911 whats your emergency? "There's a guy laying on the sidewalk talking to his phone...keeps pointing at the grass"
NOVA Dash Cam lol
I have told my neighbors “if you see me laying on the ground I’m not resting call 911!”
It takes 2:09 before he says anything remotely interesting about crab grass, just jump to that point. Great info after that, however. You're welcome, visitors.
Thanks!
So what.... he's funny! :-D
@@Sheffield6688 time is money - it you are in this just for entertainment, then enjoy wasting your life. If he wants a "time waster" channel then fine. But I suspect he will actually appreciate this type of feedback since it's real.
@@fordguyfordguy Lol!! :-D
I agree Andrew, just get to the Fn point!
Drive label states not for use on St. Augustine grass. That's what I have, my whole yard and all my neighbors have St Augustine grass. So...what is going to work on Crab grass in Sta Augustine?
I wish I took as much pride in anything as you take in your lawn…
All thanks to hex_hacker09 for via ❗️♌️stagra♏️ for reactivating my snap
Anyone stop and ask if you fell off your bike and got hurt? We have to address our grab grass issues :( . I really have good intentions but not a lot of energy.
My lawn had crab, bahia, and dallis, but all were able to be pulled up, root and all. Some weeds snap off when you pull, despite your best efforts so you can't pull the root out. But these pull great. Over time, this stuff is all but gone because my St Augustine filled in the gaps they left. These are very satisfying to pull!
That was an awesome video! Very informative, thanks!!
Lawn Care Rookie you're welcome!
The Lawn Care Nut Very MUCH lIke the video keep it up my neighbors hate my guts but my lawn needs more of your professional help. Spraying is good. but if you have a high traffic lawn you get a lot of damage.
Rookie what was the name you said that was going to stop crabgrass at about 7:22 in the vid? I just moved to a house and trying to work on my yard. I have 50% crabgrass.
i have 60% crabgrass my house continues to go up value , twice what i bought it 30 years ago ..i have not did shit to my lawn , wasted time and polluted the soil
gasdorfic muncher you must not care about the up keep of your house or the value of your neighborhood
I know this video is now considered super old but the knowledge and explanation is priceless. This was bare bones to the point with no BS on what you need to know about Crab Grass. I've been looking for the simplified version and you hit every point. Thank you for making this video.
For someone like me who just wants the facts - I have to say this video was entertaining
+Anthony Quinn Mke glad you liked it!
Ok, at 3:30 you talk about a different type of grassy weed, specifically a clumping type tall fescue. I think I have some of that in my cool MN lawn, but I KNOW I have quite a bit of Yellow or Green Foxtail. I have struggled to remove it for over a decade. What can I do to get rid of it Allyn? Maybe you can do a video on it, and other grassy weeds!
Dude, your lawn looks so amazing, I thought it was photoshopped for sure. Crazy color!
What’s the deal with the background music?
Great videos!! Very fun! I sense you watch Casey Neistat??
Garden Answer yes and I see some of that in your vids too! He has been an influence on so many.
The Lawn Care Nut Agreed!!
Garden Answer yes
What's the name of the music in your video
Garden Answer 3 yrs later
You have no idea how long I have been wondering what the hell that purple crabgrass was. Thanks for the info!
He has permanent stripes! If he did it double wide and towards the street you'd be jealous..
Congrats! on selling your home. Look forward to your next journey of "dominating" your new neighbor.
Kevin Dowe thank you!
Congratulations on the sale of your home LCN. I hope you do not move in next door to me though.
heystarfish100 you never know! :)
+heystarfish100 LOL
@ 3.38 what weed is that.. it destroyed my lawn. You say remove it
Thanks, nice video. Great explanation for life cycle of crab grass. I try to use organic lawncare methods and I don't worry too much about weeds. One organic alternative for prevention is to have a thick, healthy lawn that crowds out the crab grass as much as possible. Your lawn is so thick that I do not think you need to put the preemergent.
