Dear GOD why do these nuts believe they need to dump so much run off crap on their Lawns that creates Algae bloom, unsafe drinking conditions etc. Help me understand GOD ? Why wouldn't they understand to first grow the right grasses that naturally crowds weeds out ? Kentucky Blue in the most northern regions, Zoysia grass in the southern regions, both crowd out both repair themselves both require very low amounts of fertilizer the first year or 2 to establish all facts Kiddies 😉
Fact I lived in a trailer park, young married twins just starting out in life. The yard was solid weeds like concrete. I bought 10/10/10 estate brand fertilizer 4 15lbs bag's 2 50 lbs bag's of some cheap Kentucky Blue grass it had 10% weed seed in it. Fertilizer it's self kills weeds they like the opposite. The second year I used only 2 15lbs bag's of fertilizer. The next 10 year's zero I had no weeds completely crowded out choked right off.
I kept that Kentucky Blue grass at 4 inches and knocked a 1/2 off at 4 & 1/2 inches tall. Watered 3 time's a week mowed twice a week. Never aerated never a lawn disease. Left, right and behind me the lot's all had weeds like concrete, dandelion being the worst. My lawn was so thick dense and lush I never got another in 10 year's. When I sold my trailer the yard guys ended up mowing it on a riding mower they asked my friend what did he do to that lawn it almost stalls out our 18hp Kohler 38 inch deck every time they mowed. My friend told them I don't know he just knows how to grow a great lawn.

Here in Minnesota we have a whole lot of snow sitting on our lawns so I think I'll just hold off throwing down and spraying and praying until things get a little warmer.

