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.
I'm just so happy that I can have someone who can recommend for st augustine grass in a southern state! Thank you!
I'm here for you! ✌️
Same!!!
@@jeremynguyen2346 when soil temps stay a consistent 55 degrees and above. Down here in southern Louisiana that’s usually mid February through early march! I have st Augustine! It’s always better to get it down a little earlier than later!
It's refreshing seeing these videos coming back up. Gives me something to look forward to. Great guide. Thanks.
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.
I have used this product and continue to do so...very effective!
You and Bermuda Grass Central are my best go to videos
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. In the meantime I will scratch the lawn care itch watching you do yours! A little envious if I don't say so myself.
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!
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.
Thanks for the info Allyn. Looking to step up my lawn care this year so I ordered the sprayer and nozzle. Will be ordering some prodiamine shortly!
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.
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.
Great info AL. Thx for info on proper measurements
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!
Hey! I'm in NSL UT. What do you use as a pre-emergent? Liquid or granular? Also how often do you use it? Thanks!
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.
Good to see you after the winter break. I’m ready for the 2022 season!
thrower down!
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.
Great tips as always.
A little early for us but I'm ready!! Keep the new content coming.
I enjoyed this one. No sales pitch. Good info.
Thanks again, videos always helpful
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!
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 🤣
Allyn that Lawn is looking MEAN behind you. Nice & Crisp when you walk!!!!
Another well explained video, thanks. John
👍👍👍👍
Great video as always!
thanks!
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.
Very informative. Now some cool weather grasses
Great info
I will definitely use this this year
Nice bro!
Buen video👍🏼
Excellent! I have the same sprayer & WDG ... also, for those who are watching on 70 inch big screen, check out the mixed kicks! One Nike and one New Balance - hahah - that's funny!
Great video, love the shoes lol
Another nice one.
thanks!
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.
Love the videos!!!! But I tripped out on the two different shoes though....🤣
The one Nike and one NB make me laugh!!
good catch! 🤘
Just came to post the same thing. Epic! 😂
Prodiamine coming up soon in my video! Get ahead of the game put down now or soon! Warm season folks 🤙🏽👊🏼
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.
Love the content, but those Nike/New Balance lawn shoes...hahahaha love it!
Hi there. We had a destroyed yard and it's coming back even though it's Winter! We have been putting on a lot of RGS we love this stuff. We had a lot of barren spots due to mismanagement of a yard care service. My question is can you overdose overdose on RGS? We are getting lots of shoots and roots and we wanted to know if we could keep going? Can't wait 2 guys have the calendar up.
Thank you Allyn!! I am a lawn nut now, because of you!!
Quick question: St Aug in South Florida. Would you apply Post Emergent, like celsius and sedgehemmer, together with the pre-emergent?
I like to call these "dry clouds", as im still waiting on this rain we're supposed to have, lol
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
Great information. How long will this application be viable until it needs to be done again? Thanks!
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?
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!
Allen I have an irregular shaped yard and I’ve measured it and come up with roughly 9000 sq.ft. but my question is because it’s irregularity and the shape of the beds could a person just measure length times width at its middle or widest point and calculate from that? I live at the end of a circle drive in my sub division so you can imagine the angles that I deal with in measuring?! Thanks again for everything you do, you have truly inspired me to take back my little piece of the world!
Hi Al, any reason why you prefer the white flood jet tip over the blue? Thanks. Just purchased the white.. can never have enough tips in the arsenal.😃
Allyn; Love your videos. I live in southern Calif and have Marathon lawn (I guess considered tall fescue) I have lots of poa annua. I ordered your prodiamine but have yet to spray. Temp is rising to 85+ now and will soon get 90+ degrees. I've heard that poa annua is a cool weather weed ? and will die when the heat arrives ?? Should I spray prodiamine now or wait until next year ? Also, I have a couple of dogs. When I do spray, and water in, how long before I can let the dogs roam. Thanks in advance
Great video! Can you put preemergent in rock beds too?
Love the videos...Pendimethalin Vs Prodiamine. Are the benefits to one over the other?
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
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!
Great video. Do you happen to know the conversion to teaspoons for the 10.4 grams. Thanks.
Should this tip also be used with the 4 gal backpack sprayer?
Does the biostimulant take the place of water that you mix the Prodiamine into or is that in addition to the Prodiamine/water mix?
Great video as always allyn. Thanks for visiting me from time to time on my channel. How do I get a sticker to you?
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?
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!!!
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
Man i like ur shirts!!!!
