It’s so refreshing to see even you have weed issues. Makes me more confident that since I have issues, I’m not alone!!! Not that I’m wishing that on you...
I’m not running around playing with the neighborhoods Pusley yet but boy am I enjoying this channel. All in due time. By the way my lawn is looking amazing. Thank you sir!!!!!!
Thanks for the videos LCN, I live in Miami and my biggest problem was finding a day it wasn’t over 85 to spread the weed control. Well the weather finally got more moderate this week and maybe I can do something about my weeds and by moderate I mean it will only be a high of 82 today. Love the videos on Florida please keep them coming!
Can I apply sunniland weed and feed now I live near palm beach and it will get in the 50s soon is it safe to apply sunniland weed and feed as a preemergent
I'm in Tampa and have a new weed problem with a weed that looks like this, is hairy and has little white flowers. I'm pretty sure my weed is florida pulsey. Nutsedge, clover and moss are also getting under my skin lately. Ive only started working on this lawn since spring, no preemergent (it's june)
Hello Allen, In one of your videos you updated this hose sprayer by cutting of the sieve. I don‘t find this video anymore. Are you able to send me a link to this video? Thanks
Allyn thanks for this. I've had pretty good luck controlling dayflower (despite general neighborly apathy towards weeds) with Atrazine here in 9B. Keep a 1 gal sprayer of it (lasts a week or so in the 'warm' season) and do a yard patrol before / after every mow.
I used Spectracide Weed Stop last year(granular version) and it did a great job. So far very few weeds showing(in Mississippi) where as my neighbor is covered with them in his yard. Just bought the liquid version of Weed Stop and plan to spot treat this year. Will follow up with Scotts Weed and Feed in the Spring.
This pusley weed is fierce here. Popping up everywhere. I am going to Lowe’s tonight and buying a bag of the weed and feed you showed on the video. Hope it works.
I used Spectracide concentrate and got almost no results broadcasting it with my Ortho hose end sprayer. Now I'm going to have to try a different solution with the pump sprayer.
LCN, have you done or considered doing a video about a smart phone app for plant identification. For instance I've used PlantNet to identify weeds but I would welcome better suggestions. Weed identification seems so important because it affects which weed killer you buy.
I recommend you get a field guide. I have one called "weeds of the south" and it helps me greatly with ID. For an app, I'd love to do that but it's not in my capability right now. Someday maybe though.
@@TheLawnCareNut With PlantNet you take a picture and it scans their vast database for suggested matches. The first choice is usually the right one. It's like facial recognition for plants. And it's free.
@Eddy Contreras I am planning to buy Avenue South but a little afraid to do a blanket application and things goes south. How different is blindside from Avenue South?
Do you know anything about getting rid of thistle? We have been battling it for 4 years. We've tried every trick out there short of setting it on fire.
You probably have St Augustine, Bahia or common Bermuda. If you live in a newer area, maybe Zoysia. Do some Google searches for those grass types and see what matches up for you.
I just had some forestry mulching done on my property. I have about .75 of an acre. The company told me to just let the mulch rest for a year. He’s cutter head blades weren’t that sharp which left big chucks of bark behind. Should I wait the year? Should I hire someone to come and bull dose the entire yard? What’s your or anyone’s advice?
I'm not an expert in that kind of mulch but my assumption is they want it to dry out some before you spread it around your beds. Maybe once it dries they can chop it up finer for you.
Why the shade to Round-Up? I thought Matt Martin did a great video on why glyphosate is being smeared... but if the problem is with Monsanto I can understand that part.
Get on it early in the spring. Use Tenacity if you can get it. Clover drops seeds so it may take a couple years of diligence until all the seeds that are in your soil burn themselves out.
Surprised there's confusion between pusley and dayflower. The different leaf color is a big give away though even easier is pulling them out and reviewing the root structure. Pusley has a large root tuber and can sometimes be harder to pull while dayflower has fibrous roots.
You touched on a weed called "Calinga?" I have that all over my yard. did you make a video on that weed yet? I tried searching and don't see it. I live in near by Bradenton area.
What part of California? I’m in SF Bay Area and tall fescue does really well here. It survived the severe drought a few years ago with watering once every 12 days.
Here in Cali LA COUNTY growing st.aug just gotta be patient with the grass n learn the watering pattern you don’t need a lot of water n let it grow 4” inch high it will grow n live with min water good luck
That’s the other challenge we have in this state in addition to water restrictions, we also have the three zones for growing grass. We’re the only state with all three zones, which I believe adds even more to the confusion! 😱
According to University of Florida. 2,4-D = Safe for Floratam (will stress it a little). 2,4-D + "Mecoprop" = Not safe for Floratam, but safe for Palmetto (will stress it a little). Basically if you have Floratam (noted by purple stolons in the fall) and see the words "Mecoprop" or "MSM" (also harsh on Palmetto) on your product. Do not use it. I mention these two because they are seen in some Southern formulations that say "wont kill grass". But if you open the label it says do not use on Floratam. Always read the labels fully.
Having trouble controlling day flower weeds in my st Augustine, south Florida... not sure if I should spray (every time time I do causes turf damage but it works) however the weeks come back after 3-4 weeks. I’ve been using Celsius and I’ve reached my yearly limit. Would you use a pre-m and just until best season or is it too late to spray post-m in your opinion?
Hey LCN, What kind of info do you have on using atrazine on zoysia. I noticed you didn’t mention it when talking about the weed and feed. Scott’s says Bonus S is good to use on zoysia. So is there a difference in the two?
Gotcha. I’ve used Bonus S with good results on St. Aug (usually just in the spring) but we bought a new house in October and now I’ve got a 15000sqft back yard that’s all zoysia. Still got St. Aug in the front though. Woohoo!!
Hey Allyn great video as always. Orlando FL with St. Aug here. I'm going to be throwing down my Nov application of fert and N-ext products. I just threw down Dithiopyr last month with fert and N-ext products, can I throw down the sunniland on this Nov app too? or should I just stick to the Nov app you suggested in the guide and leave the next app of pre emergent for beginning of next year? Thanks for all the help and knowledge
Hey Allyn, I threw down the Hi-Yield with Dithiopyr pre-emergent on Monday, and it seems to have stunted my St. Aug. I normally mow Fridays, and it doesn’t look like it needs a cut today. Could the pre-emerg have stunted it? I am in West Palm Beach, it’s been warm and rainy, but tomorrow temps are going lower for sure.
Very confusing , one Gardner has just posted that day flower has become immune to common weed killers and will only respond to nutsedge killers💔 What do y’all think ? It’s taking over the whole backyard !
I get better results adding an ounce or 2 of baby shampoo to the bottle. Shake well and spray. It enables the weed killer to stick better to the offending weeds.
I don't think that's Florida pusley. I wish I could send you a picture. I have them all over my lawn. They take over pretty quickly if you don't control them early enough. Well, maybe that's Florida pusley, however, the one in my lawn doesn't have glossy leaves.
I understand why as "LCN, LLC" or whatever, you shouldn't be affiliated with RoundUp. Great business decision, IMO. (Not that you need my pat on the back.) But! I think it should be known that the lawsuit in CA no basis in science. It's interesting to read about if anyone has any interest in how the US court systems work.

