Man, as a first time homeowner with Bermuda grass, you have the most helpful videos for me. I rarely subscribe to UA-cam channels but you have earned it, sir!
Information is much appreciated, since I started watching your videos I went to mowing my weeds twice a month instead of every weekend. Can't wait for everything to kick in May be able to mow once a month after that.
Great information, I don't have bermuda, I've been battling fescue in north Georgia for years and will be checker boarding in bermuda sod this year. Thank you for your channel and great information.
I have been using the weed & feed of Scott’s for years after trying many others. Always apply to moist yard right after mowing in March to start and I have no complaints. Always works very well..
I put down two maximum applications three months apart of Triple Action on a neighbor's bermuda lawn that he had neglected for 4 years. I was pleasantly surprised. It greened up the lawn fast and put a dent in the weeds which were choking his yard, so I had to spot spray the worst of the weeds with Image liquid weed killer and pump sprayer. For a lawn that bad with weeds, Triple Action is maybe not quite enough on its own and may need to also apply a separate pre-emergent like Anderson's every early spring.
Mr.BGC , dude I’m sitting here eating a lemon pepper slow roasted chicken from wal mart creamed spinach and cream corn 🌽 fresh out the microwave 😋🤤watching you give me all this knowledge so I can have the best lawn in the neighborhood 👊🏼👨🏼🌾
That Triple action is an excellent product. One important thing you didn't mention is that once it is put down, do not do any digging or raking or the preemergent barrier will be broken which will allow weed seeds to germinate in that area.
Ok!! I may have done this all wrong...I applied it and 7 days later it seemed as if I had more weeds then I started with, so then I used a garden shovel to pull the weeds from The root...😢 what will happen now?
@@kantrellwalker3227 Because of the fertilizer in the mix weeds that were already germinated grew up faster. They were probably not noticeable upon application but would eventually turn brown and die off due to the herbicide. No worries, you can reapply to get the chemical barrier back depending on your grass type. Bermuda grass can stand more fertilizer, however if you have Centipede grass like me that's not a good idea because Centipede can't take higher doses of fertilizer. In that case Tenacity can be used to get back the preemergent quality but it's a liquid and requires tank mixing. I believe Scott's makes a granular form which contains the same active ingredient in Tenacity which is Mesotrion (sp) I believe it is. Also it only stays active for 30 days unlike the 4 months for the Triple action so repeat applications may be needed. Also, Celsius or Certainty are supposed to be awesome products. I don't recall which one is the preemergent and which one is post but they are supposed to last 60 days per application. Both are safe for Centipede grass. So many variables depending upon your grass type. I'm in the South so we grow warm season grasses. Not sure what area you are in.
Diffrence I have noticed is the spring application (yellow bag) works better at feeding and killing weeds, the tripple action does not kill weeds or feed aswell, it does alright as a pre emerge but stand alone pree emerges work better. Get the spring bag and use any regular pre emerge for best results. I have went through 3 bags of tripple action personally and have given neighbors a few bags and it just dosnt perform.
My man, your did a great job of explaining it@! Your a help, to those who might be bit confuse. Good luck on , helping ang growing your channel and subscribers 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Very educational but in the long run he does not tell you which of the two bags are the best I appreciate the video always let people know which out of the two are the best and which one to buy at least you know limbo❤
🌞Good video, BYD! I've never used Scotts before. I hear it's pretty good stuff if applied by the label. Stay dry over there, we had some bad storms today!
Thks for the info, usually my 1st appt is Scotts Turf Builder W/F, then I use a lower Nitrogen fertilizer, have had a Scotts spreader for 20yrs, good idea to apply when turf is wet.
Timing is key. Easy peasy treatment from a woman who learned the hard way. 1st Treatment: February 1-15: Scott's Triple Action if I have lingering winter weeds or Lesco pre-emergent if I dont have lingering winter weeds. If after March 1, then apply Scott's Weed n Feed (yellow bag) every 3 months during spring and summer. I may use a hose-end sprayer insecticide such as Sevin, Spectraside, or Scott's based off of what I observe while spreading. (Leafhoppers, european crane flies, moths, mole holes) Second Treatment: Late May but no later than June 15: I use the Scott's (orange bag) that has insect control. I also use Scott's GrubEx for grubs that will become June bugs if untreated. Third Treatment: Late September or near October 1: Apply Scott's Fall Guard (red bag) heavy. You may also want to treat for european crane flies that will emerge if untreated in Spring. Fourth Treatment: December 15: Even though my Bermuda is dormant, I put down another Scott's Fall Guard (red bag) treatment to prevent winter weeds that will emerge in February and March.
