2018 Lawn Thread!

[black2002ls]

I came here to start this thread, and it looks like I am way behind!

I missed my spring pre emergent, with the torrential rains in february, all of the weeds from the back yard got carried to the front.

Last weekend I hit the whole yard with round up weed killer (Weed killer safe for grass) through a hose end sprayer. It did pretty good on the broad leaf stuff. This weekend I serviced the mower and scalped everything. Tomorrow I'll be rebuilding hose seals, checking the flowerbed irrigation and re-mulching. Hopefully my progress from last year carries over to this year

What can I use to kill this stupid shit off? I have 2 areas of my yard this is fairly dominant in. I used some Scott's weed N feed, other weeds in the area died off, this shit is still going strong! It pulls up easily, but I'd rather not have clumps of plain dirt where this comes out.

Trimec is 2,4d, label states not to apply when emerging from winter dormancy .
I use Celsius at 2.5 ounces per acre , there is a chart for smaller spot spraying on the label.
It’s the safest product you can use , I can’t speak for anything else , this and certainty are all I use starting in the spring.

2,4d will slow down if not put grass back into dormancy if not careful, this time of year when grass is just beginning to green up.

What about Trimec? It apparently kills henbit which I have a lot of out back.

Id look into 2,4D

I put out some round up pre emergent and since I was a little late, used round up on all the crap that has shot up, and over the granite area in case I missed anything. The pre emergent did start taking it's toll on some of the not so hearty weeds that were popped up before I hit it with the other. Now I need to go get some gas. The war on ants is real! I swear I poison the yard every year and they just come on back. Destructive bastards.

So I got the lawn raked and mowed. What fertilizer/pre-emergent should I put down today? Stuff I thought I was going to use says not to use on just starting to green grass.

I got my second round down today.

I got two bags of Dimension down today. A little late but better late than never.

I have got to do this today. Damn rain, my granite area looks like a weed sanctuary.

I didn't get mine done while I was home due to rain and ice . I plan on getting it done when I get home next week and hope it's not too late. I have a contingency in place if I don't get the preemergent down soon enough. (2.5gal of MSMA).

I had really good results from Balans last year. Usually found at the feed stores outside of town.

I need guidance. Pre-emergent? When to seed?

when should Bermuda seed be spread?

When day time temps are 85* or higher. Tip: it helps to dethatch prior to over seeding and then lightly cover new seed with top soil. Water water water.

too late to spray with round up, grass has broken dormancy, whether you see it or not, it has. Celcius is an excellent weed killer (grassy and broadleaf) that is safe on Bermuda and st Augustine, spray once now then again in 21 days . available at any of your major commercial fertilizer dealers, JDL, ewing, harrells, bwi etc..