I always say that lol
Thank you. I wear them for work and church, quite versatile. 😁
Can you apply t-zone with any of the bio stimulants
Would that specific TeeJet tip work on any 2 gallon pump sprayer? Or is it only compatible with the field king sprayer?
Just bought some Herbicides Prodiamine 65 WDG off LCN. I have a Chapin sprayer. Will the tip you recommended with a Chapin strayer?
Any chance you come out with some LCN shoes this year? 🤣
That would be epic!
haha, not on the roadmap this season anyway. 😁
Are there Pre-emergents or even post emergents that target Warm season grasses in coll season lawns or Visa Versa?
Is there a 4 gallon backpack sprayer setup you can recommend? I have 2 acres I need to cover.
How much water is recommended to water in afterwards? Great video BTW
Allyn, your videos are amazing. I live in So Calif. It's early Feb. Temp has been cooler, about 40/45 at night, 70+ during the day. Summer will get 90+. I have an issue with Poa annua and crabgrass during the cooler weather. I bought your Prodiamine about a week ago. My question is when should I apply to control the poa annua and crabgrass ? Thanks in advance
Prodiamine is designed to prevent those weeds from germinating. They are pretty hard to kill after the fact. Plan on treating your yard in the fall to prevent it from coming in the winter and then apply again in early spring after that. It may not help you this year but it will set you up for success next year. P.S. I’m in central California so I understand your dilemma.
So the 1,000sq ft x 1 gallon is the common standard for all liquid applications or does it change (ex. Liquid Fertilizer)?
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!
What scale are you using? The food scales I've found display grams but not tenth of grams (10 grams vs 10.4 grams).
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?
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.
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.
Hello, what temperature do you recommend to apply the Prodiamine 65 WDG
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
I love your videos and your products. I put Prodiamine down this fall but my lawn was riddled with weeds and poa annua this spring. I treated at half the yearly rate as I was going to do it both in the fall and the spring. One of 2 things must have gone wrong; either my measurements were off , which I don't think is the case or my application was poor (also scalped my lawn in the fall which was probably a mistake so I won't do that again). My real question is do you do one full app a year or do you split yours up between fall and spring as well?
I split them in 2. Prodiamine for the spring and high yield weed and grass stopper with dimension for fall. My neighbor does no lawn care and his yard is full of weeds but they don’t cross over to my lawn. I have a St Augustine lawn in Texas.
Nice shoes you got there haha.
thanks! both sides are equally comfortable 😁
What happens if you accidentally go heavy-handed on the application on St. Augustine grass, will it stunt it or kill it.
Been using this product and is the first time I was able to have control over weeds.
I am wondering, though, if it is safe for deer to eat acorns that have been sprayed with P?
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
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?
Dang it. I just sprayed my lawn and used way more than that and walked very slow and covered everything… am I screwed?
I would need about 8 gallons to cover my lawn. It seems easier to spread it in a spreader.
Help!!! My husband applied 3 times the amount of prodiamine to our lawn!
Cool weather lawn in Ohio. It’s rained some and we’re waiting for irrigation system to be turned on sometime soon.
What can we do?????
Great video.
We're we supposed to notice the Nike/New Balance shoe combo at all?
If so, I'll take a bio stim pack please! 😆
Good eye!! I'm testing to see which I like better. 😁
Link to Humic Acid product you use please?
What brand pants do you wear?
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.
I have heard very little negative about the batteries in the last few months - seems to be fine to me.
Do we need to water in?
Does prodiamine prevent sticker weeds?
So I had a slow moment I bought everything the Lawn Care Nut said buy, I got the fan tip and I had the fan tip installed downwards where the opening faced the ground and i wondered why the spray came extremely close to me. It has been determined I should’ve installed it where the opening faces the sky. If u look at the t jet tip the slot is facing upwards on his sprayer when u look at it. Don’t make the mistake I made.
1:10 what's with the two different shoes?
Two Months from today......I will be Jonesing to Thrower er down Allyn!!!!! And I will be hoping for the best!!!
Actually for me April 11-18th is first throw down which I learned from some guy named SKIP???????
Ya Bro.....it was me!!!!!!!!!(I think that was his name).
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.
Good morning Allen. What is your soil temp? Here in Jacksonville (Fl.) they are saying it's around 25*. Shouldn't I wait till the ground temp is 55*? Your videos are a great help to my. We just moved here from Northern New York and lawn care here is a world apart from there.
I'm still in the 60s here.
I put down the prodiamine right before a rain, but it never rained. What happens when its not watered in?