You’re just a big sweetie. Aren’t you? 💋😍 Thanks for your help and support. You and the LCN have done so much for my lawn. I would have never ventured into doing this if it hadn’t been for you two. 🥰
Even before the video started. My mind said bag on the left any time of day. Bag on the right get you butt up early in the AM while the dew is still hanging. LOL
I have used Scott's fertilizer for most of thirty years. I used the, Triple Action on two seasons. As always I followed directions. The Triple Action, did not kill any of my weeds, it did not prevent any of my weeds, or crabgrass. I hope it at least fertilized. I will never buy it again. Contacted Scott's and didn't get any satisfaction. Irritated me so much that I have changed to, The Andersons fertilizers.
There are some weeds it will not kill. You have to identify your weeds and get the specific killer for that weed. For example Crabgrass is a grass so is not affected after it has already germinated. You need crabgrass killer. The TA will prevent crabgrass seeds from germinating but timing is crucial. I have yellow nutsedge in my lawn that TA does not kill so I have to use sedgehammer in addition to TA. TA works on everything else in my lawn.
Thanks for all of your helpful content brother. You do a great job of making things plain and simple! Do you know if I put down a Scott's product specifically for killing crabgrass, would it be okay or safe to also put down the scotts weed and feed at the same time or within a short term afterwards, such as within a few days to a week?
It's fine but spot spraying is best. Weed & Feed has to be applied on damp or grass with dew on it. Then you have to water it in after a few days. Did you apply a crabgrass pre-emergent like Halts?
Good info. I've got Scott's Southern Lawn Fertilizer, it's a 32-0-10. Could i apply it now like I would Yard mastery's Stress Blend, or later like the Flagship on May 1?
Great video! I have a question. Once applied I. The spring do I have to wait to apply milorganite? Or can I apply those together. ? I’m new to lawn care 😂
I have used Scott’s products for many years and have always had good success. Another good thing about Scott’s used to be their customer service but the last few times I’ve called, the customer service has awful. I was in a big box store looking at two different fertilizers and trying to decide which one to purchase. I called the number on the bag and just like the last time I called, I got someone on the phone with poor communication skills that had no knowledge of the product. She put me on hold and came back and asked me the bar code number on the two products. I was put on hold again and when she returned she began to read the label verbatim. I’d already read the labels on both products but I still had some questions. The person that answered the phone was no help whatsoever. There was once a time that Scott’s had knowledgeable customer service reps, or could at least connect you with someone that was knowledgeable. I still like their products, but you have to figure out on your own which one to use. The same thing happened when I called to inquire about their subscription service. The person I spoke with went to the website and read back to me (in very poor English) exactly what I’d already read. I chose not to participate in the subscription service.
@@steveavant9727 scotts is sold as a name brand at every lowes and homedepot,,go to your local community feed store and see the other brands they have and i bet you get better results,,,they just push scotts because of the brand name,,,just like nike sneakers,,doesnt mean they are better
Hello, I am a first time home buyer. I have just a little over 1/2 anchor lot and in Mid April I used Scots Blue bag. We had a lot of rain... and the grass is nice and green! Its also very thick. I really liked the results. once the rain has stopped... about couple weeks I noticed lots of dandelions. I pulled about 4 bucket of Dandelions. I than cut my grass the HIGHEST setting possible... The next day Early morning I did the Scotts Weeds & Feed (Wet Grass). about 10 hours later, it rained for about 11 hours. its been one day now, and I do see some new dandilions coming up from the ground. I guess a few things here. 1. Since the application was applied correct in the morning and stuck to everything, did the rain ruin the weed part? Granted prob helped the fertilizer... but is it best to apply to morning grass, and let it sit 24 - 48 hours before any water hits the grass... besides next day morning dew? Did i just kill the whole purpose of my weed and feed?
Is there such thing as over fertilizing? Do you think i should get some of that spray and start hand spraying some of those dandelions? I also want to know... since my grass i dont think was taken care of very well from the previous owners, that blue bag really helped at the start of this season. My friend told me, he puts the BLUE BAG on late fall before winter as well... so that way it will be even more green next season. Is that ok to do the Blue Bag and the end of the season AND early Spring as well - instead of doing the Winterize bag?
