- This is pretty much a "how to kill weeds in crack and crevice" and also "how to kill weeds in landscape beds" video that just happens to focus on spurge.
Here is my original weed torch review:
• Propane Weed Burner To...
This is a good all around spurge (and other weed) control that will work in cool and warm season grasses: amzn.to/2gwDTy3
SpeedZone will also work well in cool season lawns and Bermuda (but not St Augustine): amzn.to/2gwHyMg

I feel like you were speaking directly to me in this video! Clover, Spurge and nutsedge are what I've been dealing with
Hey LCN I did the Fall Program from your videos and my lawn looks great. Thanks from California!
Thanks for helping me finally learn what that weed is. I live in Clearwater and have been fighting it since moving here last year from Pittsburgh. That stuff grows anywhere. I found it in Pittsburgh on the tiniest crack on my asphalt driveway.
The piano bar music at the end was incredible! What a shame I watched this on my lunch break and not at home sipping on a Manhattan smoking a cigar! The rest of the video was great as well.
I have used Stonewall pre emergent the last 3 years and only had to spot spray weeds.Timing is everything.
I would like to say we used the mats around our house about 9 years ago and then topped it with lava rock. We never had a single weed issue in 9 years. We moved out a month ago and are going to do the same to our current place as the weeds are all through the landscaping.
Awesome video, thanks for posting!
LOL love it! Here in TX, spurge is a major pain in da a**...thanx for the tips. I subbed.
I would love for you to do a special in my lawn in Largo. I follow your tips and right now I have a nice looking rye grass lawn in the winter but I want to get ready for spring with my Bermuda and this is where I think I mess things up.
I'm a new subscriber!! Great videos and I'm learning a lot! Keep it up!!
Another great video love the tips I guess I'm buying some blindside for my St augustine
Fine tip markers.... just the tips right?
I've had a lot of luck with Speedzone red label herbicide. It's ok to use in grasses as well. However be careful to measure carefully because it will kill off anything and everything if mixed too strong. I actually did this on purpose to kill off stubborn unwanted ground cover in my beds and it worked better than glyphosate.
Great vid, I look forward to every Sunday and can't wait for the next one.
I'm so glad I found your channel. We purchased some spray on grass. We got grass, but we also got spurge and purslane. If you can tell me how to get rid of purslane (and this video), I will have a beautiful lawn. Thank you so much.
Thumbs up for the Christmas tree on the calendar Ha ha haaa. Great vid, I learned something new today besides people skip parts of your videos lol.
thank you love all your info
Thanks for fine point sharpies!
you're welcome! :)
This was very helpful thank you so much I do have a question I live in Southern California where the majority of my landscaping is xeri scaping which is basically I have a lot of areas of rock and pea gravel. can you let me know a little bit more about your blow torch that you use as I think that might be helpful in a large rock area that I have
Nice video!
I have spotted spurge both in my lawn and in my rose garden. Can I use quinclorac 75df without fear of harming my tall fescue, roses, lantana, and two lemon trees? I appreciate your TH-cam channel and how much knowledge you are able to impart to me. You're an educator indeed. Thank you.
I was wondering why those mats never worked! done with those. And as always great sunset at the end
Jake The Lawn Kid , hey Jake, we need some hot Midwestern lawn action. is it too late to put down my Halloween Milo app this late in northern il?
You can still put it down. It will be a dormant feeding, but that will help the grass come back strong in the spring. As a rule of thumb, you can put down Milorganite any time the ground isn't frozen.
Great advice mate 👍🇬🇧
Great educational video. I have quite a bit of spurge in my postage stamp. Unfortunately it's too late to pre-emerge but with what you've given me I have a weapon for next year. I also have a weapon of knowledge on how to get rid of it this year. Not going to be easy in that I have roses growing where the spurge is and I also have lantana and even RTF... None of which I want to kill. Of course. So thank you very much. And if you have any suggestions please feel free to give them. I will take them to heart.
great info thanks. Hoping to starting studying for comm appl license, so more videos like this informative weed identification and selective elimination is MUCH appreciated. One caution...I cant speak for the pine straw mulch, but im guessing that stuff is pretty easy to ignite! Might want to consider a fire extinguisher or water hose handy if you are running the torch to kill the weeds.
yeah I don't use the torch anywhere near it - I just did the little fire in the end for effect :)
Wow Allyn, you know your stuff! I've spent hours pulling up that Spurge! Lawn filled up with it and it's killing my back! Excellent video. I couldn't write the names of the chemicals down fast enough, so will Roundup work alone here? What is the Glyrosale + Dithiopyr, sp? HELP!
Last year is when I noticed spurge suddenly appearing in yard. It is now starting to try to take over yard.
