[zemog]

what did you apply and what rate did you go out at ?

[Stephen]

Thanks, I put it down yesterday

[zemog]

prodiamine ( generic barricade ) or pendulum ( pendamethalin) , both are good prodiamine works better on poa anna imo.

Johnson grass is controlled with the February pre emergence application.

Note: both will stain concrete and clothing, make sure and apply when dry and sweep or blow off side walks.

recommendations on a pre-m, preferably one that works on johnson grass

Yes it will be fine ,
Time to do the fall pre m if you haven't already

I was just wondering about that last night. I need to put mine down.

fall pre is for winter weeds only , crabgrass isn't in this application , Poa annual rescue grass and many broadleaf weeds are main targets with the fall ( put down by oct 1 for north Texas for best results ) . Spectacle is the best although very expensive prodiamine then pendamethalin for fall herbicides.
Late February application is for crabgrass , goose grass etc , ( summer annuals). Green up doesn't matter for pre emergence, dimension herbicide works best if late in applying as it controls early emergence of crabgrass . I use prodiamine in mid February . Hope this helps.

Do you think fall pre emergent would be safe to use on grass i sodded on may 6?

How is the soil in those spots? Are they low?

Looks like we are going to have some low/mid 80's for high temperatures over the next few weeks. That should lend itself well to some growth.

I can level the dirt back pretty quickly. May try to take some plugs from the backyard and move them there. That is if I don't head south for damage assessment.

BTW, we moved the date on the training thing I emailed you about. It's now 11/14. I'll send you the info.

So I still have 2 huge deadspots in the front yard, but I've caught 4 rabbits in my trap in the last few days and shot one with a pellet gun. I may be able to grow grass again soon.

Looks damn good!

Thanks, all the extra summer rain I'm sure has helped a lot! This grass it way more thirsty than my Bermuda out back..