Yes you can over apply fertilizer. I’d wait at least 30-45 days before next app. More importantly read the label and it will tell you when to apply again.
@@GeoHoleNoNe The only way to get rid of dandelion is by digging it up and ensuring you get the entire tap root or it will grow back. Also, if you pull weeds after applying the weed and feed you will break the chemical barrier of the preemergent which will then allow weed seeds to germinate again.
TruGreen uses Scott’s products, I canceled them for that reason because I can buy it and do it myself. Plus my lawn never got green using TruGreen, didn’t start getting green until I started using Milorganite. I still have to fight weeds using Bonus S, while I will say TruGreen did keep my lawn weed free vs me doing it myself.
Yo BYD, new home owner in Dallas. My lawn is coming out dormant pretty well. I have quite a bit of dallis grass. I saw your vids about Dallas grass but was wondering if I should put down weed killer first ( preimergant & post) or fertilize first? Or should I use this weed and feed? I truly appreciate how you respond to your subscribers and how you find time to respond to this one!
Scott’s triple action solves all of those problems at once. So yes a weed and feed and pre emergent all at once. But apply according to directions. In other word granular pre m on dry lawn, water in then apply weed and feed to wet lawn.
Great video , after watching your video as a new home owner I applied triple action and after two weeks I did not see much improvement , infact instill have dead grass in some places that does not even looked like I sprayed anything . My question is can I use weed and feed after two weeks? Or to use superior nitrogen and potash ? Thanks in advance
As someone new into lawn care. I suppose this is an odd question but do you have to have a certification to apply fertilizer like this on your own lawn? And is there any limit to how much you are allowed to buy/use?
You do not need a license or certificate to apply this to you own lawn. Read the label of the product or products you buy and it will tell you how often and in some cases when to apply these products to your own lawn 👍🏾
Only if it’s a (restricted) product you cannot apply without a pesticide license. Which if that was the case you’d have to buy it in person and you would have to be licensed in your state
You get the best weed control in the fall, generally 2X a year is permissible but check the information on the bag. About a license, you cannot apply these products for hire on someone else's property. If your lawn has a weed problem, it may require more than one season to get it looking decent. BYD is a great place to learn about making the most of your lawn on the cheap.
Great video. Can you use both products or only one of them? Also, it’s June 2, 2022 and I applied bonus S about a month ago and it did help kill weeds and feed but I have some thinner area where there is less of the good top soil so I’m planning to dethatch and pull plugs (aerate) this weekend. Afterwards I’d like to apply another round of fertilizer. Thoughts…suggestions? Thanks BTW I’m on the MS Gulf coast.
That’s sounds great but you’ll be in for a long recovery ❤️🩹 time to do all that. Each of there weed and feed products recommend only use twice a year. Triple action 4 months a part. No, both should not be used at same time.
Ah! Not too bad and you’re right, every lawn is different. Mine Zoysia btw. I bought a thatching rake today and a few shallow passes and wow the dead thatch or cuttings that came out was amazing. The lawn is only a year old and has always been bagged.
Well hopefully mine will take because I'm in Jersey and it's suppose to rain this weekend but I already put it down this morning so I'll see if it still performs well being that I put it down on dry grass,now im wondering if i should water the lawn or just wait until it rains,what you think,??? Since i just put down the weed and feed when can i put down my grub killer???
I just to the Georgia area and I've started doing my own lawn. But I don't know what kind of grass that I have. It's new construction and the grass was brown in the winter. Can you help so that I can get this right, thanks
Good afternoon, I’m in GA and just bought Scott’s max green. I do have the yellow bag weed and feed, can I use them on the same day? And which one first?
Hello, question. So I planted watermelons months ago in my back yard. Couple days ago I weed and feed my backyard and now I’m worried it might affect my watermelons. Will they be safe to eat? I did not spray too close to the watermelons but it is the same backyard. Thank you.
Wait a few days after the mow or wait a couple of days before the mow when weeds are actively growing. Lawn must be wet and moist when you apply this formula
What is the name of brand of the weed and feed- - or grass seed that has green pellets? I used it once years ago, It turned my lawn beautiful dark green. I forgot the name of it. Thank you.