I started my lawn care journey with you about May of 2021 when I felt I could do better with my lawn care game, and with the pandemic and working from home and working on my Master's degree, I felt I needed something to get me out of the office for a little while and get some fresh air. You have inspired me to do my best and really pay attention to the details to get my lawn looking its finest. was a little late to the game last year so no pre-emergent and I had some craziness to battle throughout the year, but this year I have a plan and ready to get at it. Thanks for the consistent content, appreciate all you do for the community!
We are in MI and this video gives me hope - to start up lawn care again (right now we have 10" of snow). TY for all your content that you provide. It is very informative and I use many of your products.
2022 is going to be my lawn's year to shine, hopefully. I just bought some of your Prodiamine granular fertilizer to try and end my battle with the tough weeds. I had my house built 18 years ago, in Pinellas County, and the lawn was perfect until I hired a cheap yard mowing co. and I think they brought the weeds from other lawns to my house. And then there were 2 years we had freezes and my yard has been toast ever since. I am going to take pictures and, hopefully, document the transformation.
I started using this setup with the field king sprayer. Absolutely love it. Yard is 8000 sq ft total and works perfect. So much easier than back pack sprayer. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Thank you for your continued content! I’m in Utah and can’t wait for our lawn season to kick off! Your videos always inspire me to teach others about what I have learned from you!
Sorry I just saw this. John Perry recommended me to use Isoxaben that you use in a sprayer. It works for a lot of the common weeds here in Utah! However I have not had much need for a pre-emergent for my lawn, I don't care for the extra chemical and I don't mind spending 5 mins in the morning before work pulling weeds by hand. Plus my lawn is shaded by 2 huge sycamore trees so weeds tend to struggle.
This is a great guide Allyn! One thing that you may want to add to one of your sprayer videos, is some quick sprayer maintenance. I found out after a season's worth of use, that the wand will get clogged up (even after rinsing properly) and it affects your output and the consistency of the spray pattern. There is a little filter (like a sprinkler head filter) in a lot of these sprayer wands that needs to be rinsed out... did wonders for my next app after it was cleared. I suppose you could also go "John Perry" and just take the filter out for maximum overdrive, but I haven't tested those waters... :)
The prodiamine label also recommends using a detergent to clean the sprayer after spraying prodiamine. Silver Cymbal has a video whereas he recommends a $10 container of sprayer detergent that can be bought on Amazon.
I'm hyped about this year! Got the pre emergent down 1st week of january, i plan for my 2nd split app to be mid to late febuary. Then push the lawn with the 18-0-1 greenepunch!! Thrower down! Hope for the best.
Great refresher video AL! Gonna be a while yet before I apply some Prodiamine, got a little heavy handed with the tenacity last night here in Chicago 🤣
Great video. You make it easy to understand and follow. By the way, I just ordered some prodiamine WDG, and I look forward to trying it out next year. Thank you for offering the smaller bottles for us.
Excellent! I followed the video one step at a time and felt confident in what I was doing. My only hiccup was that I only covered about half thae eReader I expected to so I didn't make the second pass. Practice makes perfect!
Huge Poa Annua problem in my lawn. My plan for fall '24 is: Level, aerate, over seed and Tenacity in late August/early Sept. and then Prodiamine as pre-emergent for the Poa, late Sept/early Oct. Thoughts on this? I did a preemergent of Prodiamine this Spring for Crabgrass, but I would still be under the annual limit. My concerns are with the newly growing grass which will be 5 ish weeks established at this point, and with the combination of Tenacity followed by Prodiamine. Thanks!
Yes you for sure can do that. I prefer the split app spring (2 half apps in spring) strategy but the single app at the higher rate is perfectly acceptable.
The way I aim it keeps you from getting the bottom of your pantlegs sprayed. It's difficult to visualize but once you start messing with it you'll see what I mean.
I’ve been waiting to get the field king once the battery issue was worked out. When you contacted them was there any resolution. I want to hear from you before I make the hundred dollar investment. That is a lot for me vs the $10 pump sprayer but I would do it if there has been a response from field king. Thanks for following up.
Can you mix products like Speed zone with this to get the weeds that might be growing already? And is prodiamine good for nutsedge as well as crabgrass? Thanks Loved the videos
Why is it okay to walk on the lawn that was just sprayed? Doesn’t that activity disrupt the liquid distribution? And track the liquid where you don’t want it (e.g., driveway, house)?
Very Very little disturbance happens and very little is tracked off on the driveway/sidewalk, not enough to cause any issue and I don't wear by spray shoes in the house, ever.
I dropped my pro last year after he did my winterizer in a hard frost and left wheel marks all over. back to doing everything myself again this year. I’ve found the hand pump I have is very inconsistent so def getting a battery sprayer this year.
The warm NC weather brought out all kinds of crap in my lawn before I laid pre-emergent. The cold snow killed it all last week. I guess I got a second chance on the app. Thanks LCN. This year is gonna be great!
