There are people making comments about not adding lemon 🍋 juice. Please don’t take that advice. Try the formula I’ve created first and get the results. Most of the people who are making that assumption haven’t tried this formula. The formula is tried and proven. 👍🏾. Any other comments about don’t add this and do this will be deleted and blocked.
I appreciate your willingness to provide a natural solution to control weeds. Thank you. Have you ever tried putting molasses on your Bermuda in the spring ? It acts as a mineral and food boost for the microbiology living in your soil.
How much vinegar would you recommend using if the grass is just starting to wake up and you want to use this all natural method? I just scalped my yard yesterday and typically don’t have too many weeds during the summer but would like an alternative instead of using chemicals.
5 percent vinegar ( home vinegar not 30 percent ) 50/5o water vinegar mix. Note it won’t be a affective like this formula and it will hurt the actively growing lawn in that spot.
@Bermuda Grass Central would you be open to creating a video that shows the least expensive approach to get Bermuda ready for Spring? Example: weed killer, weed and feed, pre emergent or whatever you recommend
It would be more helpful if you would show the exact measurements as it was a little confusing - your pump bottle already had vinegar in it at start of video but you didn’t give exact amount - thanks
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Thanks for your quick response. Do you have any recommendations for killing weeds on an actively growing lawn nearing the Spring?
This is off topic! To leave or not to leave? I ran out of time last fall and I had to leave some leaves 🍃 on my front lawn. Everybody else raked all theirs and now their grass looks horrible with no color. It is 40 degrees and my lawn is dormant but it's green and beautiful! I raked all the leaves in the backyard and that grass looks horrible. The color is a very light brown with no green. I just wanted to share😊
If this formula works, it works... but I have a suggestion for a minor change. Vinegar and lemon juice is acidic. Baking soda and dish detergent are alkaline - the opposite of acidic. If the acid is what is killing the weeds, the baking soda and detergent will tend to reduce the acidity. Since the detergent adds value as a surfactant, then a bit of that is good, but I'd skip the baking soda. Also lime juice is usually more acidic than lemon juice so that may be a good substitute. Thanks for the vid Michael!
The lemon juice seems redundant and it’s more expensive. The 30% vinegar (acetic acid) is also a fairly strong acid with a pH around 2.2. Baking soda and vinegar reaction is going to create sodium acetate which is well known to work as a weed killer.
@@IllusiveMan343 I get that but when other read that, the deviate and then will say the weed came back quickly. There’s a reason why I added the lemon 🍋 juice. I’ve done this formula without the lemon juice and with and saw greater results when adding that organic lemon juice. I can’t and won’t make it super technical but this formula works best with the lemon juice in my personal testing.

The soap acts as a surfacant, which is to say a surface tension breaker. It makes water absorb into things easier. It makes water "wetter".
Great instructions and tips! You definitely make it easy and fun!!
This was recorded on an Instagram Live Stream.
Thank you for this info. I was thinking of something natural to use this year. Blessing and Shalom
I use 45 percent vinegar. Stuff is like acid to weeds and grass.

Great video.
Baking SODA which you MENTIONED?
or
Baking POWDER which you SHOWED IN THE VIDEO?
Thanks
Powder

Already did that video ua-cam.com/video/7UJ_M4P8wHk/v-deo.htmlsi=bWRCYYRu3SfHhUUS
So, can I spray this all over my dormant bermuda grass lawn and it will still grow back or does this kill it completely and has to be spot applied?
I’d only spot spray, would not spray entire lawn.
@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral - I need your help. Got a big moss problem going on with my Bermuda lawn...help please sir!
Try Scott’s moss ex some at Homedepot
Do you think that vinegar will kill a cactus plant about 3-4 ft?
Nope but you can try.
So is it baking powder which you have or baking soda?
Either or will work but Soda tends to foam up to much.
Does it work on dallis grass in Bermuda lawn?
It will kill top growth but Dallisgrass will come back.
Have you found/created a weed killer formula that can be put down when grass is growing and wont burn it? Also safe for pets?
Spectracide 470

How can we apply this on a lawn with actively growing St. Augustine grass that has weeds growing throughout the lawn?
You would literally spot spray each weed. But I wouldn’t use this formula on an actively growing lawn.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Thanks for your quick response. Do you have any recommendations for killing weeds on an actively growing lawn nearing the Spring?
@@philliphickmanjr.5262 I’d google that question for Saint Augustine lawns

Just the opposite here, we all remove our leaves in my community. Those who left them do have a green lawn now but those are weeds 🤷🏾♂️
Will this kill the grass on my lawn?
Yes

I agree but I wouldn’t even bother with lemon or lime juice. They have similar acidity to acetic acid (vinegar).
No minor change is needed. This is a formula I created for a reason, try this formula first.
I think you said don’t use on bumuda grass. Ok

I made it like this for a reason. The purpose of the video is to use the formula I’m showing not the one you are suggesting.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral I’m not suggesting anything just stating lemon juice seems redundant as it’s just another acid. You already have an acid.

Too bad its non-selective 😂
Ok. Don’t use on any active bamuda grass Ok
I need to use a gallon measurement it’s for a golf course pond or lake . BYD can you help out for me on doses thx Mario. 3-5-24