I overseeded last fall and this spring. Even used the Sunday lawn Care plan. Lawn was very full and looked fantastic! I definitely had the best looking lawn all summer. Then I still got hit hard with crabgrass this year. It's taking over and I have no clue what to do aside from ripping out the entire lawn.
clumping fescue, man i always thought that was crabgrass
We call it Quack grass. Ordinary week killer has no effect on it, and it can eventually take over the whole yard. You can spot treat it with weed-and-grass killer.
Is there a certain time to kill crabgrass? Temperature wise, where I live it’s about 105 throughout the week
Thanks
I live in Rock Hill SC. What is the best time of the year to treat for crabgrass?
Early spring. The crabgrass is mostly dead during winter but regerminates arround April..when the soil temp is arround 51-54 degrees. When that happens then the seeds pop and up they come..small at first..then they slowly take over. Best time to go preemergant is early March and early June. Get the crabgrass..and then before the summer weeds start. Read your label to find out how much and which method is best. I'd recommend a backpack sprayer with a fan tip for wide patterns.. Spray arround knee height and try to keep your spray pattern consistent.. overlap alittle but not too much so you get good coverage.
this is the second video i watched so far and i'm already hooked (i'm new to lawn maintenance). these videos are broken down to where even i can understand and they're also entertaining.
your lawn looks edible
Great video. As a heads up, the Lesco Pre-M isn't available everywhere and I believe Home Depot only sells it in the southern markets. I tried ordering that this past year but they can't deliver it and it isn't in any stores around here. Instead I was able to get a Lesco Pre-M through John Deere landscaping.
Bryan Hulke yes I know it's tough. John Deere Landscapes is where I always go for it also. Thank you for the heads up!!
Help Joe and Bob the nut!!!
"Oh wait, this is what your grass probably looks like." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaa. I can't. That was awesome!
That was hilarious
Thanks for the advice as far how Drive XLR8 works. It make sense now, the crabgrass is turning like an orange color. I thought for a minute that Drive herbicide was not doing it's job.
Hi Lawn Care Nut
Any chance you could elaborate a little more or make a short video on the clumping fescue? I would love to rid my lawn of this.
Thanks
Steve
I have the same question. Would it be better to kill the clumping fescue first or can we just rent a sod cutter and take it out?
Amber Deleo a sod cutter still leaves behind roots that will grow back.
Depending on how much you have, you can use full strength Roundup in a small needle glue or oiler bottle that can be purchased to Hobby Stores. You can put one drop on each blade, and it will kill it. Fescue is really a problem grass unless you have a horse pasture. Obviously this one blade at a time is tedious but it is selective, and does work if you have patience and not too much Fescue. If you have a lot, you might consider killing it all with Roundup, and then replacing the sod.
AD. you have to kill it with Roundup through the leaf or blade. If you dig it out first there is not enough plant left to kill, and it will come back through the roots remaining in the ground.
So, if the crab grass is germinating (spreading the seed) now, August 31st, I would use the professional product called "drive"? And what will that do to my Bermuda grass I have been trying to grow?
What needs to be done to begin getting more of my Bermuda grass to grow thicker after using the "drive"? After using the drive to kill the crab grass, when should more of my desired grass seed be thrown out to try to get more of the desired grass to grow?
Your editing skills are great. I wish workout videos had your skills.
I just did a lawn renovation. My lawn was 26 yrs old and needed redone. I killed the lawn first with round up. And left it almost a month to make sure it was dead. I then rented a sod cutter and removed the existing sod base and hauled it away. The bare ground was as clean as whistle and no further weeds or grass appeared over the next week. I had a tiller rented as well and tilled up the base so the new seed would have a good base to attach to. I added one tandem load of top soil from the same company that I rented the sod cutter, tiller, and roller from. We spread out the soil and noticed some dead grass pieces in the top soil of which my experienced landscaping help had never seen. We pulled out most of what we could out of this new top soil. The lawn was spread out and rolled a starter fertilizer was laid down and mixed in along with Scott’s turf builder sunny mix/ bluegrass with water tech coating as we are going through a drought. The seed performed as expended and appeared evenly in about 10 days. Everything seemed to be going great. Then all these bladed like weeds stared appearing. I looked it up and it was crab grass. Apparently I purchased contaminated soil. As I now have more weeds than I did with the old lawn. I will have to have this bad soil removed and start over as my goal was to be starting with nice clean slate of grass and not a mess of weeds. My neighbour purchased the same top soil from the same company and he now also has to redo his lawn as he has the exact same crab grass weeds.
