few Facebook pages with no responses. Not sure how to get the picture on TH-cam though.
Great video, I currently have a big crabgrass problem in my front lawn. Is it ok to spray this stuff with the temperatures constantly in the 90s? Would it be ok if I spray it in the evening? Thanks.
I have something that looks like crabgrass but apparently it's not crabgrass. Because quinclorac and tzone didn't work. Haven't tried tenacity yet because I have bermuda grass and it can't be applied to bermuda until it's dormant. Looked at all kinds of pictures and my best guess is quackgrass because it does have a purple redish base way down. And all the information says nothing will kill it except roundup, which won't work because that kills everything and prevents anything from growing
I don't see spurge here but after seeding my renovated lawn spotted spurge surged! I'm at my 4th mowing and want to nix this weed! Can I apply a herbicide at this stage? Purge the surged spurge! Say that 10 times!
The difference between how green your yard is and your neighbors is mind blowing! 🙌🙌🙌
I have used ortho weed b gon for years, with nothing but good results. To this day my neighbors are still stumped as to how I keep my yard looking so good. Especially being on a corner and across from the park lol. Excellent video sir.
Nice! This is the first time I've seen anyone on TH-cam promote prosedge. I have had great success with it and it's very economical.

I'd still like to have his lawn. The eletric car you probably have gave off more pollution during the making of it then his lawn will ever do. 👍

Hey can you do a video explaining how to take a care sample and what you need to do with it to have the core tested.
At 5:06 what kind of weed was that? And what did you spray on it?

Have you ever tried Tzone SE? it's Triclopyr and Dicamba, and 24d, and Sulfentrazone
I need to get this done in my back yard before fall seeding!
Do it sooner rather than later, you have to wait at least a month (dependant on the product) before sowing seed.
William Baker this is true! It stays hot here on the east coat till early September
Wow best grass color on the block lol!