It’s so refreshing to see even you have weed issues. Makes me more confident that since I have issues, I’m not alone!!! Not that I’m wishing that on you...
Oh for sure. I have tons of weeds lol. My lawn is far from perfect. It's not easy here.
I certainly do appreciate the florida sun. It was 6 degrees this morning.
I’m not running around playing with the neighborhoods Pusley yet but boy am I enjoying this channel. All in due time.
By the way my lawn is looking amazing.
Thank you sir!!!!!!
👊🙌

In the future, you can spray in the evening too.
Thank you soo much cause I have a whole flower bed of day flower and I have pusley all over my lawn. Now I know how to attack!!
Can I apply sunniland weed and feed now I live near palm beach and it will get in the 50s soon is it safe to apply sunniland weed and feed as a preemergent
weed and feed is not a pre-emergent
So when the label on an herbicide says not to apply when temps are over 85, does that mean at the time of application, for 24 hours, a week?
Good question
I'm in Tampa and have a new weed problem with a weed that looks like this, is hairy and has little white flowers. I'm pretty sure my weed is florida pulsey. Nutsedge, clover and moss are also getting under my skin lately. Ive only started working on this lawn since spring, no preemergent (it's june)
I've used that same product. Roundup for lawns and it worked great. Fast and Efficiently
It's reassuring to see that weeds can grow in your lawn too.
oh yes for sure, I don't have a perfect lawn at all. If I did things would be very boring 👊🤘
Good to follow your videos since I just moved in this summer into Parrish and following your techniques
Great video. You even mentioned my hometown, Pembroke Pines, in your email. Nice mid to high 70’s all week this coming week. Perfect yard weather
nice! I love it down there!
And you just leave them and mow until your grass takes them over or should I pull them?
Nice to see some palm trees. 8 inches of snow yesterday and 6 degrees tonight in SE,MI. both records
I'll keep bringing the sunshine and palm trees all winter for you!

What is the weed that grows like a mat and looks like a small dollar weed leaf? Between that and dollar weed its killing my lawn
I’ve been waiting so long for this vid for these exact weeds. Thank you Sir for dropping the knowledge.
👊
I used the Image on my st augustine and it killed the weeds but also my grass too.
Great tips Mr Nut. Ice and snow here in southern Illinois.
Sounds like fun.
I love Round Up. I buy it pure concentrate by the gallon. It's the only stuff that works.
Its not round up that works dude, its the ingredient glyphosate. Round up is the company name.
This pusley weed is fierce here. Popping up everywhere. I am going to Lowe’s tonight and buying a bag of the weed and feed you showed on the video. Hope it works.
Should i mow the lawn first?
I used Spectracide concentrate and got almost no results broadcasting it with my Ortho hose end sprayer. Now I'm going to have to try a different solution with the pump sprayer.

