Doc, at 11:50, you are spot on. Wish this video was made a few months ago! We had a 400 sqft area of dallisgrass and ended up spraying Round Up (same as you show) to kill it all. Well, I ended up with a 400 sqft brown spot that I dug up (dethatched and tilled). Now, considering the area was only dallisgrass, it probably would not have made much of a difference if I had used the sponge method, but to listeners, DON'T liberally spray RoundUp everywhere in your Bermuda lawn or you WILL kill your Bermuda. Now, the good news is Bermuda can grow and spread via rhizomes and stolons, so after about 3 months I've got good Bermuda growth occurring in the 400 sqft dirt spot and it should fill in over time. I've fed the spot treatments of humichar, PGF complete on normal fertilizing runs and have laid down fertilizers higher in nitrogen, just in that spot, to encourage growth. Of course, I must water it 1 to 2 times per day to keep the soil moist or it will dry out. But, I got rid of that dallisgrass, and it is true...it is much tougher than crabgrass and nutsedge.
I had something like that pipe for my A/C u it as well. It ended up killing back a section of my Bermuda with too much water from the constant dripping. Ground was constantly soggy. Then the nutsedge moved into the bare areas. Ended up having to route it to a buried downspout drain. Other than that, great video! Have some patches of dallisgrass that will be in for a big surprise...
Doc, thank you for all the time and effort you put into the videos. I've learned a ton over ~1 year I've been subbed to your channel and have been able to fire my lawn company. Dallisgrass has always been the one weed the lawn company could never control. I did 3 applications of MSMA roughly 2 weeks apart and was able to eliminate nearly 95% of the Dallisgrass. Just curious, why do you not recommend MSMA? Everything else I've tried in the past has not been able to control it. It really is an AMAZING product! Thanks!
Doc, those seed heads that you showed wasn't dallis grass. It looked more like carpetgrass, but it was not dallis. I had a yard full of dallis grass one year and killed it quickly with a common garden hoe. Sprinkle a little fresh compost in the damaged area, and it will fill in with new grass within a couple of weeks. No chemicals - and it was highly effective and in short order.
1/2 of my front yard of my newly purchased home was littered with Dallisgrass. Once i learned it was an annual i got rid of it all by the next spring by mowing b4 the seed stalks had a chance to grow & drop seeds. I mowed about every 4 days. In between mowings, I'd pull any seed stalks that might arise. There weren't many. It was work but it paid off. Dallisgrass will always be a battle for me bcz the lawn next door has an infestation & the lawn isn't mowed often enough to control the seeds.
Over here in north Texas the AC drain is plumbed into a bathroom sink drain. If that drain line is plugged up then it will fill the drain pan under the blower in the attic and a backup drain line will take the condensate outside. That is usually how you know the main drain line is plugged. If both the main and the backup drain lines are plugged or non functional then you have a leak in your attic.
Hey Doc, would this treatment for dallisgrass/torpedograss work for oxalis? Oxalis clover has broad enough leaves that it has almost taken over a somewhat large section of the lawn.
What do you think about mixing Tenacity, Surfactant and Laser Blue Dye together, then spraying your lawn? Live in Jersey it seems to work for me on my rye grass… Tenacity kills many different weeds...
Hello Doc I’m a new Homeowner I’ve been watching your videos and thank You. I have fairly new sod with crap grass growing in it. Should I wait to apply the Bio Advance in the fall? GA summer weather is pretty hot right now. Also the PGF Complete fertilizer should I wait till I clear the weeds up? Your input on this would be great
Even though it's not on the label I used quinclorac 75 on heavy patches of dallisgrass and it knocked one patch back so the Bermuda is filling in. The other patch it totally killed the dallis. I am going to hit it again and apply prodiamine spray in split app there are a few patches throughout the 2 acre lawn I will spot spray. Any thoughts on the quinclorac?
Doc, what's the best way to maintain a large corner lot. Bermuda Grass, but I have little time to water it and cut like I want to. What's best to keep the best lawn. Height also
Hey Doc in my state if you see that pipe leaking that means the main drain is clogged. There is two pipes one goes to your regular home drain and the other goes outside or sometimes inside your home where you can see water coming out, if the 2nd pipe gets clogged you can get water damage. This is when the central air is in your attic.