Joel - we're about to be in the mid-60s, low 40s next week a little north of you here in Hampton Roads. I think the soil temps will average out to about 55F. This is my first time using pre-emergent. We had an absolutely awful weed year last year in our new house (moved here after 20 years in Chesapeake). So, in the fall, we aerated, put down a boatload of compost, and managed to get some decent grass growing. We have no significant weeds yet and I don't want to lose all the hard work we did last year. So, what do you think? Is this the time to hit it with pre-emergent or should we wait to see what March brings? I know we're likely to have another week or two of near freezing overnight, but does it matter that much? These LCN videos are terrific. What a great resource.
In case anyone sees this comment, DO NOT buy the nozzle mentioned in this video from Amazon- They are charging 5x more than the link provided! Thank you sir for the link!
2 questions: 1) I have 1/2 gallon jug of Dow Dithiopyr (2-,4-,6-,3.5- ) at 24% of jug content. I want to use this up before buying Podiamine. So, meantime do you think this is an adequate alternative for Podiamine for pre-emergent control on st augustine grass? 2) Do you know offhand if humic12 or any other of N EXT bio-stims work well together with Dow Dithiophy in the mix together? Thanks for letting me know...
Dithiopyr is just fine for St Aug preemergent. Really depends on if you have a specific weed you have trouble with. I get lots of lespedeza and the prodiamine label doesn’t list that as a weed it controls. I’ll be using dithiopyr on my St Aug since it DOES list lespedeza. You can mix any of the biostims together with it just fine. If you’re concerned, get a small jar of your dithiopyr mix and add a bit of the other product. As long as it doesn’t precipitate out chunks or set up you’re good to go.
@@Ryush806 thanks Ryan. Ok, will use the product. Does not list dollarweed, which I have in my st aug grass, do you know if dithiopyr is effective even though not lists dollarweed, and if so how effective against this weed vs podiamine?
@@JuanLulli premergents generally aren’t effective against dollarweed because it’s perennial. It doesn’t sprout from seed so there’s nothing for the preemergent to kill. It usually thrives in damp areas so maybe reduce watering or fix drainage issues. Otherwise you just have to kill it with post emergents or pull it.
@@Ryush806 thanks for the clarity on dollarweeds…never knew that even though i’ve attempted researching this topic. Ok Ryan, I’ve got a final topic question: I’ve got Dithiopyr and a Scott’s Atrazine granular product. I heard atrazine is as effective as pre- and post-emergent. And I’ve got dollarweeds. So do you think then that my first weed app of the year and my go-to weed chem should be the atrazine?
I found after my winter application my Prodiamine clumped up and failed to dissolve. Think I’ll need to pre mix it in warm water or use a drill agitator bit next time.
Looks like the Field King Sprayer is currently unavailable with no indication if it's coming back. What are your thoughts on the Scotts 190567 Lithium-Ion Battery Powered Pump Zero Technology Sprayer, 2-Gallon? I can't tell if it will take the TeeJet White Flood Tip.
I have scotts providta kbg. Its thin with a lot of bald spots. I'm riding the nitrogen train of terror (fall nitrogen blitz). Will prodiamine prevent kbg from spreading? Ty
Will it kill my lawn if I had already fertilized it. I purchased everything to apply it but, before I do I want to make sure that it is safe for me to add even though it has just been fertilized.
Going to do my winter app this when the temperature comes up some. In English 5.2 grams equal 1.04 teaspoons. I don't think many of us have scales that measure that little.
It's important to buy a scale - they are cheap and you can use it for other chems. It's nearly impossible to measure the .04 of a teaspoon so you'll be off in your active.
There are scales that will measure in 0.01g increments, due to the nature of this you will often want to get one with calibration weights to make sure it is accurate.
Prodiamine works great! I have used Lesco PreM on mine Bermuda for years and like Prodiamine better. You have to be patient with stickers those stickers are seeds and can live dormant in the ground for 7 years. Took me about 3 to 4 years to get them under control.
@@billy2bob63 yeah I had it under control and got really bad migraines headache for almost 2 years and they got outta control in those 2 years I feel somewhat better were I need to get them under control again
Do I really need a pre emergent? My yard has gotten pretty thick and doesn't get many weeds. I have started just spot treated the dozen or so weeds that will pop up each year. Is this an ok strategy?
Hello Allyn quick question for you, do you think adding granular and liquid pre emergent a good idea both prodiame, I have Bermuda for my turf I live in Central TX
How long do you wait in between applications from the 1st to the 2nd? I followed the the date given on the app which was 2/6 for my first application. Thanks!
When applying this always thought the rule of thumb is the ground temperature should be around 55° that’s when germination starts is this True any information would be appreciative thanks Alan I love your channel
I appreciate the video. I was wondering, can you mix a liquid pre emergent such as diothopyr with another pre emergent such as pendimethalin, ixoben or post emergent?
Hey Allyn, I just put down my pre-emergent up here in New York, soil temperature was about 49 degrees. It is raining some today and more rain tomorrow. Is that too much rain for the pre-emergent?
Do you like the field king battery powered sprayer? It looks the same as the Smith or Scotts battery powered sprayers,,, Love your content for our St. Augustine lawns!!!
I am your subscriber, I am in jacksonville, all my grass are bad. I look up to you so much. I hope to get your advise or show me how it is done more please. Crab grass every where, may be I am too impatient st augustine so nice, I went there to today
i bought this Pre-Emergent last week but i started to do some research on my St Aug grass and as it turns out that Bitter Blue St Augustine grass doesn't like weed chems. is this true for ButterBlue? what method should i use on this type of St Aug? TY