I'm in Minnesota too, EP. I planted 100% KBG from Seed Superstore 3 years ago. My lawn looks absolutely AMAZING. Tenacity is a great product. Used it seeding and the following spring. Fantastic and safe. Worse case if you screw up, your lawn turns white for a couple of weeks.
Learning a lot on how to resurrect my lawn from nearly 10 years of a negligent owner. What would you recommend for attacking and killing off Field Bindweed? I'm in the cool season area.
I've had great success with the Weed B Gone on my boulevard area. That area gets a lot of heat and crab grass can pop up quickly.
I enjoy your video's, I have a just a little over an acre of yard to care for and the ground is ROUGH. I'm in the country still, but building is starting to approach upon me. I'm surrounded with crops, meaning, corn/beans etc.
I get dandelions almost every year, but I been using Spectracite weed killer and have had good luck with it so far. I jump on the weeds as soon as the ground temps move up. I'm in the MIDWEST when we can have all four seasons in one day at times.
Is this the proper method?
I just purchased a Checkmate striper for my Toro Timemaster, I like to walk in the summer, but when it gets to hot, I jump onto my Exmark zero turn, lol
Thanks again for your video's... Kudo's 2 U..
If I have large amounts of clover AND crabgrass, can I use both Ortho products together?
I live in minnetonka minnesota temps are in the 90's have clover problem can i apply t-zone when its this hot
Could you give any comment to the treatment of wavy leaf basket grass? From what I understand it is quite invasive and difficult to control or get rid of. Once it gets mixed into a lawn, it seems impossible to salvage the lawn.
Hi All.. good morning. I’m from Canada, Ontario province and it’s hitting 40 degree Celsius since last week and even this week. Can I apply tenacity at this point of time ? If yes what’s the ideal time during the day ? I have different kind of weeds in my front lawn that includes crab grass, clovers and others. Also I have some brown patches in my front lawn due to heat. Please let me know whether I can apply the weed killer now or do I need to wait for cooler temperature ? Awaiting response.
Round up for lawns destroys sledges. I have used it for two seasons, Sulfentrezone is in the label,
How do you like those cabinets in the garage? I'm thinking about outfitting my garage with something like that
Do you need to water your lawn after spraying the weed b gon??? Thanks
I’ve removed a cut through driveway layer loam an new seed. I have a tremendous amount of weeds that came up with it. How can I clear the out with out killing the good grass? Scott’s 2nd step? I live in Massachusetts. Looks like grab grass and lots of other broadleaf weeds. As they were growing I tried to pluck out as many as I could is 800 ft.² too much and too many to keep up with it. I could send you pictures I just don’t know how
Lot of clover up in the Waterloo area too. I've been using the purple label that you got in your video. Kills it in a week or so.
We've got a cherry tree in the front yard, do you have any suggestions for product safe to use near that? (it's 16 years old, so quite well established, but I also don't want the wrath of mom if I ruin a crop)
If been using Round Up for Weeds-Save for Lawns Northern Mix. 2 years now and it’s worth trying in back yard first then your front.
Hi I enjoy your videos and all your equipment is amazing! I’m from South Cali and recently purchased Vigoro Weed and Feed. I need to get rid of some dallis grass on my St. Augustine. The Vigoro Weed and Feed states to avoid applying to Floratam St. Augustine grass - from what I’ve been able to understand, Floratam is only sold in Florida. Would you have any info on this? I don’t want to kill my St. Augustine lol.
What ratio have you used when mixing tenacity with weed b gon with crabgrass killer?
Can you do the whole lawn with weed B gone in july for example or is it more for spotting? I have more weeds then grass.
5:47 Obviously you have a neighbor like ours. He has a lot of Clover.
Dumb question but if I'm using tenacity, do I need to pull all the weeds out first? Some have grown a bit excessive.
hey Ryan, you videos cover everything lawn/grass but never about disease..like brown spots/ fungus that could be found in moist/wet climates & weather. Any take on these?
Not many homeowner products available for this. Pro fungicide is big time $$$
@@ryanknorrlawncare Still worth a segment though?, No. You should be doing something for your beautiful yard to address issues here and there. DiseaseEx is one product and i think there is one more from bayer. Could be me...just being selfish lol to hear your POV on these...
Ryan, I'm not sure how much you paid for that herbicide, but my go-to herbicide for most items is a Spectracide item that has 2, 4D, Quinclorac, Dicamba and Sulfentrazone, so it takes out clover, crabgrass and nutsedge, and a total of 470+ weeds. I double checked and it also has 17 types of clover listed on the label. This spectracide mix is currently about $7.90 for a 40 ounce concentrated bottle which treats about 6,250 sq. ft. This is the price at Wally World, but the other big box stores are close enough on the price that it's not worth making a special trip anywhere. The title of the product is "SPECTRACIDE® WEED STOP® FOR LAWNS PLUS CRABGRASS KILLER CONCENTRATE". It is also worth mentioning that Tenacity is only for cool season grasses as it will harm most warm season lawns.
The problem I have with Crabgrass is that it the products I've tried don't seem to adhere to the grass blades. Does that Ortho product adhere to the Crabgrass pretty well?
what is your suggestion on quack grass?
Up here in Canada, WeedBGon has been rebranded to WeedBGon Max and the price was reduced by 25%. I checked the mix rates and noticed that I have to now use three times as much product to treat the same area. They've diluted the product. Disappointing and will be switching to something else. I guess they have to find a way to pay for the $10B lawsuit settlement for Roundup. It would be interesting to see if this has also happened in the U.S.
Could you make a video where you discuss how americans in a nabor community agree on how much lawn care is appropriate.
I mean your house and property looks so similar and your lawn ends right where your nabor begins - with great difference. Is this a problem?
Where i come from we all have a either a hedge or a fence around our houses.
This would be an interesting topic - espicially for a non-american. Kind regards.
For real to get that neighbor line do you tarp it? To make a stairght line or is it spreader edger?
Ryan, I spot killed the crabgrass, so now I've got these brown spots. What next? Do you have a video on what to do next?
Ryan, I live in Ohio and temps have been in the 90s with lots of sun. In fact, it looks like some grasses are already turning dormant. I have a clover issue in the front yard ( sunny and hot). I have used Tenacity on it twice (3 weeks apart) and it didn’t do that good of a job and I still have wide swaths of clover choking out the grass. Should I try tenacity again in this heat or perhaps the other stuff you recommend or wait until the temps go down a bit?
Tenacity did a great job xcept 4 clover did twice clover just giggled at it
Whenever I am out just doing shrubbery trimming I aways walk my yard to grab the beginnings of weeds and wish my neighbors took pride in their yards as I do
I her ya, i swear my neighbors are selling dandelions on the black market.
Sprayed my yard with the weed b gon that hooks to your hose directly. Came out week later, clover is thriving just as much as it was, literally no change. and now have a HUGE Brown spot in the yard. I don’t know if it’s part of the clover or if it’s the grass. Trying to wait it out to see if anything happens with it but man is it eating away at my OCD
Can you test out some eco alternatives? I can't get any of these chemicals here in Canada.
Mackenzie Green
Vinegar and a touch of dish soap as a surfactant. But don’t overdo the vinegar it’s a defoliant
@@charles-y2z6c 30% vinegar? And the quantities of ratios please? You mix all in the bottle and spray?
@@le8971
Just do a quick google search about vinegar weed killer. its all over the internet
Vinegar is not really a good alternative. It's non-selective, so you don't want to spray it in grass. It's more like an alternative to roundup/glyphosate in that sense. Also, it just doesn't work that well. It can maybe kill off weak broadleaf weeds but it isn't even that reliable for that. People get tricked by vinegar because it seems to work well and fast. If you spray it, you'll see browning within the day, and the plant looks dead pretty quickly. But it ends up recovering because for the most part it's just a surface level burn. Vinegar isn't a systemic herbicide that goes down to the root, that's why we can use it in salad dressings :)