I like to use prosecutor and dimension(its clear not yellow). There is a pre-emegent that last 8months, but its $700.
Now I used your hybrid organic fertilizer, can I start your full organic lawn program.
Triclopyr is about all you need for spurges and oxails in my opinion. Turflon is what I use. Typically takes no more than a tablespoon in a gallon! It works every time and does not volatilize as much as Dicamba or even 2,4-D Amine (let alone the ester)... Though don't get me wrong your three-way will work or four-way like Speedzone works, too.
BFATE... i could feel the sand between my toes..... Happy Holidays Hane family.
Just purchased a home in OK. The home has bermuda and we're moving in next week. Should I put anything down on my yard? Was thinking Milorganite. Appreciate the videos!
I call it splurge. Loves it right around the sprinkler head. Notice if you break off a piece you get a white sap(just like a plumaria). The roots will grow from that point where it dries.
In Michign, for a lawn in the country, my grass looked pretty good even w/o any fertilizers. Then this past autumn I experienced big patches of bare lawn, and the only thing that survived was spurge. I pulled a lot out as it was the only thing left in large patches. All the leaves of the plant were gone and only the flat stems were evident. I want to treat the remaining lawn with dithiopyr, but I also need to reseed the lawn at the same time to cover the huge bare spots. Will the dithiopyr kill my grass seeds?
Thanks allyn,great info, now I have a plan for attack next spring on my spurge😀😀
awesome!
Have Spurge in my Emerald Zoyisa. What is best to use to get rid of the Spurge?
Hey Allyn how do I get ride of the Virginia button weed? It looks like snow here in South Fl. Thanks
Good video. Hello from Bakersfield CA
hello and thanks for watching!
good info
can you tell me what model the torch you are using. I am a senior and it looks so easy to use.
Question: Why not use Ortho GroundClear on the pavers? One application will get you like 4-6 months of no growth on hard surfaces?
Video on bent grass removal?
Allyn.... Bro, thank god you torched that last weed, I was like burn it!!
of course!
I’ve been struggling with spurge in my Zoysia. Northern Alabama - drought conditions with few and far between heavy downpours. I didn’t see anything about Zoysia. Any recommendations? Thanks.
Bolivar! Nice Stick!
good eye!
you ever use the flame for weeds anywhere else besides concrete? mulch beds maybe?
I have to ask but is the first time you used this on your walkway or is this an annual application you have to do?
Nice tips! what do you call your flamethrower?!! where to get it?. I have to have that to kill my weeds on the concrete - they are annoying and hard to pull.
You prefer Blindside over Celsius WG in St. Augustine?
What is the name of the song you used at the beginning of the video?
At about 12:04 mentioned Crabgrass and a another one weed I have never heard of, (pola... something) how do you spell it?
If you apply torch, will the weed survive since the roots are still alive?
propane torch link?
Can you recommend something that doesn't cause cancer?
What about fescue grass?
good and very helpful video on a weed I often get but didn't know the name of it until now. always get a kick out of you pulling stuff out of your car when is your wife going to let you buy a truck? You could really use a small truck due to all the stuff you haul.
hoping to get a truck in the spring! But I really do like my car.
I will be rehabbing my in laws yard full of jack weed. What is the best method for getting rid of it?
How do I get rid of spurge in my newly seeded lawn
I like the Fleetwood Mac intro. :)
Just a heads up your links aren't working.
I think that you would be wise to spray it without the Round up it is going to do more damage than needed.
You should consider putting some quality polymeric sand in your pavestone. I've done patios and walkways for customers that say they've been weed free for 5+ years
interesting idea! This was installed when I moved in and I don't know much about hardscaping anyway - I will look into this!
The Lawn Care Nut I understand. As much as we all enjoy lawn care, I'd much rather be focusing my efforts of growth of good plants vs death of bad ones.
Make sure it's POLYMERIC Sand. when it gets wet the first time, it has silica binders in it that bind the sand together forming a seal between the pavers. Sweep into cracks, give it a light cleaning with the blower, mist with water hose. You may need two apps to get a good fill.
My contractor used polymeric sand and I will never use it again. Terrible
Great video! Question: what's your take on using Atrazine as a pre-emergent for St. Augustine (Floratam type) grass? I'm in North Florida.
+Eye Heart Sushi at razing works great but is restricted use so homeowners can only obtain the less potent formulations making it mush less effective.
The Lawn Care Nut Thanks, man. I'll look into getting the product you linked. Hopefully I'll do better with my lawn and weed control in 2017.
What about using vinegar, salt, dishwashing soap?
Love the vids!!!