Just found your channel, thanks for the info. Newly interested in lawn care because I can't afford a lawn care guy!
You know what would be entertaining? If at your new house your next door neighbor was.............wait for it...........wait for it.........EDDIE GRISWOLD.
Dude ... U are smokin! Not grass, of course but highly informative.
we should smoke some grass and then work on our grass.
Hey Allyn, do you do your own video editing? your presentation and video editing is really good. Im as green as your lawn lol
this dude takes his lawn way 2 serious. lol
No such thing as too serious. It's called pride in ownership
i will take anal any day .... oh wait .. shit..
Rather he wait till the HOA jumps on him till he works on his yard?
shit ton chemicals holy fuck ..cancer much
gasdorfic muncher troll!
You suggest Drive for crabgrass. However, the label says not to use it on St. Augustine.
"NOT FOR USE ON: St. Augustine, Centipede, Bahiagrass, Bentgrass or Dichondra, Fine fescue unless it is a seed blend"
Have you used it on St Augustine floratam and had good results?
You got me with the music! UA-cam was on autoplay in the background so I didn't consciously click on this video (I was busy doing other chores) but the music brought me back in focus. It was worth it, and I've been educated. The theme music served its purpose! Thanks!
+toyetoyetoye that's awesome thank you!!
Q: My crabgrass is sprouting seed stalks, but I think the seed is immature (no black puffy stuff coming out, if that means mature.) Will mowing off these stalks do anything (such as cut down on seeds for next year? Or am I wasting my time?
I don't understand why people like to mow their yard so low ,especially tall fescue ,that was the problem in the last yard ,mowing too low ,and not fertilizing well.. Here in California we like to do pre-emergent herbicide in February, because in March is already 70 degrees. I like to do fertilizing 1 mont before the Dimention 270. Is only a opinion.
+Cobra 03 Same here. I've seen people absolutely scalp their grass and not only is it really bad for the health of the lawn, it just looks bad. Some people don't have the first clue how to care for their lawn and to make it look great but strangely in their minds they're doing it right and everyone else is wrong!
Sadly, my neighbors do that and even the landscapers they hire do that. They scalp it down to the dirt and destroy the roots. They also like to mow across into my property too where I try to keep my St. Augustine at least 3.5 inches. They are probably like, "This lazy guy here... his grass is so tall, he must never mow it. I'll just send him a message."
I guess if you can buy a riding mower and a trailer, you're all of a sudden a "landscaper" lol. Then they mow it down to the dirt and kill the grass. smh.
Others are just too lazy to mow so they think if they mow it as low as possible they can wait a month before mowing it again... lol
Then one of my next-door neighbors has the most epic sea of 1000's of yellow dandelions. He is a health nut who walks every morning at dawn but is too lazy to mow... huh? When my lawn is healthy and at nearly 4 inches, the dandelions can't even grow in my yard, no matter how many he has.
Up hear in SE Wisc( 70 Mi from Chitown? 1) Pre-Em in April, with our Scotts Plus 2-Weed Feed
#2- Keep and eye out for any starting when Mowing the Lawn and carry a Hand Spade to dig any starting.., Otherwise tell your Lawn Service to do that.. Yoy can Kill it, but still have brunt Dead Stuff in your Lawn and Looks Like Crap.. Have to Did it Up and put in a Plastic Bag and into the Gar-Bage! and we don't mow or do lawn work till eather early 7 -8am or 6-7 pm , its cooler and we also Water Our Lawn with Pop Up's and put down 1/2" wk, are the Keys.. If your too lazy to do those staeps? Hire Someone at ave of $30 per, but don't let them cut it short, leave Mx 3" and EOWk .. Epsome Salt EOMoth-1lb per 1,000 Sq Ft.. and make sure to Water or right before Raining..Don't wast your $ on Chemicals to Kill CG's or most any other weeds, use the Weed & Feed( Scotts+2 is what we used for yrs) .. Get that Kentky Bluegrass aind Fiscue Seed.. and put a couple of Shade Trees in your Lawn.. ! Locust have small leaves and LM cuts them up ( No Raking in fall)
Thanks. Very informative.....but that music HAS to go!
ok I'll fix it.