I had a major Dallisgrass infestation in my front yard. I fought it all summer and finally gave up and spot sprayed Glyf to kill it off. There isn't much Bermuda left, maybe half the yard. The Dallisgrass is finally dead but I've also been working on a new patch in the back. I had to bring in fill to raise an area to improve drainage for a new workshop and to keep this raised area from being under water. I was planning on seeding the bare spots in front where the Dallisgrass was and seeding the big back patch but it's been so hot (high 90's every day in Dallas area) that I've been limited as to how much I can do without turning myself into fertilizer. I have 10 pounds of Yukon seed. Is it too late to put that down during the first week of August? If you think I should wait till spring, will Yukon seed still be viable if stored over the winter? I'm hoping to still plant now so I can use PE in the spring to get the crabgrass under control.
Would love for you to do some tips and cover products for cool season Kentucky blue and perennial eyes, sun and shade mix for us in the north zone 5 and lower..
I seeded my lawn with “dune Bermuda” seed, about 10 weeks ago and it has came up and done great this summer.. any recommendations on products to put down to improve lawn/ help with weeds and crab grass? Or do I need to wait until next spring to apply products! Thx
Hey doc I sprayed permethrin sfr this morning for the moths in my yard can I do my cool down afternoon watering or should I wait 24 hours and just water tomorrow. I am amazed how humi char and pgf saves my grass this year thanks again for all your info
I couldn’t get a good enough view but the seed head you showed looked like either crab or carpet grass. Dallisgrass seedhead looks much different. I know carpet spreads w rhizomes and stolons like you mention. That’s what had me thinking you have carpet grass
Hey Doc, i bought 2 bags of PGF complete and it's not dg particles, looks more like chicken feed. Bought from Amazon as PGF complete. Im using it weekly but with near zero results. My yard is Royal Zoysia cut to 1 inch. Im about 10 miles from Clemson, which is where i get my soil tests done also. Did i get an older product or did they screw up? Appreciate a response, thanks
Doc. Im struggling with these seed heads. I havent leveled my lawn yet so im not cutting it to low. I know you said seed head means you have a healthy lawn but man after 1 day of cutting it grows back. Are you still dealing with seed heads?
Depends on how the HVAC company installed it. Sounds like yours is draining into your washing machine drain line. Some companies do a direct line to the outside of the home plus an emergency backup line
Right now I am not doing any negatives until I had a chance to do the pre-emergent granular and liquid as you recommended. see the result of goose grass next season. is the pre-emergent a mix of different chemical approach? or just prodimine water disolved or some other pre-emergent chemical in mix approach?
I’ve got such a problem with different weeds it’s a never ending battle. I kill stuff...new stuff comes up. Just doesn’t stop. Can’t figure it out. How would you handle fescue that is in my Bermuda?
Doc, the reason that water is coming from that pipe is because there is an issue with the unit inside, that IS the emergency drain. There is an issue with the main drain that is supposed to drain into the house plumbing, she needs to call an A/C guy to fix whats wrong with the main drain.
You are aware that that is the emergency pan overflow drain. The real drain is hooked into the plumbing, sink or tub p trap. That line is clearly clogged and needs to be cleaned out. You have to go to the attic to do that.
Hi, i am trying to get on your site but i am bloced. Can you tell me why and is it possible to get on sime whitelist? I can send you pic. Your access to this site has been limited by the site owner.
Revolver and Celsius works pretty well in a couple of treatments. You'll yellow up the turf so do it in two 30 day increments preferably around the transition time. I'm gonna look up Target 6 Plus since I work in a commercial setting and we could be able to try it out.
@@HowTowithDoc Been using it for years following the directions. Haven't found anything that kills daillis, Johnson grss as well. So ill keep using it till there is no more.
I respect your knowledge but MSMA is not illegal for homeowners to use on their own lawns in all states. It is however illegal for you/companies to treat other properties with.
Not true....... the FEDERAL restrictions are from the EPA. "Recently MSMA was banned for use on golf courses, which was the main use for it. We primarily sell MSMA into the right-of-way vegetation management and range-and-pasture market. There are a few agricultural uses for MSMA during the cotton growing season. It is important to refer to the label from the manufacturer for the most up-to-date application sites for MSMA herbicide. We try to keep our site as updated as possible, but cannot guarantee the validity of the statements on MSMA."
PGF went down Tuesday, it's Saturday and my lawn is really greening up. Thanks, starting a binge watch of your older content!
Really like my Yard Star!The build process was fun! Using all the Andersons products and seeing very aggressive results one season in! Thanks Doc!
I couldn't agree more. Transformed my lawn in one season with anderson products.
That was great Doc! Loads of info. Much appreciated!