First time homeowner here with a Bermuda lawn That looks like it never quite too when installed in September of 2021. Weeds are everywhere. I have the bio advanced weed n feed for southern lawns. Can I add this and a traditional turf builder, or will that be too much?
You’ll have to read the product label of each to see what they say about new sod. I’d use a liquid weed kill for lawns. If you’ve mowed that lawn 4-5 time and that Bio advance does not have a pre emergent you should be good to go. READ label before you apply.
This was very well done BYD!
LCN is in the house 🏡, thanks 🙏🏾
This is the best compliment one could receive. You both rock!
Thanks LCN

@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral just smashed it
I set my spreader to 3 3/4 like the bag said and it seems to come out very thin. I used twixe as much with the previous feeding.
Timing is key. Easy peasy treatment from a woman who learned the hard way.
1st Treatment:
February 1-15: Scott's Triple Action if I have lingering winter weeds or Lesco pre-emergent if I dont have lingering winter weeds. If after March 1, then apply Scott's Weed n Feed (yellow bag) every 3 months during spring and summer. I may use a hose-end sprayer insecticide such as Sevin, Spectraside, or Scott's based off of what I observe while spreading. (Leafhoppers, european crane flies, moths, mole holes)
Second Treatment:
Late May but no later than June 15: I use the Scott's (orange bag) that has insect control. I also use Scott's GrubEx for grubs that will become June bugs if untreated.
Third Treatment:
Late September or near October 1: Apply Scott's Fall Guard (red bag) heavy. You may also want to treat for european crane flies that will emerge if untreated in Spring.
Fourth Treatment:
December 15: Even though my Bermuda is dormant, I put down another Scott's Fall Guard (red bag) treatment to prevent winter weeds that will emerge in February and March.

I saw your vids about Dallas grass but was wondering if I should put down weed killer first ( preimergant & post) or fertilize first? Or should I use this weed and feed? I truly appreciate how you respond to your subscribers and how you find time to respond to this one!
Scott’s triple action solves all of those problems at once. So yes a weed and feed and pre emergent all at once. But apply according to directions. In other word granular pre m on dry lawn, water in then apply weed and feed to wet lawn.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral brother you are truly a blessing. This whole lawn thing seems overwhelming but you make it easy! Thank you BYD!
So do I cut the grass then fertilizer or fertilizer then cut grass??? I’m new to this please help me out . I have dandelions coming in already ??
It lawn, wait 3-4 then apply then wait 3-4 to cut.
I use the generic 4 step program. I use generic spot weed killer. I have beautiful green grass for under $100.00
I failed to mention I use a generic grub application.
Whats best for Burweed/Stickers? And how do you feel about Scotts Bonus S?
I’ve never used Bonus S so I have no thoughts 🤷🏾♂️, as for The other question I’d literally google that question because I only use Spectracide 470
Great video , after watching your video as a new home owner I applied triple action and after two weeks I did not see much improvement , infact instill have dead grass in some places that does not even looked like I sprayed anything . My question is can I use weed and feed after two weeks? Or to use superior nitrogen and potash ? Thanks in advance
Not recommend, and not sure what type of lawn you have. You’ll need to wait at least 8 weeks.
As someone new into lawn care. I suppose this is an odd question but do you have to have a certification to apply fertilizer like this on your own lawn? And is there any limit to how much you are allowed to buy/use?
You do not need a license or certificate to apply this to you own lawn. Read the label of the product or products you buy and it will tell you how often and in some cases when to apply these products to your own lawn 👍🏾
Only if it’s a (restricted) product you cannot apply without a pesticide license. Which if that was the case you’d have to buy it in person and you would have to be licensed in your state
You get the best weed control in the fall, generally 2X a year is permissible but check the information on the bag. About a license, you cannot apply these products for hire on someone else's property. If your lawn has a weed problem, it may require more than one season to get it looking decent. BYD is a great place to learn about making the most of your lawn on the cheap.
Watched till the end! ✅✅✅

Thanks 👍🏾
Great video. Can you use both products or only one of them? Also, it’s June 2, 2022 and I applied bonus S about a month ago and it did help kill weeds and feed but I have some thinner area where there is less of the good top soil so I’m planning to dethatch and pull plugs (aerate) this weekend. Afterwards I’d like to apply another round of fertilizer. Thoughts…suggestions? Thanks BTW I’m on the MS Gulf coast.