The music was EXCELLENT!
That music is lit
Hey Allyn, thanks for all your useful lawn tips!!! I'm gonna get that crabgrass post emergent, just wondering what's a good sprayer to use. What would you recommend? I'm new to this but you inspire me too get out there tackle it man!! Thanks again!!
Great Video!
I hope some advice can be shared on this old video, but we recently moved into our home, and it seems that the vast majority of green in our yard is crabgrass, or that dense fescue stuff. The back half of our front yard is bare because there are 2 oak trees that we finally trimmed up to get some sun to the areas. is there a simple fix for this crab infestation, or is a lawn reno needed? any advice would be great. thank you! PS. we live in SOUTH TEXAS, border town, so when LCN mentions "Frost" I laugh. Its hot almost year round, and thinking of going with St. Augustin grass, that's what our neighbor recommended. His lawn looks great.
It is a good idea to buy the pre-emergent early in the spring. Once they run out of it at the store, they do not restock it until the following spring. I have had very good luck with Scott's Weed n Feed with HALTS. I buy the 15,000 square feet bag, and only use 1/3 of it at a time, wait two weeks and use another 1/3, wait two weeks and use the final 1/3.
MJ Hammer Exactly I have learned when you realize you have a grabgrass infestation it is to late to buy the stuff to kill it!
This is the golden age of ordering online. You can order things any time of year and have them delivered to store or directly to your home or business.
Oh yea, i just checked today. My lawn is 80% Crab Grass. What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?! ITS ALL CRAB GRASS. I'm poor and had a crappy lawn mower with a bad motor that just chopped up and dump the grass with literally none going into the grass catch. This was before I started to take a serious look at my lawn and study up on the things. Over time, this process turned majority of my lawn into crab grass. I didn't notice because since it was all crab grass, it looked normal and it was the normal grass that was out of place, now I'm worried because my lawn is encroaching on my neighbor's lawn and thats rude. I'm too poor for chemicals that may or may not work and to even nuke my entire lawn i'd still need chemicals. I'm at a loss, my budget is tight as it is and the crab grass is tearing my family apart. HELP ME LAWN CARE NUT!
Good demonstration ....... thanks for returning to the most basic and best , yet least used ( on UA-cam anyway ) instruction aid - chalkboard
Yesquiet I figured it was the only way to really demonstrate the lifecycle of crab grass. Glad you liked it!
lol, except it is called a white board.... Not so basic, it is cutting edge tech..haha
Our property ajoins a HOA common ground area. The HOA doesn't contract for turf treatment, other than cutting approximately every 3-4 weeks, if then. The problem is what from the street appears to be grass, is actually every conceivable weed known to NE Florida. The HOA states they have no obligation to treat these areas, only to maintain the appearance, i.e. green and mowed. In the meantime, all of these weeds either by the mowers, natural encroachment or just bad luck continues to migrate onto our property. The lawn/pest control service we use haven't been able to control this infestation, if the HOA isn't going to treat their property. Other than moving, which is an option, what can you offer as a possible solution? The Board unfortunately is controlled by northern carpetbaggers. Their solution is much like Joe Bidens: just walk away when you don't or won't answer the questions. Thanks!
Learn to get to the point dude
Learn to put a point on the end of your sentence.
Or find another person to watch.
Exactly, they need to be on point UA-camrs.
A - MEN !!!
I agree!! I'm looking to people who've tried a certain product, etc to see if it works or not, that's it!!