I want to hear more about Avenue South. I heard is a great herbicide to use in St. Augustine, otherwise what would be the best post emergent?
@Eddy Contreras I am planning to buy Avenue South but a little afraid to do a blanket application and things goes south.
How different is blindside from Avenue South?
Do you know anything about getting rid of thistle? We have been battling it for 4 years. We've tried every trick out there short of setting it on fire.
Sorry northern folk but I love these Florida specials 🤗
20 and windy in NJ so that Florida sun looks real good right now!! Add a craft beer and you would really have something!!
👊
How do I tell what kind of grass I have in Florida?
You probably have St Augustine, Bahia or common Bermuda. If you live in a newer area, maybe Zoysia. Do some Google searches for those grass types and see what matches up for you.

Thanks
Should I rake up the dead dayflower and roots or let it disintegrate through mowings?
let it melt back in on its own, all good.
I hit the Blindside with a quinclorac mixed in, I went heavy handed. I might have been angry when I went out there.
Sounds like a party!
Why the shade to Round-Up? I thought Matt Martin did a great video on why glyphosate is being smeared... but if the problem is with Monsanto I can understand that part.
I have zero problems with it but 99% of the world does due to the fake news so I have to separate myself because of that. Sad but true.
Plenty of Florida Snow here in the Melbourne area.
Spray and pray! 😂😄
Have you tried using a verticutter / vertical mowing to reduce the spread of the weeds?
The above ground spreading of his grass type might make that not possible.
Verticutting for weed control? Lived in Florida all my life and that's a new one.
@@StrikitRich Stops the spread of the weeds by cutting the lateral growth off.
@@Boodieman72 I would think it would just the opposite as all those cuttings would spread/run even more on their own.
@@StrikitRich The cutting are removed from the lawn.
Is it safe to use any of these products on St Aug here in early December? Orlando FL
What is your best recommendation for getting rid of clover I live in Long Island New York and I'm constantly battling with this
Get on it early in the spring. Use Tenacity if you can get it. Clover drops seeds so it may take a couple years of diligence until all the seeds that are in your soil burn themselves out.
@@TheLawnCareNut thank you so much I appreciate it
Can I use the sunniland weed and feed with one of the spray weed killer or is that over doing it?
Probably over doing it. See what happens with the sunniland and then spray weeds later if needed.
The Lawn Care Nut thanks for the reply and thanks for helping us all out with our lawns
Great stuff! Will Atrezine help get rid of Burmuda in St. Aug?...Thanks
no it wont - the concentrations are not high enough. It will stunt it but not completely eliminate it.
Wow Alan I thought you always had Marathon tall fescue grass
Surprised there's confusion between pusley and dayflower. The different leaf color is a big give away though even easier is pulling them out and reviewing the root structure. Pusley has a large root tuber and can sometimes be harder to pull while dayflower has fibrous roots.
Does that work on dove weed as well?
You touched on a weed called "Calinga?" I have that all over my yard. did you make a video on that weed yet? I tried searching and don't see it. I live in near by Bradenton area.
Kyllinga or nutsedge - same thing. I have a couple different vids mentioning it. Sedgehammer is a good product to use.
@@TheLawnCareNut Thanks for the reply. I'll check out those videos!
Here in California is very hard to grow any type of grass with the drought we have
What part of California? I’m in SF Bay Area and tall fescue does really well here. It survived the severe drought a few years ago with watering once every 12 days.

Only good thing about winter is I get a break from weeds.
According to University of Florida.
2,4-D = Safe for Floratam (will stress it a little).
2,4-D + "Mecoprop" = Not safe for Floratam, but safe for Palmetto (will stress it a little).

Hey Al, would a manual thatching rake help to speed up the decaying weeds for you?
Tough in St Aug with all the fat stolons. They would also get caught in the rake.
That sucks...
We r into winter here in the uk getting the grey sky blues. Very jealous of the sun u hav. Did u still hav the ego mower ?
I gave the Ego mower to my Aunt and Uncle . They needed one for their house.
Good video bro, thanks from Thonotossasa, Florida
Dollarweed is all over my St. Augustine because the gutter dumps tons of water on my grass.

Bought that herbicide in concentrate after this video first aired been meaning to put it out for 3 weeks.
Can you apply Atrazine to Zoysia?
Did you had good results?

Isn’t day flower good for putting nitrogen back into the soil?
Maybe it is a nitrogen fixer, I didn't check, but I'm not cultivating a food forest anyway.
Ambrosius13 you have to kill it for it to release nitrogen.
Very confusing , one Gardner has just posted that day flower has become immune to common weed killers and will only respond to nutsedge killers💔
What do y’all think ? It’s taking over the whole backyard !
Not first but before Connor, and that’s all that matters folks
7 just like the thermometer 🌡 says in Minneapolis 🥶
What’s going on Allyn 👌👍
Baaa-hiiiiiiii-yaaaa!!! Love the quick tips.
But it's pronounced ba hay aa
I got a brother named Pusley...
I get better results adding an ounce or 2 of baby shampoo to the bottle. Shake well and spray. It enables the weed killer to stick better to the offending weeds.
Felt like I was watching Pop Up Video on VH1 for a second.
Ha ha that's taking it waaaaayyy back !
Oh boy! Australian couch and Florida pusley ...🤪🤔
George Popa 😂🥶