That’s sounds great but you’ll be in for a long recovery ❤️🩹 time to do all that. Each of there weed and feed products recommend only use twice a year. Triple action 4 months a part. No, both should not be used at same time.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral recovery time for the lawn - if I dethatch and aerate now?
@@MrScott_e every lawn is different but 3-8 weeks
Ah! Not too bad and you’re right, every lawn is different. Mine Zoysia btw. I bought a thatching rake today and a few shallow passes and wow the dead thatch or cuttings that came out was amazing. The lawn is only a year old and has always been bagged.
Great video
Thanks
Well hopefully mine will take because I'm in Jersey and it's suppose to rain this weekend but I already put it down this morning so I'll see if it still performs well being that I put it down on dry grass,now im wondering if i should water the lawn or just wait until it rains,what you think,??? Since i just put down the weed and feed when can i put down my grub killer???
I just to the Georgia area and I've started doing my own lawn. But I don't know what kind of grass that I have. It's new construction and the grass was brown in the winter. Can you help so that I can get this right, thanks
It’s probably bermuda grass, but ask your neighbors what type of lawn they have, you probably have the same.
Question. How long to wait after applied before to mow grass? Thx
Give yourself at least 4 days
Thanks for the video can i use scotts turf builder weed and feed 5 on centipede grass
You’ll have to check to label
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral ok I called Scott just to confirm. Thanks for the reply
I'm staying to the end Mr BYD
Awesome and thanks 🙏🏾
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thank you
Just got the Scotts weed and feed. Sam’s Club had the 40lb bag cheaper than Walmart and Lowes, and home depot
Awesome 😎
Thanks for the detailed information. I have St. Augustine Grass.💆🏾♀️
I need your help. Surfactant vs dish soap which is better when applying herbicide?
I’d get Real surfactant before Dish soap but if on a budget dish soap works also.
Can I use turfbuilder triple action on a new seeded lawn?
No it’s not recommended because it contains a Pre Emergent.
Fifth element music at the top
BINGO !!
Good afternoon, I’m in GA and just bought Scott’s max green. I do have the yellow bag weed and feed, can I use them on the same day? And which one first?
Can’t use one same day.
can i apply the triple action to my kentucky/tall fescue with milorganite ?
Yes 👍🏾
Hello, question. So I planted watermelons months ago in my back yard. Couple days ago I weed and feed my backyard and now I’m worried it might affect my watermelons. Will they be safe to eat? I did not spray too close to the watermelons but it is the same backyard. Thank you.
You’ll be ok 👍🏾. As long none got into the patch.
Well done 👏🏾
Thanks Will
I like triple action
Works on centipede
I know you said to do it on wet grass, but we have heavy rain coming that should last several days. So, should I wait until the rain is over? Thanks
Needs to be on lawn 2-3 days before rain comes.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral
Thank you.
I was going to mo the day before I put the weed and feed down. What is the general rule of thumb?
Wait a few days after the mow or wait a couple of days before the mow when weeds are actively growing. Lawn must be wet and moist when you apply this formula
So which 1 would you perfer?
Depends what you need. If you haven’t added Pre emergent then Triple action. If you already did a separate pre emergent then regular weed and feed.
What is the name of brand of the weed and feed- - or grass seed that has green pellets? I used it once years ago, It turned my lawn beautiful dark green. I forgot the name of it.
Thank you.
No idea 🤷🏾♂️
What happens if u mix them together and then apply it
Not sure of what you’re mixing.
Do you still have to lay grass seeds if you use a weed and feed? I have Tall Fescue
I personally don’t recommend a weed and feed with seeding any type grass
Excellent video BYD, thanks for all the info. I guess the Cheat code is coming soon lol...
Yep 👍🏾
I know it's off topic. But do you use rocks or mulch for your landscaping/flower bed?
Rocks and pine straw
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Thanks for responding. What's your thoughts on rubber mulch?
First time homeowner here with a Bermuda lawn That looks like it never quite too when installed in September of 2021. Weeds are everywhere. I have the bio advanced weed n feed for southern lawns. Can I add this and a traditional turf builder, or will that be too much?
You’ll have to read the product label of each to see what they say about new sod. I’d use a liquid weed kill for lawns. If you’ve mowed that lawn 4-5 time and that Bio advance does not have a pre emergent you should be good to go. READ label before you apply.