Just realized I have a ton of clumping fescue, not crabgrass! Now that I know that....I think I'd rather be dealing with crabgrass????
Too much useless dialog. Get to the point
Have only seen two (2) of your videos. Top marks that man - for both. Only wish you were equipped with knowledge of eradicating 'paspalum' which plagues me here in my locality in down under (Melbourne, Australia).
don't put chemicals on your lawn.
seriously... you people think you are entitled to pour poisons on your lawn to keep it green.
That garbage poisons groundwater and sickens or kills beneficial organisms such as bees, worms, birds...
god made those for a resion , rich people dump chems in soil .
What is "resion"?
peppe I don't use anymore. Your right it kills, alot of wildlife. We use to see alot of horn toads, bees, not now.
peppe don’t put hamsters in your butt
Great video - one of the better ones out there. But none of these videos address the biggest question. What do I do after I kill all the crabgrass??
I used a post emergent and killed massive areas of crabgrass. Now I just have dead crabgrass in my lawn. It’s way too hot to reseed right now. Will the existing turf naturally spread on its own into the dead crabgrass areas? Or did I just stop the spread and will have dead clumps in my yard the rest of summer.
Not one video on UA-cam actually talks about what matters. Which is how to get your turf lawn back after killing the weeds!!
Someone please help out. I’m willing to dig it out and just patch it with EZ seed I guess but that’s a ton of work for how much area I need to cover.
Beautiful lawn. I'm up in far north Dallas and I just let the crab grass get away/ahead of me. BUT NO MORE. Thanks for the tip for the commercial product.
But damn, did you have to call out your neighbor for her/his poor spreading skillz? :)
Hi there I’m from Northern Ireland. I have loads of crab grass but can’t get tenacity in the uk. Would you possibly have some suggestions for me?? I would really appreciate your time. Hope you are well during lockdown. Many thanks Pamela
Is it okay to cut St. Austin grass 1" height? You see my lawn have 2 main types of glasses under fruit trees St. Augustine grows and other part Bermuda grows. I have two types of mowers-rotary(riding) mower and very old reel mower(works good).
Video is WAY TOO LONG! As a film maker I can appreciate the creativity and high production values. But I’m here for information, not for nice camera work or to be entertained. I‘ll have to find another video.
Lol, very entertaining love your videos, but half of the time I'm not even paying attention to what you are talking about, I'm too busy day dreaming of you being " The Gordon Ramsey of the lawn" I would love for you to come and help me out with my new sod😆. Idk what the heck I'm doing, and its all patchy & dying😟. I don't think the water is draining well. Plus its also growing crabgrass. Ugh its a mess😖
TLDW:
1. Have good lawn
2. Spray pre-emergent before summer, post-emergent but expect ugly lawn until next year.
Hi need help...my lawn have crabgrass last year little and this year more then last year...what’s can I do ? Thanks for help if you have keep link...I live Salt Lake City Ut
I would like to know the following about maintaining one's Crabgrass: How often should one water, what fertilizer to use & how often, what insecticide to use etc.? Asking for my neighbor
i need some help
i gotta project lawn this year. Allyn would be proud lol. but im gonna be battling a whole lotta crabgrass. lawnd being taken over. i think i should go at it with Drive instead of just quinclorac. my question is
do i really ahve to use Methylated Seed Oil as a surfactant...like is it that much better than just baby shampoo? of course i got baby shampoo from allyn as well lol. (big LCN fan here🤓)
help a fellow lawn taker carer out lol
Lawn is littered with Clover and Crab Grass and other weeds, have a very hard time growing grass and every fall around now end up with big bare yellow patches. Was new sod 4 years ago and it never really took off, biggest issue is watering because of the size ( approx 5000 sq feet) do I focus on thickening the lawn first or tackle the weeds first? Or go at it both simultaneously ? Thanks for any help advice you can give.
Is this crabgrass? I planted Zoysia and these are popping up... cant tell if its zoysia spreading or if its crabgrass? imgur.com/a/MV43g Also a side question, does crabgrass die in warm climates in the winter? Because everything says "first frost" kills it, but what about places where there is never a frost and winters get to like 50, maybe 40 at night during the coldest part of the year (such as Southern California).