It doesn't really work. I have done this before and it will kill your grass before it takes out a weed.
Hotrod Hog yep so use it only on weeds. I use it on sidewalk and driveway cracks as well as in plant beds.
Just not in grass, those I just hand pick.
I've not tried any "home remedies" like that before but it would be a good idea and make some good video content. thanks for the idea!
yeah give it a shot and add it to your next video. Maybe an update on the st Augustine and any winter prep suggestions for grass & plants. Even though winters in Florida lately have been 50s at night and 70s day.
I've had decent results using vinegar on weeds when I sprayed in a wooded area in my back yard. Now it doesn't kill as quickly or efficiently as glyphosate but it's a nice alternative to harsh chemicals!
thanks LCN great info here. btw i read in the comments before about doing the "natural" method of home recipes. any experience with them or maybe a video?
Look at you in your short sleeved shirt and sunglasses. Rubbing it in! Lol
it is quite nice here, for sure!
Allyn is to late in the year in South Carolina to put milorginate down ( great work )
you could apply as your winterizer now no prob.
I laughed so hard @12:43 because that's exactly my reaction too! >.
Hey Lawn Care nut! How's that push sprayer work? Have you done a review on it, my googlefoo did not answer me.
I've seen the price online, and as a home user even the $299 one is a little hard to justify. But if it made oz/1000 sqft easier the engineer in me might just do it...
NJ Troutstalker I also am curious on that walk behind sprayer! Lot easier than a lil hand pump walking around the yard! Def a chunk of $!
so the preemergent treatments last for 3-4 weeks in soil... That means timing is everything. I am not loosing to crab grass in '17.
they last 3-4 MONTHS, but still, timing is super critical because you have to get the product down prior to germination.
I am just about 1:15 seconds into this video and have to wonder...Who the hell skips any parts of these vids? Everyone watches the whole dang thing Allyn! Lol. Now on with the rest of the video!
ha ha nice!
I put down any mat type stuff and i geow the most beautiful bermuda lawn ever..lol
just curious who gave this a thumbs down? TLCN has the best videos on you tube.
people for the ethical treatment for spurge (PETS)
The Lawn Care Nut 😎
what's up with the dolphin wall? haha, great vids!
it needs to be touched up!
Lmao on the white boots
I wish it was so easy to get rid of the grout infestation of my garden. Whenever I put down any chemical, then next day it sits there, sips a cup of that stuff and waves at me...
Gonna throw a different take on this.
1. NEVER use fire as recommended in this video. Two reasons for this - The first being is that the seeds will jump (several feet even) when you apply heat. The second is that the plant WILL come back with shorter stems and what seems to be concentrated seed heads. Unlike other weeds with soft crowns where fire works, this has a woody stem (crown) over the (also woody) taproot that will protect it. Fire on weeds works when you heat just enough to make the leaves shrivel, thus cutting it's food supply and works on soft tissued plants - this is not one of those.
2. Just use a mix of Speedzone and Mesotrione once they first pop up and you won't see them again for at least a month. Then reapply if you see them again (you probably won't). Best and cheapest method there is.
We moved into a house that was vacant for about 2 years and we have quite a few trees or weeds that turned into trees (they don't look like any normal tree) that have grown in the landscape. Now I have cut them all down but they keep coming back. How do I kill them FOREVER??? These things will grow even if I cut them just below the soil line - DAM ROOTS - HELP ME PLEASE!!! Oh yeah (edit) we later found out that the people before us was alergic to everything and never put down any fert or as she put it POISON so that's part of our problem. Let me tell you one thing we THREW IT DOWN this summer and it's going to take next summer of THROWING IT DOWN to get it thick as your lawn was at your old house.
Sachi In Wisconsin cut the stem, and paint the wound with 41% glyphosate.
Let it grow a little and then spray the foliage with glyphosate. It will kill it systemically trough the leaves. Once dead, then remove what is left.
DRWebster93 Guy Bucktastik Thanks guys I will give that a go next year
Oh boy that lawn looked pretty bad back then.
3 years later it’s like almost perfect
u should build an outdoor BBQ pit and invite Jay over for a 32 Oz steak
ha ha nice idea
Allyn, I wish you were my next door neighbour.
awe that's nice!
Be careful with that torch. I had an accident when doing that and started a little fire. Thanks
Put down the freezing torch. Just use boiling water.
how to kill weeds in "cracks" lol
Buy a spray bottle
Buy Vinegar
Buy Dish Detergent
50:1 Mixture
Spray on Spurge
Spurge dies
Happy homeowner

Freaking torch. Speller on phone. Just use sense a bit of boiling water safe, low carbon footprint.
Ah, I am dealing with the dreaded spurge now!