I use PGF Complete and Milorganite every 4 weeks. Never burned the lawn. Can back up that claim. In Georgia too.

I use an artists paintbrush and coat the individual leaves. I don’t have large clumps though. I catch them early.

Dallis grass makes up the most of my cool season salad of a lawn.
Looking at the prices of the weed treatment for Dallis Grass, I think I'll just dig it up... and my yard has A LOT of Dallis Grass in it.
Even though it's not on the label I used quinclorac 75 on heavy patches of dallisgrass and it knocked one patch back so the Bermuda is filling in. The other patch it totally killed the dallis.

Be gentle and wait for late winter for pre-emergent. Treat any weeds after lawn goes dormant.

www.pgfcomplete.com/pgf-complete-label/ There is a good picture there.
@@HowTowithDoc Thanks for the response, what the Andersons sent me is 7-1-2
MSMA works very well.
It's just not legal for homeowners to use.
Can PGF complete and super juice be used in very extreme heat like 115. That’s around the hottest it gets in my area. I have Bermuda
As long as you have water... yes. Mainly PGF in light coats.
Doc. Im struggling with these seed heads. I havent leveled my lawn yet so im not cutting it to low. I know you said seed head means you have a healthy lawn but man after 1 day of cutting it grows back. Are you still dealing with seed heads?
Edwin Vargas Seed heads mean the Bermuda is stressed. I.e. not enough water or lack of nutrients.
Is that not the emergency line. My house drains on the inside unless it’s clogged then it drains to the outside??
Depends on how the HVAC company installed it. Sounds like yours is draining into your washing machine drain line. Some companies do a direct line to the outside of the home plus an emergency backup line
Doc, is there any product one can purchase that kills invading grasses like Zoysia or Centipede grass in a Bermuda lawn?
@@georgelennon3618 thanks I'll take a look!
Hi Doc, You mentioned Dallis and/or goose grass; goose grass is a nightmare, I did use glyphosate against goose. is revolver a true goose suppressant?
Right now I am not doing any negatives until I had a chance to do the pre-emergent granular and liquid as you recommended. see the result of goose grass next season. is the pre-emergent a mix of different chemical approach? or just prodimine water disolved or some other pre-emergent chemical in mix approach?
Love your videos and your grass makes me want to perform better every season!
Yes. Mixed with something like Dismiss.
I’ve got such a problem with different weeds it’s a never ending battle. I kill stuff...new stuff comes up. Just doesn’t stop. Can’t figure it out. How would you handle fescue that is in my Bermuda?
www.bermudalawnguide.com/ Pre-Emergent is the key
Is glyco short for glyphosate?
I think so
Any advice about MSMA Target 6 Plus for dallisgrass in bermuda?
It's just not legal for homeowners to use.
How about signal grass, it pulls easy but nothing really kills it.
What about bahai grass? Same?
Doc, the reason that water is coming from that pipe is because there is an issue with the unit inside, that IS the emergency drain. There is an issue with the main drain that is supposed to drain into the house plumbing, she needs to call an A/C guy to fix whats wrong with the main drain.
Southern climate homes don't have an interior drain system. Around here they ALL drain exterior with one tube.
Doc take a look on this picture and let me know please if that product bio advance helps with crabgrass
Sorry I thought I can insert photo in the comment but my crabgrass is big form !
You are aware that that is the emergency pan overflow drain. The real drain is hooked into the plumbing, sink or tub p trap. That line is clearly clogged and needs to be cleaned out. You have to go to the attic to do that.
Must be a "northern thing". All the units in our area only have ONE drain line and it is external to the home. No inside lines.

Dalliagrass is the devil. The worst weed you could have to invade any southern lawn
I don't know man... you ever tried to get rid of torpedo grass?
It's bad alright, but in my yard on the gulf coast the devils are lespedeza and dichondra.
I assume you mean glyPHO. Whats glyCO?
You better call an AC guy. That’s not supposed to have water coming out it. It’s a back up drain for when the primary stops up.
No, all the systems in this area have ONE drain and it's external.
Dude that is one lonely crabgrass... comedy!
Target 6 plus for Dallisgrass and crabgrass without killing bermuda. 2 oz. Per gallon. 2.5 gallons for $100. Revolver is way too expensive.
It's just not legal for homeowners to use.
Revolver and Celsius works pretty well in a couple of treatments. You'll yellow up the turf so do it in two 30 day increments preferably around the transition time.
I'm gonna look up Target 6 Plus since I work in a commercial setting and we could be able to try it out.
Oh, that's MSMA. NEVERMIND then. Revolver plus Celsius, surfactant and double apps work pretty well.
Why not just spray the Dallis with MSMA and be done with it? Cheap and easy
I see barb has that sentricon system 👍👍👍
Dallisgrass in bermuda? Use target6 herbicide
Target 6 will have that dallisgrass smoked in about 5 days and reapply after 7 days to be sure of kill.
It's just not legal for homeowners to use.
🤫 celsius spike with msm turf for dallas grass
Do you ever swim in the pool? We want to see Doc taking a plunge off of the diving board.
Looks like Bahia to me. Definitely not goose grass.
Yes, the area is a mix of all of them.