I gotta tell ya Mr.Lawn Care Nut you should create a classic section for this crab grass info; Near perfect delivery (language and board work.) Is there more to crabgrass that you could and probably have talked about? But of course. Trust me this is a gem.Warren at the start of the Boston Marathon in Hopkinton.
Have you ever heard of quack grass? Trulawn Co. told me they cannot kill it. Trulawn! So it looks like crabgrass, but is more aggressive. I am screwed because it spreads like wildfire.
The video was filled with useful info.. However, the intermittent music between clips is super loud and distracting.
Very well thought. Now I like to ask, I live in the northeast MA to be exact. I have a big problem with Japanese knotweed. I have tried basically everything to get rid of them that it’s hurting my budget. How do I get rid of them for good?
I know this video is old, but would Roundup kill mature crabgrass? I typically use a spade shovel and pull the crabgrass for speratic plants...but for larger areas would Roundup work too?
What's a good Pre-Emergent to throw down in mid to late April in Chicago area that will prevent Crabgrass, Dandelions, AND Woody tree seedlings (like maple trees & rose of sharon bushes) ?
Hello! Can you please talk about nut sedge?? My lawn is plagued by this weed. This is the second year that my lawn has died and has been overrun by nutsedge. My lawn looks beautiful in the spring, dark and thick and then when the heat comes in it weakens greatly and this weed pops up all over my lawn overnight. It's so tall and it takes over the whole lawn. Omg. Help! My landscaper only mows it but it grows back overnight and is fully grown by day 2 and my lawn looks crazy!
Good details about crabgrass.. I have 95% of them in my yard taking over whatever grass I grew last year. I’ve started pulling them out now as there is no other natural or non toxic method. There’s Going to be a lot of patches in the yard. I want to re-seed those areas making sure no more crab grass come out next year. Any tips on how to stop them from the get go? And if I should use natural fertilizers for rest of the lawn? Thanks!!
Just moved to new home, 100 degrees out, lawn is frankenlawn!!!!, do I go after crab grass now? or just feed and weed? HELP!!
Would it be ok to blanket spray quinclorac? It seems like it would take forever for me to be able to identify the crabgrass in my lawn ( it is fairly thick) I want to be able to kill as many as possible before my fall overseed (transition zone, TTTF, KY blue & rye)
I know this is a 5 year old video, but I came for Crab grass info and saw downtown Chicago.. Then heard NW IN and then saw an area that looks very familiar! Morse Place! lol I had a buddy that lived down the street. I live in Hammond. Weird
Take care!
Lawn care nut need your help!!! So out here in Sunny California we're still under drought restrictions. Looks like no one is following the restrictions but me. I use to be the envy of the neighborhood. My grass is shot. Some parts are still green but most still trying to service. Crap grass taking over, these thick patches of tall fescue growing randomly. I watered the lawn for 30mins using a oscillating sled sprinkler and noticed the area that's dying slowly, the soil/dirt is hard and I believe the water is not penetrating to the roots. The part that's green was nice and soaked. I dug up the soil and only about 1/4 of top soil was wet while the other end was great. What can I do? Should I dig up the bad spots and restart over? Should I aerate the lawn? What can I do? By the way, it's sod (tall fescue)
Awesome video. I recently made a career change after 9yrs in professional matchmaking sales I was offered a great opportunity and decided to jump on it because i just bought a home and have taken interest in lawn care. I want to be super successful with this company because i am a beast at sales but i just started a week ago and i am so confused and overwhelmed with how much there is to learn lol. Have you heard of hillenmeyer lawn care services/mosquito authority been around 180 years? I work for their company they started about 10yrs ago called Weed Man. We have our own propitiatory 65% slow release granular fertilizer your the pro so im sure i dont need to explain but anyways would u mind if i asked u a few questions that i have regarding certain terms and how to approach the customer. And if i wondering why i would come to youtube and not my manger it’s because i went through training and am confused as ever their fine with me going above and beyond to do what it takes to learn my industry !