Very informative. Now some cool weather grasses
Does the biostimulant take the place of water that you mix the Prodiamine into or is that in addition to the Prodiamine/water mix?
1:10 what's with the two different shoes?
Great video. Do you happen to know the conversion to teaspoons for the 10.4 grams. Thanks.
Isn't a bit cold for the Tampa area to put this down? I have the granular ready to go...was waiting for March though. Should I throw down now?

Is there a 4 gallon backpack sprayer setup you can recommend? I have 2 acres I need to cover.
So the 1,000sq ft x 1 gallon is the common standard for all liquid applications or does it change (ex. Liquid Fertilizer)?
Thanks again, videos always helpful

Nice bro!
Allyn, if you perform a SPLIT application would you use half that amount for each of the two apps (2.6 grams) ?
Allyn, on bermuda the max yearly rate is 25 mr I believe. Is it OK to do 2 split applications (fall and spring) of 10 mg/1000sqf?
Yes you for sure can do that. I prefer the split app spring (2 half apps in spring) strategy but the single app at the higher rate is perfectly acceptable.
Should this tip also be used with the 4 gal backpack sprayer?
Is there an advantage of spraying with the tee jet nozzle facing upwards rather than downwards?
The way I aim it keeps you from getting the bottom of your pantlegs sprayed. It's difficult to visualize but once you start messing with it you'll see what I mean.
@@TheLawnCareNut I sprayed my legs until Jeremy of The Greener Lawn set me straight 😆
Great information. How long will this application be viable until it needs to be done again? Thanks!
Are there Pre-emergents or even post emergents that target Warm season grasses in coll season lawns or Visa Versa?
Do we need to water in?
Hello, what temperature do you recommend to apply the Prodiamine 65 WDG
I’ve been waiting to get the field king once the battery issue was worked out. When you contacted them was there any resolution. I want to hear from you before I make the hundred dollar investment. That is a lot for me vs the $10 pump sprayer but I would do it if there has been a response from field king. Thanks for following up.

How long after applying the prodaimine can you mow the yard? Want to wait a certain amount of days or does it matter?
if you are mulching your clippings then you can mow whenever you like. Personally, I prefer to water the product in first, then mow the next day.
2 questions: 1) I have 1/2 gallon jug of Dow Dithiopyr (2-,4-,6-,3.5- ) at 24% of jug content. I want to use this up before buying Podiamine.

Dithiopyr is just fine for St Aug preemergent. Really depends on if you have a specific weed you have trouble with. I get lots of lespedeza and the prodiamine label doesn’t list that as a weed it controls. I’ll be using dithiopyr on my St Aug since it DOES list lespedeza.

yes I would, as long as it has a minimum of 30 PSI
What brand scale are you using.
anything off Amazon that measures in grams to the tenth will work. Most kitchen scales fit the bill.
Can you apply t-zone with any of the bio stimulants
So if I have 3 acres to spray with a 100 gallon tank sprayer. How much prodiame should I mix in the tank? If an acre is 44000 square feet.
Great video! Can you put preemergent in rock beds too?
I found after my winter application my Prodiamine clumped up and failed to dissolve. Think I’ll need to pre mix it in warm water or use a drill agitator bit next time.
sounds like some moisture got into it somehow. For sure pre-mixing will solve it.
I like to call these "dry clouds", as im still waiting on this rain we're supposed to have, lol
The one Nike and one NB make me laugh!!
good catch! 🤘
Just came to post the same thing. Epic! 😂
Just bought some Herbicides Prodiamine 65 WDG off LCN. I have a Chapin sprayer. Will the tip you recommended with a Chapin strayer?
Looks like the Field King Sprayer is currently unavailable with no indication if it's coming back.

