Published 2021-06-02
One thing I have to deal with every year is post-emergent control of WEEDS! I can't stand the fact that getting rid of weeds in the lawn is usually a monotonous task that doesn't give you immediate results when using herbicides. Nonetheless, a necessary evil to keep the turf healthy and get the best lawn we can have!
We talk about weed killers, how to make sure you buy one that will work and the different types there are. There's even some "Harry Potter magic" involved!

Your lawn looks great, I've got a little grass in my weeds!!!!
-
Nice you include the pictures after applied.
-
Verygood info, thanks!
-
Great job, I get overwhelmed at identifying and spraying. I found your video much like Alyn Haynes pretty easy to follow. You encourage me to spot spray instead of blanket.
-
Man great video and content.
-
Also, Escalade herbicide for dandelions and clovers under 81* and horsepower for under around 90, I’d have to check the label
-
Great vid, the spot spraying save so much $ and product. Prefer the savings of spraying rather than a weed and feed that blanket covers.
-
The neighbor next to me has a wild violet lawn. I've been fighting that weed for years. Best combo for me has been tryclopyr and dicamba mix, no surfactant.
-
Sorry about all the comments, I’m about to start a yard and just giving my thoughts as the come. Dawn platinum is the best surfactant I can find. I’ve used hydrasmart 80/20 (second best) as well and dawn just out performs it. Helps especially with violets and wild ivy (creeping charlie)
-
I can’t use Triclopyr. It’s pretty rough on Bermuda grass. Wish I could. Wild violet is a problem
-
If I didn't have weeds, I wouldn't have a lawn....lol
-
Will the weed b gone not kill lillies, hyacnets, tulips, day lilie, peony. ?? Would using food coloring dyes work like the commercial blue die you talked about Sir I really like your lawn fella. You really put your whole arsenal of tricks for such a lush lawn fella. ??Thanks
-
Not sure where you are in the country but it looks like it might be in my general area. I deal with all the same weeds year after year. The yard that came with the house I’m not sure had ever been treated. I’m a work in progress at this point lol.
-
Do you ever use a pre-emergent at the beginning of spring or maybe as early as February?
-
Whats best for wild violets in Bermuda or Fescue ?
-
I have used 2,4 D aka "killex" (brand name) for years to control broad leaf weeds with excellent results. Unfortunately it's not available in Canada anymore. Do you or anybody know any online seller for that particular herbicide? Thank you very much.
-
Much prefer knowing the ratio of the chemical to water…for example, 1 part weed killer to 25 parts water. Also, more important to which is the best weed killer, is the solution harmful to humans? I love using roundup for garden cleanup a week before seeding, but is it harmful
-
It would really help if you showed the weeds your refuring to in video it might help us uneducated one..
-
How did you identify the different weed in the yard?
-
I’m pretty sure it’s 1 oz per gallon to treat 200 sq ft. Did you really put 5 oz in one gallon? Did anything bad happen?