Question. In April I tilled the entire lawn and seeded a fescue bluegrass mix. It's now July 3rd and it's now a beautiful green carpet except an area near my neighbors house and it's covered in crap grass. If I spray and just expect the orange color your talking about, can I reseed in sept? When will the orange go away?
Well mmmmm, how do we repair the law. We have had some serious grab grass issues over the last 4 year's. I spray every year it dies ad then it comes back. Today April 2nd I put out granial type preventer. But noticed really bad damaged areas in the lawn.
Will play planting grass and fertilizer fix it?
My neighbor has crab grass all over their yard. Every time I get rid of the crab grass in my yard, the seeds from their lawn blow over into my lawn and the cycle starts all over again. Now I know I need to grow my lawn thicker. My back yard is thick and green, it isn't so easy in my front lawn. We are experiencing a doubt and a 105+ degree summer right now in Texas. We are on water restriction because of it.
In Oklahoma, planting bermuda will strangle out all the clumping fescue, but I believe it can only be grown easily in the south. In fact it will strangle everything except crabgrass.
@The Lawn Care Nut. crab grass took over back yard. It's now late May, what should be the first step. Just start spraying crabgrass killer and just deal with the ugly dead crab grass through out the winter? It really took over most of the back yard you see crab grass. whatever i do i have to do the whole back yard not spots. Thanks
I am only here cause my mom thinks i stepped on crab grass cause it has spikey things on it instead of getting stung by a bee
SPOILER ALERT
I was stung by a bee
Hi, I move to America not a long time ago and from big city. Now, we have house and lawn and flower beds. It is easy to watch you moves and lean how to take care of it… Could you help me please. I saw another people tell, that baking soda kill the Crabgrass? Is it true?
I'd love to use Quinclorac on our bahia grass here in Central Florida. What else is widely available to use successfully on our bahia grass as a post emergent herbicide? Thanks! 😎
hey man I live in Utah, the Lesco pre emergence stuff isn't sold at the Home Depots in my area. Can you suggest something for my lawn, Kentucky bluegrass?
what’s crazy is i didn’t have crab grass in my lawn at all, once i sprayed weed killer for other weeds all of a sudden i had a TON of crab grass. it takes up nearly my whole lawn, literally everywhere i sprayed is exactly where the crab grass grew. and u can see where i didn’t spray it my grass looks like it did before which was real grass. :(
tiniest, tiniest bare spot in the world: *exists
Crabgrass: IT'S FREEEEEE REAL ESTATE!
Great content and channel! I live in NY and have warm season grass. I am looking for a good pre-emergent. How do you feel about Prodiamine?
This fall the orchard grass is taking hold. Also known as cockspur. Would I treat this the same as crab grass?
7:05 What is the name of the professional product? You just talk about it but didn’t gave the name.
I laid the scotts crab grass preventer in early spring. Am in Michigan. With being summer what month and or temp is ideal to spread the same product again to help for next year??? If the crab grass is at the 4th or 5th stage will the granules work???
Since Drive can't be used in St Augustine Floratam, what would you recommend to kill this weed in Orlando, fl?
With bare spots in my lawn, here, near St. Louis, it is March 10, can I spread grass seed down now and wait a few weeks, then apply per emergence in late april ? My front lawn looks horrible.
I don’t get it. He said you can’t use Quinclorac for young crabgrass, you have to use Drive. But Drive is Quinclorac 🤔
I am having trouble with weed that I am not sure is crab grass. Has softer texture than I associate with crabgrass, but maybe I just am confused. Can you identify if I snd pictures?
I have a desert landscape so DRIVE or whatever you mentioned once in 9+ minutes of video would work great for me. I want it dead, gone and back to just desert rocks!
Will crabgrass pre emergent effect a new lawn? Seeds are barley germinating.. Don't want to hurt anything. Thanks!
Lol @ the end with the "interesting stripes". However, it's a good controlled lesson what some fertilizer can do for you. More believeable than advertising.