I have only used it as an alternative to round up. Which kills everything I would try mixing a tablespoon to a quart and a little soap. Try it on a test area and give it at least a few days.
Talk about domination line @ 5:47. If I was the neighbor, I would be too depressed to go out and mow my lawn. Damn.
The past 2 summers I used Weed B Gone, with the chickweed control. It ends up killing off the undergrowth of zosia and making sections look like crap (thin/stressed). I put it down for wild violets and creeping charlie, but it's taken 3 summers to knock out most of it. I like the look of the zosia but I want the bluegrass everywhere (that's what I planted). This year if I spray the above I am waiting until Sept when I don't care if the yard gets the thinned out dead look.
It's hard to have a turf quality yard when neighbors barely can mow, let alone put anything down to help the situation of the above weeds and a army of squirrels burying nuts all over the place (supposedly the cause of the zosia coming in from them having it on their claws).
I'll concentrate on my other yards as it's time to kill them off now for the mid August reseed.
Wish I had Ryan's lawn
What have you found that controls foxtail?
If I've got crabgrass, clover and dandelion, would this work or should I also use the other Ortho weedBgon product that is for dandelion/clover?
I need help identifying a grass type weed St. Louis area. It grows up not outward like crab grass and it's also not like nutsedge either much thicker leaf. Almost like a Corn, and grows about 10 times faster than the grass. I just seeded this area 4 weeks ago, and think whatever this is was brought in when they graded my yard after we installed a pool.. Horrible time to seed but hoping something takes now so i can just over seed this fall without killing everything off. But right now my concern is with this nuance grass.. Is it an annual and I can put some pre-emergant down in the spring to help control it or do I need to Roundup it all this fall.. I did put down Scott's starter with weed preventer, that did turn most weeds popping up white and they died off.. Didn't effect the nuance grass, I did just put down a 2nd application of Scott's starter this weekend so I hope in a week or so maybe it will help.
I have pictures and have posted in a few Facebook pages with no responses. Not sure how to get the picture on TH-cam though.
Temps in Ohio are over 90 everyday this week with no relief in sight. Is it better to spray at sunset or at sunrise?
How long should I wait after applying this to over seed?
Is spraying crab grass herbicide safe on a bermuda grass lawn?
Great video, I currently have a big crabgrass problem in my front lawn. Is it ok to spray this stuff with the temperatures constantly in the 90s? Would it be ok if I spray it in the evening? Thanks.
I have something that looks like crabgrass but apparently it's not crabgrass. Because quinclorac and tzone didn't work. Haven't tried tenacity yet because I have bermuda grass and it can't be applied to bermuda until it's dormant. Looked at all kinds of pictures and my best guess is quackgrass because it does have a purple redish base way down. And all the information says nothing will kill it except roundup, which won't work because that kills everything and prevents anything from growing
if I have fertilized and put seed down, you can not use the Ortho...correct.
My biggest problem is nutsedge. In NY most of the nutsedge killers are illegal. Tenacity kills it.
I don't see spurge here but after seeding my renovated lawn spotted spurge surged! I'm at my 4th mowing and want to nix this weed! Can I apply a herbicide at this stage? Purge the surged spurge! Say that 10 times!
I wish I could get these products in Ontario Canada.
