  • Applying pre emergent to your lawn is easier than you might think. By applying Prodiamine WDG you'll save a ton of money and can have up to an 8 month barrier preventing weeds. It's the best pre emergent for spring, and I use it every year.

    You might also consider adding some dye, it helps two ways. First you can see any missed spots, and second with each mix, it doesn’t take long to relate to the amount of die which helps with proper coverage. One can easily see light spots or overly darker spots.
    If one measures the die per volume of the mix, then one soon can relate to getting application even over covered area every trip.

    Thanks for the great video! I seeded too late last year with my Zoysia due to bad weather forecast so this fall is my first pre-emergent herbicide application. I found this video helpful. One tip I would like to share is to use a turf marking dye. I assume most are the same but what I currently have came from the Tractor Supply Store. I've had it over spray on my downspouts, sidewalk, plastic and wood lattice and fence and I figured if needed I could pressure wash this away, but I've never had to even once because even on concrete it washes away easily with rain. I usually (although I forget now and then) try to spray my first pass around the perimeter without a marking dye so i don't get it on my wood fence, but it hasn't mattered much. As you said, you probably missed a few spots and with a marking dye, you can easily see to slightly overlap your application and not miss spots. For the amount of work involved in treating weeds where you missed, I think it is a worthy investment. If you ever have a leak in a toilet, flush, then put 2-3 drops into the reservoir while it fills back up and if you have a leak, you'll definitely know it in a matter of minutes. Thanks for the video!
    I also wear a polyester blend when I am spraying. If it gets any stains you can bleach it and some pesticides are neutralized by bleach as well. Don't forget to run a clear water cycle after you wash if you get much on your clothes, especially if you are doing young kids clothes.

      @@GrassDaddy My pleasure! And I really enjoyed your video covering the "Super Juice" snake oil. Once person somewhere said that on the third lawn where it was roped off when you applied but the rope wasn't there when you returned and you said it was the area beside where the SJ was sprayed, someone (lacking in common sense and logic) felt that proved it worked because you couldn't tell where it was sprayed. Really? If you sprayed section A, then came back later and couldn't tell if you sprayed section A or section B, if they look the same, to me, that just further proved it did not work if you can't see any difference weeks later.
      I did get in a crunch and buy his PGF Complete simply because it was the only 16-4-8 +iron I could find and it had some humic acid and other stuff. You could easily see where I had about 6 inches of overlap from my broadcast spreader because my soil was so iron depleted that I had darker green stripes in my lawn. My poor lawn was so iron deficient that I came back with milorganite which has iron (I think?), a couple bags of Ironite, then came back later with another application of the PGF Complete +Fe and I still could see faint stripes where my soil and Zoysia wanted more iron. Although I think the Super Juice is a joke and I would never spend my money on it, my front lawn spread well this first real growing season and there were large gaps in the grass which filled in, and I now may maybe 20-25 sq. ft. (if that) of small patches that didn't quite fill in 100%.

  • @ryeguy01
    @ryeguy01 6 років тому +5

    Just an FYI - you're right you can apply prodiamine only once and have it last, but there are studies showing split apps give better control even though it's the same total amount per year. So if you're willing to put in the extra effort of doing a second app you'll get slightly better results. This applies to any other type of preemergent as well.

      Interesting. I'm going to have to see if I can find the one I was looking at. Either way, convenience of one application is for me but I'd be curious how this correlates to weeds that germinate in the fall like Poa Annua. Is it 88% effective against those because of the single app as well? Would be nice to know!

      I strongly agree with 2 apps per year. I've been treating lawns for 12 years now. Its ok with one app, but doing such a heavy rate good chance 1. Coverage won't be as good 2. Very hard to agitate rite.3 so most likely put to much down some where on the lawn.so basically damaging the growth or not allowing new seedlings to germinate like most turfs do

    Grass Daddy I have a question regarding the Prodiamine you use. I've read the shelf life is only about 3 years and for as little as we will use it could last a very long time. For example I have fine fescue and ryegrass in my yard which uses the lowest amount per 1000 sqft and with my lawn size I'd have the product for like 15 years before it ran out.
    I've heard this WDG Prodiamine only is good for a few years if stored right. How long have you had your bottle of the WDG Prodiamine and would it still be effective after the shelf life expired? I agree overall this stuff is cheaper in the long run but hard to say when you might have to waste so much if the effectiveness drops past its expiration. Thoughts?

    I'm planning to apply prodiamine but in the granular form. I read that it's safe for pets after a little bit of time to get into the soil. Is this true? I have a dog that plays in the yard.

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  6 років тому

      So you'll want to water it in and then when it is dry it is safe to enter. If you don't water it in the dust will still be on the lawn so if the dog licks the grass it will be there.

    What about overseeding in the fall will this prevent you from being able to do that? Does it need to wear out before you seed like a 6 month instead of 8 ? Thanks for the help

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  4 роки тому +1

      If you use pre-emergent then you have to apply in a rate that wears off before seed down. It's one of the reasons I like prodiamine, it's labeled for 3-8 months so you can plan it out. My calculator helps with the math www.grassdaddy.net/tools/prodiamine-calculator

    How soon after applying glyphosate to kill weeds, can I apply prodiamine?
    Will the prodiamine stain white rocks like the ones you have in your flower bed in the background?
    Thanks again.

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  6 років тому +1

      Glyphosate will kill grass as well. You can apply prodiamine at the same time if you wish but nothing will grow back. I haven't seen it stain anything. I'm assuming you are looking to make your own extended control round up for a rock driveway?

    • @bobbywoell7945
      @bobbywoell7945 6 років тому

      Grass Daddy - I read that you can’t mix the two in a sprayer (not good to mix the 2 chemicals together). I was wondering if there is a waiting period after applying glyphosate I should exercise before applying prodiamine.
      Yeah, I have a customer Who’s entire front yard is white rocks instead of grass. After noticing the mustard color of the prodiamine, I was worried it would make the white rocks mustard rocks.

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  6 років тому

      You can but you have to do it in increments so you don't smother the grass. Also be sure to rake the grass blades up after. You'll want to use sand or topsoil not compost because the compost will break down and then the soil level will go back down with it.

      Grass Daddy ok. Well this is great info. I already put down a product that is going to be good for 4 months which is the middle of July. So, I guess I can put down an application of this to last for the remaining 3 months but I don't want it to interfere with be seed in the fall. So, maybe I'll just until next spring

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  6 років тому

      Yeah I would put it down after the seed has matured in the fall or wait till next year, but once you get enough good grass down you can keep doing split apps or one big app and you're good to go!

  • @stephfong4577
    @stephfong4577 4 роки тому

    There's always a dilemma. If you put down preemergent, you cannot seed.
    In spring, we apply pre emergent but some weeds are going to come up no matter what we do later in the year. So we either pull or spray the weeds, which leaves holes on the lawn. Then we are stuck.
    Because if we put down seeds, it cannot germinate. If we don't put down seeds, those holes are going to be there and weed seeds are going to fill in.

    Hello. I just bought my second home and the grass wasn’t in good shape so I need to aeration and over seed and fertilize so I was wonder when can I put the pre emergent down? Can I put it down right after I put the grass seed down or do I wait a couple weeks?

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  6 років тому +2

      So pre-emergent will stop all seeds, grass included, from germinating. There is a product called tenacity (mesotrione) that will prevent many weeds while allowing grass to grow. It's a liquid. There is also Scott's starter with weed preventer which has mesotrione in it. So what you do is use that starter fert to give you some protection and then once the grass has been mown 2-3 times you put the regular pre-emergent down.

    • @apollogordon7834