Got a cheap one off
Ebay
I bought a scale at Walmart went big also picked up a measuring cup that measures in every possible measure. Go big or go home as they say.
What scale are you using? The food scales I've found display grams but not tenth of grams (10 grams vs 10.4 grams).
Wait! Are you talkn split app rates ?? Or normal rates?
What happens if you accidentally go heavy-handed on the application on St. Augustine grass, will it stunt it or kill it.
I missed the 70 degree window to apply my 2nd app of Prodiamine. Is it still worth doing now? StAugustine grass and I'm in Ft Myers, FL.
I have been doing the granular pre emergent but I have a lot of existing weeds. When can I start killing weeds in SW Florida on my st augustine?
Link to Humic Acid product you use please?
I have stickers that come up around June or July what's pre emergent is best for me??
Prodiamine works great! I have used Lesco PreM on mine Bermuda for years and like Prodiamine better. You have to be patient with stickers those stickers are seeds and can live dormant in the ground for 7 years. Took me about 3 to 4 years to get them under control.
@@billy2bob63 yeah I had it under control and got really bad migraines headache for almost 2 years and they got outta control in those 2 years I feel somewhat better were I need to get them under control again
Any negatives if you accidentally over apply?
Visible damage, no. But it's not good for roots and soil life to over-apply.
What brand pants do you wear?
How do you feel about ryobi electric Spryer? Really love it for price and quality
Ryobi makes very good tools all around, can't go wrong.
Do I really need a pre emergent? My yard has gotten pretty thick and doesn't get many weeds. I have started just spot treated the dozen or so weeds that will pop up each year. Is this an ok strategy?
I put down the prodiamine right before a rain, but it never rained. What happens when its not watered in?
How much water is recommended to water in afterwards? Great video BTW
Does prodiamine prevent sticker weeds?
Hello Allyn quick question for you, do you think adding granular and liquid pre emergent a good idea both prodiame, I have Bermuda for my turf I live in Central TX
How long do you wait in between applications from the 1st to the 2nd? I followed the the date given on the app which was 2/6 for my first application. Thanks!
Wanting to start using prodiamine but also still wanting to over seed again this spring so I need to stick with Tenacity, correct?
Yes correct. Tenacity same day as seed.
So 20 psi is the target pressure we want to work for this method ?
Higher if possible. 20 is the minimum. I prefer 40-50 which is the max for these tips.
@@TheLawnCareNut ah right on. I'm using the T jet with the 18-volt Ryobi backpack sprayer. Wonder if these methods would apply
When applying this always thought the rule of thumb is the ground temperature should be around 55° that’s when germination starts is this True any information would be appreciative thanks Alan I love your channel
I appreciate the video. I was wondering, can you mix a liquid pre emergent such as diothopyr with another pre emergent such as pendimethalin, ixoben or post emergent?
Hey Allyn, I just put down my pre-emergent up here in New York, soil temperature was about 49 degrees. It is raining some today and more rain tomorrow. Is that too much rain for the pre-emergent?
Do you like the field king battery powered sprayer? It looks the same as the Smith or Scotts battery powered sprayers,,, Love your content for our St. Augustine lawns!!!
When should pre emergent be put on for Ohio?
Is the tee jet universal?

Any products that will take care wild violets without killing my grass? (Tall fescue in Nc) I’ve been trying to get rid of it for 8yrs. Thanks
i bought this Pre-Emergent last week but i started to do some research on my St Aug grass and as it turns out that Bitter Blue St Augustine grass doesn't like weed chems. is this true for ButterBlue? what method should i use on this type of St Aug? TY
I've never heard that before. Every product I recommend is safe for established ST Augustine of all varieties.
