There is a cheap weed killer pros use a lot for lawn care that kills many weeds without hurting the grass. The other great thing is this product costs less than 4 cents per thousand square feet, making it very affordable. As with other herbicides, you need to follow the label and wear PPE. I often mixed the product know as metsulfuron (amzn.to/3GAcSZb) with other pre and post emergent herbicides which obviously raises the cost. In this video I am mixing it with changeup amzn.to/3Ip14KG and prodiamine. amzn.to/3Gijvy9. Combining pre and post emergent herbicides is a weed control strategy lawn pros use regularly.

I use metsulfuron at the very low rate of 0.25 ounces per acre. At higher rates it can kill oak trees so it is very important to understand how to calibrate your sprayer. This video can help with that.    • Tank Sprayer Calibration for Weed Con...

    I mixed 4 grams in a hollow sprayer and spot treated my st Augustine. Is that too much. I used the supplied measuring tube and it has a marking for 4 grams per 1000. Thanks Jason I always enjoy your videos. I just hope I didn’t mess up my lawn. 😅
  • @user-ln4vh2xw7c

  • @bloodmerchant4960
    If i spray it inbetween brick does the residual will be contagious for people?
  • @alexfred8789
    Good info. That is cheap. Here in Indiana transition zone I’m at like 55¢ per 1000 sqft in spring using good old 3 way herbicide but mix with expensive surge for nutsedge suppress. In the fall straight 3 way I’m at 28¢ per 1000 but may spike with triclopyr4 on lawns with violets .
  • @musimowingmoreinc9031
    Dont make the mistake of sprayer on cool season grass. You will be replacing turf. Lets just say, one of my techs back in the beginning of our business did not read/understand and we had to put down about 3k sq ft of new sod. Lesson learned. Great job explaining the math.
  • @chrisreddick36
    I just sprayed my 7 acres in south Alabama this past weekend. Used prodiomine,metsofuron,24d and simazine all learned from your channel thanks Jason. I’m holding to rid everything except Bermuda eventually.
  • @paultorre2419
    If you just treat your yard with preamergent 2 or 3 times a year. Would that eliminate most weeds?
  • @wpickens1900
    Any luck getting rid of poa annua in a Bermuda lawn?
  • @spencerwilliams877
    Jason, how does your chem lawn/lesco style gun do on smaller yards and in tight spaces around ornamentals? I see some companies around my area using a long wand with a fan tip. Seems like it would be easier to use on smaller yards.
  • @maustank8864
    When msm came out it was 100.00 an ounce. I use it all December and 2 weeks of January with simazine.
  • @METALCHOPSTX8
